Switzerland: HUUS Gstaad Hotel

Posted on January 20, 2020 | Leave a comment

Did You Say Cosy?

Really Cool Interior Design

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. It was before I invested in a new mobile phone. 

Finally, here is a new hotel review! I do less and less for lack of time! I still recommend hotels (which I have tested) in my articles on destinations. But for the HUUS Gstaad Hotel, I really like the cosy hipster interior design created by a Swedish architect studio (I guess). It’s the kind of hotel where you feel like at home. 

My weekend evenings were really festive with DJs, champagne, sushi platters at the bar and a mix of locals and tourists. During my short stay in Gstaad and Saanen, my planning was super busy, so I didn’t have time to test the spa. On the other hand, I had a lovely dinner with friends at La Vue Restaurant. I ate delicious Italian-inspired dishes, prepared with local products. 

The Room

A Warm Cocoon

My room was a real cocoon, difficult to leave: really comfortable bedding, small bathroom very well equipped. And the cuckoo clock (photo above) which reminds you that you are actually in Switzerland. The French window opens onto a courtyard with sun loungers and views of the surrounding countryside. So quiet and relaxing (photo below).

Suisse: HUUS Gstaad Hotel

Posted on January 18, 2020 | Leave a comment

Vous avez dit cosy?

Très agréables salons, bar et restaurant

Désolée pour la qualité moyenne des photos, c’était avant que j’investisse dans un nouveau téléphone portable.

Voilà, enfin un hotel review : j’en fait de moins en moins, par manque de temps! Je continue à vous recommander des hôtels (que j’ai testés) dans mes articles sur les destinations. Mais je tenais à vous parler du HUUS Gstaad Hotel qui m’a beaucoup plu! A commencer par la décoration conçue par un studio d’architecte suédois (je crois) : à la fois design, super cosy et hypster! Le genre d’hôtel où on se sent comme à la maison. 

Les soirées du week-end sont festives avec DJ, champagne, plateaux de sushi au bar et un savant mélange de locaux et touristes. Lors de mon séjour éclair à Gstaad et Saanen, mon planning était chargé, aussi je n’ai pas eu le temps de tester le spa. Par contre, j’ai dîné avec des amis à La Vue Restaurant : délicieux plats d’inspiration italienne, préparés avec des produits locaux.

La chambre

Douillette à souhait!

Ma chambre est un vrai cocon qu’il est difficile de quitter : litterie très confortable, petite salle de bain très bien équipée. Et le coucou de l’horloge (photo ci-dessus) qui vous rappelle que vous êtes bien en Suisse. La porte fenêtre donne sur une sorte de cours avec chaises longues et vue sur la campagne environnante. Relaxant (photo ci-dessous).

Our Second Roadtrip in Andalusia, Spain: Cádiz

Posted on December 8, 2018 | Leave a comment

Stunning Architecture

A Walk In The Old Town

Finally in Cádiz on the Atlantic coast of Andalusia! We left the surroundings of Malaga around 10 a.m. this morning. On the way, we stopped at a beautiful deserted beach in Tarifa. Then on the road, we allso stopped at another beautiful beach in a natural reserve lost in the middle of nowhere. In short, we arrive in the historic center of Cadiz in the middle of the afternoon. Better late than never! 

Big crush for the city: the seaside reminds me Havana! The old buildings are superb. The pace is indolent in the oldest city of the West founded by the Phoenicians 3000 years ago. A movie set in a soft light, without tourists at this time of the year. The old town is small, we quickly made the tour: I take pleasure in losing myself in its streets and take the same route several times.

        

Castillo de San Sebastián

While we are looking for a café overlooking the ocean, we come across an entrance to this fortress surrounded by water (left photo below): the Castillo de San Sebastián. A very pleasant walk where we can see another point of view of Cádiz (first photo of the article). 

  

The Outdoor Café

  

Very cool, close to the cathedral of Cádiz and facing the ocean: the dream! On the left, when you are facing the Cathedral (back to the ocean). Relaxed atmosphere and great panoramic view! Excellent green olives with our drinks, I don’t want to return to Malaga (our base for this second roadtrip in Andalusia).

And if we stayed in Cadiz, darling? “The beauty of Cadiz has velvet eyes, Chi-ca! Chi-ca! Chic! Ay! Ay! Ay!“, translation: “The beauty of Cadiz has velvet eyes, Chi-ca! Chi-ca! Chic! Ay! Ay! Ay! ” (by Luis Mariano). Sorry (not sorry), I couldn’t help myself! Lol! A little vintage operetta. To be continued beautiful readers …
