Photo story: a day at Lake Como with Karen Mok
Taking in the streets and shops of Bellagio, gliding through the water on a private boat trip, mixing up a ‘Moktail’ and watching the sun set over the mountains – here’s a day in the life of Karen Mok at Lake Como
Breakfast is served
Starting the day the Italian way with a cappuccino and breakfast before discovering the hotel’s beautiful décor and views.
All aboard
After a quick change, it’s time for a private boat ride to enjoy the lake’s famous sights.
Scene setting
Cruising past the iconic Villa del Balbianello, whose original monastery towers have been the backdrop for films such as Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale.
Bella Bellagio
Strolling the quiet, cobbled Salita Serbelloni – a stepped street that climbs up from Bellagio’s harbour and is dotted with cute cafés and wine shops.
Lunch alfresco
In the gorgeous villa grounds of the hotel, the pizza oven is fired up ready for a light lunch of crisp Italian pizza topped with fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.
Evening excitement
Ready for an evening of fun experiences at the hotel, starting with a trip to CO.MO Bar & Bistrot.
Cocktail masterclass
Learning how to shake my very own signature cocktail – a ‘Moktail’ – with the bar’s master mixologists before dinner at L˜ARIA.
Sunset on Lake Como
The perfect end to a fabulous day on the lake – watching the sun set behind the mountains and the orange glow illuminating the water.
