Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como reopens on April 15 after a comprehensive renovation of the historic lakefront estate. Nestled in the quiet village of Blevio, close to central Como and convenient airports, the hotel offers a private, nature-rich setting on the shores of Lake Como.
The property occupies the 19th-century Villa Roccabruna and now features 21 guest rooms, 52 suites and two private villas. The refurbishment refreshes the accommodations and public areas with a tasteful blend of Italian elegance and Asian influences, retaining the building’s historic character while introducing contemporary comforts.
Outdoor and communal spaces have been carefully redesigned to enhance the guest experience. A botanical garden showcases around 50 species of plants, trees and flowers, creating tranquil walking paths and natural views. CO.MO Bar & Bistrot provides a relaxed lakeside terrace for casual meals and drinks, while L’Aria serves contemporary fine dining with lake views and a focus on seasonal ingredients. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como includes four private treatment suites, a beauty salon, a well-equipped fitness center and a variety of heat and water therapies tailored for relaxation and wellbeing.
