Grand Hotel Tremezzo
Two elevators, one blazing electric sign and a lakeside town with international ambitions: when the Gandolas opened their hotel in 1910, subtlety had clearly missed the boat.
Warum der Umweg sich lohnt

Villa Carlotta
Giovanni Battista Sommariva has turned an old noble residence into a showpiece of marble and paint, ready for Europe’s cultured travelers. Then comes the next twist: a Prussian princess gives the entire villa away as a wedding present.

Gardens of Villa Melzi
Lake water ahead, crisp neoclassical lines behind: Francesco Melzi d’Eril clearly did not think a summer retreat should look off duty. Napoleon’s vice-president commissioned the estate; then Stendhal and Franz Liszt arrived, shifting the story from politics toward Romantic inspiration.

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni
One lakeside villa, two very different crowds: first a noble family on holiday, then political figures and Hollywood stars moving through its salons. Bellagio’s transformation into an international resort is wrapped up in that change of audience.

Villa Serbelloni and the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center

Villa del Balbianello
