It’s Time To Hit The Road Again, Miss!

Last March, I was invited in Switzerland, to a conference about a luxury travel (a post soon). The first topic was to define today luxury: we all agree to define it by experience and service. And Casa da Cisterna is a perfect mix of these two concepts!

During my trip to the Center of Portugal, I had a real crush on this little gem nestled in the castle of Castelo Rodrigo, a medieval village overlooking a wide plain. Olympian calm and a view to die for! To open a book and curl up in a hammock.

Speaking of experience, Ana Berliner, the charming owner of Casa da Cisterna and her great team have prepared a surprise: a wilderness dinner atop a mountain overlooking Spain. Simple and elegant: one of the best memories of my stay in the Center!

Intimate

The more I travel, fewer places where instantly, I feel really good! Beyond the decor, it is first a question of energy, space and light. Upon entering my room, I had this reassuring diffused sensation of clarity, sharpness and sweetness.

Each room is decorated differently. The facilities are new, with separate shower and toilet, and the bedding is impeccable. In a weekend, I removed 15 days of insomnia :)) Photo below: the golden morning light and breakfast on the terrace. I never tire of the view!

My balcony

Beautiful view of the center of Courchevel 1850 village! I arrived at the White 1921 Courchevel from La Tania in the morning. Time to meet the bubbly general manager of this new hotel of 26 rooms and take a swimsuit (for my day spa in Aquamotion) and I went for lunch with Nathalie at Nikki Beach (next post).

In the early evening, I returned at the hotel like a whirlwind, to get dressed for the dinner (and I was late!). Late at night, I finally discovered my suite and fell in love with the balcony, view, carpet (with my red stiletto), decor and bed … and the slightly sloping ceiling and couch and … well everything!

The Design

A Graphic Cocoon

I didn’t want to leave! So the second night I forget the restaurant to lazily stay in the so comfy bed. The pillows and duvet are fantastic too!

The sleek style of the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte creates a universe where it feels both very relaxed and a little star (sorry not sorry, lol!). On the photo montage: Schuss, the chic magazine about mountain a journalist friend offered me.

The Bathroom

White And Rectilinear

The bathroom has no fancy. Everything is in the details: soft bathrobes and towels (photo above). The inside of the two sewing and cotton boxes have the same design as on the walls of the room and the hotel’s website (1).

The Acqua di Parma bath products: soaps make soft skin and remind me of the Sungai Gold in Bali (2). The minimalist equipment (l4). And especially the smart flush (3).

Good Night Courchevel!

Vila Vita Parc, Portugal: A Luxury Suite in Algarve

Posted on May 31, 2014 | Leave a comment

We arrived in the early evening       

at Vila Vita Parc under a mixed sky, after 2h30 drive. It’s raining! It seems we have left the heat in Lisbon! The Algarve is a region of southern Portugal, supposed to be more sunny than rainy.                     

We were dropped in karting in front of our Oasis Suite Premium Rooftop which overlooks the gardens and the main building currently under renovation (photo below).

The night falls quickly,

I can’t see the gardens. The property seems huge … Lovely surprise entering the room: beautiful orchids and flowers with a bottle of Portuguese champagne greet us!  

The decoration is classic and comfortable: white walls, spotless bedding and fast wifi. There are also small fireplace and a large dressing. I feel good and enjoy the sheen of discreet luxury.

A book of the Leading Hotels of The World                       

whose the Vila Vita Parc is a member, is placed on a secretary. I flip through the Vila Vita Parc’s magazines, the articles of various restaurants, beaches and activities we discover tomorrow.            

In the large bathroom, Villeroy & Boch sanitary and Portuguese traditional tiles and soap dish: I really like the Claus regressive packaging and excellent conditioner. Claus is a famous soap brand from Porto.

The suite has two bedrooms.

Too happy to chat about our latest adventures up more time, we fell asleep in the big bed of the main room. The second room will be a supplemental dressing room and office, LOL!    

Woke up at 10am in beautiful sunshine. And here is the little building with our first floor suite and superb rooftop terrace with Moroccan lamps.       

On my way to the breakfast, I discover thousand lush green plants! Green vertigo and I haven’t seen the ocean yet … To be continued ….
