The rooms were beautifully decorated, although the blow dryer could use an update. Service was remarkable, always ready to help and attentive.

Villa d'Este is a lavish experience that truly makes you feel special from the moment you arrive. The views of Lake Como are simply breathtaking, and the dining options are exceptional, making for a memorable stay. However, while the property is grand and charming, some areas could benefit from updates, particularly the room sizes and technology. Prices are quite high, so it's worth considering your budget before booking.
