Alessio studied in the US, UK and at the highly respected Swiss École Hôtelière de Lausanne.

His hospitality career commenced at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris and has taken him to Italy, Monaco and China, working for several of the world’s most prestigious hotels, including Hotel Plaza Athenée, Paris; La Posta Vecchia, Rome; Hotel de Paris, Monaco; and The Ritz-Carlton in Shanghai.

Alessio most recently held the role of General Manager at Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa in Ischia.

“I am thrilled to join The Woodward on the beautiful shores or Lake Geneva,” Alessio said. “This debut marks the arrival of a ‘grand boutique’ hotel in the destination – offering extraordinary design and amenities yet intimate and welcoming in size and spirit with just 26 suites. Between the magnificent work of award-winning designer Pierre-Yves Rochon and two Michelin-starred restaurant concepts on site, The Woodward represents a gleaming new gem on the Geneva hospitality landscape, and I look forward to ensuring our guests have an outstanding experience.”
