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!

Dubai For 48 Hours: Dubai Heritage Village & Dubai Diving Village

After a long walk, including a thrilling taxi boat to the dark, I finally arrived at the Heritage Village and the Diving Village (photo 2). I quickly left the tourist attractions. I did a few snapshots of traditional houses run by women who cook or weave. And I joined friends at a terrace’s table of one of the restaurants located at the water’s edge. The view is unobstructed. Gentle breeze, you can easily forget the city and spend hours snacking Lebanese mezzes. But tonight we have a party at the Buddha Bar. So we move back to Jumeirah Beach for a quick stop at the hotel.
