The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni was built as a private home in 1853 and turned into a luxury hotel in 1873. It is located in a privileged position in Bellagio, a small medieval town known as the "pearl of the lake” for its beauty and its position at the tip of the promontory in the centre of Lake Como. The hotel has been regularly quoted as one of the best hotels in the world. Still nowadays the Bucher family, owner of the hotel since 1918, enables its guests to live the evocative atmosphere of the past, while responding to their needs and desires of current times as well. That’s why Villa Serbelloni’s guests enjoy the sensation of being hosted in an elegant hotel, while feeling at ease living an unforgettable holiday experience... The 2018 season will also be a very special one as the family will celebrate the anniversary of 100 years in Bellagio at Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni. The two restaurants give guests the opportunity to choose their preferred style of food: Mistral is elegant and Michelin starred. La Goletta is an informal restaurant offering traditional food including pizza. Both are managed by Chef Ettore Bocchia. The SPA in the hotel, and the Fitness Centre, in a pavilion in the garden, are open to guests interested in wellness and gym. The hotel takes also care of its younger guests, providing them an indoor pool and a play area in the garden.

Outside the hotel, the small Medieval village of Bellagio offers shopping occasions and the visit of two world-wide known historical gardens: the one in Villa Melzi on the lake shore and the other one of the Rockfeller Foundation, on the hill where you can enjoy amazing views of the Lake. The surroundings can be explored while strolling at the countryside or by mountain bike. The watersports lover can practice water skiing or rent a canoe to explore the lake “from the lake”. Because of its beauty, the high-quality service and the magnificent inner spaces the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is the ideal location for holidays as well as for weddings, private parties, and top management business meetings. The Grand Hotel is a “pet friendly” structure where small pets are welcome.

Great passion, close attention to raw materials, creativity, experimental cuisine: these are the factors which make the two restaurants managed by Ettore Bocchia a “must” address for culinary tourism lovers. The Mistral Restaurant is the more formal, elegant, refined restaurant and it is located on the spectacular terrace overlooking the lake. Thanks to the creativity and passionate commitment of Executive Chef Ettore Bocchia, since 2005 the Mistral got 1 Michelin star. In 2013 the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni gained another prestigious and valuable asset: Carlo Pierato, in 2014 has been awarded as the best Maître d’Hotel and Manuel Ferrari in 2015 as the best Pastry Chef of the year by the Espresso Restaurant Guide.

During the week-ends, the Mistral is open both for lunch and dinner while during the week days it is open in the evening. Every night the dinner is accompanied by live music. From Monday to Friday, Mistral can be reserved at lunch for private or corporate events. La Goletta Restaurant: located next to the swimming pool, is characterized by a cozy and casual atmosphere inspired by the boats of the lake. The restaurant offers dishes of traditional Italian cuisine and an excellent Gastro Pizza made with natural raising agents, a creation of Chef Bocchia. La Goletta gives its guests the opportunity to have lunch whenever they want because it is open continuously from Noon to 11,00 pm.

It is a new way of cooking based on the scientific observation of what happens to the ingredients in the process of cooking, cooling and matching during food preparation. This new awareness leads to improve traditional dishes as well as discovering new cooking methods, new taste experiences and new opportunities for dietary cooking. Chef Ettore Bocchia was the first in Italy to approach this type of research, since 2002. In his two-fold role as rigorous researcher and creative chef, he has paved the way to Italian molecular cuisine in Italy and today he is considered to be its initiator and major authority.
