Perched proudly on the Bellagio hill near Lake Como, the building that houses Hotel du Lac has been around since the late 1800s. Run by the Leoni family, this cozy hotel is the perfect choice for those who want something quaint and charming.
While the hotel was made to be fitting of the modern era, the “old Italy” elements were still kept. This makes the establishment feel like a time capsule of the old world.
Going into the reception, many guests first marvel at the hand-painted desk that dates back to the early ‘60s. Many pieces of furniture exude an old-world charm while appearing modern. Going on the first floor, you will step into a contemporary-looking lounge with furnishing in silver-grey colors.
On the corridors that lead the way to your room, you will notice various paintings depicting Lake Como. Done by Esther Maria Negretti, they capture different angles of the lake, giving a refreshing touch to the hotel. It’s very simple and laidback, but it ensures a welcoming atmosphere.
The rooftop terrace is what makes the hotel such an attractive choice to most guests. With its panoramic view of Lake Como, it is the perfect place for you to sit and look at the sunrise or sunset.
At the end of the day, you can go to the spa area for a massage or retreat to the comfortable rooms. The mellow, cream-colored furniture and pearl-colored curtains are very inviting after a long day.
