Vigilius Mountain Resort: A Room At The Top Of Mountain

Posted on June 16, 2012 | Leave a comment

The Room Is Spacious

No TV and very few fournitures as I like, almost monastic. After a very long day, between the airports, the road from Munich to Lana via Merano, the stunning scenery of the Adige valley and Dolomiti … and a private cable car to access the Vigilius Mountain Resort, a stylish ecolodge at 1500 meters altitude, surrounded by nature: finally I can sit and relaxe.

Far from the world and crowds, I disconnect. No laptop (what a challenge!), nothing! From the huge window, the view is just breathtaking. High mountains covered with virgin forests. In the dark dawning, the air is fresh, pure and invigorating. I can spend hours here contemplative, but I have a dinner at 1500 Restaurant (beautifull view at breakfast).

The morning, around 6 a.m., my room is bathed in a soft red light, first rays of sunlight piercing clouds, the view is spectacular (pictures 5 and 1)! Difficult to get out of bed (spotless bedding), to join the spa and enjoy the pool at the opening.

Les Etangs De Corot: The Bucolic Hotel Near Paris

Posted on December 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

Following my previous post

about the Paul and Joe’s Suite in the hotel Les Etangs de Corots : here the outsides I really enjoyed. A sweet incentive to contemplation and farniente (yes, just doing nothing!). Yes, even the fashion addict in me, needs relaxing breaks (lol!). The iPod plays Zara McFarlane (a London jazzy discovery, in a coming-up post).

Picture 1 : like in the South of de France (and Marcel Pagnol’s books), I feel totally de-stressed and so far away from the Paris cacophony (a bless!). Picture 2 : the room balcony calming view of ponds. Picture 3 : a listed guinguette from the late 19th or the beginning of the 20th century! Like in Renoir ou Carné’s movies with Arletty (a famous French actress and muse). Pictue 4 : the sleek covered deck of Café des Artistes, for a tasteful lunch, chatting with another ardent traveler, Pauline Pawlowski (last picture 5). I gave you this charming adress, please kept it confidential!

Les Etangs De Corot, A Suite Designed By Paul & Joe

Posted on December 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

The lovely Paul & Joe‘s junior suite @ Les Etangs de Corots, the bucolic hotel of the Caudalie Spa near Paris. For a great relaxing week-end in a beautiful sourroundings with the ponds of Corot (Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was a famous impressionist painter). The Paul & joe suite isespecially dedicated to the fashion addicts, hit by Peter Pan’s syndrome (teenager for ever)! The suite designed by Sophie Abou, the founder and fashion designer of Paul & Joe, is fasely naive and really feminine : mixing a bit of vintage, bright colours (good for mood), nippon details and African graphic stool. There is also a small balcony with a view to the ponds. What a pity the frames on the wall aren’t real pictures! But the whole decoration brings a touch of lightness (I mean, with an easy going feeling), the perfect match to continue the benefits of the Caudalie spa.
