There are so many beautiful destinations to visit in Italy, but if you’re craving some tranquility after bustling Rome, don’t miss an excursion to arguably one of the most stunning locales: Lake Como. Situated just an hour and a half from Milan, this northern Italian spot is one of the most popular for romantic getaways. Whether you’re getting ready for a destination wedding à la Padme and Anakin (we’re Star Wars fans here), a honeymoon, or just want to experience true luxury, the are so many hotels dotted around the Lake Como shores worth visiting.

Most hotels in Lake Como close for the winter, since its proximity to the Swiss border often mean cooler seasons than the rest of Italy. With re-openings in March, the late spring is often considered one of the best times to visit. The crowd—and therefore the hotels—tend to become more full in the summer, but in September you may get the experience the last dregs of warm weather, without too much competition.

Whether you want to visit a centuries-old converted villa or you want a modern masterpiece hotel with all the amenities you could want, we want you to experience the best Lake Como has to offer. Here, find the eight most luxurious Lake Como hotels that will have you considering a permanent move.
