Paris is always a good idea. Except, perhaps, when it’s hosting the Olympic Summer Games, and the usual tourist throng looks set to multiply almost prohibitively. Of course, the Games are exciting, but if wading through crowds feels like a marathon effort, try a cultural relay around one of these stunning European cities instead.
Famously known for its exceptional fashion scene, the legacy of Leonardo Da Vinci, fine cuisine and vibrant culture, Milan is an extraordinary city. The home to numerous renowned art-works such as Da Vinci’s Last Supper, Botticelli’s Madonna of the Book, but also to fashion legends such as Versace, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana.
Now, it is home to our latest opening, Rocco Forte House, an exclusive collection of 11 impeccably appointed apartments in a charming 19th-century palazzo. In the heart of Milan’s most fashionable neighbourhood, Quadrilato della Moda, this meticulously restored building is a haven of style.
The name Bernardo Buontalenti might not mean much to those outside of Florence, but it should. A prestigious Florentine architect and artist favoured by the Medici, he is also widely credited with inventing gelato. This frozen delight is now as synonymous with Italy as pizza and is deeply intertwined with Florence’s heritage. Take a tour of the city’s most celebrated gelaterias, curated by the expert concierge team at Hotel Savoy.
