An Architectural Marvel by Patricia Urquiola

Il Sereno isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a living piece of design history. Renowned for her collaborations with Louis Vuitton, Boffi, Missoni, and Baccarat, Milanese architect Patricia Urquiola brought her inimitable aesthetic to the shores of Lake Como. Minimalism meets warmth in natural woods, local stone, and textiles that mirror the lake’s palette.

Urquiola’s interiors frame the outdoors—every room is drenched in natural light with hypnotic views of mountains and water. Vertical gardens by botanist Patrick Blanc turn living walls into breathing artwork, making Il Sereno a true sanctuary of style and serenity.
