HISTORY
Palazzo Venezia Built in 1870, soon after the old port was reclaimed and transformed into Piazza Cavour, Palazzo Venezia is one of Como’s most distinctive historic landmarks. Its Venetian-style façade and the iconic 1904 clock still preserve its timeless charm.

Palazzo Venezia stands as one of Como’s most distinctive architectural landmarks—an elegant witness to the city’s dual soul: celebrated worldwide for the enchantment of Lake Como, yet historically defined by a centuries-old silk tradition that shaped its identity and prosperity.

Erected in 1870, the building rose at a pivotal moment in Como’s urban transformation. It was constructed shortly after the reclamation of the old port area, which in 1869 was reshaped into what is now Piazza Cavour, creating a new waterfront promenade and redefining the relationship between the city and the lake.

Palazzo Venezia was built on the site of a former dye works, a detail that subtly anchors its origins to the textile world that once fueled Como’s economy. From the outset, it served as the headquarters of the Schmidt & Lorenzen silkworks, reflecting the ambition and prestige of an industry that had made Como synonymous with silk excellence.

Its façade, neo-Gothic in style and unique within the city, draws inspiration from the grandeur of Venetian palazzi. The rhythm of its single- and triple-lancet windows—slender, vertical, and delicately framed by narrow columns—gives the building a remarkable sense of lightness, as if the architecture itself were designed to capture and reflect the changing lake light. This refined aesthetic lends Palazzo Venezia a quiet theatricality, making it an unmistakable presence on the piazza.

A further emblem of its identity is the clock set on the corner of the building, installed in 1904. Still in place today, it is considered the oldest among the more than 120 historic clocks scattered throughout Como—an understated yet evocative reminder of the city’s enduring bond with time and tradition.

Long before Palazzo Venezia would take on its current role, the eastern side of Piazza Cavour had already established itself as a privileged address for hospitality. As early as the beginning of the 19th century, Como’s first deluxe hotels opened in this area, welcoming travelers drawn by the romance of the lake and the elegance of the city.

Following a meticulous restoration, the building was reborn in 2018 as a new five-star address on Lake Como, reviving the tradition of elegant hospitality once associated with the eastern side of Piazza Cavour.
In 2025, a new chapter unfolds with the opening of Palazzo Venezia, part of Villa d’Este La Collezione – the group’s curated portfolio of distinctive luxury properties. It is also the first five-star hotel in Como to be included in The Leading Hotels of the World.

Today, the building remains a symbol of Como’s layered heritage: where Venetian-inspired architecture meets industrial legacy, and where the city’s timeless sense of place continues to evolve while honoring its past.

Il Sereno brings a new era of luxury to the banks of Italy’s iconic Lake Como. Awarded the title of “Most Anticipated New Luxury Hotel Opening in 2016” by Luxury Travel Advisor magazine, Il Sereno’s ethos of understated elegance presents a freshness to this well-established destination.

Designed by Patricia Urquiola, Wallpaper* Magazine Designer of The Year 2015, the all-suite hotel promises modern style and an authentic flair, all in the name of effortless comfort. This Lake Como Hotel incorporates the unparalleled beauty of the Lake in its seamless design with panoramic view from every inch of the outstanding property.

The 30 spacious suites, ranging from 40 square meters in size to The Penthouse at 200+ square meters, all make full use of the natural light and awe-inspiring scenery with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the peaceful waterfront.

Keeping with the Sereno promise that there is no substitute for space and a view, this intimate yet sophisticated property complements the breath-taking mountains, and tranquil waters with ease.

Guests can relax at the hotel’s full-service spa, situated under original, century-old arches. The property features a private beach, as well as a dock, allowing guests to arrive via one of the hotel’s boats, custom-built by Ernesto Riva.

The 60-foot-long freshwater infinity pool suspended over the lake is without a doubt one of Il Sereno’s show-stopping features, and the large sundeck is perfect for spending a leisurely afternoon under the Italian sun.

