Bonjour madame, merci beaucoup pour tes vidéo tu me fais rêver. Que Dieu vous bénisse abondamment qu'il vous donne la santé, et plus des richesses 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
When I saw you posted a video I literally said to myself: "Here comes my next beautiful relaxing meditation video". And when I heard that guy with a guitar playing that beautiful music, I knew I was right. As always, beautiful classy relaxing video, well done. Thank you.
Awww thank you so much for the love. You called it - that guitarist played the song like no one else...as if to celebrate life in the most potent way...and I was completely mesmerized as it's also soft and melodious. As always, you got such discerning taste for finer things in life haha
The hotel is really impressive i went to Milano and i stayed at principe di savoia i like it but honestly i loved the four seasons after watching this video
They're both luxurious hotels. Still...you won't regret it in case you'll want to switch next time - especially if you , like me, prefer a lighter/cheerful vibe.
@@alexisluxurytravels1 OH THANK YOU SO MUCH for commenting on my art. You actually inspired me to start my TH-cam channel.

@@alexisluxurytravels1 - Ah... These days, I am more into flops, sitting at a tiki bar and watching the sunset :) That said, it is a privilege to travel through your eyes and reminisce. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and many more travels in the new year!
@@solamano7239 Sounds lovely to me too what you get to do these days...flip flops, tiki bar, sunset... ohlala 😊 Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! Have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year 🎄🎊
The hotel looks beautiful. The Four Seasons Milan has been around since the 1990s but has kept its age really well, from your filming. Your night shots of Milan made the city look beautiful. I have stayed in Milan at the Park Hyatt, which is very close to the Galleria shopping centre you were in.
I also had stayed at the Park Hyatt in 2019 (See my video "Milan Must-see Park Hyatt...) I liked the location a lot for the same reason. Glad you liked my night shots, true that Milan can be quite photogenic. Good to see you :)
Thank you for the beautiful videos.I &hubby have been binge watching almost all of them and travelling vicariously through you.We used to travel around Europe for three months every year.I can’t help but wonder if we’ll ever be able to go back.For the time being trapped in 🇨🇦. Merry Christmas from both of us 💕🎄👏
Aww so sweet of you to say that...keep on binging. Hope you'll be able to get out next year...will send out a prayer into the universe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both 💞🌷🎄
Aww you're too sweet, thank you! With overseas travels complicated by shutdowns and the likes I'm sticking with local scenes for now. Stay tuned. Brighter days await. Be safe and stay well, Best Videos 🌺

I adore your filming style. I felt like I was there right beside you. I am loving watching your channel grow as well. When you film your beautiful accessories and hand bags, I feel that it’s just for me. Haha!
Aww so sweet, beautifully put... thank you! Clearly you're having fun coming along with me - and that's the point (wink wink) haha 😊 My channel is still tiny but cozy, yes? and oh, we sure go way back. Right now, I'm working the logistics (so many moving parts) for the next trip...hopefully soon.
I'm cancelling Paris...can you imagine that...utterly heart broken! Will return once the situation improves. Crying into the pillow every night. Haha just kid'n...got to laugh a little at the mess we're having now, you know?
Ohhh that IS heartbreaking 💔 but I suppose it’s for the best for the time being. Soon! Soon we will be free to walk around the world again. Cheers! Happy New Year! 🎆
@@msavp4481 I suppose you're right. I heart your advice 🥰Ahh yes soon we'll gallivant the world again to rivet and tantalize ourselves with what's out there. Happy New Year!! 💃🌷
Outstanding video thank you kindly. So beautiful the Four Seasons hotel not just in Milan but worldwide. Milan so beautiful always and so much to do and see. I must go to Milan in the future.
