Translated, Il Sereno means “the serenity,” and the name surely fits.

The hotel features its own private docking facilities and two custom-designed Cantiere Ernesto Riva boats as well as the grand Vaporina del Lago water limousine, which features interiors designed by Patricia Urquiola.

Under the ownership of the Contreras family, Il Sereno Lago di Como is an intimate ultraluxury hotel nestled on the iconic shores of Lake Como, Italy. Expanding on the family’s buzzy Le Sereno in St. Barts, the Contrerases tasked Milan-based designer Patricia Urquiola to imagine a relaxed riff on luxury for the property’s 40 suites—just steps from the waterfront with spectacular lake views and private terraces. The hotel features its own private docking facilities and two custom-designed Cantiere Ernesto Riva boats as well as the grand Vaporina del Lago water limousine, which features interiors designed by Urquiola. Guests can make a grand entrance via boat and cruise Lake Como’s luxe locales via water taxi or the hotel’s boat services.
