You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como''' is a 5 star luxury resort located in [[Blevio]] in the province of [[Como]], Italy. The estate is also known formerly as ''CastaDiva'' before its refurbishment in the late 2010s and subsequent transferral of ownership to its current owner, Hong Kong-based multinational chain [[Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group]]. <ref name=comoanditslake>((cite web|url=https://www.comoanditslake.com/villaroccabruna.htm|title=Villa Roccabruna in Blevio|accessdate=10 December 2022))</ref><ref name=MOfactsheet>((cite web|url=https://photos.mandarinoriental.com/is/content/MandarinOriental/lake-como-fact-sheet|title=Mandarin Oriental, Lago Di Como Factsheet|accessdate=10 December 2022))</ref> The heart of the entire resort consists of the Villa Roccabruna, which was notably where composer [[Vincenzo Bellini]] wrote his two most famous works: ''[[La Sonnambula]]'' and ''[[Norma (opera)|Norma]]''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.luxurytravelmagazine.com/property/casta-diva-resort-lake-como-italy-luxury-hotel.php|title=Europe Luxury Hotels & Resorts: CastaDiva Resort - Lake Como, Italy - 5 Star Luxury Hotel|year=2011|accessdate=1 November 2011))</ref> 

== History ==
Roccabruna Villa was built in the eighteenth century on the shores of [[Lake Como]] in the village of Blevio and was later restored by the opera singer [[Giuditta Pasta]]. The renovations were carried out between 1827 and 1829 by architect Philip Ferranti.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/percorsi/ville-como/4.1/|title=Blevio, Villa Pasta e Villa Roccabruna|year=2011|language=Italian|accessdate=1 November 2011))</ref>

In the 19th century, the villa was known as "Casino Ribiere" from the name of the [[French people|French]] owner, Ms. Ribier, a famous tailor and designer among Milanese [[Aristocracy|aristocrats]].<ref name=comoanditslake/> The house was a meeting place for artists and musicians in contemporary Italy. Chronicles report that composer [[Gaetano Donizetti]] composed the [[Opera|tragic oper]] ''[[Anna Bolena]]'' during his residence in 1829. <ref>((cite web|url=http://www.castadivaresort.com/it/hotel/storia|title=Storia|author=official Site|year= 2011|language= Italian|accessdate=1 November 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110909090817/http://www.castadivaresort.com/it/hotel/storia|archivedate=2011-09-09))</ref> In 1827, the property was purchased by Italian opera singer [[Giuditta Pasta]] and renovated by her maternal uncle, architect Filippo Ferranti. Under Pasta's ownership, the property was nicknamed "Villa Roda" and expanded into a [[Neoclassical architecture|neo-classical]] manor with large garden areas and guesthouse outbuildings.

==Present day==
The property was purchased by the Wild Family and the current structure of Villa Roccabruna was remodelled at the beginning of the 20th century. Throughout the second half of the 1900s, the estate had fluctuating periods, the end of which was almost ruin. The villa has since then been newly renovated and houses the CastaDiva Resort & Spa, which has 75 rooms, 2 restaurants, 4 conference rooms and a spa of ((convert|1330|sqm|sqft)), under supervision of entrepreneur Gabriele Zerbi.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.castadivaresort.com/ |title=CastaDiva |access-date=2011-11-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111124041138/http://www.castadivaresort.com/ |archive-date=2011-11-24 |url-status=dead ))</ref> The resort is named after the most famous aria from Norma, ''Casta Diva''.

In 2014 ''Top Gear'' [[Top Gear (series 21)#ep2|Series 21 Episode 02]] was also filmed at the hotel. The CastaDiva Resort & Spa has been acquired by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group in 2018, with the property re-opened under new management in Spring 2019.<ref>((Cite web| url=https://www.informacibo.it/casta-diva-di-blevio-diventa-resort-mandarin-oriental-lake-como/|title=CastaDiva di blevio diventa resort Mandarin Oriental Lake Como|work=www.informacibo.it|access-date=20 March 2020))</ref> 

==Features <ref name=MOfactsheet/>==
