Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como, Lake Como
Garden villas and a serious spa on the quiet eastern shore.
Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como sits on the quiet eastern shore of the lake at Blevio, close to the town of Como. Its villas are set within a botanical park, with a floating pool on the lake and one of the best spas in the region.
Best when wellness matters as much as the view.
Where you’ll be
Blevio is calmer than the busier western shore, with the hotel's gardens reaching down to the water. Boats leave from the hotel for Bellagio and the other lake villages, and the town of Como is a short drive away.
The stay
Rooms and suites are spread across villas in the gardens, many with lake views. The spa is a highlight, and dining by the water is relaxed and elegant. Service has the Mandarin Oriental polish.

Make the most of it

- Visit the garden villas: Villa del Balbianello and Villa Carlotta are highlights, especially in spring bloom.
- Book a long lakeside lunch and leave the afternoon unplanned. Como rewards a slower pace.
When to go
Late April to early October. Many lake hotels close for the winter, and May, June and September are the sweet spot.
