R Collection Hotels, a family-owned Italian luxury hotel group, has announced the addition of Bianca Relais to its portfolio of five-star properties. Nestled on the shores of Lake Annone near the Prealps, the newly acquired boutique hotel offers a serene retreat surrounded by nearly four acres of olive groves, fruit trees, and lush greenery.
The 10-room property combines modern luxury with natural charm. Each room features floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing stunning lake views, artisanal furnishings, and eco-friendly materials. Guests can enjoy state-of-the-art technology, personal steam baths by Starpool, and hydromassage tubs on private balconies in the three suites.
For relaxation, the on-site Erre Spa provides a range of amenities, including a hammam, sauna, Himalayan-salt wall, outdoor whirlpool, and hydrotherapy circuit. Yoga and stretching classes are also available for those seeking wellness activities.
Dining at Bianca Relais is a highlight, with the Bianca sul Lago Restaurant offering authentic Italian cuisine under the guidance of chef Alessandro Cannalire. The menu features locally sourced ingredients, including produce from the hotel’s own garden. For casual bites and drinks, Drop, the all-day lounge bar, serves breakfast and cocktails with picturesque views of the lake.
The hotel caters to adventure enthusiasts with a variety of activities. Guests can explore the area with a three-hour bike tour, kayak on Lake Annone, or paraglide over nearby Lake Como. Horseback riding along the lake or mountains, hiking from Lecco to the panoramic Pian Sciresa terrace, and golfing are also popular options. For a touch of luxury, private boat and helicopter excursions are available, along with guided walking tours of Milan.
Conveniently located just over an hour from Milan, Bianca Relais is an ideal destination for travelers seeking a blend of relaxation, adventure, and fine dining in a luxurious setting.
