FINE DINING FINE ART
By Roger Grody
The restaurant setsitselfapartby seamlesslyblending finediningwith a world-class art experience.”
GregWalker, ManagingDirectorof Tavistock Restaurant Collection
At an increasing number of high-end restaurants, artistry on the plate is complemented by masterpieces on the walls.
The most memorable dining involves all the senses, and artistic impressions on the plate are frequently paired not only with great wines, but with world-class paintings or sculptures as well. Showcasing art heightens the dining experience and some restaurants known for their culinary arts double as art galleries.
At New York’s Le Bernardin, Chef/Co-Owner Eric Ripert’s seafood-centric compositions have earned every imaginable accolade, including a rarefied trio of Michelin stars. As part of Le Bernardin’s 2011 renovation, a 24-foot-long triptych oil painting, Deep Water No. 1 by Ran Ortner, was installed. The formidable seascape brings energy to the room while helping define the sense of purpose. “Art is very important to a guest’s overall dining experience. It has the power to transform the atmosphere of a room, instilling an emotional response,” said Ripert. Addressing the Ortner piece specifically, he said, “It sets the mood for guests who come from the hectic city into the soothing marine atmosphere of Le Bernardin.”
Pao by Paul Qui, located at the glamorous Faena Hotel in Miami Beach, gets high marks for globally eclectic dishes, such as uni with corn pudding and sake aioli or Wagyu short rib with red curry. Pao is also known for chic designs and provocative art. Most notable is Damien Hirst’s “Golden Myth,” a towering bronze and gold-leaf unicorn in the center of the dining room beneath a domed ceiling. The sculpture explores the boundaries between legend and reality, and it is a tribute to the power of imagination that inspires Qui’s culinary musings.
In Atlanta, tucked into the stony St. Regis Hotel, Atlas is among five restaurants in the city to be honored with a Michelin star. Enhancing the enjoyment of Chef Freddy Money’s imaginative contemporary American cuisine, Atlas features art from the Lewis Collection, one of the most impressive private art collections in the world. The exhibit rotates regularly—pieces by Picasso, Van Gogh, and Chagall have appeared—and the restaurant currently showcases works by renowned Japanese-born painter and printmaker Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita. “Atlas elevates the dining experience by integrating art into its core identity,” said Greg Walker, Managing Director of Tavistock Restaurant Collection. He added, “The restaurant sets itself apart by seamlessly blending fine dining with a world-class art experience.”
The Peninsula is a Beverly Hills hotel acclaimed for its art collection, as well as its celebrity clientele. Its fine dining restaurant, The Belvedere, features contemporary artwork from Yayoi Kusama, Alex Katz, and Sean Scully. The dining room’s signature artistic statement is a multi-panel piece by French artist Fabienne Verdier, and an iconic Robert Indiana sculpture anchors the terrace. “As an artist brings a canvas to life with each brushstroke, we craft our dishes with the same precision and passion,” reported Executive Chef Ralf Schlegel, who added, “The art that adorns our walls serves as daily inspiration.”
In New York’s West Village, a neighborhood filled with art galleries, Chef/Owner Kurt Gutenbrunner presents classics from his native Austria at Wallsé, but contemporary elements enliven the menu. In addition to its highly respected cuisine, the restaurant showcases art from Hermann Nitsch, Julian Schnabel, and filmmaker Gus Van Sant. “It’s not just about food and wine, but the entire experience,” explained Gutenbrunner, evoking the German term gesamtkunstwerk (“total piece of art”) to illuminate the concept. Gutenbrunner reports the art that resonates with him has little to do with his Austrian cuisine or heritage. “It’s about personality more than nationality,” he quipped.

