With EPIKDRIVES, your adventure is more than just a drive—it's an experience for all senses of pure luxury, captivating landscapes, and indulgent hospitality at Lake Como's best hotels.
This ultimate driving tour seamlessly combines adrenaline-fueled mountain passes, scenic valleys, and pristine lakes with the refined elegance of Lake Como’s most prestigious hotels. After a thrilling journey, relax and rejuvenate at these world-class destinations:
1. Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa
Situated in the charming town of Menaggio, this sophisticated hotel offers a blend of historic elegance and modern luxury.
Beautifully Designed Rooms: Classic and contemporary elements are artfully combined to provide a luxurious and comfortable retreat.
Gourmet Restaurant: Experience a fusion of traditional Italian flavors and innovative culinary techniques for unforgettable dining.
State-of-the-Art Spa: Pamper yourself with rejuvenating treatments, a heated indoor pool, and a cutting-edge fitness center.
Travel Tip: If you're staying at the Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa, the Lake View Loft Rooms are an excellent option. While the lake isn't visible directly from your bed, you’re just a few steps away from breathtaking views—perfect for short stays. For a full lake view from your bed, opt for the Junior Suite Lake View.
2. Grand Hotel Tremezzo
Located in the picturesque town of Tremezzo, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo is an enchanting retreat that seamlessly combines old-world charm with modern luxury.
Floating Pool on the Lake: Dive into elegance with a swim in the floating pool directly on Lake Como.
T-Spa: Rejuvenate in the luxurious spa offering breathtaking lake views and treatments inspired by the surrounding nature.
Gourmet Dining: Indulge in fine dining at "La Terrazza," where every dish is crafted to perfection with local flavors and innovative twists.
Lake View Rooms & Suites: Enjoy panoramic vistas of the lake and the picturesque town of Bellagio from your elegantly designed suite.
Travel Tip: While the Grand Hotel Tremezzo boasts an unbeatable location and stunning lake views, it's important to note that a busy road runs directly in front of the property. For guests who are light sleepers or prefer a quieter ambiance, booking a room facing the gardens at the back of the hotel may offer a more peaceful experience without compromising on luxury or charm.
3. Villa d’Este
Set within a 16th-century villa surrounded by stunning gardens, Villa d’Este is a true icon of luxury and refinement located in Cernobbio.
Historic Grandeur: Sumptuous accommodations adorned with antique furnishings and luxurious amenities.
Multiple Restaurants: Each offers a unique dining experience with culinary excellence.
Private Gardens & Floating Pool: Enjoy breathtaking views and leisurely activities such as golfing or boating.
(4.) Raffles Lake Como (Opening 2027)
Scheduled to open in 2027, Raffles Lake Como will be situated in Moltrasio on the western shore. This luxurious retreat will combine the heritage of the Grand Hotel Imperiale with contemporary elegance, offering 84 rooms, including 18 suites and two private villas.
Why the Best Luxury Hotels are at the Western Shore of Lake Como
The western shore of Lake Como is particularly special for several reasons:
Sunshine & Microclimate: This side of the lake enjoys more sunshine throughout the day due to its orientation, enhancing the appeal of luxury hotels with pools, lakeside dining, and lavish gardens.
Scenic Views of Bellagio: Towns like Tremezzo and Menaggio provide stunning views of Bellagio across the lake, especially at sunset, creating a truly picturesque experience.
Historical Villas and Gardens: The western shore boasts iconic villas like Villa Carlotta, with exquisite art collections and meticulously landscaped gardens that attract visitors from all over the world.
Accessibility & Convenience: The western shore of Lake Como offers the widest, best-kept roads—a true delight for drivers. Its proximity to Switzerland (just about an hour’s drive away) makes it a prime gateway for travelers arriving from Zurich or other Swiss cities. Unlike the busier central and eastern parts of the lake where traffic can get chaotic, the western shore provides a more seamless and enjoyable driving experience, enhancing its appeal as a luxurious and convenient base for exploration.
Charming Villages: Menaggio and Tremezzo offer quaint cobblestone streets, charming cafes, and vibrant piazzas with a more relaxed feel compared to the bustling central areas.
