Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni Makes Time Stand Still On Lake Como
June 4, 2025- Luce del Lago Spa at Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como
The season calls for stillness. After months of relentless calendars and headline noise, slow glamour returns—and it brings silk slippers, candlelight corridors, and lakeside silence with it. Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni sits like a living fresco at the heart of Bellagio, framed by water, sky, and 150 years of history. Its new wellness sanctuary, Luce del Lago, opens a fresh chapter, inviting you to rest, soak, and stay a little longer.
The Comeback of Slow Glamour
Step onto the lakefront terrace and enter a world that resists rush. Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni leans all the way into old-school grandeur—with intention. Gilded mirrors. Hand-painted ceilings. Creamy marble floors that whisper history. Every detail reminds you that style doesn’t shout, it lingers.
Rooms unfold in layers of silk, rose-tinted light, and framed lake views. Some are newly redesigned for the season ahead, but the soul remains the same. You arrive as a guest. You leave as part of the story.
Downstairs, the Terrazza Darsena bar offers front-row seats to the sunset with a pianist setting the pace. Aperitivo stretches into dinner. There’s no need to check your watch.
The Spirit of Bellagio
Bellagio sits at the heart of Lake Como like a gemstone on a crown. Serbelloni is its diadem. The town is built on gradients—steep staircases, cobbled alleys, and shopfronts lined with lemon ceramics. From the hotel, every corner is walkable. Every walk becomes a vignette.
Guests explore by ferry or by foot. But the hotel’s private wooden boat tours remain an unforgettable highlight. Guides trace the shoreline, pointing out storied villas and cliffside chapels. Time bends out on the water. You swim, toast, and return with salt in your hair and prosecco on your breath.
The Ritual of the Stay
Every moment at GHVS follows the rhythm of Italian pleasure. Coffee on the terrace. A morning dip in the lakefront pool. A long lunch under linen parasols. When it rains, you linger in your suite with a glass of rosé and views that feel painted.
La Goletta, the hotel’s casual restaurant, serves focaccia with a backdrop of poolside palms and mountains in the distance. At night, the Michelin-starred Mistral sets a different tone. Chef Ettore Bocchia crafts tasting menus with ingredients sourced from rare producers—some made exclusively for the hotel.
Each meal is a procession. Each course is a conversation. And yes, the view always steals a bite.
Luce del Lago: A New Chapter in Wellness
Opened in March 2025, Luce del Lago elevates wellness to ceremony. Designed by architect Silvia Pedretti, the spa fuses modernity with deep Italian craft. Stone, mosaic, light, and scent combine to create a space that heals through harmony.
You begin in the lakeside pool, then pass through sensory showers, massage baths, and a marble-clad etruscan hammam. You emerge lighter and book again!
Inside the Suite Spa Privée, couples enjoy private hammams, balneotherapy, and chromotherapy—all wrapped in stitched silk panels inspired by the villa’s gardens. Treatments use truffle oil from Alba, Sicilian citrus, and mountain herbs in partnership with Italian wellness house MEI.
For those seeking movement, a Technogym studio, yoga pavilion, and walking paths through historic gardens create a rhythm of restoration.
