“For sure a place I’ll miss and to where we’ll return in the future!” Two years ago I finished my article about Il Falconiere with this phrase, and it’s how I’ll start it today! In a short trip around Tuscany, last Autumn, we decided to return to Il Falconiere in Cortona, and if the first […]
This past winter we discovered the elegant Switzerland, and along with it, its wonderful hotels and flawless services. After Lucerne and Lausanne, we adventured into Geneva, and here found one of the most emblematic hotels in the country, the Hotel Metropole Genève. This historic building is more than a century and a half old and its […]
An imposing Belle Epoque palace, the singularity of a privileged view, and the art of welcoming, make of this Lausanne Palace one of the best hotels in Switzerland. Located in the heart of Lausanne, with the stamp of the Leading Hotels of the World, the Lausanne Palace was one of the best experiences I ever had […]
Located in the enchanted city of Lucerne in Switzerland, the Hotel des Balances is a four-star Boutique hotel, that could easily be a five! Being a part of the old town, the sensation is of being in another era, initially medieval but quickly we can identify very bohemian and cosmopolite features, being its restaurant one of the most trendy and elegant […]

Cléo de Mérode was a Belle Époque ballerina (let’s say it was the first It Girl there’s memory of!), her beauty inspired some of the most emblematic artists […]
In this constant search for luxury, we often find ourselves in the spotlights and glitter of the “see and be seen”. For me, that search ends, precisely, when I get this sick need to “show off”. Luxury is more than that, it’s discrete, intimate, the simple subtlety not everybody seems to understand. We no longer […]
It was the year of 2013, we were in a wine tasting waiting for our glasses to be filled with Quinta do Ameal Loureiro, and despite already knowing the wines, we hadn’t met their producer, Pedro Araújo. Nice, smiley, and very passionate in his words, after a good talk about his wines, he confessed us he […]
My charm for the Hyatt group grows stronger every time I stay in a new hotel. And so it happened in the renewed Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, during another pleasant stay in London. As the name indicates, this hotel was designed to transmit an authentic homage to the honorable Winston Churchill and all his […]
