Meet Villa Sola Cabiati, a sister residence of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, one of the most enchanting hotels on Lake Como. First built in the 16th century, the Villa took on its Neoclassical appearance in the 18th century when it was renovated by the Dukes of Serbelloni.

Set on the shore of Lake Como and surrounded by traditional Italian Gardens, this stunning villa offers its guests a view of a lifetime. It has been considered one of the most magnificent aristocratic villas.
