Spring is here, smiles all round! On that note, we’re delighted to have our dear friend Michil Costa, owner of Hotel La Perla in Corvara, bring his effervescent spirit and unique philosophy on authentic living to The ISSIMO Edit this month. From symbolic colours and prints, to handmade treasures that inspire us to reconnect with nature, Michil’s wishlist captures the sensory joys of the season in all their glory.
“My favourite Pellicano Hotel is Hotel Il Pellicano for sure. It is the Sciò family’s most iconic property and it represents the history of hospitality in the world,” says Michil, who certainly knows a thing or two about the art of hospitality and is always a pleasure to feature on ISSIMO (…he’s one of our most coltISSIMO guests!). Let’s discover a few products that have tickled Michil’s fancy as we prepare to head outdoors, fill our lungs with fresh air, and enjoy those glorious spring days.
BELLA COPIA

For Buddhists, orange is the colour of the highest state of the soul, of enlightenment. And certainly, my deepest reflections can find space in this orange notebook.

Aperitivo Box
Spring invites us to savour its warmth, its scents, its beauty; how wonderful to be able to be outside enjoying the delicacies of this aperitivISSIMO!
BORSALINO
Panama semicrochet hat
The rays are getting warmer and warmer, and I am enjoying the sun peeping through the beautiful Tuscan hills of the Val d’Orcia with this beautiful Borsalino Panama hat; its colour in burnt orange tones goes well with my notebook.
ISSIMO X VILLEROY & BOCH
Bougainvillea Tea Cup and Saucer
Savouring my 5am tea, looking at my beloved Dolomites, in this wonderful porcelain cup; bougainvillaea in my hands awakens the spring within me.
ISSIMO X PINEIDER
Pencils
MatitISSIMO, to create a piece of writing that always reminds me that true hospitality must go beyond boorish tourism.
LABSOLUE
Il Pellicano Rosmarino Candle
Bringing the scents of Hotel Il Pellicano into my working environment: how magical! I can already imagine myself dreaming of being in Porto Ercole by the sea smoking my cigar.
