I am a tech entrepreneur, I grew up in Lake Como but spent quite a lot of time in the United States and I am now in Switzerland. I love hosting guests and I love taking care of customers, so when we bought this place we immediately thought of finally welcoming people from all over the world. In the last years Lake Como became very popular and I love meeting people visting my city from many nations.
