On the banks of Italy’s Lake Como, tucked into an expansive, serene garden, the brand-new CastaDiva Resort promises to delight guests with stylish accommodations in a collection of distinctive mansions with names inspired by operatic heroines, from "Violetta" to "Leonora."

From a majestic pool floating right over the lake, to charming garden paths wending past little brooks, to a spa evoking the elements of water, earth, fire and air, CastaDiva provides world-class renewal to a privileged few.
