Holidays at Aethos: Festive Magic Welcomes You

Milan: A refined celebration in the city of fashion

‍In Milan, the festive season is a tapestry of timeless traditions and contemporary allure.

The city sparkles with elegance as historic squares transform into luminous stages for carolers and markets, while locals indulge in the exquisite holidays’ baked-good, the Panettone.

At Aethos Milan, the charm continues in intimate spaces adorned with festive greenery, flickering candles and the soothing tones of live music.

The Doping Bar offers a menu of holiday-inspired cocktails—think spiced Negronis and mulled wine with a twist—paired with dishes that honour Milanese culinary heritage.

During the season, Aethos Club offers to members and guests plenty of experiences to get into the festive mood.

Join us for a festive screening “When Harry met Sally” or for a Light Painting Workshop with The Maptique to connect while crafting personalised lamps.

Gather by the fire for a storytelling evening or join us for a private dining experience, where every detail whispers understated sophistication.

Ericeira: Coastal traditions with a festive twist

‍Christmas in Ericeira is where the serenity of the Atlantic meets the warmth of Portuguese heritage.

The streets are alive with the glow of fairy lights and the scents of freshly baked bolo-rei and almond cookies.

At Aethos Ericeira, we celebrate with coastal-inspired festivities that embrace the rhythm of the ocean.

Guests are invited to partake in a holiday seafood dinner featuring the finest local catches, paired with velvety wines from nearby vineyards.

Join us for Christmas’ eve dinner or Christmas lunch, perfect for gathering with friends and family, while indulging in traditional Portuguese dishes, such as the pastéis de bacalhau, or the lombo de porco malhado de Alcobaça.

‍And if you are in a more party mood, do not forget to book your spots for the exclusive New Year’s eve party to ring in 2025 in true Aethos style, enjoying a night of delicious food, live music, and fireworks.

Saragano: An enchanting Christmas in Umbria

‍Tucked away in the hills of Umbria, Saragano is the embodiment of a storybook Christmas.

The village, lit by the warm glow of lanterns, hosts live nativity scenes and artisan markets that capture the region’s timeless spirit.

At Aethos Saragano, the season unfolds with heartfelt traditions.

Begin your day with a truffle hunt through misty woodlands, then return to craft cappelletti in brodo under the guidance of our beloved chef Delfina.

And your true Umbrian festive experience wouldn’t be complete without an intimate aperitivo beside our fireplace on December 24th.

Come and relax by the fire as we play cards, board games, chat, eat and drink, and get ready for two days of celebrations.

Here, Chef Delfina and General Manager Paul invite you to join their families for an unforgettable seasonal feast. One long (and noisy table) all together! You can choose to join just for dinner or lunch, or you can also come into the kitchen and help to prepare the dishes, or simply watch all the activities from the side with a glass of wine in hand.

Evenings are for candlelit feasts, with hearty Umbrian dishes and wines that reflect the earthiness of the land. Wrapped in the comfort of our historic estate, in Saragano you’ll rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.

Monterosa: Alpine majesty and festive wonder

High in the Italian Alps, Champoluc is a place where Christmas feels untouched by time.

Snow-dusted chalets, torchlit ski descents, and the distant chime of bells set the scene for a truly magical escape.

At Aethos Monterosa, we craft a festive experience steeped in alpine tradition.

Days are spent on the slopes or exploring the wintry forest trails, while evenings bring mulled wine by roaring fires, gourmet dinners featuring mountain delicacies, the soothing sounds of crackling wood or the warm and relaxing embrace of our SPA.

And, of course, do not forget to join us for our Christmas’ eve dinner: surrounded by snowy peaks and stunning nature, our Summit restaurant offers a one of a kind dinner menu, to celebrate with your dearest ones.

For the adventurous, heliski or our exclusive panoramic flight are a moment of pure enchantment amid nature’s grandeur.

You could also challenge yourself on our 12-meter ice wall, guided by an International Mountain Guide.

Wherever this holiday season takes you, Aethos invites you to experience a Christmas defined by authenticity, elegance, and connection.

Each of our destinations offers a celebration tailored to its unique surroundings, bringing together local traditions, intimate moments, and thoughtful touches that make the season unforgettable.
