Alex is joined by a special guest co-host, actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell, to chat with their mutual girl crush Marie-Louise Scio, the ultra-creative hotelier behind three picturesque properties along the Italian coast. Shay and Alex discuss their trip to Mezzatorre Hotel last summer, on the island of Ischia, which came with a pregnancy announcement and the consumption of roughly one hundred and eighty three tomatoes.

Marie-Louise explains the history behind each of the legendary hotels, a combined legacy featuring the discovery of a lost Roman ruin, the richest man in the world, a fortuitous bout of seasickness, and a cameo by Charlie Chaplin. She also shares her creative process and her overall design philosophy, which has lended itself to so many projects that this summer she launched Issimo, a digital destination for Italy lovers.
