For a couple of days, I take with me my preferred perfume, then my favourite lipstick &#8211; that makes me feel always perfect and feminine &#8211; a pair of sneakers for the day and a pair of high heels shoes for the evening, my pajama or my night gown that smells home, my backpack to stroll around and on the beach and my Metropolis Furla Clutch bag for the evening.

Jacuzzi and small talk<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">After putting everything in the wardrobe of our beautiful suite with sea view, we decide to enjoy a relaxing hydro-massage in a beautiful Jacuzzi accompanied by small talk and a glass of fine wine\u2026 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fresh fruits for plenty of healthy energy and rose petals for a lovely scent, a lot of bubbles and bath salts to dissolve in hot water\u2026 Who wouldn\u2019t want to enjoy moments like these?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6151\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_6667-1024x698.jpg\" alt=\"vasca relax palace hotel milano marittima\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_6667-1024x698.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_6667-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_6667-770x525.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3.

So let\u2019s choose the best outfit together, exchange advice and help each other to \u201cthame\u201d our hair by means of our curling tongs. Let\u2019s be curly!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. The aperitif: an appointment not to be missed<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is one of my favourite moments in the day. Milano Marittima offers a wide range of street bars where you can enjoy fab aperitifs with plenty of hot and cold snacks. The heart of Milano Marittima is located at a few steps from the Palace Hotel and it is the best area for the \u201cnight movida\u201d\u2026 We decide to go for the Umami: a very cozy and welcoming pub with a sophisticated ambiance, dim lights and the clink of glasses\u2026 The superb cocktail is accompanied by a delicious selection of cold cuts and cheeses served on a wooden board. Cheers!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5. A five star fish dinner!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Back to the hotel for a sumptuous dinner. The restaurant \u201cI Venini\u201d at the Palace Hotel has a \u00e0-la-carte menu with a wide selection of dishes and excellent wines from its own cellar. From the starter, through to the main course and the dessert, we have delighted our palates: dishes are exquisite, flavours are rich and well balanced. The attention to details, the quality of the ingredients, the beauty of every dish and the impeccable service have made us feel like two princesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6. After-dinner\u2026 Fiesta at the Pousada Beijaflor!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">After dining, back to the town center for a stop at the coolest place in MiMa! You cannot miss the Pousada Beijaflor and its maracuja cocktail. The place is a Brazilian restaurant and bar where you can have a taste of the real south American style. Perfect for after-dinner magic moments!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>7. Breakfast: strictly in bed!<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We decide to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and fresh home-made croissants. Room service breakfast is a lovely way to wake up and the king size bed in our suite is just perfect for it! That\u2019s what we call being spoilt!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6161\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1631-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"colazione food palace hotel milano marittima\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1631-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1631-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.selecthotels.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1631-770x513.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>8. Take a stroll on the beach<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A beautiful sun is out, the sea view is superb. So we decide to go out for a walk on the beach. Shoes off, feet in the sand and plenty of fresh air to breathe! What an energetic way to start the day. For those who are well trained, jogging is also highly recommended\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>9. A regenerating spa session<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">After filling up with energy on the beach, a stop at the spa is a must. The Dolce Vita Spa at the Palace Hotel has a relaxation pathway with steam bath, sauna and Jacuzzi and offers a wide selection of personalized beauty treatments and massages. The relaxation area includes a corner with herbal teas, biscuits, juices and fresh fruits. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A real panacea for body and mind!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">10. Bicycle and shopping!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">After our relaxation session, we decide to go for some \u201chealthy\u201d shopping by bike.
