...irresistible afternoon teas; one of those washed down with a bottle of champagne extra brut should undo your workouts from the previous fortnight. This plus an array of what the management refers to as light lunches but which probably don't figure on most diet plans - vichyssoise with tempura oyster, Wagyu-beef teriyaki and the like. Order a couple of cordials from the divine cocktail list and the last thing you'll feel like doing is heading back to the treatment room to be slapped around by a masseuse.

...Vittorio Emanuele II at the Piazza del Duomo. It's a fairytale setting for the free classical piano recital held there every night. A few minutes' walk away, next door to La Scala, is my favorite restaurant, Il Marchesino, tel: (39-02) 7209 4338.

...markups on the minibar, barista-worthy machines that brew complimentary coffee grounds - add to the welcome. The hotel's restaurant, Opus, is locally celebrated for chef Todd Cheavins' seasonal cuisine (the current menu features things such as vanilla-seared scallops with crab salad and grilled red emperor fish with tempura zucchini flowers). For working it off, the azure indoor lap pool is impossible to resist, and joggers will appreciate proximity to the 1,000-acre (400 hectare) Kings Park and Botanic Garden.
