Brianza is a district with a favourable geographical position. It can be reached with just a short trip from Milan, and it offers excellent conditions in terms of climate, the natural setting, and the many opportunities linked to the attractions provided by the area. The hills begin just a few kilometres north of Monza, and they continue further north, gradually reaching greater heights. Some locations have been classic destinations for trips outside the city for a long time. Today they are made even more popular by the organization of excursions, cycle trips and culinary excursions, in attractive hilltop towns such as Montevecchia and Monticello Brianza. The lakes area is also very beautiful. It includes Lake Annone and Lake Pusiano, also known as Eupilio, famous for the descriptions by poet Parini who was born there. The area offers many historical and art treasures. These include the lovely Basilica of San Vincenzo, not far from Cantù, in a splendid position on the Galliano hill. (more…)
The process starts with cocoa beans from a world away in Ecuador, Venezuela, Trinidad, Santa Domingo, and the island of São Tomé, off the western central coast of Africa. Each one has its own distinctive traits: the São Tomé beans are full-bodied and tannic, while the Ecuadorian ones have persistent and smooth flavor. The beans are fermented locally and then dried in the sun before workers sift through them to toss out any that don’t meet their high standards.
C-SPA represents the excellence of physical and mental wellbeing. An oasis of pleasure, to regain harmony in an atmosphere of absolute intimacy. Escape from the frenzy of everyday life by immersing yourself in a dreamlike dimension. A trip rediscovering oneself through time, the seasons and the continual contact with nature. An exclusive space for wellbeing that has thermal baths adapted to the guests’ preferences.
At Materia Prima the excellence is researched selecting and buying personally every ingredient (from meat to fish, from vegetables to wine, personally chosen by the oenologist Marco Colzani) in order to guarantee the best result of each dish and to satisfy the expectation of the most demanding gourmet.
Integrity, clarity of intents and high attention to detail are C-HOTEL&SPA architectural features: austere but not extreme, contemporary and yet timeless, calm but not ascetic, strong but not intimidating, smart but not ostentatious. The created layout has been thought to spread a feeling of comfort and tranquillity.
With his groundbreaking C-Hotel&Spa, Andrea Colzani is bringing a bold new sensibility and style to the Lake Como region.
