Nothing beats the Thermes Marins. Or do you refer to those nice gay spas in Milan?
Not good.
Genova is among the most horrible Italian cities. I mean, nobody goes to Genova unless for boarding a ferry boat or taking delivery of a container.
I like weekends in Barcelona. Good hotels, restaurants, sightseeing etc. Also good strippers. None of this can be found in Genova.Born in Barcelona you will be ok in Genova, Nice etc

Milan gay spas are not on my wish list.You could go to Sanremo, it’s near and you have the casino and the sea
Monaco is perfectly fine if you like a police state and you live in the Prince Castle - or at least in one of the few detached houses. For the price of a small apartment you can buy a decent mansion with your own beach in the Caribbean and still have money left to travel by plane to London, NY, Miami or Madrid whenever you like.

And top level entertainment at the Ariston theater for a week every February

If you are a Spanish speaker, why don’t you consider the Dominican Republic?
Personally, I wouldn’t live in any city even if you paid me. I’m a countryman who enjoys cutting his own lawn, grow fruits and veggies and take care of animals. Closest neighbor has to be at least 1km far.
Many? How can you spend “many” weekends in Sanremo? Is there something going on there that I’m not aware of?
Yes
Urban legend. Stay away from a couple of areas in Santo Domingo, Boca Chica, and wherever you see many Italians and you will be fine. Also don’t mess with local girls.
You can do all that and more in Santo Domingo, or in smaller cities if you prefer like Cabarete or Las Terrenas.
Punta Cana is not a real place.
Daily flights from Madrid are convenient, but yes you have to spend many hours on the plane.
No hurricanes in the DR. And anyway if a house is well built and with decent elevation (the real danger is the rising sea level) you will be safe in any Caribbean Island. It’s not that at 400kmh (cat 5 hurricane) a concrete house is disintegrated.
Some people are eaten alive, others are ignored by mosquitoes (no-see-ums). Who knows why. They can be managed though with natural remedies. Something you can’t do with an annoying neighbor, and things can go really nasty with neighbors (see the Nygard saga in Lyford Cay, Nassau).
I can more than agree lol
they often come with the full package of family, relatives and friends ready to scam the gringo.
100% this!
This applies to ALL of Latin America...and I'm speaking out of experience. 
lol - I was attending the UN for a week or so years ago, our home over that way was a 4/6 hr jaunt (drive) so opted to stay in a place just outside Geneva, but our staff flew in and wanted to stay closer so stayed in Geneva city itself - I never heard the end of it, United Nations was on the streets of Geneva not Palais
Then there's no advantage to picking the Caribbean.
According to the kpmg report they tax overseas investment income, but I highly doubt they enforce this rule
Only after the third year... also you can immigrate with a special status that removes all tax altogether (except local income).
Have you considered Andorra?
Some people prefer the vapid Monaco. Some people prefer the serene, cow-milking Andorra. I heard some people prefer even stranger things, like big busy cities, quaint little towns, wild jungles, deep forests, small islands, deserts, the open seas, and other crazy things.
