This hotel was absolutely the most gorgeous hotel I have ever stayed. The suites are grand and pay a homage to its time period. The views are unbelievable and the staff is so polite and accommodating. I do wish they would have changed up the menu each morning for breakfast and each night for dinner. Great spot to travel North and South to Lake Como. A wonderful time was had on our girls trip!
