Editorial Review

Villa d'Este is not just a hotel; it is an institution of European high society. Originally built in 1568 as a summer residence for Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, it features 25 acres of immaculate Renaissance gardens, an iconic floating swimming pool on Lake Como, and grand interiors filled with antiques, silk drapery, and marble columns.
