Italy

Light and mountain silhouettes ripple across the surface of Lake Como, and The Lake Como EDITION emerges like a contemporary sculpture set between water and sky. In Cadenabbia, this reimagined historic property channels EDITION’s refined modernism into a setting long associated with aristocratic retreats and cinematic glamour. Renaissance echoes meet clean architectural lines, allowing the lake to permeate every space, not merely as a view, but as a living presence. Guest rooms and suites unfold in a palette of natural textures, muted tones, and bespoke furnishings, where expansive windows frame shifting hues of blue and green. Select terraces and balconies extend the experience outdoors, inviting morning mist, moonlit reflections, and alpine air to become part of the stay. Throughout, light is treated as a design element in its own right, creating an atmosphere that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Dining deepens the sense of place with layered culinary narratives that mirror the landscape. At Cetino, Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco makes his Italian debut, crafting a menu rooted in local terroir and seasonality while weaving in his signature circular gastronomy philosophy. Each dish pays homage to the region’s produce and lake heritage, rendered with technical finesse and poetic restraint. Renzo, the all-day restaurant, captures a more relaxed rhythm, its lakeside terrace dappled with citrus trees and gentle breezes, serving nourishing breakfasts, leisurely lunches, and aperitivo moments that celebrate the convivial spirit of Italian shared dining. By the water, The Pool offers Mediterranean-inspired light fare and refreshing cocktails beneath the sun, while the vaulted Lobby Bar transitions seamlessly from afternoon elegance to evening refinement, pairing classic mixology with architectural drama. Together, these venues create a fluid dialogue between flavor, setting, and atmosphere, an immersive lakeside dining experience for travelers who seek depth as much as beauty.
