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!

The Koh-I Nor in Val Thorens, France

My Room

During this long weekend in Val Thorens, I was really happy to discover the Koh-I Nor. The 5-star hotel overlooks the station. And in the morning I looked at the fog from my room balcony (photo 4 on the photo montage above). I was about to cancel my ski lesson, thinking there was no visibility on the slopes. While I equip myself, (obviously) fog disappeared!

The day before I went out until late. And as it was snowing, I couldn’t recognize the way back to the hotel (epic)! Fortunately, thanks to the impeccable bedding, I slept like a baby a few hours. The well-damped room is very comfortable. 

I also liked the woodwork, the view (beautiful late afternoon light on the mountains) and the Cinq Mondes amenities. Photos: 1. the hotel logo, 2. bedroom and 3. in the corridor, the carpet “surfs” between rooms. Fun!

The Spa

A Customized Massage

I arrived tired and tense at my spa appointment, without any idea of I wanted. I finally chose a facial massage and let my therapist, Manon decided what kind of treatment.

She mixed some: “ko bi do (the ancient technic of Japanese beauty), Chinese medicines and dermapuncture (acupuncture where needles are replaced with thumbs) technics” and a massage to relax the nervous system, with the Cinq Monde cosmetics. 

Fantastic! I felt asleep! Upon awakening, my face and neck are super relaxed. And my traits are deeply subsided, all tension is gone. This excellent massage is incredibly relaxing, thank you Manon!

Dinner @ Le Diamand Noir

Divine cuisine

For dinner, I joined a friend at Le Diamand Noir, one of the restaurants of the Koh-I Nor. Without being the finest gourmet, I appreciate novelty and originality: what about that dinner? Delicious!

What a pleasure to discover the cuisine of the Michelin starred Chef Eric Samson mixing different fine flavors with aromatic mountain herbs. The dishes are beautiful to look at and the service and decor are really good.  

As a starter, I took the seared foie gras with a lychee sorbet, the combination of the two is to die for! For the main course, fish with carrots and potimaron (photo 1 on the above assembly). And dessert, a beautifully presented chocolate-lychee ice cream (photo 4).
