- Il Sereno Lago Di Comoโs Darsena Listening Suite offers a stay unlike any other.
- As per its name, this 200-square-metre โsanctuary for soundโ is equipped with an array of high-end audio equipment to experience its expansive library of 500+ vinyl records.
- Personal requests can even be added upon demand to this already wide-spanning catalogue of tunes, though given the hefty room rate, youโd certainly hope as muchโฆ
With the exception of whatever salacious scenes might be unfolding in the room next door, sound isnโt something one generally considers when booking a hotel. But at Il Sereno Lago Di Como, itโs the name of the game, particularly for its world-first Darsena Listening Suite.
Described as a 200-square-metre โsanctuary for sound,โ this audiophileโs dream marries the iconic views of Lake Como with a bespoke design that champions hi-fi audio.

From the heritage-grade analogue equipment โ weโre talking horn speakers, tube amplification, a turntable, and even a deliciously vintage reel-to-reel deck โ to a curated library of over 500 records โspanning genres and erasโ with personal requests added upon demand, this is a direct invitation to take a beat and immerse yourself in the music.
While this prospect alone would make for a noteworthy stay, remarkably enough, itโs only one half of the postcard picture.

Paired with the above like a full-bodied bottle of red served alongside a fresh plate of handmade pasta, guests can also expect a sumptuous multimedia lounge as well as a fully furnished terrace to drink in the lakeside views; a generous master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe to match (borderline cavernous); and two bathrooms, a wet bar, plus dining room to enjoy the Michelin-star efforts of Chef Raffaele Lenzi (if you canโt be bothered to visit Il Sereno al Lago in person).
Every interior detail and piece of furniture is by Patricia Urquiola. The bathrobes, bed linens, and towels, on the other hand, are courtesy of D. Porthault, Paris.