THE DESIGN
Revered Milan-based architect and designer Patricia Urquiola achieves a stylish modern look at Il Sereno, moving away from the Faux Renaissance and Neo Classical designs that dominate the area.

The New York Post, who predicted that Il Sereno “will bring a dose of highly contemporary style to the shores of Lake Como”, placed the hotel among the World’s Top 19 Hotels to Visit in 2016.

Urquiola worked with the exquisite scenery and complements the natural surroundings with a flawlessly simple, yet contemporary design. One of the leading names in design today, Urquiola has been commissioned by brands including Louis Vuitton, Baccarat, Panerai and Missoni, amongst many others.

The peaceful sanctuary created by Urquiola uses the surrounding elements to ensure complete relaxation, and draws inspiration from Lake Como’s culture, lifestyle and history. The well-developed design sensitivity that Urquiola brings to the space ensures that each room incorporates and showcases the unique beauty that surrounds it.

This project is of special importance to Urquiola with the hotel being close to her hometown, Milan, allowing her to have a real sense of what the property needs to remain authentic in its divine location.

Il Sereno is made largely from natural materials, including wood, stone, wool and other fabrics, to create an aesthetic full of authenticity and personality, whilst remaining timeless.

Joining Urquiola on the project is esteemed botanist Patrick Blanc, whose two delicately-crafted vertical gardens and awe-inspiring sculptures can only be described as living works of art.

This unique creation is made up of three different aspects, Le Mirroir Vert du Lac, Le Canyon and Les Racines Echasseesm, which is particularly noteworthy, as it makes Il Sereno the only place in the world where Blanc has done three distinct pieces in one project.

Inspired by the colours and movement of the lake, this stunning artwork ensure that the hotel blends effortlessly with its backdrop. Key to the design has been to instil the same principles that have made Le Sereno St. Barths a success.

Sereno Hotels strive to ensure guests feel a strong sense of place, a well-developed design sensitivity and a feeling that the challenge of exclusive, sophisticated and high-end services in a relaxed and simple manner has been achieved. A central brand promise is that no matter how luxurious or well-designed, there is no substitute for space and a view.

SUITES
Following the Sereno brand’s philosophy of contemporary luxury in an intimate setting, the hotel features just 30 lake front suites, each with grand high ceilings, and just steps from the waterfront.

The spectacular lake views and private furnished terraces make for an exceptional holiday experience. Suites range in size from a generous 60m2 (600sq-ft) to The Penthouse at 200m2 (2,150sq-ft); which includes an expansive private terrace and garden

THE PENTHOUSE SUITE
The Penthouse Suite is incredibly spacious, and perched on the top floor of the hotel. The suite enjoys a grand outdoor terrace and a private hot tub. Inside, there are two bathrooms, a dining room, wet-bar, multimedia room and an expansive walk-in closet.

At the center of the restaurant, a dramatic and intricate stairwell solidifies the restaurant as a visual experience, as well as a culinary one. At Berton Al Lago, guests can celebrate life, love and friendship in a casually elegant environment set against stunning Lake Como views.

THE FOOD
At the helm of Ristorante Al Lago, Chef Berton and Chef Lenzi present modern Italian cuisine in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The menu’s inspiration comes from the local surroundings—the lake with its fish and aromatic herbs, the mountains of Valtellina known for its incredible wines, cheeses and meats, and the nearby Pianura Padana, known for its risotto and other fantastic ingredients, are all incorporated in a tribute to the rich and diverse area.

The restaurant also offers a seven-course vegetarian tasting menu, taking full advantage of all the incredible produce from the regions surrounding Lake Como and making use of ingredients from the hotels’ own herb garden. Wine pairing with the menu is also available.

THE CHEFS
Sereno Hotels partnered with decorated Milan restaurateur Andrea Berton to lead Il Sereno’s signature restaurant, Ristorante Berton Al Lago. With more than 27 years of industry experience, Chef Berton is a celebrated and respected restaurateur who has won four Michelin stars across three restaurants in Milan.

