The environment where we spend our days, the people who surround us, the room that houses us when after a busy day-all of these profoundly affect the quality of our lives and the experiences we have.
Experiencing firsthand the magic of the Italian Renaissance by visiting Mantua becomes more valuable if we retreat to a seventeenth-century villa in the evening and start the day by walking around and sipping a cappuccino at its fabulous Italian garden. Just as immersing ourselves in the glamorous atmosphere of Milan is much more engaging if there is a designer or boutique hotel to welcome us at the end of the day. And what about country houses and agritourisms that surrounded by greenery offer their lucky guests the fruits of their land and labor.
But pay attention: location is important but it is not everything if waiting for us at the reception desk is not a welcoming person willing to tell us the story of the splendid Renaissance villa or boutique hotel where he works; or if the guy at the bar is not willing to tell you the secrets of making the perfect cappuccino; or even if the cook does not come out of the kitchen to tell you where his passion and the meticulousness with which he selects and chooses the ingredients to create his dishes comes from.
