Snow-covered slopes and the Winter Olympics: many of us dream of après-ski in Cortina rather than dreary Milan. With prices tripled for the event, however, the refuges of the “Queen of the Snows” are not within everyone’s reach. Speronari Suites and El Porteño Gourmet recreate the atmosphere of a mountain hut, with free bombardino and mulled wine for a couple of weeks.
A few steps from the Duomo, in the outdoor seating area of the Argentine restaurant furnished with mountain-style sofas, skis, and a warm stove, a sophisticated and heated space comes to life. Thus, a corner of Milan is transformed into an urban refuge where you can feel like you’re in the mountains, at least for a while.
Every evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at Speronari Suites and El Porteño Gourmet, you can enjoy a free Malbec mulled wine or a Milanese-style bombardino, with mountain snacks such as polenta squares and taleggio cheese. “L’Après-Games” brings the tradition of post-ski aperitifs to the heart of Milan, at least until the end of the Winter Olympics on February 22.
El Porteño Gourmet and Speronari Suites
El Porteño Gourmet, located on the ground floor of Speronari Suites at Via Speronari 4, is a refined Argentine steakhouse. The restaurant offers an intimate and private atmosphere, as well as premium cuts of meat grilled to perfection, accompanied by excellent drinks and attentive service. If, after enjoying the mulled wine, the atmosphere inspires you, El Porteño Gourmet is the ideal place for a chic dinner with colleagues, friends, or family.
Speronari Suites welcomes its guests with 22 contemporary-style suites , ideal for an intimate and comfortable stay. The rooms are suitable for both short and long stays and include the Terrace Suite with views of the historic center, sauna, gym, and direct access to El Porteño Gourmet. If you are just passing through Milan, this property is worth considering for exploring the city on foot and relaxing in total privacy.
