Monty Banks is the pseudonym of Mario Bianchi, an actor, director and dancer from Romagna who emigrated to the United States and was famous in the era of silent films. In 1939 he built this Villa in the hills of Cesena as a holiday home.
Under the guidance of architect Gualtiero Pontoni, a structure with clear British influences and an unusual style for both the Romagna area and Italian architecture of the time was born.
Today after careful restoration Villa Monty Banks is Hotel and Gastronomic Restaurant led by Chef Ivan Milani.
The interiors in natural materials, marble and wood, feature references to the 1930s that blend with contemporary furnishings.
A stay at Villa Monty Banks constitutes an all-around general wellness experience. One goes there for a captivating gastronomic Restaurant and leaves enriched by the memory of a relaxing stay in a classy abode with an enjoyable Spa.
Chef Ivan Milani is the creator of a cuisine with a short supply chain, both land and sea, lively and with great personality, oriented, between research and tradition, to a strict autarchy, with a very high percentage of homemade products, from cheeses to cured meats, from leavened products to fermented products.
From his philosophy, which has always put ethics and product quality at the center, come dishes of refined simplicity, rich in cues and contaminations, with lots of oriental quotations.
