Converted into a grand hotel in 1873 and continuously renovated, Villa D’Este, a former 16th-century residence, is more than just a hotel. It is an idea made true by a team dedicated to anticipating every wish of their guests. A sojourn at this lakeside villa, set in a magnificent 25-acre park, is an unforgettable experience. 152 elegant suites and guestrooms, 4 exclusive private villas, top-rated cuisine and personalized service set the stylish atmosphere.

We went to Villa d’Este in 2019 for a wedding and stayed there. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it is the most iconic hotel I have ever stayed in. The garden design, together with the architecture of the hotel, creates such a peaceful atmosphere. Staying in a historic property with such beautiful design, well-maintained grounds, and top-level service gives you a completely different feeling. The restaurant’s food and the breakfast were rich and delicious. I had never seen an adult game room in any other hotel before—it really caught my attention and stayed in my mind.

There's nothing I can add that probably hasn't been said before in the reviews. This is a special hotel, and probably one of the best we've ever stayed in. Every person is profesional, courteous and helpful. The food, facilities, gardens, and beauty of this hotel is top level. We stayed here with our two teenagers and the hotel provided us with connecting rooms. Fresh fruit in the rooms is provided every day, with chocolates for turn down service. Just sitting at breakfast overlooking the Lake is a special moment. If you're looking for the Lake Como dream trip, this, and of course, Grand Hotel Tremezzo are your top choices. The floating pool on the Lake is amazing (much bigger than the GHT pool). One word of amusement: there are several social media influencers here and they're entertaining to watch.

Everything about the Villa D’Este is spectacular and done with great care, passion, and elegance. Every staff member I met went above and beyond to make things perfect. Big thank you to Barbara Gibellini for making us feel welcome

What an amazing hotel! It’s so much more than a historical gem. The palatial interiors and magnificent gardens are a privilege to reside in. The restaurants Grill and Veranda are sublime decadence. The staff throughout are courteous and never show signs of fatigue even in the height of summer. This is truly an amazing hotel .

This hotel surpassed all of my expectations. My friend and I arrived at the hotel, a little weary from traveling from the United States. We were able to check in a little early, which was much appreciated. They had a lovely silver bowl with fresh peaches waiting for us when we got to our room. We had a beautiful view of the lake. The blackout shutters are the best I have ever experienced. The beds were so comfortable and ensured a long deep sleep. The food was exquisite! I recommend having drinks by the pool. The Rossini was my favorite. The staff were attentive and met or exceeded every expectation. Their breakfast buffet was so fabulous. everything I had was so wonderful. The grounds are so beautiful and I cannot wait to come here again!
