Villa Sole is a trove of sui generis splendour, from its immaculately-preserved frescoes and stuccowork to the exquisite manicured gardens that surround it. A stay here is a genuine—and marvellous—step back in time.With roots going back to the 16th century, the Villa was acquired by the Dukes of Serbelloni in the 18th, and expanded along the Neoclassical style of the day. It remains full of period heirlooms and artwork—including the bed in which Napoleon and Josepine Bonaparte slept when they visited the Palazzo Serbelloni in Milan.
With its original, exquisite terrazzo floors, frescoes by the school of Tiepolo, and hand-crafted Murano chandeliers, it’s a living museum—a testament to the grandeur and splendor of Lake Como eras past.A full staff — butler and housekeepers, chambermaid, and private chef — is at your disposal at all times. Whether it’s a whim for a midnight gelato or an impromptu dinner for two in the garden, lit by dozens of lanterns, meeting all your needs and wants is their mission.
