"The eastern-shore resort answer to the lake's grand-villa hotels, quieter, larger, and the strongest spa on Lake Como."
Mandarin Oriental opened the property in spring 2019, the conversion of the previous CastaDiva Resort & Spa, which the group had acquired in 2018. The property sits at Blevio, on the eastern shore of Lake Como, the quieter, less-developed side, with views directly across the water to Cernobbio and the western-shore villas. The seven-hectare grounds are organised around the eighteenth-century Villa Roccabruna, built in 1799 and famously restored by the operatic soprano Giuditta Pasta in the 1830s as her summer retreat. The villa, fully restored, now houses the property's signature Roccabruna Suite and several function rooms.
There are 75 rooms in total, 24 guest rooms, 49 suites and junior suites, and two private villas (Villa Roccabruna and Villa Vittoria), distributed across nine separate buildings within the grounds. The lakeside Suite Lago Garden, with its private garden and infinity-pool access, is the canonical honeymoon choice; the Roccabruna Suite (the historic villa's main bedroom, with frescoed ceilings and a private terrace) is the property's heritage flagship. Standard guest rooms run 40, 50 square metres; junior suites 60 square metres; villas 200, 400 square metres. Most accommodations have lake views; some on the upper buildings have views additionally toward the wooded slope behind the property.
The Mandarin Oriental Spa, at 1,300 square metres, is the largest hotel spa on Lake Como and consistently ranked among the strongest spas in continental Europe. Inspired by the four elements, it includes an indoor 25-metre lap pool, sauna, steam bath, ice fountain, Kneipp circuit, Himalayan-salt room, and twelve treatment rooms (including two couples' suites with private hammams). The signature treatment is a 90-minute Lake Como Ritual using locally sourced linden honey and Como silk. The 'Perfect Health' programme, three to seven days, with a structured nutritionist, dietician, and movement schedule, is the property's wellness flex and books a year out for spring.
The 'Pool on the Lake' is the resort's photo, a 25-metre heated infinity pool that sits at lake level, surrounded by a wooden deck that overhangs the water on three sides, with views to Cernobbio across the lake. The pool is heated to 28°C year-round. Three restaurants split the dining: the L'Aria Ristorante (Mediterranean Italian fine dining, lake-view terrace), the CO.MO Bar & Bistrot (lakeside, more casual), and the rooftop Sun Bar (light Mediterranean, in summer). Chef Massimiliano Blasone's wine list runs deep on Lombardy Franciacorta and Northern Italian whites.
Service is the brand's reliable consistency, Mandarin Oriental's spa-and-Asian-service register works particularly well in this setting, where the western-shore palace hotels lean Italian-traditional. Children are well-handled (a kids' club, dedicated kids' menu, the smaller heated pool, and connecting rooms across most categories), and the boat dock runs guests across to Cernobbio, Bellagio, and Como city in the property's wooden launches. The two-Mercedes airport-transfer service from Milan-Linate (50 minutes) is included in the rate for stays in suites and villas.
Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como is the lake's strongest wellness option. The 1,300 m² spa is the largest on the lake and matched in continental Europe only by the Brenners Park-Hotel and the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum. The Perfect Health programme runs structured three- to seven-day protocols with a resident nutritionist, dietician, and movement coach. Pair with morning yoga at the lakeside platform and dinner at L'Aria for the lake's most considered wellness reset.
The Suite Lago Garden, private garden, direct infinity-pool access, separate living room, is the canonical honeymoon book. The hotel's wooden launch will run a sunset cruise; the L'Aria Ristorante terrace is the lake's quietest fine-dining room (the resort's eastern-shore position means the sun sets behind the western mountains rather than over the lake, giving the dinner hour an unusually long golden moment). Pair with three nights at Hotel de Russie in Rome for the textbook Italian honeymoon arc.
Mandarin Oriental's Lago di Como is the family-resort answer to Lake Como's grand villa hotels. The kids' club runs structured programming (cookery, sailing, painting), the heated infinity pool stays at 28°C year-round, and the room geometry across the nine buildings handles two- and three-bedroom configurations the smaller boutiques can't. The Two-Bedroom Lake Suite is the standard family book; Villa Vittoria the larger-group option.
