If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to feel like nobility, this is the place. Prepare for full-on luxury at every turn in this wonderfully over the top property – even when it comes to simply taking a dip, you can flit between the water-on-water floating pool on the lake, the flower pool infused with heady seasonal fragrances, and the infinity pool in the T Spa. There’s also T Beach – a classic lakeside lido inspired by the Belle Epoque era, with real sand, loungers, parasols and mountain vistas that have to be seen to be believed.

With a backdrop like this along with  golden views of Bellagio across the water, resisting exploration is near impossible. Wanderers board one of the water limos at the resort marina, or hire a restored mahogany-hulled Venetian motorboat for a mystery tour uncovering the lake’s secret nooks. It wouldn’t be Italy without sampling the cuisine, think long rosé-soaked afternoons peppered with visits to local vineyards, followed by spaghetti vongole on balmy evenings at Tremezzo’s main restaurant La Terrazza.
