Villa Lario, located on the border with Lierna, with its view of Bellagio surrounded by the mountains of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, is considered one of the most exclusive hotels in the world. Villa Lario was a villa of a noble family that, after adding annexes and undergoing major renovations, was transformed into an exclusive boutique hotel.

The Villa Lario resort has a heliport, and docking for boats and seaplanes.

In the hotel there is the Italian Chef Enrico Derflingher (2 Michelin stars), former Chef at the White House for George Bush Senior and at Buckingham palace for the Queen Elizabeth of England and Prince Charles of Wales.

Villa Lario is located outside the old center of Mandello del Lario and near Lierna in the Lake Centre (Italian: Centro-Lago di Como), which encompasses the most important and luxurious area of Lake Como. This region is known for its unique position at the intersection of the three branches of the lake, forming a "Y-shape" with Bellagio at the center. It includes the "Borgo" ancient villages extending from Lierna to Sala Comacina in the south, and from Menaggio to Varenna in the north. Prominent towns in this area include Bellagio, Lierna, Fiumelatte, Varenna, Menaggio, Olcio, Limonta, Vergonese, San Giovanni (Bellagio), Cadenabbia, Perledo, Sala Comacina, Lenno, Azzano, Griante, Visgnola, Ossuccio, Tremezzina, and Tremezzo.
