Villa d'Este, Renaissance villa in Cernobbio, Italy.
Villa d'Este stands on the western shore of Lake Como, featuring classical architecture with symmetrical facades and multiple terraces overlooking the water.
The villa was constructed between 1565 and 1570 under the direction of architect Pellegrino Tibaldi as a summer residence for Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio.
The gardens combine Italian Renaissance and English landscape designs, reflecting the influence of Queen Caroline who resided at the property in the nineteenth century.
The property now functions as a luxury hotel with rooms starting at €1000 per night and includes multiple restaurants, swimming pools, and conference facilities.
Each May, the villa hosts the Concours d'Elegance, an international exhibition of vintage and concept automobiles that began in 1928.