Berton is currently the chef of his newest namesake Ristorante Berton in the futuristic area of Milan, Porta Nuova Varesine, in addition to being owner and consultant of Milan Restaurant: DRY Cocktail & Pizza.

Il Sereno tapped Raffaele Lenzi as executive chef of Ristorante Berton Al Lago, where he is responsible for the hotel’s daily culinary operations. Most recently the chef at the luxury TownHouse Galleria hotel in Milan, Lenzi has nearly 20 years of experience in the culinary industry, beginning with his first job at his family’s bakery.

Lenzi has six years of international training between London, New York and Rome, and he has had the privilege of training under top, award winning chefs: Elio Sironi at Bulgari in Milan, Pino Lavarra to Rossellinis restaurant in Ravello, Stefano Baiocco a Villa Feltrinelli on Lake Garda in Italy.

Il Sereno, Berton and Lenzi deliver, “Italian dishes that are enhanced with a modern twist,” which can be seen in the simple yet imaginative takes on classic dishes, like the Saffron Risotto made with Genovese ragout and mushroom powder or the Veal Milanese made with almonds, turnip tops and spicy sauce.

There were so many different textures and flavour combinations, it’s truly inspiring to see what the chef created. Chef Raffaele Lenzi has created a seven-course vegetarian tasting menu, which should inspire even non-vegetarians … With the unique view, everything tastes twice as good.. You will be taken away by a cuisine as modern and inspired as the decor (by Patricia Urquiola)

RISTORANTE SOTTOVOCE
Vista is proud to present the spectacular Ristorante Sottovoce, one of the first rooftop restaurants in the city, where in an intimate atmosphere surrounded by incomparable views guests can enjoy an unforgettable experience for the palate, eyes, and spirit.

The Chef of Ristorante Sottovoce, Stefano Mattara, an established talent in the Italian culinary scene who has worked with internationally renowned Michelin-starred chefs, presents his distinctive gastronomic philosophy through dishes characterized by an intersection of tradition and experimentation, bringing to life a gourmet cuisine with an international touch.

The ingredients, largely provided by the finest purveyors of authentic Italian specialties, are artfully combined to create an impeccable harmony of flavors, colors and textures.

A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY.
Guests can opt for the Tasting Menu, or choose from our à-la-carte selections. In this new menu Chef Mattara wanted to capture the freshness and lightness of summer with “LIGHT BIO”, an organic black quinoa with a light cream of pickled peppers, dried olives, powdered thyme and vignarola; the tradition of our territory through a personal revisitation of lake perch with “BOMBE DEL LAGO”, pasta filled with perch and sage, served with Chinese mandarins and raw tomatoes; and a special innovation he calls “ORTO DOLCE”, or ‘sweet garden’, a dessert made entirely with fresh vegetables from the garden.

INFINITY BAR
Where the view is infinite, the atmosphere infinitely effervescent, and the experience an infinite discovery. Infinity Bar: the ideal rendezvous in the heart of the city, whose terrace offers a breathtaking view and the promise of unforgettable sensory delights.

The Infinity experience begins with reading the menu, which proposes a delightfully unexpected thematic journey through the cocktails themselves.

An experience that will intoxicate our guests even before tasting these extraordinary concoctions, along with some of the finest Italian and international wines, spirits and brews. And we believe that part of the Infinity experience is the deliberate absence of plastic straws.

In Europe alone, more than 500 million straws are used and discarded every day. Which is why we don’t use them at Infinity Bar, preferring to offer you the option of a bamboo or metal straw on request.

A TASTE OF ELEGANCE.
The signature cocktail list that you will find at the Infinity Bar wants to be a tribute to our guests who come to visit Como and its famous lake from all over the world.

For this reason, at the Infinity Bar, you will savor classic drinks twisted in a simple but fancy way, to create unique cocktails evocative of distant worlds. Cocktails as a link between different cultures and people, mixed in a glass.

But that’s not all: Vista guests can also enjoy the convenience of two special menus: the All Day menu (10 am-22 pm) , and the All Night menu (11p.m-7am), each with a rich variety of offerings to satisfy every appetite.
