Costa Neo Romantica: Cruise in Mediterranean

Posted on October 14, 2012 | 2 comments

Do you remember “The Love Boat”?

Well well, I tested for you… and guess what, I really enjoyed it, as crazy as it sounds! I would never (ever) have imagined a 5-day cruise in the Mediterranean on a boat with over a thousand people! You know, one of these floating-white-monsters-with-dozens-of-floors. 

The trip started early morning: flight to Milan, then bus to Navona (I didn’t see anything of the city) and I obediently board the Neo Costa Romantica ship of the Costa fleet. After nearly a day of transportation and a long time of mandatory safety (including all of us, crew and customers), I finally relax on the desert deck pools. Yes finally I realize I’m on the water, on the top of the boat and coasts away, exciting!

And here is the big egg in wicker (photo above) where far from everything and everyone, I could admire the postcard beautiful sunsets during all the cruise! Cia-cia-ciao bellissima Italia, domani sarà (tomorrow, it’s)… To be continued…

Hotel La Legende: A Stylish Breakfast in Brussels, Belgium

Posted on September 5, 2012 | Leave a comment

Exclusive, freshly renovated: some pictures of the “new” breakfast room in the charming Hotel La Legend. When you’re traveling, if you prefer feeling at home, here’s a rare address: a small family hotel with 27 rooms, including a nice studio in the attic, in the heart of Brussels. The hotel is located 10 minutes from the Sablons, one of my favorite neighborhoods and less than 5 minutes from the Grand Place, but away from crowds. I enjoy its calm and friendly atmosphere. And I really like the new design of the breakfast room: extremely simple in white ivory, chic and very contemporary. It was quite difficult for me to leave the room, as I felt relaxed and comfortable. When I’m traveling, breakfast is a very important time, where I plan my day to come. I need to find myself in an intimate and clear space. Just like here, with these large windows overlooking the courtyard which separates the noise from the street.

La Legende Hotel : 35 rue du Lombard, 1000 Brussels. Phone : +32 2 512 82 90. www.hotellalegende.com

Saint-Emilion Village in France

Posted on August 26, 2012 | Leave a comment

Another idea

for an early fall week-end (I know we just are at the end of August!), a postcard destination really close: the charming village of Saint-Emilion (in France).

I discovered Bordeaux and its region several months ago and now I’m a huge fan. Beyond the vineyards and the famous wine’s appellation, you defenitely have to visit the medieval village of Saint-Emilion! 

A really exciting place with its imposing monolithic church, the largest in Europe (pictures 2, 3 & 4) with more than 70 hectares of underground tunnels dug into the limestone. Not to be missed, this is absolutely awesome!

And for lovers of Bordeaux wines, click here.
