"Picture this: You wake up in a perfectly plush bed in the posh Grand Hotel Tremezzo. You open the shutters, gaze out onto the glittering turquoise waters of Lake Como, and spot a retro wooden boat framed by mountains dotted with quaint yellow buildings. Could things get any better? The answer is yes, because then you can head down to the main floor of the hotel — in a bathrobe and PJs if you like — and make your way to what is possibly the most spectacular breakfast buffet on earth. This isn’t your typical hotel buffet. The buffet is situated in a grand room with high ceilings, gorgeous moldings, and fabulous wallpaper — it could easily double as a ballroom or a set from the latest installment of the White Lotus. In the middle of the room, there are a handful of mirrored tables arranged in a rectangle, sparkling like the most opulent trays you’ve ever seen. In the middle of the rectangle, you’ll find the hotel staff who, once you’ve done a lap and figured out your food game plan, will help serve everything for you. Oh, you thought you’d serve yourself? No, no. Courtesy of Grand Hotel Tremezzo." - Sam Gutierrez
