The imposing building was erected in 1568 for Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, who wanted a summer residence on the banks of the beautiful Lake Como. Once a favorite meeting place for aristocrats, the property is now a high-end hotel with 25 acres of superb gardens. It became a hotel back in 1873 and it has been renovated many times since then. However, all the updates were carried out with great care in order to preserve the original charm of the building.
Villa d’Este now has 152 lavishly appointed rooms, each one with its own unique décor. Sophistication and elegance characterizes the entire hotel, from rooms to lounges, terraces and restaurants. Dining here is a truly wonderful experience, wherever you may choose to eat. Your options are varied, and each restaurant and bar make an excellent choice.
