THE DISCREET CHARM
OF AN HISTORIC HOTEL
Tradition, style, taste, a discreet touch of exclusivity: these are the credentials that make the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio one of the most popular destinations for international tourism and well-being.
The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, which is regularly quoted by both Condé Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure as one of the best hotels in the world, lies at the tip of the promontory in Bellagio, a small Medieval town known as the “pearl of the lake” for its beauty and privileged position in the centre of Lake Como.
Since 1873, when the private home was turned into a luxury hotel, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni has welcomed the greatest names in European aristocracy, and today offers all lovers of quality of life a truly unique holiday, far from the madding crowd for a personal and relaxing experience.
The original charm of the rooms with their frescoed ceilings, the bedrooms, the Royal Hall, with its splendid Murano glass chandeliers and richly gilded mirrors, can still be admired today.
One of the secrets that has maintained this rather magical atmosphere is the presence of the Bucher family, who have owned the Grand Hotel for generations.
The Buchers live in the hotel and are truly able to make their guests, on holiday or on business, feel like they are staying in a grand home from the past century which, year after year, opens its doors to welcome back its old friends.
An atmosphere of a bygone era, but of course a range of services which respond to the needs of today. The elegant “Mistral” restaurant – 1 Michelin star – is serving top Italian dishes and a full menu of molecular cuisine. The more informal “La Goletta”, by the pool, is open continuously from Noon to 11,00 pm. to give guests the chance to eat when they like better. Both restaurants are managed by Chef Ettore Bocchia.
Wellbeing lovers may enjoy two tennis courts, two pools (one indoor), gym (a special cardio-fitness room with Technogym equipment and another dedicated to Pilates), squash court, and Villa Serbelloni SPA, the hotel’s spa which provides beauty and wellness programmes lasting from 1 to 6 days, including specific wellness and beauty treatments for men.
The hotel also offers residential apartments and a its own jetty for direct landing at the hotel and for private lake trips.

Notes on treatments offered
Glamour – To restore luminosity to face and body. Starts with a body treatment with Shorea karité butter and corn oil, cardamom and nutmeg. Then the face: cleaning with cleansing milk and gommage followed by a mask of hazelnut oil, sesame and avocado. Finally, a steam massage with essential oils of citron and mandarin. Glamour is particularly popular with brides before the ceremony. Length of treatment: 90 minutes.
Hot Stones – Treatment inspired by an ancient American Indian ritual, with a draining, detox effect, designed to restore balance to the energy channels and main systems in the body (cardiovascular, gastro-enteric, muscular).
The hot stones are placed on the Chakra (without direct skin contact) to open the doors that promote the absorption and flow of energy through all bodily channels.
Warm oil is spread on before the massage, done first using the hands and then the stones: the stones slide over the body like a hot cloud, offering a deep-down feeling of well-being.
The treatment lasts around an hour and a half.
The Culla di Olos is an Olos Natura therapy which restores mental and physical well-being. It combines the advantages of manual massage to the benefits of steam, essential oils, music and colour. The wooden bed used for the treatment can be height-adjusted to graduate the steam differently in different parts of the body.
Each Culla di Olos session involves four main phases: cleansing, purification, treatments and relaxation. In each phase, steam is used to enhance the effects of each action and the active ingredients contained in the products. (length: one and a half hours.
Special Bride – For the bride, the Beautiful bride program includes bridal makeup, manicure or French manicure, mask and facial massage. The program for the bride and her mom offers balanced lunch, facial massage with a neck and shoulder massage, body scrub with massage and herbal tea.
