Lake Como ~
Milan 2014

Grand Hotel Tremezzo
• I just returned from a business meeting in Lake Como in late
September; what a wonderful time of year to go! The weather
was still very warm, but the crowds were gone and the area felt
magical. I stayed at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, an amazing
family-run hotel. I thought it was perfect: the service was
impeccable, the rooms were renovated and the food was
excellent.
• All of this was accomplished in a very relaxed, fun, younger
vibe. I would highly recommend this hotel in Lake Como, and
depending on the ambiance you desire, in certain ways this
property can be an alternative to the famous Villa d’Este.

Explore Lake Como via boat
• During my free time, I explored the lake on a very
sexy wooden speed boat, then visited the town of
Bellagio for some shopping, and had lunch at the
Iconic restaurant Locanda del Isola Comacina, which
is on the island in the middle of the lake and has
been serving the same menu since 1945. It’s a long
pre-fixe lunch, but an experience all should have at
least once.
Milan
• On my departure, I spent one night in Milan at the
Park Hyatt. It still feels fresh and impressive, and is
in a perfect location near La Scala, the Duomo and
shopping. The restaurant renovation is complete and
the bar is currently being redone, but the hotel is
looking great and I would still highly recommend it.
Ask me about some great trendy spots I discovered
for lunches and dinners.

Delta and Emirates Airlines were both
amazing, as service and product were
both top shelf.
