The morning mist lifts slowly from Lake Como's emerald waters, revealing cypress groves that have witnessed centuries of elegance. Along the eastern shore in Blevio, where ancient villas whisper stories of nobility and artistry, stands a place where modern luxury honors timeless tradition—theMandarin Oriental Lago di Como.
This isn't simply another five-star destination. It's a sanctuary where each detail invites you to breathe deeply, to slow down, to rediscover what authentic luxury truly means.
Thehistoric villa that houses today's Mandarin Oriental carries within its walls an extraordinary legacy. Once home to opera legendGiuditta Pasta in the 19th century, this architectural gem has transformed into something even more remarkable—a luxury resort that preserves heritage while embracing contemporary sophistication.
Walking through its grounds feels like stepping into a living painting. Century-old botanical gardens surround you with the fragrance of camellias and the rustle of cypress leaves. Frescoed ceilings tell silent stories of aristocratic gatherings, while marble corridors echo with the whispers of countless love letters and artistic inspirations.
The resort's crown jewel is undoubtedly its40-meter infinity pool, designed by the renowned architectural duoHerzog & De Meuron. This floating masterpiece, crafted with distinctiveCardoso stone, seems to dissolve seamlessly into Lake Como's waters—creating an illusion so perfect that guests often pause mid-stroke, uncertain where the pool ends and the lake begins.
L'ARIA restaurant adds another layer of magic to this lakeside haven. Under the guidance of Michelin-starred chefs, each dish becomes a celebration of Italian culinary heritage, reimagined through contemporary techniques. Picture yourself savoring risotto alle erbe while watching sailboats drift across Como's mirror-like surface, the Alps creating a dramatic backdrop that changes color with the shifting light.
Theaward-winning spa completes this trifecta of excellence, offering treatments that draw inspiration from the surrounding natural beauty. Ancient wellness traditions blend with cutting-edge techniques, creating experiences that rejuvenate both body and spirit.

In Berlin, we discovered a city where design and history engage in elegant conversation. Our first day began at the Neue Nationalgalerie, where minimalist architecture mirrored our design philosophy, before exploring KaDeWe's curated luxury offerings. Day two led us through East Berlin's cultural heritage at Kulturbrauerei, followed by independent boutiques in Mitte. Throughout, our versatile black cotton canvas crossbody proved the perfect companion. Our final stop at Charlottenburger Tor flea market, where we once found an exquisite bronze statue, reinforced Berlin's unique blend of historical reverence and contemporary innovation that continually inspires our approach to design.
