    ⠀…and some more.

P.S. Before we get into all of it, I’ve got an idea. Let me know what you think below.

🌡️ Temperature Check

I’ve built my entire career in tech. It’s powerful, fast, and incredible for growth. But lately, I’ve found myself craving something...slower. Inspiring. Real. Tangible.

I guess it's a result of AI, infinite scrolling, and growing digital fakeness. It got me wondering: what if we went analog for a minute?

What if we had a quarterly "Lake Como Post Club"? Every three months, I’d send a curated mail to your physical mailbox containing:

  • 🎨 A Lake Como inspired collectible by an artist.
  • ✨ A personal, local story from the lake.
  • 🎟️ Exclusive invites to events, list of secret spots, local business perks - whatever I can find.

No algorithms. No screens. Just a genuine piece of the lake arriving at your doorstep, once a quarter. 💌

Photo: Nuvole Garden

What's Happening:

Winter calm is officially over next week. March is when the majority of the top Lake Como hotels (re)open their doors.

Dates:

  • Lake Como EDITION: March 10th

  • Villa d’Este: March 17th

  • Grand Hotel Victoria: March 19

  • Il Sereno: March 19

  • Villa Serbelonni: March 20

  • Nuvole Garden: March 20

  • Grand Hotel Tremezzo: March 20

What does it mean for us:

  • Lake Como EDITION opens without an official event, but the bar and restaurant with their Michelin-starred chef are officially opening as well.

  • Nuvole Garden is opening with the spa, but keep in mind that the Como funiculare is closed till March 31st.

  • All of these hotels will be bringing in a 5-star hotel crowd. Are we ready?

What's your take? Are we missing anything important?

⭐ In Case You Missed It

Openings

  • 🏨 EDITION Pricing Alert. The Lake Como EDITION is now on Marriott Bonvoy, but with bonus points starting at 79,000 per night, demand is high.

  • 🍽️ Michelin Star Arrival. Three-Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco is bringing his new restaurant to the lake, which will set a new high bar for local dining. Opening this month.

  • 🌿 Bellagio Residency Call. The Rockefeller Foundation is now looking for applicants for its 2027 Bellagio Center program, a top opportunity for global creators to work by the lake.

🏗️ Local Projects & Life

  • Yacht Club Evicted. The City of Como has ended the Yacht Club's lease. A little Italian drama is continuing, since the owners are not giving in.

  • Historic Cup Run. Como 1907 is in the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the first time in 40 years and is preparing for a huge match against Inter Milan.

  • 👕 Como x Rhude x Adidas. The club released a new limited-edition jersey that mixes local lake style with Los Angeles street fashion.
