The Villa d’Este, originally Villa del Garovo, is a Renaissance patrician residence in Cernobbio on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy.
This romantic and lavish hotel was once the private residence of Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio of Como in the late 16th century.
In 1815, it became the residence of Caroline of Brunswick, estranged wife of future King George IV. “Its garden seems almost suspended in the air”, she wrote in her diary, “and forms a scene of complete enchantment.” She gave it the name Nuova Villa d’Este and had the park landscaped in the English style.
Since 1873, the Villa d’Este complex has been a luxury hotel which is a popular destination of Hollywood celebrities and elite billionaires for its ultra-luxurious amenities.
Today, with room rates averaging €1000 ($1200) a night and top suites averaging €3500 ($4200) per night, the villa is a luxury hotel for wealthy people and a high-level congress center.
In June 2009, Forbes reckoned it the best hotel in the world, while in 2014 it was listed as the 2nd best resort in Europe by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Every May, the hotel holds a Concours d’Elegance for vintage and concept cars, the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which was first presented in 1928. In September, it hosts the annual Ambrosetti Forum, an international workshop attended by prominent figures from the fields of politics, finance and business, which has taken place there since 1975.
