We have a favorite hotel in the province of Alessandria: Villa la Bolina. My favorite thing to do after shopping is to go eat something and taste the local Gavi wine. Recommend to visit
On the way from Milan to Cannes, there is a villa where you just have to turn in and spend the night. A classic Italian building with excellent fresh renovation, cool perfumes on the floors and wonderful rooms. The lobby is perfect for both chill and mega photos. The rest on the first floor is a dump of the head, the views from the rooms to the lake and the golf course - finally something!!! In short, the master visit + do not forget about the excellent outlet within walking distance.
