The Countryside With Style And Simplicity

To go to Can Lluc Hotel Rural, we took a taxi. Honestly, it’s the simplest way: the road ends with a track of red earth. What a pleasure to discover the property of 11 bedrooms, 14 one-bedroom villas and 2 large villas! Lovely welcome, lush gardens, beautiful swimming pool with a panoramic view of hills and orchards. The old and modern architecture discreetly blends into the decor. Far from the noise and traffic jams of Evissa.

Chic and intimate countryside to enjoy Ibiza differently. Our room has a small shaded terrace, near the swimming pool. Inside the room, the rustic decoration is in the Mediterranean style with floor tiles, wood and thick stone walls : simple, practical and comfortable, without unnecessary objects. There are a small fireplace for the winter season, air conditioning, mini bar and television. The large bathroom is bright and the bedding of good quality. A little cocoon. This summer, two new villas with very contemporary decoration have been added.

We had planned a thousand things to do: a trip to the north of the island, a dinner at Aubergine… But from the moment we arrived, we didn’t want to move. The swimming pool deserted during daytime by the customers who visited the island, has become our swimming pool. Swimming, enjoying the view, swimming,. And why not a mini trek in the surroundings, or cycling… Farniente (idleness). The excellent breakfast is presented and served with taste. And the dinner cooked by the chef is delicious too. We sit down on the large terrace, surrounded by vegetation. Dreamily, I watch the night fall slowly. This is the South… beautiful South!

Une oasis de tranquillité

La campagne avec style et simplicité

Pour arriver au Can Lluc Hotel Rural, nous avons pris un taxi. Honnêtement, c’est le plus simple : la route finit par une piste en terre couleur sienne. Mais quel plaisir en découvrant la propriété, comptant 11 chambres, 14 villas d’une chambre et 2 grandes villas! L’accueil est agréable, les jardins luxuriants, la piscine avec vue sur les collines et vergers. L’architecture ancienne et moderne, se fond discrètement dans le décor. Loin du bruit et des embouteillages d’Evissa.

La campagne chic et intimiste, pour profiter d’Ibiza autrement. Notre chambre a une petite terrasse ombragée, proche de la piscine. A l’intérieur, la décoration est de style rustique méditerranéen, tomettes, boiseries et murs en pierres épais : simple, pratique et confortable. Sans objet inutile, avec une petite cheminée pour la saison d’hiver, la climatisation, un mini bar et une télévision. La salle de bain est grande et claire et la literie de qualité. Un petit cocon. Cet été, deux nouvelles villas à la décoration très actuelle ont été ajoutées.

Nous avions planifié mille et une choses : une virée dans le nord de l’île, un dîner chez Aubergine… Mais dès l’instant où nous sommes arrivés, nous ne voulions plus bouger. La piscine, désertée en journée par les clients partis à l’assaut de l’île, est devenue notre QG. Nager, somnoler, nager, nager. Et pourquoi pas un mini treks dans les environs, ou faire du vélo… Farniente. Le petit déjeuner est excellent, présenté et servi avec soin. Et le dîner, cuisiné par le chef est aussi délicieux. On s’attable à une vaste terrasse, entourée de végétation. Rêveuse, je regarde tomber la nuit lentement. On dirait le sud…

Strolling Around Bruges And Surroundings

Posted on May 11, 2022 | Leave a comment

A Huge Need for Beauty And Culture

At the beginning of spring, it was freezing cold and I walked for a long time in the historic center of Bruges without any real goal, just the huge need for beauty and culture. Cobbled streets, old buildings and the Reie river. Following the inspiration of the moment, I follow the narrow passage that opens onto an interior courtyard with a pretty garden. Continuing, near the canal, small bridge probably dating from the Middle Ages extremely curved and slippery. I observe the old stones steeped in history. And it’s off again to get lost in a maze of streets until nightfall. Walk, stroll and visit a museum!

In the city of chocolatiers, I finally tasted the famous chocolate (with hazelnuts) from Dominique Persoone, star chocolatier. Its chocolate is fine, subtle and tasty, without fuss: such a treat! I think the decor of his shop doesn’t represent well to the finesse of his creations. Close to the Ellis Gourmet Burger: very good burgers with quality meat. After many feasts (lololol), I finally head the Groeningemuseum to discover eminent Belgian painters over six centuries, starting with the Flemish masters Jan van Eyck (15th century) and Pieter Bruegel the Elder (16th century). The museum is not huge, but there are many major art works. A really exciting visit, collections absolutely to see!

The big breath of fresh air : on the way to Bruges, we made a detour through the landscape park of the Bulskampveld castle estate. The tour started with the Herb Garden (herbs that can be purchased from a vending machine; bring change). Then the Paths through the water: soothing landscape, even under a threatening sky. We continued into the nearby woods. Very pleasant walk without great difficulty, beneficial for both the mind and the body. As a reward for these 10 km walk: my first homemade ice cream of the season!

                                The day trip in pictures below
