Antonio Berardi's Little Black Book

McQueens Flowers, London EC1
Ranunculus is my favourite flower. The renowned McQueens florist on Old Street does the best hand-tied bouquets around. mcqueens.co.uk

Diptyque, London W1
When I am in London, I like visiting the boutique on Brook Street - the staff and the atmosphere make choosing a candle such a luxurious experience. My favourite smell is Opopanax. diptyqueparis.co.uk

Verdura Resort, Sicily
My idea of pure luxury is an escape to the calm of Verdura. I like visiting the local town and vineyards or, to relax, there's nothing better than its Vita Health spa. verduraresort.com

The Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh
Luxurious and contemporary at its finest. I love ornate and romantic places, and this hotel always makes me feel at home. thebalmoralhotel.com

Wallsé, New York
A modern take on classic Viennese cuisine, which is light and clean and totally, totally scrumptious. kg-ny.com/wallse

The Cherwell Boathouse, Oxford
Over 100 years old, this family business is in a beautiful riverside setting. Punt upstream or down and then enjoy a delicious meal by the talented young chef. cherwellboathouse.co.uk

Nathan Outlaw at The St Enodoc Hotel, Cornwall
As a Sicilian, it is always important for me to eat local food, especially seafood. This amazing restaurant in Rock sources everything locally and its fish is second to none. nathan-outlaw.com
