Querido Hotels

We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to the Querido Collection, The Belvedere Hotel, located in the heart of Mykonos, Greece. Situated at the edge of Mykonos Town, the Belvedere Hotel has been family-owned for over 100 years and effortlessly fuses heritage with timeless luxury. Once a private villa, it now offers breathtaking views of the sunset, the iconic whitewashed town, and the Aegean Sea. Just steps away from the vibrant Matogianni promenade, the hotel’s prime location allows guests to experience downtown Mykonos’s lively energy 💙 Read more https://lnkd.in/gYGSNwV8

Hearing the bells of a distant church chime as a boatman rows her across the placid waters of Lake Como, Gina, one of the characters of Stendhal’s novel The Charterhouse of Parma, has a sudden revelation. “Don’t resist the happiness that is coming to meet you!”, she imagines the bells whispering to her. “Make haste to enjoy it!”.⁠⁠

"I headed down through the newly refurbished part of the tunnel, which has been scrubbed up and atmospherically lit by gold wall lanterns with cut-outs of Passalacqua's motif of three little fishes — the original family crest". It felt exotic and secretive. At the end was a door on to the 20-metre pool. I climbed in gratefully, and spent a good 10 minutes lazily meandering from one end to the other as the sun shone through the panes, bringing out the greeny blue shades of stone used for the custom-made Palladiana mosaic lining. It was the perfect counter to the cool lake."⁠ ⁠ From the recent article "Postcard from Lake Como: why the world's best hotel is going undergound" by Rebecca Rose on Financial Times.⁠
