| Villa d'Este-Lake Como ItFeatured |
|
 Villa d'Este, a former 16th century princely residence, surrounded by a 25 acres park, is more than just a hotel. The luxury and magnificence of a bygone era is maintained intact. We simply added all the up-to-date facilities. Upon emerging from the revolving doors you feel the cares of the modern world slip away and the warm greetings of the staff make you feel at home.
 Set on the shores of Lake Como, the Hotel is located in one of the most important crossroads between Italy and Northern Europe. 45 minutes from Milan, 35 minutes from/to Fiera Milano Rho.
The Veranda Overlooks the Lake and the gardens. It is formal and elegant (jacket and ties required in the evening). Glassed-in, windows electrically controlled disappear into the ground. In the Summer tables are also set up on the terrace. The menu is traditional Italian haute cuisine. Excellent wine list. Breakfast: 7,00 am to 10,30 am. Lunch: 12,15 pm to 2,15 pm. Dinner: 7,30 pm to 9,45 pm.
For over 2,000 years, poets from Virgil and Catullus to Tennyson and Longfellow have raved about the lakes of Lombardy, but it is impossible to do justice when describing the spectacular beauty of Lake Como without visiting and understanding it. The lake is approximately 28 miles (45 km) long and never more than 2 miles (3 km) wide. Private boats and ferries travel up and down the lake, offering views of the most important villas, such as Villa d'Este and Villa del Balbianello, Villa Pizzo and Villa Carlotta. From the pier of the scenic town of Cernobbio, a less-than-two-hour boat ride transports visitors to Bellagio, "Pearl of the Lake" - the most picturesque village of Lake Como.
 A beautiful 18-hole park land course designed by Peter Gannon which winds its way through chestnut, ash and pine trees sheltering golfers even from the intense August heat. Villa d'Este is considered one of the most challenging and difficult par 69's in Europe, even though it is the site of several amateur competitions each year. The club house overlooks several holes and a spacious view of the Montorfano lake. Distance in miles from Villa d'Este: 7 Open: from March to December Closed on: Tuesday Course: 18 holes, 6331 yards, par 69, SSS 71
