This is a long, overdue review. But I recently stayed at another small boutique hotel in Europe and they could not even compare to the experience I had at Il Sereno this past March. I think about my stay every single day. The staff here made me feel like the most important person staying at the hotel, with every staff member saying hello to me, addressing me by name. The hotel itself is absolutely incredible. The room was absolutely spectacular. I didn’t want to leave. The spa was beautiful and I had a wonderful, bespoke massage by the manager of the spa. The food was unbelievable— having breakfast in my patio overlooking lake como is something I will remember for the rest of my life. The grounds are immaculate, including a stunning infinity pool overlooking the lake. It is a bit pricey but honestly, they have every right to be. I will forever treasure my stay here and will do everything I possibly can to return. Thank you, Il Sereno— you set the bar for dream hotels.
