How much does a billionaire spend on a holiday on Lake Como? The report from the program “E’ semper Cartabianca” hosted by Bianca Berlinguer on Rete4 offered a series of concrete examples, complete with figures. Here you can find the full video.
Some figures: at the five-star hotel Il Sereno in Torno, for example, a suite with a lake view can range between 6 thousand euros in the low season and 9 thousand euros in the high season. A motorboat at exclusive disposal for a week can cost 30 thousand euros (but there are those who have spent even double that), while another gem for more than generous wallets is certainly a seaplane flight to drink a coffee and do a little ‘ shopping in Saint Moritz, perhaps after a nude swim in the middle of the Lario (an episode that actually happened, as Cesare Baj, pilot and historical figure of the Aero Club Como, recounted, revealing the request of two very important executives of a multinational).
But the choice is vast, of course. And there is rarely a lack – whether or not you are the owner of a VIP villa which can range from 20 to 60 million euros – an air or water tour of the stars’ villas and a dinner at a starred restaurant costing 400 euros each with a menu tasting, perhaps washed down with a rare champagne costing 2,800 euros per bottle.
“The richest people in the world come here because they fall in love with the panorama of Lake Como – was the comment by Andrea Tosa of Vaba Boats Como – The first thing they ask? A glass of champagne.”