Hey my beautiful Alexis, you're looking well as always!!! Hotel is sublime and the food looked incredible too! Was loving that guy playing the electric guitar he's excellent but no idea of the name of the song sorry!!! Take care of yourself all my love and have a truly amazing Xmas and hope that 2022 brings you all your pure heart desires!!! Paula in uk xxxx
Hi Paula my beautiful! Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Fantastic 2022 🎄🎉 which will bring you something you very much want!!! Apparently you got good taste in music haha I so loved that guitarist - his song stopped me in my tracks, literally. Take excellent care of yourself, yes? xoxo Alexis in US
@@alexisluxurytravels1 Thank you for your beautiful videos. Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I loo forward to many more videos in 2022 from you from Canada
Thx..brought back fond memories of my stays there..love the location too and glad to see some activity..I’ll hope to return next near after the cuckoo virus leaves..😷😷😷😱😱🤪🤪
There were cute girls there too haha... but the cute boys were very nice/polite. They swerved around instead of blocking my filming. So I said thanks... turning my camera to smile at them... sweet that they even gave me thumps up! Little incidents like this is what makes my travels memorable - you know the warm and fuzzy feelings we all appreciate. Especially when we're far away from home :)
Amazing guitar solo in the wonderful acoustics of the plaza! The song is by the British band called Pink Floyd. The title of the song is: Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Yes, such amazing guitar solo... that song gave me the goosebumps literally stopped me in my tract as I entered the plaza that night. So I hung around filming, hoping it would never end. Until then I knew the band, just not the song. Now I'm hooked 😊
Love the video (and the four seasons!) The “pizza pie” is called panzerotti, the next time you’re in milan go to “panzerotti Luini” it’s a bakery and they specialise in them. (It’s right behind the galleria)
Another great video presentation that’s both interesting and helpful! By the way, you should always include a shot of yourself in all your films - like Alfred Hitchcock used to do! I do just have one question, how do you manage to always swing a complimentary room upgrade. I’ve stayed in several of the hotels that you’ve reviewed and this has never happened for me, even when I asked nicely!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome to my channel. Watch my videos again you'll see I don't always get room upgrade. In general, if you are a repeat guest, travel in low season, and stay during week days, the hotel is more likely to offer you a complimentary upgrade. Wishing you a bit of luck, too :)
Hi Alexis, OK, thanks for the great advice, I’ll try that next time. By the way, the next time you visit Milan, you should extend your European trip by a few days and travel north to Lugano, which is just over the Italian/Swiss border. It’s only about an hour’s drive away from Milano.There’s a hotel there called Villa Castagnola, which was originally the residence of a Russian Count. It’s situated right on the shores of Lake Lugano and has a Michelin starred restaurant. The views over the lake are stunning. I think this would be ideal location for one of your super video presentations. Ciao, Gary
The Italianos usually do a better job on blending old and new but I wasn't impressed by the property. The room furnishings were not the newest (Four Season standards?) and the coffered ceilings in the lobby just didnt seem to work for me. In Italy, for me, less is more but they seemed to have missed that here. If you want a stunning blend of old and new, you must go to Zurich and stay at the Hotel Widder. Perhaps a spring trip, as that's when the city comes to life after a lackluster and grey winter. You'll love the Widder.
Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion, will look up Hotel Wilder if work ever finds me in Zurich. The hotel isn't a stunning Four Seasons property a la George V, that I agree with you. I also did not appreciate the lack of ambience at the veranda, but I liked the lobby/its ceilings/room and board (the Suite/its bathrooms/flowers/food) And they played good music in the lobby! Room furnishings were not the newest I admit but of good quality as they're quite cushy. All in all the good clearly outweigh the bad and I intend to return, actually. Good to see you!
@@alexisluxurytravels1 Nice to see you taking us on your travels again. I always enjoy the breakfast and shot of the news paper. When I was at school in Switzerland in early 2000's, we had been hearing a lot about this property. Everyone wanted to go and see it. But I stayed true to the Cote d'Azur, instead going to the Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat and to Le Chevre d'Or in Menton - also a stunning place if you haven't been. But top two in Zurich - the Widder and the Baur au Lac.....the Baur au Lac is very traditional, but the Widder is just stunning when you see what they did, blending old and new, and their restaurant and bar. Beautiful rooms. You'll love the shopping too on the Bahnhofstrasse. Can't wait for the next video. Happy 2022!!!
Here's to a Happy 2022!!! ✨ inspite of having to cancel my January trip to Paris...not an inspiring start right? I simply wouldn't want to catch anything while being that far away from home -- though making a video about getting stuck in Paris alwhile infected would be something different for you all to watch haha. Not. Hence the domestic scenes for the time being. Stay tuned!
@@alexisluxurytravels1 Paris wouldnt be such a bad place to be stuck. At least some great restaurants around who "might" do delivery. Hahaha....I bet not. If that were to happen to me over there, I'd head out towards Normandy, Burgundy or Champagne - less humanity around and more agriculture, open space of great cheese and food, although, the best food in France does come from Lyon. But if you want a little bit of great French food in the bay area, head over to Sausalito, to a restaurant along the waterfront called Le Garage.......hands down the best moules for miles!!! French kitchen and French service, but not formal. Give it a try.
