Il Sereno di Lago Como, Lake Como
Not all hotels along the shores of Lake Como exude a lengthy Italian history—this modern property opened in 2016. The owners of the property, which is a sister to the Le Sereno hotel on St. Barts, commissioned Milan-based designer Patricia Urquiola to craft its interiors. She worked with local artisans to create an airy space filled with natural materials (see the walnut-wood staircase in the lobby), and she also designed two motorboats for the property, which can be rented by guests. serenohotels.com
