Bianca Relais

Oggiono

Lake Annone

Italy

You may surely know the world-wide famous Italian Lake Como, which has been for decades the beloved holiday destination of hundred of International celebrities, royals and Paparazzi on their footsteps, but did you know that, nearby, there is one little, less touristic, more authentic and so charming called Lake Annone? A beautiful and peaceful place where time itself seems to stand still. The perfect spot to take a break, regenerate your body and mind and fully enjoy this amazing Italian area and its one-of-a-kind natural and cultural heritage. A little natural paradise in the green Lombardian Brianza, you'll fall in love with at first sight. As French Author Stendhal felt as he visited the village of Oggiono. In this iddylic scenary, surrounded by the Alps and located near Lecco in the countryside - less than an hour away from the city of Milan- a few years ago, the 5-Star boutique hotel Bianca Relais, which is a member of European network Les collectionneurs, was opened. This exclusive, luxury, cosy and welcoming establisment , run by General Manager Mr.Piero Longo, promotes the virtuous Slow tourism. "For us, Bianca is a way of expressing our philosophy of life, our culture and our principles. We do believe hospitality can slowly but surely shape the nature of a place for the better. It gives us strength to keep up the good work".⁣⁣ At Bianca Relais, it is indeed all about Well-being at 360 °. The lucky guests are pampered all their stay long as they are offered the opportunity to experience the best service ever: From the luxury rooms- only 10- with a refined design and a breathtaking view on the lake, to the cocktail bar and the Gastronomic restaurant 'Bianca sul Lago' by Michelin-Starred (one) Italian Chef Emanuele Petrosino, who has been awarding as 'Best Young Italian Chef of 2019' by Michelin's guide. This green property, which extends over an area of 15.000 sqm, with olive trees and an organic vegetable garden, which supplies the kitchen, is definitively like a luxury 'Home sweet Home' away from home, surrounded by Mother Nature, where to escape from your daily routine and live a well-deserved retreat in complete privacy and in the most sustainable way. Re-opening on 25th March.
