The Concept
The Concept
Once upon a time, we started writing the story of The Magic Collection Retreats: a contemporary hospitality concept where –art, oenology, and soul– converge. Woven together by a family and an eclectic circle of artists, we have breathed life into interior spaces, infusing them with artistry at every turn. We love art, and believe it is the beating heart of our existence.
Megève
Our inaugural chapter unfolded in the picturesque village of Megève, a popular Alpine resort beloved by artists. It was one of Jean Cocteau’s favourite places, and remains the source of inspiration for many creative people who visit. Embodying the intention to preserve the artistic spirit, Francesco Vezzoli, while wandering in the chalet, decided to dedicate one of the rooms, the Saint Cocteau suite, to the beloved soul.
Forte dei Marmi
Continuing our odyssey, we ventured to the sun-kissed shores of Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany. The coastline overlooks the expanse of the Mediterranean Sea. This idyllic place, which served Michelangelo, and many other artists as a key transportation link for marble, became the canvas for our next masterpiece.
Ibiza
With the help of artist Luis Lázaro Matos, and many others, we recovered a traditional Ibizan finca. Located in Es Cubells, one of Ibiza’s most beautiful and nature-inspired locations, a few kilometers away from Es Vedra, the well-known ‘energy island’. Here, amidst the rugged beauty and mystical allure of Es Vedra, Magic Ibiza emerged as a testament to the harmonious fusion of nature and artistry.
Milan
Next came to life Magic Milano, an underground dining room where the enchantment of gastronomy and oenology comes to life. Nestled in the heart of the historic city within an old palazzo, this space offers an unexpected surprise. Here, you can immerse yourself in an art library and explore the sensory delights of “Le Nez du Vin.”
Genève
At last, we arrive at Magic Genève, our latest addition and the birthplace of our journey—a true opening of our heart and home, perfectly aligning with our mission to make art and our spaces accessible. Here, we unveil a bedroom inspired by the Japanese dōjō, adorned with red cider and Salvatori marble, featuring a stunning Melotti mirror, enhanced by the excellence of Starpool.
