The most quietly refined hotel on the lake — a 19th-century villa on a private hillside between Como and Bellagio with Mandarin Oriental's signature spa, private lakefront access by jetty, and a notably personal service offering.
Why We Chose It
The Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como occupies a 19th-century villa on a private hillside in Blevio — 75 rooms with private lake access, a Mandarin Oriental spa, and the finest service experience of any hotel on the lake. Multiple terraced garden levels descend to a private jetty surrounded by cypress and olive trees. The intimate scale means guests rarely feel crowded. The spa is the finest on the lake. Private boat service to Bellagio and Varenna is available from the hotel's jetty. Open April–October.

- Best spa on the lake — Mandarin Oriental signature facilities
- Private hillside setting with terraced gardens descending to a private jetty
- Private boat service to Bellagio and Varenna
- Blevio location: quieter than Tremezzo
- equally beautiful
