“My favorite treatment is the “Floral Chic,” which gives our bodies a well-deserved moment since it combines all the classic therapies of Angsana Spa. The technique is based on infused flowers to increase circulation and eliminate toxins. It promotes concentration and relaxes tired muscles. We also add a wrap--a body sheet that helps to improve the skin's absorption. Nothing better closes the experience than with a relaxing and refreshing facial.” -Eddy Tello, Spa Manager (INSIDER, the ‘Favorites’ issue, July 2024)

“I have two favorite on-property guest experiences. First is our complimentary Pasta Class which I love as it's an opportunity to have a delightful time in the kitchen and to learn how to create traditional handmade pasta using locally sourced ancient grains.

Second is our Grigliata night which is an Italian version of a barbeque. It's a warm, familial dining event taking place in our historical garden, with a beautifully decorated long table adorned with twinkling lights and fresh flowers. It’s always a memorable

convivial dinner for our guests” - Rossella De Filippo, General Manager, Palazzo Margherita (INSIDER, the ‘Favorites’ issue, July 2024)
