Il Sereno Lake Como

A Leading Hotels Of The World hotel. Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Italy’s Lake Como is as glamorous as it is gorgeous, so it’s no surprise that Il Sereno, which opened in 2016, is an exceptionally designed sanctuary of luxury. With a mere 40 suites, the hotel affords guests true privacy and relaxation. Panoramic views of the lake can be seen from nearly every location, from the secluded gardens to the 60-foot, infinity-edge pool. A private docking facility allows guests to explore the lake by a commissioned, hand-built water limousine. Fresh cuisine inspired by the nearby regions of Valtellina, Lake Como, and the Milanese Plateau treats guests to a variety of authentic Italian flavors.

In the hotel’s own words

Il Sereno brings a new era of luxury to the banks of Italy’s iconic Lake Como. Awarded NO. 1 in Italy by Conde Nast Readers choice Awards ( 2022) and NO. 1 Hotel in Italy by T&L Word´s Best Awards (2021) Il Sereno’s ethos of understated elegance presents a freshness to this well-established destination.

The 40 spacious suites, ranging from 40 square meters in size to The Penthouse at 200+ square meters, all make full use of the natural light and awe-inspiring scenery with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the peaceful waterfront. Keeping with the Sereno promise that there is no substitute for space and a view, this intimate yet sophisticated property complements the breath-taking mountains, and tranquil waters with ease.

Our talented chef Raffaele Lenzi leads the hotel’s indoor-outdoor Michelin Star restaurant Il Sereno Al Lago which was awarded in its first year of operation with a Michelin star.

Guests can relax at the hotel’s full-service spa, situated under original, century-old arches. The property features a private beach, as well as a dock, allowing guests to arrive via one of the hotel’s boats, custom-built by Ernesto Riva. The 60-foot-long freshwater infinity pool suspended over the lake is without a doubt one of Il Sereno’s show-stopping features, and the large sundeck is perfect for spending a leisurely afternoon under the Italian sun.

The Design:

Revered Milan-based architect and designer Patricia Urquiola achieves a stylish modern look at Il Sereno, moving away from the Faux Renaissance and Neo Classical designs that dominate the area. The New York Post, who predicted that Il Sereno “will bring a dose of highly contemporary style to the shores of Lake Como”, placed the hotel among the World’s Top 19 Hotels to Visit in 2016. Urquiola worked with the exquisite scenery and complements the natural surroundings with a flawlessly simple, yet contemporary design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
