This 1892 art nouveau villa hotel, named for the Italian publishing family that used to vacation here, is immersed in private gardens and faces the lake. Meticulously restored, it has frescoed ceilings, wood paneling, and original tile floors. The rooms are spacious and equipped with every luxury (as befits the final bill). If you can afford it, take the tower room. There's an extensive library open to guests.
