FLORENCE - Portrait Firenze: The new Portrait Firenze is a tribute to the timeless luxury of
haute couture, with its colors, materials and details.
That’s no surprise given the property is owned by
the Ferragamo family. From its privileged position
overlooking The Arno River, the stylish and
contemporary hotel is just five minutes on foot
from the heart of the city and an equal distance
from the quieter Oltrarno district located across the
river. Top shops are even closer. Set in the most
desirable section of the city, this five-star property
offers a sense of calm and tranquility reminiscent
of a lavish townhouse. Its 34 sophisticated rooms
and suites were designed by Florentine architect Michele Bönan. With spacious suites and
rooms, the property is perfect for families. http://www.portraitfirenze.com/
LAKE COMO - Grand Hotel Tremezzo: The 90–room Grand Hotel Tremezzo is situated on
the west shores of Lake Como, offering great view across the lake to the exceedingly picturesque
village of Bellagio and the surrounding Italian Alps. The classically-styled property was
purpose-built as a hotel in 1910 and features a
charming Art Nouveau/Italian Liberty-style
design accented by original frescoes and
antique furniture. There is a full-service spa
center highlighted by an outdoor hot tub
overlooking the lake. Sports lovers will
appreciate the gym, tennis court and jogging
paths around the park. Despite its relatively
small size, the property features numerous
dining options and three swimming pools, both
indoors and outdoors. One of the pools
actually floats on the lake. La Terrazza is the fine-dining option and, of course, offers great
views. There are several wine bars and lounges from which guests can choose. The adjacent
village of Tremezzo is home to Villa Carlotta, which you can visit to admire the stunning
gardens. In fact, the parkland area surrounding the hotel is connected to the gardens of the villa.
The hotel is a 5-min walk from Cadenabbia harbor, where guests can access the ferries of Lake
Como. http://www.grandhoteltremezzo.com
