As years go by, the beauty of Villa d’Este’s estate in Cernobbio seems to become even more admirable. Just like you’d want to see a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower when in Paris, you’ll need to make time for lunch, dinner, or stroll around this resort from 1873. The best way to do it? Enjoy lunch at Veranda – fine dining with views of the lake. Prior to or following, walk around the 25-acre Baroque gardens – one for lovers of symmetry and aesthetics.
