Every aspect of the hotel, from its private boats to its fit-out and furnishings, has been custom-designed to complement the location’s stunning natural environment. A private jetty connects the lake with the hotel complex, which is set against the backdrop of the Italian Alps. The outdoor area of Il Sereno features vertical botanical gardens, and the restaurant adjoining the gardens is open on one side, while the flooring design creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

For the outdoor floorings, Urquiola used thermo-treated FSC-certified ash decking custom-created by DOMOTEX exhibitor Ravaioli Legnami and installed in cooperation with the company Pavilegno. The decking planks are very narrow and have a special concealed milling – characteristics that create a vibrant and unique visual aesthetic.
