Michelin Star (Berton al Lago)
Condé Nast Traveller Hot List
Hotel · Torno, Lake Como

Il Sereno is Lake Como's most architecturally significant contemporary hotel — a 2016 design by Patricia Urquiola that introduced a rigorous modernist sensibility to a landscape dominated by 19th-century grandeur. The 30 suites are all lake-facing, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces above the water. The hotel's restaurant, Berton al Lago, holds a Michelin star and is the finest dining address on the lake. Il Sereno represents a different proposition from the belle époque palaces: quieter, more intimate, and entirely focused on design and gastronomy.
