Lesante Cape, un'oasi di tradizione e autenticità

Dici Zante e pensi al mare, al sole, ai tramonti mozzafiato. Zante è spiagge paradisiache, grotte, sirtaki, vecchie poesie ed echi di culture lontane. Un paradiso naturale di rara bellezza, un luogo dove ricercare il contatto con la natura.

Cosa prevedono le tendenze per l'estate 2018 in fatto di costumi da bagno?

Hotel Manin Milano

With the rain return to Milan, a kind of melancholy and sense of lack accompany me. I look out the train window, lost in thoughts about new projects, future, my life. Until all this thinking is stopped, and I find myself before the goal of my pilgrimage.

Catapulted into the center of Milan I go into what will be my home for the next two days, Manin Hotel, a mixture of luxury and elegance unique among hotels in the city.

Located in the heart of Milan, near the Duomo, La Scala Theatre and the fashionable streets, Manin Hotel, a magnificent 4-star: tradition passed down for generations since 1904.

The hotel's prestige, in addition to geographical location, is given by the long series of personalities passed within the structure during all its years of history.

The history of Manin, in fact, began in 1846, at the time of the Five Days of Milan and is told through a series of photographs in black and white that enrich the atmosphere and give an historical value to the property without equal.

Once inside the door catches your eye the luxury of materials used, the minimal and elegant ambience in a reality behind the times. Spaces are content just enough to put at ease those who stay at the same time maintaining that sense of privacy which the customer can use when required. The details are treated in detail, the atmosphere became filled, cheerful and bright by color choices of rooms, furniture and enriched by its design. To the left there is a lounge area flanked by the American Bar and the waiting room confined by a tangle of dark fences, green is king and is repeated in a thousand different shades and sizes: from almond trees in bloom to the bright colors the walls, the green expanse of creeper that can be seen from the local bay window to the waiting room armchairs. The American Bar is the hotel's meeting center, perfect for a light lunch or a coffee break or to enjoy an aperitif or a cocktail with friends.

Once the elevator doors open, I find myself in the sixth-floor corridor, ready to let me surprise from my suite. The environment, elegant and spacious, spread horizontally. A desk where waiting for me, on the right a sitting area with sofa and TV, a double bed decorated with an elegant line of white sheets with double pillows, and on the wall a "world" painted and built by an important Italian artist.

The 124 luxurious rooms, including 6 Junior Suites and 2 Suites, feature a contemporary design suitable for business, pleasure or leaks over the weekend. They are equipped with all amenities and some recently renovated, with private terrace overlooking the elegant Manin Garden, or enjoy stunning views of the Duomo or the green Sempione Park.

As in every class hotel, can not miss the equipped suites for the most demanding customers: "Junior Suite", "Executive Suite", ideal for those who consider the absolute tranquility and privacy added values, and "Panoramic Suite & pool", on the top floor, offering furniture and customized solutions and a mini pool in the open air terrace with wonderful views of the city.

Manin Hotel also has a small gym which guests can access for free from morning to night.

The restaurant, Manin Restaurant, is located at the end of a long corridor leading to the Garden, close to the meeting rooms. It is readjusted in terms of space thanks to a sliding system of walls such as to redesign the spaces of which the hotel may need based on several eventualities. Here we can delight your palate with a rich and varied cuisine, which traces the tradition of Milan but also internationally. The attention of the chef to raw materials is exceptional: in fact, all the dishes are made from fresh and genuine components. As for the rooms, even here it is proposed the green motif with an entire wall covered with fern in contrast with the black and beige that usually find in all visited areas so far and expresses continuity with the garden.

The perception is that of a luxury restaurant that pampers anyway its customers with a generous and friendly staff available to all guests.

The Garden, "the flagship" of Manin, is considered one of the most architecturally interesting gardens in the city and enjoys an ideal location within the hotel. Its old charm makes it spectacular and attractive to the eyes of anyone who wants to enjoy a good glass of wine.

What's more the property value is increased tenfold by the discovery of a few years ago the remains of a Roman cemetery which stood just below the current Garden.Today, the beauty and elegance of the Manin Garden is made unique by statues, capitals and other remains of this discovery.

Greeting this little corner of paradise, a faint ray of sun caresses my face and with its heat all the thoughts and fears are swept away.

Come una principessa al Melià Milano

I move down the taxi window, just enough to breathe the spring air that surrounds Milan. I look at the buildings sliding along with my thoughts. The taxi driver carried out and enveloping heady scent shakes my soul, the same fragrance that will accompany me in every room, corridor of Melià Milano.

"Welcome home", this is what I think in front of the elegant entrance. Soon I will remain completely speechless before the majestic hall with marble staircase that leads in the most exclusive part of the hotel, The Level and suites.

Located in the most dynamic and further development area of Milan, near the MiCo Convention Center, the San Siro stadium, AC Milan with its legendary museum and the trade fair ground, the hotel Melià Milano is ideal for more demanding customers.

Here you can pamper your palate while enjoying delicious appetizers, Mediterranean cuisine but also enjoying some of the best Italian wines and the finest cognacs. The cocktail menu offers a unique experience blending modern trends with the classics of the past.

Do you want to know a curiosity about the name? Jigger, shaped like a bow tie, is a tool that the barman use to measure the liquor to be paid into the shaker.

This set of attentions are the foundations on which the local bases, which reflect the approach to the customer in "Melià style", the signature of which is denoted in detail, step by step during the preparation of cocktails.

Melià Milano is also one of Milan's best hotel for congresses and conventions with 15 meeting rooms. The new plenary meeting room can accommodate up to 520 delegates. The staff, dealing with all the details, will help you to organize a successful event or business meeting.

But that's not all, because Melià Milano thinks everything. Have you ever thought how it would be nice to have a tailor at your disposal, ready to help you and to manufacture a tailored suit, perhaps for a gala dinner or a wedding? At Melià is possible, too, thanks to the very good tailor Matteo Mora, well-known figure in the industry.

The facilities offered are really many: from the excellent restaurant to the gym, from the hairdresser to the spa, an heaven on earth divided in 4 cabins of treatments and massages, and a relax circuit. In the Wellness Center, at your disposal, you can take care of the body and mind while you rest in the relaxation area enjoying a delicious herbal tea or fruit juices.

And when you think, with eyes still dreamy, had seen all, the Melià Milano will still have a way to surprise you.

As if it were not enough you will have the possibility to check-in and check-out privately and enjoy room service.

Once you cross the threshold of your room or suite we hit by a wave of light reflected from the floor parquet veins, sinuous lines of the ceiling arches and the white sheets.

On the elegant dresser sweet pampering and welcome cards, again catches the eye the intention of the hotel staff to pamper its guests; for coffee lovers is available a Nespresso machine, bathrobe and slippers exclusive The Level, teapot and an assortment of teas, bath products and more.

After a hearty breakfast I prepare myself to close the suitcase and to greet, with that mixture of happiness and sadness, one of the most surprising hotel in Milan.
