I linger over hundreds of hotels every week and briefly highlight one on Fridays
Every time Succession brings up Mattson, I think about him hanging out in his Lake Como villa. Though the actual location is Villa La Cassinella
, my mind sees Passalacqua.Located about 20 minutes away from Mattson, Passalacqua is a 24-suite luxury hotel in the Grand Tour style, with overly opulent interiors overlooking a clay tennis court, manicured hedges, and the third-largest lake in Italy. It is the younger sibling of Grand Hotel Tremezzo, which recently won the “Best Hotelier” award from the DUCO Italy hotel conference.
Passalacqua has a limited partnership with IHG Hotels: “IHG One Rewards members may earn and redeem their points at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels; however, because these are not IHG branded hotels, other IHG One Rewards benefits will not be available.”
*That’s the plan, at least. Everything here is subject to testing. But if you like this idea, please let me know. My linktr.ee has multiple ways for you to get in touch with me.
You can rent Lukas Mattson’s Lake Como house from Succession on VRBO for around $22,000 per night.
