What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the hotel itself certainly lives up to its ‘design’ billing, from the vaguely space-age circular building to the simple modernist lines and curves of its furnishings and interior design.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Premier Palm Beach sits just outside the doors, and the town center of Milano Marittima is a short stroll away.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony. Multi-level suites add rooftop terraces with hydromassage tubs overlooking the water.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 90-square-meter designer pool sits beside the sun deck, and the resort grounds include a 25-meter semi-Olympic pool.
At the table
Stars Bridge serves grilled fresh fish from a terrace suspended over the pool, and Mariposa Lounge Bar pours aperitifs.
How it began
Poet and screenwriter Tonino Guerra helped shape the concept in 2002, imagining an artistic departure from standard seaside hotels.
