February 5th marks 60 years since the arthouse film La Dolce Vita was released. We look at what La Dolce Vita means in modern-day Italy at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, the epitome of the sweet life.
Steeped in history, the luxurious Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni looks perfect. It’s located on the shores of Italy’s stunning Lake Como and offers everything from Murano chandeliers and frescoed ceilings to Michelin-starred cuisine.
The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni has been in the ownership of the Bucher family since 1918. It has consistently attracted international travellers from around the globe since its opening to the public in 1873.
Guests at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni can follow in the footsteps of many well-known people who’ve stayed there throughout the years.
Imagine the looks on your friend’s faces when you tell them you stayed in a room once occupied by President John F Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Clark Gable, or even modern-day screen icon Al Pacino.
Another nice feature of The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is its positioning. Here, guests get the opportunity to enjoy a holiday away from the crowds and, at the same time, enjoy nature in one of the world’s most beautiful regions.