HOME COURT ADVANTAGE

Pickleball
peaks as the fastest-growing sport and these luxury homes are serving up aces with at-home courts.
Whatwe’reseeingin mostoftheLasVegas luxuryhomemarket are clubhouses convertingtheir tennis courts into pickleballcourts.”
JohnConnolly, RealEstateAgentwith BerkshireHathaway HomeServices NevadaProperties
In the Hamptons, pickleball games paired with après social activities are invitations that active residents sincerely appreciate. East Hampton homeowner Jen Shufro, along with her husband Greg, recently converted their tennis court into two pickleball courts. “Last year, after a skiing accident, I had no backhand for tennis, so I decided to take up pickleball and started inviting friends over to play,” Shufro recalled. “Now, we have so much demand to join our games that it’s become a huge social event for us.”
Stories such as this are becoming more common in the luxury realm, which helps explain pickleball’s unprecedented growth. In 2023, there were an estimated 48.3 million pickleball players in the United States, according to the Association of Pickleball Professionals. The Sports & Fitness Industry Association reports that participation in pickleball has increased by an average of 223.5% over the last three years.
For the Shufros, they’re making the most of their at-home court with women’s games on Mondays and Wednesdays, and weekly after-work men’s games followed by a friendly dinner. Sundays also bring couples together for pickleball and socializing. “When it was a tennis court, it was hard to get people over to play,” Shufro claimed, noting the prominent change after converting the courts. Over the last 18 months, Emmett Laffey at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, who markets luxury properties from Manhattan across Long Island’s North Shore to the Hamptons, has noticed more and more luxury clients building pickleball courts in place of tennis.
The sport is also gaining traction with a younger demographic; the Shufro’s two sons, both in their early 20s, also utilize the home courts with friends.
John and Montyne Connolly, Real Estate Agents with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties in Las Vegas, are avid pickleball enthusiasts. In addition to selling Las Vegas properties with pickleball as an amenity, the couple are IPTPA-certified as pickleball instructors, level one. “What we’re seeing in most of the Las Vegas luxury home market are clubhouses converting their tennis courts into pickleball courts,” noted John. Montyne agreed, “Homeowners with private courts are resurfacing them to play both tennis and pickleball, while buyers are looking for courts nearby or in private community courts within their subdivisions.”
Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas is also paying attention to the burgeoning sport. This active adult community, offering resort-style living and amenities, includes pickleball courts, a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, fitness center, bocce, outdoor resort and lap pools, spa, and walking trails—not a tennis court in sight.
Considering that four pickleball courts can fit on one regulation tennis court, the logistical side of the investment makes sense. Today, one former tennis court can accommodate up to 16 people playing doubles in a pickleball game. Talk about expanding your social group. New luxury communities in Las Vegas are adding pickleball over tennis courts to supply residents with an in-demand amenity and also battle space restrictions.

The serve is a crucial part of pickleball.
Seymour Rifkind, Founder and President of the World Pickleball Federation (WPF) and the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA), knows firsthand the sport’s growing popularity. “I travel extensively throughout the U.S. and the world, and I can corroborate that many of the most exclusive country clubs are adding pickleball courts.”
Heading to Massachusetts, Paul Grover, Co-Founder and Principal Broker of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties, reported that the sport is thriving. “Cape Cod has certainly felt the pickleball craze over the last few years. I have several clients who have added private courts to their properties.” Pickleball continues to attract luxury homebuyers. “This is most noticeable at resort communities and country clubs across Cape Cod, where pickleball courts have quickly become an expected amenity that helps draw homebuyers looking to embrace an active, outdoor lifestyle,” Grover said.
The Lakes Country Club in Palm Desert, California (about 12 miles east of Palm Springs), has an active pickleball program. When The Lakes undertook a major remodel, including its Racquet Center, they reduced three of the 15 tennis courts, replacing them with nine pickleball courts. “I see pickleball growing every year in every way,” said Donny Felich, Director of Racquet Sports at The Lakes Country Club. “We’re also seeing a younger demographic taking a liking to the game.” Play at The Lakes involves daily games, tournaments, and numerous social events.
The trend is also making an appearance in the high-end residential market in Atlanta, according to Ta’Tisha Gibbs, Vice President of Marketing, Luxury Collection, for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. “In the metro Atlanta area, the luxury home market is embracing the popularity of pickleball. Many high-end properties are incorporating pickleball courts as a desirable amenity,” said Gibbs. “This trend is driven by the growing interest in the sport among affluent buyers, who view it as a fun and social activity that complements their lifestyle,” she added, providing insight into the mindset of affluent Atlanta buyers.
In Naples, Florida, Amy Potter, Sales Associate at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty, reported, “Pickleball courts are in high demand. Communities are converting courts and lighting them so people can play late into the evening.”
In 2025, Naples will host the Minto U.S. Open Pickleball Championships. Last year, over 3,250 people competed in this international tournament, ranging in age from eight to 88. A strong turnout is expected—according to Pickleball Communities Florida, Naples has 35 luxury communities boasting courts to accommodate the growing interest.

