Thirty-six memberships. Not one more.
Before Lino Cambi opens its doors in 2027, thirty-six people will become part of it.
Not as guests. Not as investors. As Founding Members — the people whose belief in this place, before it was finished, helped bring it into being.
This is an invitation, never the only way in. You are always welcome to simply come and stay.
What it means.
A Founding Membership is €5,000 — but it is not a fee. It converts in full to a Founder's Credit of €6,000 on your account: your €5,000, plus a €1,000 bonus for coming in before the doors open. Redeemable against stays, spa, and the table at Lino Cambi, at published rates, with no expiry.
This is how we open the first season. Most founders put their credit straight toward the inaugural 2027 summer — and book their dates before the calendar opens to anyone else.
The bonus and the founding rate exist only for these first thirty-six, and only until the doors open in 2027. After that, there is simply the published rate, like everyone.
Before your first stay, we want to talk — to understand what you are looking for and make sure Lino Cambi is ready for you when you arrive.
Each November, the first pressing of our harvest is shipped to your address. You receive first offer on the annual limited edition — before it is offered anywhere else.
Every special event at this property — a private dinner, a harvest ceremony, a visiting practitioner's evening — you are told first. Always with a place if you want it.
Once a year, you will receive a letter — written by us, posted to your home — on what the year held.
Ten things, held for life.
- 01 Founder's Credit€6,000 stored value for €5,000 in. No expiry. Redeemable against all spend.

What it is not.
- Not a timeshare
- Not a hotel loyalty program
- Not an investment vehicle
- No annual fees
- No renewal decisions
- No points to track
It is a founding relationship with a place, and with the people building it.
Yours to share.
Each Founding Membership holds one name — yours. You may register a Standing Companion, who is welcomed at Lino Cambi with full standing. Your companion is yours to choose, and yours to change. One email. No forms. No explanation.
