Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como sits in a botanical park at Blevio on the eastern shore, about ten minutes by car from Como. The estate grew around Villa Roccabruna and other 18th- and 19th-century buildings; today the accommodation is spread across nine buildings. It is the most resort-like of Sikovia's Lake Como hotels, with two stand-alone villas for families and groups, and it reopened for the 2026 season after a refurbishment.

Editorial assessmentMandarin Oriental is Sikovia's resort-style option on the eastern shore, with a botanical park and stand-alone villas. Il Sereno is nearby but smaller and design-led, Tremezzo the livelier grand hotel on the western shore, and Passalacqua the most private. Choose it for space, families and villa living.

Best for
