From Kit Kemp’s joyful hotel creations to vintage finds and scones stacked on silver trays, this trip was a full-on feast for the design-loving senses.

Lake Garda may not have Como’s fame, but it just might win you over with its cliffside drives, lemon-scented history, and surprisingly good vegan gelato. From Salò to Limone, we discovered one night wasn’t nearly enough.
