The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Built around the restored 19th-century lakeside villa of soprano Giuditta Pasta (the original Norma — 'casta diva' is her famous aria), this 73-room resort is spread across nine historic villas connected by lush gardens on the quiet Blevio shore. With its floating swimming pool, lakeside L'Orangerie restaurant, full destination spa, and water-taxi service to Como town, it offers grand resort facilities at a slightly more accessible price point than the very top tier.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
A Junior Suite with lake-view terrace in one of the historic villas (Villa Roccabruna or Villa Penelope) is the honeymoon sweet spot. The Pasta Suite, named for the soprano, is the showpiece accommodation with its own private garden right at the water's edge.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival
Private transfer from Milan or boat from Como. Welcome aperitivo at the Sky Lounge with views back to Como, then a relaxed dinner at L'Orangerie right on the lake.
Floating pool day
Spend the morning on the floating swimming pool moored just off the hotel jetty, with breaks for lake swims and gelato. Afternoon couple's massage in the destination spa, then dinner under the trees.
Como town
Take the hotel water taxi to Como (just 10 minutes) for the Duomo, the silk museum, and lunch in the historic center. Return for an afternoon by the pool and an aperitivo at the Sky Lounge.
Bellagio by boat
Boat north to Bellagio for cobbled streets, lunch with a view, and a wander through Villa Melzi's gardens. Return in time for sunset cocktails on your terrace and dinner at the gourmet restaurant.
Riva day on the lake
Charter a vintage Riva Aquarama for a half-day with swim stops, an offshore champagne aperitivo, and lunch served from a hamper. Quiet evening in for in-suite dining.
Cernobbio and gardens
Visit the gardens of Villa d'Este (with reservation) and the historic Villa Erba grounds. Lunch in Cernobbio, return for a long spa afternoon, then a tasting menu at L'Orangerie.
Farewell
Slow breakfast at the lakefront, one final swim in the floating pool, and a goodbye walk through the gardens. Water taxi to Como and onward transfer to Milan.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Sprawling resort layout with golf carts shuttling between villas — not ideal for couples wanting an intimate boutique feel.
Blevio is a quiet residential shore with no nightlife — plan boat rides for evenings out.
Open seasonally, typically late March through early November.
Larger than the boutique villas (73 keys) and hosts events/weddings; check the calendar before booking.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Good for honeymooners?

Best time to visit?
May, June, and September are ideal — pleasant weather, lush gardens, fewer day-trippers.
Book in advance?
Yes — four to six months ahead for summer is sensible.
Adults-only?
No, families are welcome, but the multi-villa layout means couples can find quiet corners easily.
Best room type?
Junior Suite with terrace in a historic villa, or the Pasta Suite for a major splurge.
How to get there?
