Il Sereno Hotel

Set along the shores of Italy's Lake Como, the Il Sereno Hotel is a modern getaway in an old world setting. Each of the hotel's 30 suites offers floor-to-ceiling windows to better take in the waterfront views, contemporary furnishings, walk-in showers, and outdoor terraces. Also on site are a full-service spa, located under original, century-old arches, a 60-foot freshwater infinity pool, a restaurant, a private beach, and a dock. Be sure to make use of the latter by arriving on one of the hotel's three custom Riva boats.
