Lake Como, Italy

The Inspirato Collection offers three lakefront homes and two upscale resorts in northern Italy’s most posh destination: Lake Como. Directly across the lake, the magnificent Villa Pliniana has welcomed guests like Napoleon Bonaparte. This grand, 16th-century lakefront palazzo sits on 18 sprawling acres with its own private pool, on-site spa, dedicated butler service, and custom-built boat and dock. The 19th-century, seven-bedroom Villa Breva offers a private lakeside dock, garden with outdoor dining area, plunge pool, and terrace overlooking the lake. And Villa della Capra features an artfully designed interior and more central town living.

Enjoy a quiet stretch of private lakefront at Il Sereno, a partner hotel with a one-of-a-kind feature: a heated, infinity-edge pool hovering just above the waters of Lake Como. On the lake’s western shores, stay at the historic and opulent Grand Hotel Tremezzo, offering three pools and its own beach.
