Boutique Hotel Matera
Matera is the first Southern Italian city to be recognized as a European Capital of Culture (2019). The town, abandoned for more than 40 years after the II World War and cut off from the modern economy, was one of the poorest cities in Europe. People lived in caves ‘sassi’ (literally ‘stones’) carved out of […]

boutique hotels in Puglia
Although they say ‘it’s not the destination that’s important but the person you share your journey with‘, may I suggest that the place where you stay plays a huge role, especially if you are traveling to Puglia? Break away from usual hotels and look for a “Masseria”, which is a restored farmhouse from 16th-18th centuries […]
Liguria was not love at first sight, like for everyone else! It was wintertime and we were having a team-building trip. So, off we went to Liguria, staying at a former monastery, nestled on the first line of hills above Levanto and with amazing sea-views. Unfortunately, with no heating. The hiking was fabulous, however quite […]

High up on the border with Austria, in north-eastern Italy’s South Tyrol, the stark and jagged Dolomites are mysterious mountains seemingly hewn into towers and pinnacles of rock. This year you can enjoy a beautiful Easter break skiing […]
The best of Italian food
‘There is no better food than the Italian one!’ this is the unanimous opinion of all Italians. The topic becomes hot when you ask those from the South, the North, the islands and everyone has his own list. I guess the secret of the best Italian food is in the fresh ingredients produced near the […]
Boutique hotel liguria

Travel designer to plan holidays in Sicily
I can’t wait to share an abstract from the travel diary of three friends I had helped to design a 3-day trip in Sicily! Here are the best of their experiences,  ‘wows’ and eureka moments. ♣DAY 1 The sunny Sicilian morning turns into a film-set flash storm, but as quickly as it arrives, it’s gone. […]
Tuscany road trip
I feel extraordinarily happy and energized every time I return to Tuscany. Local people are extremely friendly; the centers of the little towns are dotted by a lot of delicious trattorias and fresh markets to try traditional Tuscan cuisine.