The economics of pickleball make good sense. Ned Kaplan, Owner of Court Order, Inc., has 39 years of experience in tennis court construction and maintenance, as well as basketball, bocce, and pickleball courts around the Hamptons and across Long Island’s Nassau County. “In the last two to three years, I’ve been doing more tennis court to pickleball conversions,” he said. “I’ve done about 25 this year, so far.” According to Kaplan, building a new pickleball court costs around $35,000, which is about one-third less than the cost of constructing a tennis court.
In the last two to three years,I’vebeendoing more tennis court to pickleballconversions. I’ve done about 25 this year,sofar.”
NedKaplan, Owner of Court Order, Inc.
Pickleball’s popularity is evident and other fitness organizations are recognizing the importance of the physical aspects of the game. Club Pilates, with a network of over 600 studios nationwide, hosted a summer (indoor) “50-minute Pilates for Pickleball Workshop” in Palm Springs. The purpose was to improve your alignment, balance, stability, and rotation of the spine—all essential for your pickleball practice, according to Club Pilates.
Celebrities have also taken a liking to the now-famed sport. Actor Vince Vaughn recently became the new majority owner of the Palm Springs-based Coachella Valley Scorpions, a 50-and-over pro pickleball team. Coachella Valley is home to one of 12 teams in the National Pickleball League and pickleball courts are found throughout the area.

IN FOCUS
Welcome to Key West, Florida, the most southern point in the United States and about 90 air miles from Cuba. Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffet both called Key West home—and it’s easy to see why. Often referred to as “The Conch Republic,” Key West’s colorful collection of hotels, eclectic restaurants, lively music scene, and vibrant arts community create an unforgettable experience.
“Many visitors have turned into homeowners, often sharing heartwarming stories of coming here since they were kids,” noted Will Langley, Owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Keys Real Estate. “They experience the magic that transforms a visit into a lifelong love affair with our island chain.” Thirty years ago, David Grober, an Academy Award-winning Maritime Coordinator for film and television, came to Key West to work on ocean sequences and then purchased a condominium. “I decided I liked it here for many reasons, including the small-town feel, which Key West still has,” he said.
Dine
Choices abound in Key West’s dining scene. For a Gulf of Mexico dining experience, make a reservation at Latitudes at Sunset Key Cottages on Sunset Key. The Key West Pink Shrimp Carbonara is legendary. As a local,
By Ellen Paris
Langley recommends “a lowkey dinner or great lunch with fun entertainment in the courtyard” at Garbo’s Grill.
Stay
Casa Marina, Curio Collection by Hilton recently underwent a $79 million renovation. Listed on the National Register for Historic Places, this timeless landmark is home to Key West’s largest private beach. Visitors can enjoy curated water sports, five dining destinations, a spa, and two swimming pools.
Play
“The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is awesome,” Langley reported. A climate-controlled glass-enclosed habitat is home to 50 to 60 butterfly species. “If you have a full day, going to Dry Tortugas is a bucket list kind of thing by boat or seaplane.”
Relax
Locals confirm that Fort Zachary Taylor Beach is one of Key West’s finest destinations, where you can swim, snorkel, or relax on the white sand. Visitors should also indulge at The Spa at Sunset Key (a brief boat ride from Key West) at Sunset Sea Cottages. The Quenching Aloe Wrap or the Signature Bliss Journey treatments are a must for relaxation.

SMART STAYS
By Roger Grody
Technology not only makes hotel guests more comfortable but also allows greater control when customizing their experiences.
Many advances currently being promoted by residential developers—smart home technologies that control locks, lighting, and entertainment from the touch of a cell phone— are being more rapidly adopted by hotels. A suite of technologies, from using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict guest preferences to deploying super-fast Wi-Fi 6, are becoming standard in the hospitality industry. Some technologies increase efficiencies behind the scenes while others, such as contactless check-in and super-thin (“wallpaper”) TVs, enhance the guest experience.
Above: Twilight views of ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa.

