If you know anything about Lake Como, you’ve heard about the Mandarin Oriental. Located on the shore of Blevio, this previously privately owned villa has been skillfully restored in what became one of the world’s most picturesque hotels, elevating themselves even further after a renovation to the outdoor area in 2022. From family getaways to couples trips, it’s a one-fits-all hotel that is designed in a way that each guest remains unbothered by others. The infinity pool that blends with the lake is a selling point on its own, yet Izakaya restaurant L’Aria is one of a kind on the lake, too.
