Hi Everyone,
Lake Como has to be one of my most favourite places and Il Sereno, a 5 star hotel situated right on the shores of the lake is certainly one of my most favourite hotels. It is just under 7 km away from the centre of Como city and I consider it to be a must visit for anyone interested in design. You might like to read about my very first visit to Il Sereno here.
There is always something new to discover and each stay leaves both Hubby and I feeling super refreshed. It is the only time I will ever sleep with the curtains wide open so that I can be sure to wake up to the beautiful full Lake Como view.
This visit we saw the new wing which has been added to Il Sereno and we had a look at the fabulous new penthouse suite which is also Europe’s first ever shoppable penthouse suite.
Normally we take one of the georgous custom Cantiere Ernesto Riva boats out for a spin. However, this time we had fun with the new Elektro Fiat 500 – more about this further on.
Another highlight of our stay was dinner – did you know that Il Sereno has one of the few Michelin star restaurants along the lake of Como!
Enough of an introduction – time to scroll down for more about “New at Il Sereno, Lake Como – Europe’s First-Ever Shoppable Penthouse Suite & More”.
New at Il Sereno, Lake Como – Europe’s First-Ever Shoppable Penthouse Suite & More
Europe’s First Ever Shoppable Penthouse Suite
Il Sereno is famous for both its luxury and modern design. Its interior has been diesigned by award-winning Spanish designer, Patricia Urquiola. A combination of the natural ambiance of the surrounding environment with comfort and luxury.
In the past many hotel guests have requested to buy furniture and accessories for their own homes. This lead to Il Sereno now having Europe’s First Ever Shoppable Penthouse Suite.
Guests can purchase bespoke furniture designed by Urquiola herself, as well as collectors-worthy armchairs and bookcases. Urquiola worked with Italian designers and furniture makers to design one of the most stylish penthouses in all of Italy.
The suite was designed with natural materials, like Canaletto walnut wooden ceilings, Verde Alpi stone walls, and Venetian Terrazzo floors. Of course, views of the lake take center stage with the large windows perfectly framing the water and mountain scenery.
I am a huge fan of the terrace situated off to the side of the penthouse.
The bathrooms are also a favourite feature of mine…
Each time we stay I tell the hubs that we’re also getting bronze tap fittings next bathroom!
New Fiat 500 Elektro
Also new at Il Sereno is the ever so cute Fiat 500 Elektro. A fabulously sustainable way to navigate the narrow windy roads, particularly direction Bellagio.
Be sure to ask about the car when you make your booking at Il Sereno.