A poll commissioned by Mews, a leading hospitality technology platform, reveals that increasing numbers of travelers favor advances like keyless entry and in-room smart tablets. For instance, more than 40% prefer to check in via a hotel’s website or app, and nearly 80% reported they would not object to a completely automated front desk. “The most innovative hotels are moving away from a room-centric vision of hospitality into one which embraces experiences,” said Mews Founder Richard Valtr. Suggesting technology seamlessly connects guests to their passions, he added, “We love it when hotels use technology to create immersive and truly remarkable guest experiences.” In response to the findings, Ryan Krukar, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Gravity Haus, a collection of membership lodges in the Rockies, said, “Technology empowers our customer service teams to create unique ‘excite and delight’ opportunities for guests, resulting in lifelong memories.”
Located in Orlando, Florida, the Lake Nona Wave Hotel is an exceptional example of technology-driven hospitality. The sleek, gently curved tower is wrapped in soothing blue glass that uses AI to dynamically adjust to sunlight, blocking unwanted ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Consistent with its emphasis on well-being, Lake Nona Wave’s 234 guestrooms feature voice-automated controls and restorative beds that improve sleep quality through AI-enabled functions tailored to each guest. The hotel is so tech-savvy that it once experimented with a robotic butler named Rosie—an homage to the automated housekeeper in the futuristic, 1960s Jetsons television series—that delivered cocktails to guests in the lobby.

We’ve streamlined ourcheck-inprocess to allow mobile room keysandoffertext communications leadinguptoand duringguests’stays, sotheyalwayshave first-classconcierge services.”
Jennifer Curtin, GeneralManager The Beatrice Providence, Rhode Island
The Wave app enables keyless check-in for guests who wish to skip the reception desk and head directly to their rooms. Providing information about hotel services and events, the app also controls room temperature, lighting, window curtains, and entertainment options. “Lake Nona Wave Hotel is continuously adding high-tech updates to maintain its reputation as one of the nation’s most technologically advanced hotels,” said Director of Sales and Marketing James Tattersall. “Travelers can also tap into the future by riding Beep, a network of autonomous vehicles, to dining destinations around the community,” he added. Addressing the reception to these advances, Tattersall reports, “Guests really value how technology is organically woven into their experience.”
Many technology-forward hotels are funky properties—Hotel Zetta in San Francisco and Yotel in New York are among them—that cater to a youthful clientele comfortable with digitized environments. However, high-end properties also participate in this movement to enhance operating efficiency and guest satisfaction. The Peninsula, one of the premier luxury brands in the world, has equipped its Tokyo hotel with technological advances that elevate comfort. For example, a guest can create the perfect mood through lighting and music, chat on a hands-free phone, or watch a steam-free flat-screen TV, all while luxuriating in one of The Peninsula’s signature spa-like deep-soaking tubs.
The Sinclair Hotel in downtown Fort Worth, Texas—the Art Deco landmark is part of Marriott’s distinctive Autograph Collection— uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to incorporate cutting-edge amenities like keyless entry, digital showers, and touchscreen mirrors into a 1930 structure that originally housed oil company offices. Another unlikely fusion of historic charm and technology is found at The Beatrice, a hotel whose 19th-century structure may not immediately scream modernity to passersby. A chic 46-room boutique property in Providence, Rhode Island, The Beatrice provides stateof-the-art ultraviolet air purification systems, keyless room entry, heated bidet toilets, and towel racks to complement the property’s traditional amenities. General Manager Jennifer Curtin reported that the hotel is
constantly seeking to innovate the guest experience. “We’ve streamlined our check-in process to allow mobile room keys and offer text communications leading up to and during guests’ stays, so they always have first-class concierge services,” said Curtin. The Beatrice’s “Be Rested” package includes Therabody SmartGoggles that provide personalized sleep-enhancing experiences.
The Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas allows express check-in from one’s cell phone— avoiding the city’s notoriously long reception lines is a blessing—and provides smart tablets in every room. From the tablet, a guest can schedule room service, spa treatments, or show tickets and, in theory, one day be alerted to when a seat at a particular blackjack table becomes available. The device currently allows guests to sync a morning alarm with the opening of curtains, as well as regulate room temperature or adjust evening mood lighting to complement views of the Strip.
A short stroll from Seattle’s Pike Place Market is Hotel 1000, where technology is fully embedded in the guest experience. Infrared presence-sensing technology alerts housekeeping when guests have left their rooms, eliminating interruptions, and visitors can digitally connect to hotel services. After a day of sightseeing or business meetings, guests can go online to book an in-room spa experience. A “spa butler” then prepares an indulgent bath—with optional champagne and caviar—or arranges a massage at the hotel’s full-service spa.

