The Hotel is situated in one of the most panoramic spots on the western branch of Lake Como, midway between the jet-set destination of Cernobbio and the vibrant city of Como, just a few minutes by car from the Como Nord exit on the A9 highway. Directly overlooking the lake, it was built in the 19th century as the private residence of the nobleman Marchese Raimondi, and was the site of his daughter’s short-lived marriage to the hero of Italian unification, General Giuseppe Garibaldi, in 1860. It was transformed into a hotel in 1958, then partially modernized in 1992. Now, having just recently undergone a complete refitting and restyling, It stands proudly and elegantly as an absolutely unique destination on the international hospitality scene. The physical plant is completely new, with special attention to energy savings and low emissions. The subdivision of the spaces, while respecting the original structure, has opened up new panoramic views that turn a simple stroll through the villa into a series of continuous visual surprises. Moreover, the conversion of the attic floor made it possible to create a restful and secluded spa and fitness area.
