Residence with style in Italia – Bulgari Hotel / Milano / Italy

House & Hotel Magazine loves this nice designer hotel in Milan.

Bulgari Hotel presides over a 18th Century palazzo that’s still the hottest address in town. The location sits between Via Montenapoleone and the Accademia di Brera, floating in a dreamy garden of rolling of almost neon-green lawn and elevated outdoor lounge arranged in sexy décor and fichus trees as manicured as the model-looking patrons.

Interiors live up to even the loftiest of architectural expectations with Zimbabwe black marble and Zen-undertones compliments of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel. An in-house Italian eatery offers refined cuisine in a fashionable setting. Three separate bar areas include the lobby lounge, a main bar defined by floor-to-ceiling windows facing an outdoor garden with oval-shaped bar cast in black resin in addition to Il Giardino garden lounge. Both the spa and fitness center with indoor pool are amazingly nice.
The rooms are small and more intimate than you expect on first site, a mere 58 rooms include 11 suites include Zen-minded design spaces with monochromatic furnishings and wood-paneled walls that have maintained the test of time in the most fashionable of circumstances. Lofty wood floors with dark woven rugs illuminate further details of teak and oak even in entry-level Superior Rooms with corner windows facing a 1930s street scene or elegant garden. Bathrooms are, of course, stocked in Bulgari Green Tea bath products between black granite bathtub and a separate shower lined in Navona travertine. Larger specialty suites offer more entertaining and living space with singular option including a teak-lined terrace.
As soon as the doors close you feel like at home, it is a green dream amidst the vibrant metropolis.
Livin in style in Italia / Milano, beautiful pool, its worth it to be here.

Resto tip in Milano:Dal Pescatore:

Located in in the countryside east of Milan, between Cremona and Mantua, in the Parco dell’Oglio nature reserve. Owner and restaurant manager Antonio Santini’s grandparents opened a restaurant on this spot in 1925, the restaurant name changing to Dal Pescatore in 1960. The kitchen is run by Giovanni’s wife Nadia Santini, who has held three Michelin stars at the restaurant since 1996. Nadia was trained by her husband’s grandmother Teresa, who was running the restaurant when Nadia and Giovanni married in 1974; Nadia had never cooked professionally before.
The restaurant has no rooms but if you want to stay locally there is a pleasant bed and breakfast not too far away called Muse 9. Dal Pescatore itself has an attractive terrace and a garden at the back, fully equipped on the evening of our visit, we nibbled on some fine ham and looked through the wine list.
The latter extends to 17 pages and has choices such as Antinori Tignanello 2000. The dining room has generously spaced tables looking out to the garden. Bread is a choice of white, onion and nut rolls, and was perhaps the least interesting thing about the meal.

The first nibble was a cold dish of aubergine and tomato with olive oil and a little basil and thyme, featuring dazzling-tasting tomatoes and just enough lemon to balance; such a simple dish, and yet perfectly balanced with superb flavour. The tomatoes had that great flavour that you only seem to get from ones grown in a Mediterranean climate.

Our first dish was a very pretty one of cold lobster in champagne jelly, alongside marinated eel with pickled ginger, and caviar Baerri Royal. The lobster was very tender indeed and the dish attractively set out, but I wondered whether the components were such a great combination, even though each element was in itself excellent. Risotto with peas and porcini and sweet herbs was beautifully made, the peas in particular having a beautiful sweetness, the rice perfectly cooked, the porcini excellent. It is hard to imagine how this dish could be improved upon.

Occhi di lupo arrived as several small pasta loops filled with Burrata cheese, Bottarga, tomato confit and basilic sauce. Sea bass with olive oil and mint was served with celery and leeks, the fish itself excellent, with great flavour and perfectly cooked, but the celery and leeks were even better, having utterly superb taste.

Later on we had an excellent little sea bass with a cube of fried polenta.

Cheeses were all from Italy and in very good condition. An orange soufflé was technically good and served with passion fruit coulis.

This is proper 3 star cooking. Yummy and just perfect.

Thx.
