In addition to Milan, the Lungarno Collection’s Portrait Hotels luxury offering extends to the exquisite cities of Rome and Florence with the Portrait Roma and Portrait Firenze. Located in the heart of each of the three cities, guests of the Portrait Milano, Roma and Firenze can enjoy immediate access to city gardens, local markets and cultural events. Just a short drive away, the countryside of Lazio, Toscana, and Lombardia offer immersive autumn experiences – from colorful foliage and harvest festivals to serene escapes surrounded by nature. With the arrival of Fall, guests are welcomed by crisp morning air, golden afternoon light, and a landscape alive with seasonal abundance. This is the season when nature, culture, and hospitality come together to create moments of warmth, flavor, and discovery throughout Milan, Rome and Florence.

The five-star luxury Portrait Milano’s once-in-a-lifetime experiences include a hands-on a culinary journey when guests can become a Chef For A Day learning how to perfect your favourite Italian recipes – a sumptuous risotto, authentic Italian pizza or maybe a delectable dessert. A full immersion into the world of Valpolicella’s wines led by a passionate local expert as part of Raising Glasses; and accompanied by a faithful four-legged companion, take a closer look at the underground treasures when Truffle Hunting in the forests near Milan. Or if the Italian automotive world piques your interest, experience the charm of driving an authentic vintage car along picturesque roads, winding through traditional villages and stunning UNESCO landscapes as part of the Luxury Vintage Paolo Tour.  

Come Fall, Caffè Dell’Oro and Borgo San Jacopo in Florence will celebrate the season with curated dishes that honor the harvest. A hint of truffle here, a touch of sweet chestnuts there, vibrant tomato sauces made from sun-ripened fruit, and drizzles of freshly pressed olive oil – each plate is paired beautifully with a glass of Chianti or Barolo, inviting guests to indulge in the true taste of the Italian Autumn.

Following the success of 10_11 Bar Giardino Ristorante’s award-winning breakfast, the stunning bar, garden and restaurant will be offering Sunday Brunch from Fall. The new dining offer is an invitation to slow down, savor and connect at the end of the weekend. Served in the dehor overlooking the garden, the Brunch menu includes a delectable healthy buffet of salads, fruit and vegetables with fresh ingredients personally selected by the guests, alongside with two dishes from the menu. The culinary team entertains with trolleys full of daily specials every Sunday.

If you’re visiting the Italian capital this Fall, Portrait Roma offers an array of curated experiences including Cooking Classes with seasonal ingredients; Golf Cart Tours of local markets and Villa Borghese visiting the hidden gem of Bagnoregio and its Vineyards; alongside Private City Tours of unconventional and unusual sights of the city, undiscovered by most visitors.

Continuing the culinary theme, relax at Portrait Firenze immersed in Florentine Cooking Classes from market to table; enjoy the scents and sights of a nearby woodland while Truffle Hunting for fresh, seasonal offerings; and discover The Ancient Art of Working Silk, a two-hour experience at the historic Antico Setificio Fiorentino in Florence’s San Frediano district, where centuries-old weaving traditions meet an exclusive Tuscan-inspired gastronomic journey.

All three Portrait Hotels by Lungarno Collection offer a deeply personal way to experience Italy’s living and moving heritage and upcoming seasonal cultural calendar.
