The room details are impeccable, with silver, leather, brass, and silk shining everywhere. The Mini Bar is incredibly generous, offering three bottles of wine alone. The bathrooms are all marble, and the fragrances and amenities by Aqua Como are perfectly fitting. The hotel boasts a magnificent terraced garden! With ten levels of steps, seats for resting are placed everywhere, paired with beautiful fabric cushions, as if you could sit down anytime and gaze at the lake, embodying the classic Italian Dolce far niente—the sweet art of doing nothing.
