R Collection Hotels, a prestigious family-run collection of luxury hotels in Italy, has broadened its exclusive assortment of five-star accommodations by integrating Bianca Relais, idyllically positioned along Lake Annone and encircled by the Prealps.

Bianca Relais emerges as an enchanting retreat where water and mountain vistas converge amidst verdant surroundings. Concealed by ancient olive trees populating the vibrant park and encased by an assortment of pomegranates, pears, apples, cherries, and berries, the hotel’s garden provides a fresh array of seasonal produce to the on-site restaurant. This serene setting offers guests the ultimate indulgence—escaping the everyday to rediscover peace and personal connection.

ROOM AND SUITES

The establishment boasts ten elegantly designed rooms that offer broad lake panoramas coupled with impeccable five-star hospitality. Rooms are adorned with nature-inspired wallpapers and panoramic windows, showcasing craftsmanship from leading Milanese designers and artisans. The decor harmoniously blends natural elements and luxurious textiles with cutting-edge technology, ensuring an unforgettable lodging experience in a captivating milieu.

WELLNESS & SPA

Each guestroom includes an in-room Starpool spa, providing a serene space to unwind with a steam bath set against the backdrop of the area’s untouched natural beauty. Exclusive to the three premium suites, private balconies come equipped with panoramic whirlpool tubs, enhancing the unique ambiance of a stay at Bianca.

The ERRE SPA at the hotel offers a tranquil escape with features like a silent hammam, a cleansing sauna, a Himalayan salt wall, a cozy tea corner, an outdoor whirlpool, and a revitalizing hydrotherapy circuit, all designed to rejuvenate both mind and body.

GASTRONOMY

At the Bianca sul Lago Restaurant, the culinary artistry captures the essence of Italian gastronomy, offering an elevated dining experience. The picturesque setting of lake meets mountain is visible through expansive restaurant windows, inspiring each plate. Chef Alessandro Cannalire’s creations are a personal journey through memories, emotions, and flavors, culminating in a culinary exploration near Lake Como.

Nestled within 3.7 acres of vibrant greenery, Bianca’s setting ensures a tranquil and restorative stay. Daily harvests from the on-site garden enhance meals throughout the day—from morning fresh fruit to evening’s vegetable-centric gourmet dishes.

The wine list is a curated collection of Italian and French masterpieces alongside gems from lesser-known vintners. From age-old memorable wines to over two hundred unique labels, Bianca’s accessible wine cellar is a treasure trove for oenophiles.

At Drop, the property’s lounge bar, guests can savor a drink or light meal in a relaxing setting at any time. With a design that flows from cozy indoor spaces to a sprawling terrace with lake views, Drop offers a versatile all-day venue ideal for a serene breakfast, a scenic pre-dinner drink, or a craft cocktail to cap the evening.

EXPERIENCES & ACTIVITIES

Bianca Relais encourages guests to dive into the locale with various exceptional activities both on and off the premises. For wellness enthusiasts, options include yoga, mindfulness sessions, stretching classes, and digital detox experiences featuring serene woodland walks and lakeside mindfulness practices. Adventure-seekers can choose from a scenic three-hour bike ride, kayaking on Lake Annone, paragliding over Lake Como, horseback riding across diverse terrains, or trekking from Lecco to the stunning overlook at Pian Sciresa atop Monte Barro. Further experiences like golfing, private guided tours of Milan, and exclusive boat or helicopter trips are available to enrich guest stays with memorable moments.

Area General Manager, Marco Montagnani shares, “We are thrilled to join R Collection Hotels, a prestigious family-owned brand with deep Italian roots and expertise in luxury hospitality. Their commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with our vision at Bianca Relais, and we look forward to welcoming guests with the same five-star service, warmth, and authenticity that define our hotel.”
