Hotel consulting on Lake Como
On Lake Como the chances to open are rare and contested. If you have a villa, a hotel or a project on the lake, we work to make that chance pay.
What Lake Como asks of a hotel.
Historic villas, a narrow shoreline, strong international demand in summer. Guests look for privacy and a personal service, and the short season asks you to make the most of the good months.
Historic villas
Conversions have to reconcile old buildings and modern services.
A short season
A few months of high demand: rate, occupancy and staff have to be planned together.
Weddings and events
A large part of revenue comes from private events, with an organisation of their own.
Milan nearby
The lake is an hour from Milan: weekends and short stays weigh on demand.
How we work on Lake Como.
Three ways to work with us, from Milan and on site when it's needed. The price is written down before we start.
Profit Performance
For a hotel that is already open: the distance between what it produces today and what it could produce. It starts with the first free analysis; the diagnostic starts from €1,500.
Staff training
One person at a time, at the property during service or online, on the situations of their own shift. From €275 per person.
Feasibility studies
For a project that doesn't exist yet: whether it earns, and on what conditions, before the money is spent. From the €499 market assessment to the full study.
Before we start.

How do you follow a hotel or a project on Lake Como from Milan?
The work is led from Milan, with online sessions on fixed dates and written deliverables. We travel for the steps where being there changes the result: a site visit, a meeting with the owners, a negotiation with an operator. We reply within one business day.
Where do we start?
With the first free analysis: an hour online with a senior consultant, on what you need to decide. If the hotel is open, we look at where it is losing revenue; if the project is still to be built, at which level of study is enough to answer.
