As always, the wellbeing of our guests is our top priority, so our recent re-opening includes several new health and safety protocols. Fortunately, Il Sereno’s airy, the open-plan layout makes appropriate social distancing easy and our spacious suites are perfect for escaping to your own private sanctuary.

Lake Como is largely back to normal and thriving. There is nothing better than spending time outdoors and enjoying the sunshine, so here are some of the top activities for you to enjoy during your stay:

• Hikes from the hotel, with or without a guide (read our guide to hiking here).
• Watersport activities on the lake – don’t forget to ask our concierge what is available.
• Private yoga sessions.
• Cooking classes in small groups, or just you and the chef.
• Take a transfer to one of the towns around the Lake – please note that capacity on these trips have been reduced by 50%, unless guests are related or from the same household.
• Enjoy our private Riva boats that only require a driving license to operate.

Each of these dishes is accompanied by Bollinger Special Cuvée champagne “Il Sereno” or Rosé Love Léoube of Chateau Léoube, plus natural / sparkling Il Sereno limited edition water. This magical experience is available to outside guests (without the Larusmiani Basket) and is a well-guarded secret of Lake Como’s boat owners, whom come to the hotel’s dock to pick up their gourmet picnic fares. The price is €200 for 2 people.

Don’t forget that Villa Pliniana has also reopened, and can now be booked for an exclusive-use living experience bar none. The entire property, spa, and grounds will be at your sole disposal, so why not invite your family or close friends and enjoy some time away together? Il Sereno Al Lago will also be open and is serving some new, delicious meals for you to sample. For reservations, visit the Il Sereno or Villa Pliniana website, or email info@ilsereno.com or info@villapliniana.com. We look forward to seeing you soon!
