Since July 15, 2025, the historical pearl of Bellagio, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, has officially entered the prestigious Relais & Chateaux collection. Built in 1873, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is not just a hotel, but a symbol of timeless hospitality that the Bucher family has cherished for four generations.

By becoming a part of the Relais & Chateaux, the hotel has joined the global community of places that value authenticity, local culture, culinary excellence and the art of welcoming guests sincerely.

“Joining the Relais & Chateaux is a recognition of the unique atmosphere of our hotel,– says Jan Bucher, CEO and direct descendant of the family. “It’s like a wave of a magic wand: magic invisible to others, capable of fulfilling all the wishes of our guests.”

Recognized as a gastronomic treasure of Lake Como, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni offers not only accommodation, but also a sensual journey. The Mistral restaurant, recommended by the Michelin guide, enchants with its magnificent cuisine, where every ingredient reveals its character. La Goletta restaurant, decorated in the style of a classic yacht, has a relaxed atmosphere, and the royal breakfast under the frescoes turns into a real feast of taste. The hotel’s bar uses local herbal ingredients, turning the aperitif into an elegant ritual reflecting the essence of Lake Como.

With 94 unique rooms and suites decorated with antique furniture, Murano glass, silks and works of art, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is a true anthem of Italian hospitality. Every detail tells a story, and the views of the lake are breathtaking. But perhaps the main advantage of the villa is its soul: the dedicated team and the Bucher family, who still live within these walls and greet guests like dear friends.

By becoming a member of the Relais & Chateaux, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni confirms its status as one of the most refined hotels in Italy, where luxury feels natural, quiet, but very convincing.

When the summer rush subsides, Lake Como opens up for real: in the soft golden light, in the reflections of the misty mountains and in the tranquility that is impossible to find in high season. Autumn here is not about saying goodbye to summer, but about returning to authentic Italian beauty, tastes and sensations.

Imagine a walk along the lake on the legendary Riva boat, when the water reflects the fiery crowns of the trees, and light antipasti and Valtellina wine are served on board. Or a picnic in the garden of Villa del Balbianello, where truffle polenta and chestnut desserts are served to the sounds of live jazz.

In the Valtellina wine region, you can spend the day with a sommelier, taste rare nebbiolo varieties and dine by the fireplace in an old house. And in the mountains there are cozy chalets where Italian cooking workshops, hiking trails and meditative retreats in the spirit of slow living are organized.

In the evening, a candlelit dinner at one of the historic villas: Villa d’Este, Villa Erba or Villa Sola Cabiati. A chamber quartet is playing in the fireplace room, and outside the windows stretches the calm lake surface – a special luxury, without fuss, without glitter, but with deep taste and warmth.

And of course, it’s worth staying at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni. Here, history coexists with absolute comfort, and morning coffee on the terrace overlooking the misty lake, the aroma of fresh pastries and the ringing of bells turn into small rituals of happiness in autumn.

Autumn in Como is the season for those who are looking not just for beauty, but for an atmosphere. Here, every detail is filled with meaning, every day is like a soft silk light on the water.