UNRAVELING MODERN RUG TRENDS
By Marlene Ridgway
A standard addition to any room, rugs are functional and fashionable in luxury homes. Here’s what’s on the horizon in terms of materials, color palettes, textures, and more.
More than just a practical piece, rugs are yet another statement of style in the home, with individual personality, and an emphasis on sustainability. This year, high-end brands are unveiling collections that are as innovative as they are beautiful, offering a tread-boldly outlook on luxury home decor.
Embracing Earthy Tones and Organic Materials
The Rise of Round Rugs and Playful Whimsy
Experts are also embracing whimsical shapes and playful designs this year. Round rugs are making a big comeback, breaking away from the traditional rectangular format. These circular designs bring a sense of movement and softness to a room, making them perfect for adding a unique touch to living rooms, bedrooms, and even dining areas.
Fasciani shared her insights on how texture and shape are defining luxury rugs at STARK. “We’re seeing growth in the types of materials being used, such as metal threads combined with silk, creating a striking visual and tactile contrast.” The introduction of metal is unexpected in rugs and certainly turns heads. “Our Missoni Deep Stripe and STARK Kamaria rugs exemplify this trend, pairing metallic elements with soft textures for a luxurious yet playful effect,” added Fasciani.
Classic Patterns, Reimagined
We’reseeinggrowthin thetypesofmaterials beingused,such as metal threads combined with silk, creatingastriking visual and tactile contrast.”
Rachel Fasciani, BrandMarketingSpecialist at STARK
One of the most prominent trends in rugs has been the shift towards earthy tones and natural materials. Filipa Mendonça, a Product Designer at Caffe Latte Home, spoke to what the industry has seen over the past year. “We saw a blend of comfort, innovation, and sustainability in rug trends,” she said. “This year, the focus on sustainability has deepened, with a surge in the use of organic fibers like jute, bamboo silk, and organic cotton.” These natural materials not only contribute to an eco-friendly home, but also bring a warm, grounded feel to any space.
The color palettes of these rugs mirror their natural origins. Expect to see an array of browns, beiges, and grays dominating the scene, offering a versatile foundation for any room. However, this year’s collections are far from monotonous. Mendonça believes jewel tones like deep blues, emerald greens, and rich burgundies are being used as vibrant accents, creating a dynamic contrast that is both luxurious and inviting. Rachel Fasciani, Brand Marketing Specialist at STARK, agrees, adding, “We’re seeing a strong preference for warm beiges, soft grays, and earthy tones, punctuated by bold colors like deep indigo and terracotta.”
While innovation drives much of the design industry, there is also a resurgence of classic patterns, albeit with a modern twist. Traditional motifs are being reimagined in contemporary color schemes, merging the old with the new. STARK’s Antique Reimagined collection is a prime example, offering timeless designs, such as vintage Persian and Moroccan elements in updated hues that feel fresh yet familiar.
The concept is also apparent in the Eichholtz Evans Rug offered by Sweetpea & Willows. Traditional colors such as black and beige are perfectly paired with geometric shapes. Yet the piece has an overall modern feel with plush textures and clean lines.
Customization and Personalization
In an era where individuality reigns supreme, the demand for bespoke rugs is at an all-time high. Both Caffe Latte and STARK representatives call attention to the importance of personalization in upcoming collections. “Consumers are increasingly seeking unique pieces that reflect their style and preferences,” said Mendonça. STARK echoes this sentiment, noting that their bespoke offerings allow clients to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful.

