Time on Lake Como: Strolling Through Villa d'Este

⚓️Push open the cast iron carved gate of Villa d'Este, and you'll feel as if you've fallen into a dream spanning four centuries. This Renaissance palace, built in 1568, was once the summer palace of Cardinal Gallio. In the early 19th century, it was given its current name by Queen Caroline of England. After transforming into a hotel in 1873, it became a never-ending extravagant feast on Lake Como. Lake Como, Lombardy, Villa d'Este 🇮🇹Climbing up the marble steps, the crystal chandeliers in the arcades refract the light of the golden age. In the guest room, the Art Deco-style arched window frames a pool of blue lake. The reflection of the snow-capped mountains that George Clooney gazed at in Ocean's Twelve now overlaps with me through a century-old Venetian mirror. In the hotel garden, under the 600-year-old French sycamore, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's whispers still seem to rustle between the branches. The most amazing thing is the world's only heated swimming pool in the heart of the lake. When your body is immersed in the 38℃ blue waves, you can see the snow-capped Alps when you look up—this may be the confidence that the Forbes judges praised as "having everything a best hotel should have." ⚓️At the private pier at dusk, a Maserati yacht cuts through the gilded lake. The Prosecco sparkling wine handed by the waiter creates fine bubbles, as if Napoleon's regret of not attending in the past is fulfilled at this moment. When the night falls on Lake Como, the price of EUR 1,000/night is no longer a number, but an admission ticket to buy out time and space, allowing mortals to temporarily reside in the folds of Hollywood starlight and royal secrets. 🔱Check in to beautiful destinations around the world🔱
