"Exceptional stay! The location, service, and food were all outstanding. Everything was so enjoyable that we didn’t want to leave. This was truly a stay to remember, and we will definitely be back."

"We just finished a 6 night stay in Alcove Suite to finish our 2 week Italy & Switzerland trip and boy it was great way to end it. The hotel is uniquely special and it starts when you pull up and make the walk to the lobby. The resort is impeccable in every way and what sets it apart are the great people. We can’t say enough good things about all of the people who helped us and some special shoutouts to Dennis in the pool area, Federica in the spa and Leonardo the bread man on the wait staff. The room was just as described and twice a day mad service was just perfect. We used the spa twice for massage services and were at the pool every day. We also did a 6 hour boat tour with Fabrizio and took out the personal sized boats for 2 hours ourselves. Breakfast every day at the restaurant or in our room was great and so many options. We did dinner 3 nights at Al Lago and it got better every night. There are some other choices where you can walk to Torno or get car service to Como or Blevio but it will cost you. Dinner option here at hotel or in your room will be better than going anywhere else. Overall we cannot recommend this place more on lake como as far enough away from busy towns of Bellagio or Varenna but I would choose to stay here every day. Menaggio was our favorite town as more laid back and less crowded. Thanks to everyone here at the hotel that made our vacation special."

"I truly enjoyed my stay at Il Sereno. The hotel is modern, beautifully designed, and its strongest asset is the stunning location with breathtaking views over Lake Como. All rooms have lake views and feature spacious balconies, which is a major highlight. The design is contemporary and elegant. The restaurant was a standout — both the food and the atmosphere were excellent. I especially appreciated the F&B team, who were highly professional and welcoming. Overall, the service across the hotel was of a high standard. Communication through WhatsApp with the hotel staff was smooth and helpful. I also enjoyed the well-organized boat tour of the lake. Everything from check-in to departure was handled efficiently and with care."

"I’m still dreaming about our stay at Il Sereno and wishing we could return every year. This hotel was a splurge for us, and I wasn’t sure if its minimalist style would feel truly luxurious. I was so wrong. Il Sereno’s understated design is paired with a level of comfort and beauty that feels effortlessly upscale. And the views? Absolutely priceless. The staff made our stay even more special. With such an intimate property, we were able to get to know them, and their thoughtful touches made our 10-year anniversary unforgettable. We had the privilege of experiencing both the Lario Suite and the Corner Suite—each spectacular in its own way. The Corner Suite offers sweeping views, but the Lario Suite wins for its massive closet (perfect for a longer stay!). Thank you, Il Sereno, for an incredible experience. ❤️ PS—Ignore that one negative blog review floating around out there. It couldn’t be further from our experience."