PARK CITY PARADISE
By Emily Jaeger
Dine
At Yuta, located in The Lodge At Blue Sky, guests savor sumptuous dishes crafted from hyperlocal ingredients, according to Mullin. Named after the Ute Tribe’s term for “mountain top,” Yuta offers a culinary experience that blends Utah’s diverse cultural heritage, including influences from Uto-Aztecan Native Americans, Eastern European settlers, and Chinese immigrants. Yuta’s menu features exquisite dishes like hiramasa crudo and elk chop.
Play
Why should you book a trip to Park City, Utah?
“It’s the best skiing there is on the planet, quite literally,” said Matt Mullin with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties. For powderhounds, the world-class slopes alone are enough to entice. Yet, as Mullin revealed, Park City is more than just a skier’s paradise. With nearly 30 local art galleries, awardwinning luxury resorts, as well as cuisine and spas inspired by a fusion of Western and Ute Tribe culture, Park City offers an opulent adventure, both on and off the mountain.
Stay
The Goldener Hirsch, named the No. 1 Resort Hotel in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure, combines a charming Bavarian-inspired inn with sleek modern residences designed by awardwinning architect Tom Kundig. Nestled midmountain at Deer Valley Resort, “It’s just steps from the ski lifts and offers immediate access to nearly 70 miles of mountain biking trails and Park City’s 400-mile trail system,” said Mullin.
“Deer Valley, the world’s number one ski resort, is set to double its skiable terrain over the next two ski seasons,” said Mullin. Adding over 3,700 acres and 16 new lifts, Deer Valley will soon be one of North America’s largest ski resorts. Already the gold standard in skiing, Mullin noted that it offers superior customer service, impeccable snow grooming, and exclusive ski-only luxury. Guests can also hone their technique during exclusive half- and full-day training with Olympic snowsport athletes in residence.
Relax
For ultimate relaxation in Park City, Mullin recommended spending the day at Spa Montage Deer Valley. This alpine sanctuary provides rejuvenating treatments that harness the natural power of the mountain environment. The spa’s customized therapies, designed by highly trained therapists, address individual needs and promote deep relaxation after a day on the slopes or a long day of activities.

LAVISH LAKE MAGGIORE LUXURY
By Emily Jaeger
With its idyllic setting, this scenic location has become a coveted destination for luxury real estate buyers seeking summer homes, investment properties, and year-round residences.
Theluxuryvillas, especiallythosewith lakefront views, are verypopular,aswell asluxuryapartments andpenthouses withstunninglake views and modern comforts.”

Marina Rizzotto, Founder and CEO of BerkshireHathaway HomeServices
Palazzo Estate
Nestled between Italy and Switzerland, Lake Maggiore is a gem of romantic allure and natural beauty. This exquisite region, renowned for its dramatic alpine vistas and charming towns adorned with FrenchItalian architecture, enjoys a mild climate year round that attracts both permanent residents and visitors. Here, one can find historic villas exuding timeless elegance alongside ultra-modern estates inspired by the latest Milanese designs.
Dr. Marina Rizzotto, Founder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate, has called Italy home for nearly 25 years and established her company in 2010. With a Ph.D. in International Economics, she brings a unique blend of market perspectives and economic expertise to the high-end real estate sector, complemented by an extensive network and a profound understanding of the Italian luxury market and what makes this area so desirable.
“Lake Maggiore is one of the most romantic and beautiful lakes in Italy,” said Rizzotto. “It is a popular destination for buyers because of its stunning natural beauty, mild climate, and rich cultural and historical attractions.” The lake hosts an array of water activities, including wakeboarding, windsurfing and yachting. Residents can enjoy hiking the Alps that surround the lake or wandering through the cobblestone streets and outdoor markets of charming lakeside towns like Stresa, Verbania, and Ascona. Dotted with elegant villas and verdant gardens, these towns offer a picturesque and serene lifestyle with ample room for adventure.
The lake also boasts some of the most enchanting architecture and gardens in the region, particularly on the Borromean Islands. Many of these islands remain in the hands of the original families who acquired them in the 16th and 17th centuries. The islands’ captivating beauty reflects a rich history of aristocratic grandeur. Isola Bella is distinguished by its baroque palazzo and terraced lakefront gardens, inhabited by white peacocks. Meanwhile, the lush and serene Isola Madre exudes an exotic ambiance, with its gardens of rare plants enveloping the entire island.
The region seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary luxury living while offering an array of world-class amenities. Stresa is home to Michelin-starred cuisine and opulent waterfront hotels, such as the Grand Hôtel des Iles Borromées. Illustrious restaurants like Ristorante Lo Stornello and Osteria Mercato elevate local ingredients with farm-fresh, seasonal offerings, allowing you to indulge in exquisite seafood and Mediterranean produce harmoniously blended with the warmth of Swiss cuisine, including fine cheeses, chestnuts, and artisanal sausages.
When it comes to high-demand luxury properties in the region, Rizzotto shared that buyers are extremely motivated by lakefront properties and views. She has seen owners who invested in properties turn a significant profit on resale, which, after five years of ownership, is not taxed according to Italian law. “Properties with private docks or beach access are particularly desirable. The luxury villas, especially those with lakefront views, are very popular, as well as luxury apartments and penthouses with stunning lake views and modern comforts,” noted Rizzotto.
