It came as no surprise to me that Villa D'Este was voted the number one hotel in the world in 2009! I last stayed here 19 years ago with my mother. It was fantastic then, and is fantastic now! Everything is superb with this hotel. From the friendly check in staff, to the pro valet, to the professional wait staff,... more
