Ronco dell’Abate

If it ain’t broken don’t fix it and by that we mean we wouldn’t change a thing about the Ronco dell’Abate. Especially if what you are looking for is a combination of culture, history, hospitality and authentic food and drink. All done in that inimitable classy Italian way, of course. In short, this is one of those places where a stay is more than just a stay but - rather - an experience to enjoy. The friendly staff and concierge would not have it any other way. 

Of course, it helps that this small luxury retreat is not very far from Lake Como with its incredible natural landscapes and architectural gems. That alone should put anyone in the mood to relax and enjoy the good things life has to offer but the Rocco dell’Abate adds to all this with perfectly preserved and restored historic furnishings, 17th century paintings, rare books and even a Westminster grandfather clock that have all been matched with a contemporary, chic style.

So, whether you are looking for the simplicity of just sipping a glass of wine from the cellar on the terrace, enjoying views to die for of Como and the lake, or the sophistication of the period furniture and the library of a bygone era the Ronco dell’abate delivers. And with only three bedrooms to choose from it’s almost a home from home.
