R Collection Hotels, a family-owned hotel portfolio from Italy, is expanding its stable of luxury five-star hotels with the acquisition of the Bianca Relais.
Located on the banks of Lake Annone and bordering the Pre-Alps, the 10-room property is set on nearly four acres, amid olive and fruit trees and a green park.
Accommodations feature floor-to-ceiling windows with lake views, artisanal furnishings, natural materials and up-to-date technology.
Guestrooms are equipped with personal steam baths by Starpool, and the three suites also feature hydromassage tubs on private balconies.
The Erre Spa offers a hammam, a sauna, a Himalayan-salt wall, an outdoor whirlpool tub and a hydrotherapy circuit. It also offers yoga and stretching classes.
The Bianca sul Lago Restaurant, overseen by chef Alessandro Cannalire, serves authentic Italian cuisine in a fine dining setting, using local ingredients and produce from the on-property garden.
Drop, Bianca's all-day lounge bar, serves breakfast and cocktails overlooking the water.
Activities include a three-hour bike tour and kayaking on Lake Annone, paragliding over Lake Como, horseback riding along the lake or mountains and hiking from the center of Lecco to the panoramic terrace of Pian Sciresa via Monte Barro.
Additional experiences include a day of golf, a guided walking tour of Milan and private boat and helicopter excursions.
The property is located just over an hour from Milan.
