Bed & Breakfast Gallipoli – Santa Venardìa

8 06 2008

Gallipoli it is surely a place where to go for a relaxing holiday, however being an historical place, can be considered also for cultural visits too, just to mention, the Angioino Castle, the beautiful fountain of Greek origin and much more.

Gallipoli in fact has a long history, first being under Greek domination. Indeed however, the main reason of visitors nowadays is the beautiful crystal clear Sea with its sandy beaches.

 

A good accommodation can be the Bed & Breakfast Santa Venardìa because it is really close to the Sea. If you go with a family or you are with some friends all together I would suggest to try their apartment which is really comfortable and includes 2 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and balcony. The private parking facility is very comfortable for those arriving by car. Gallipoli is reacheable by plane with the closest airport in Brindisi, by train with Trenitalia until Lecce and then changing to ferrovie sud/est.

Florence Hotels – Villa I Barronci – San Casciano Val di Pesa

7 06 2008

 

 

 

The hills nearby Florence are something to be seen at least once, tranquillity, beautiful landscapes, delicious Italian food are only some of the main reasons to spend some time here, but I guess once tested it will be hard not to dream a return! One of the most typical accommodation in Tuscany is surely the “ Agriturismo “ a farm holiday, Villa I Barronci is a place to stay, I would say a must, located in the splendid San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the Florence’s hills where famous Chianti vineyards grows.

 

The name of I Barronci has an ancient tradition taken from the very first owners of the place on the XII century, nowadays this beautiful building is at disposal offering rooms standard, superior and even beautiful suites, all with private bathroom, soundproof, air conditioning and heat, mini bar facility and wired internet , in sum all the in-room commodities of a nice modern structure supporting any kind of need. Breakfast is served every morning with incredibly amount of fresh products, fruits, home made brioches cakes and so on… in the evening at the restaurant in a friendly atmosphere, typical local dishes are served all accompanied with superb local wines, from Chianti Classico (of course) to Brunello di Montalcino or any other “super Tuscan”!.

 

A special mention I have to reserve it to the beautiful open air swimming pool, with a corner dedicated to hydro massage, the beauty of this place is hard to be explained in words !

 

San Casciano in Val di Pesa is very close to Florence only about 15 Km, but even the rest of the most important Tuscany cities are not far.

 

There would be much more to say about this charming Florence Hotel, but I strongly suggest a visit so that you will be able to experience personally.

Agriturismo Al-Marnich –Farm House Como Lake

6 06 2008

A holiday in Como is always a great surprise, nice landscapes at the famous lake and the possibility to visit superb villas like Balbianello or Carlotta with a short boat ride, impressive churches, botanic gardens, but even a simple along side lake walk it is surely something to do. The Farm House Al-Marnich is a great place from where to experience all the above mentioned activities, its great location, only 15 minutes away from Como lake and not far from Milan or Lugano in Swtizerland make this farm house easily reachable.

 

In any case I believe Al-Marnich is a good reason by its self to go and visit, nicely completely restored rooms, some with fireplace, terrace or balconies, all contributes to create a romantic place, rooms can be provided with ADSL connection on demand and  is able to organise trekking excursions. A great mention has to be done to the typical regional cuisine offering obviously fresh local products, cheese, meat (prepared in the great wooden owen) and needles to say a variety of great local wines.
