The Lake Como EDITION
Opening 10 March 2026 – Cadenabbia, Lake Como
Set along one of the most cinematic shorelines in the world, The Lake Como EDITION is poised to become one of Italy’s most anticipated luxury debuts. This five‑star retreat occupies a sweeping 18,827 sqm lakeside estate in Cadenabbia, directly facing the iconic village of Bellagio.

Dining will be a major highlight, led by Chef Mauro Colagreco, whose culinary vision spans four distinct venues—from refined lakefront dining to relaxed, ingredient‑driven spaces that celebrate northern Italian flavors.
Wellness seekers will find a destination in itself:
- A Longevity Spa inspired by modern well‑being rituals

- A dramatic floating outdoor pool suspended over the lake
- An indoor heated pool, cold plunge, and herbal sauna
