LAKE COMO

If you still have yet to experience the majesty of Lake Como, now’s the time. Been before? Here’s a reason to go again. From the brains behind the iconic, family-run Hotel Grand Tremezzo comes a brand new hotel sitting quaintly above the village of Moltrasio. More than three years in the making, the 24-room retreat was formerly a single-family mansion and villa. Originally built in the 18th century, it played host to some of the world’s most brilliant minds, from Napoleon Bonaparte to Winston Churchill. Resplendent in restored frescoes, hand-blown glass chandeliers, mirrored secret mini bars, glossy damask walls, and exquisite works of hand craftsmanship by Italy’s most esteemed artisans, it’s a stunning model of Italian design—boasting seven acres of lush gardens throughout.

What To Wear:

Lavish interiors and regal gardens call for luxurious fabrications and rich tones. By day, look to airy caftans and huge sun hats (swap in a silk head scarf for windy boat rides on the water—bonus points if the silk is locally sourced). By night, don’t hold back on sumptuous evening elegance.
