Belgium, Brussels, Corinthia Hotels, Luxury Hotels, Luxury TravelDecember 30, 2024626Views 0Likes 0Comments

Belgium in total, and Brussels in particular, is definitely underestimated travel destination. How much do you really know about it? Beer, chocolate, french fries, European Union headquarters, some may be watched black comedy "In Bruges"... Well, not that much. Few years back I made journey through Flemish part of Belgium, but that worth another…

This is another, and very remarkable, new addition to Riviera Maya Marriott presence. If you are not familiar with Edition brand, there are couple of words to explain. "Life style" brands have been emerging recently here and there, and you may know few, but Marriott went little bit further and introduced "LUXURY life style" brand.…

I'll be honest, I was not very lucky with whether the time I was staying at St Regis Kanai. It was heavenly warm, but overcast. Well, it happens. But walking along the beach with my camera, collecting shells to the pocket of my shorts, watching the birds, feet in warm surf, seven or fifty seven…

Banyan Tree Mayakoba

Mayakoba is a special place. One of those which were created to be unique, different, sustainable, and luxurious for those who understand and appreciate the nature. Don't take me wrong, but Mayakoba beach is not the best in Riviera Maya. It is swimmable, but not ideal for someone who's been to many amazing beaches. And…

Basilicata. Maratea. Terra incognita.

When my clients say "oh, I've been to Italy", I laugh saying I've been there too. Can't really count how many times, but every time was (and is) a discovery of something I've never seen and experienced before. It can be little chapel few steps off the touristy zone in Florence or... it can be…

Hotel Sanasaryan Han, Marriott Luxury Collection, is a brand new addition to array of Istanbul 5 star properties. I had chance to sample it recently, and I found it marvellous, and easy to recommend. If it is your first time in the city, if you wish to tick its main landmarks, but not ready to…

Four Seasons, jetset lifestyle, Luxury Hotels, Luxury Travel, Marrakech, MoroccoSeptember 23, 20241KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I was staying in most of Marrakech luxury properties, so beautifully different from each other, and somehow Four Seasons Marrakech is one of my favourites. Well, it is very Four Seasons, and it may luck charming authenticity some other local hotels offer. With all respect to local flavour, it is a modern resort, and if…

Authentic Luxury, Luxury Hotels, Luxury Travel, Marrakech, MoroccoSeptember 21, 2024936Views 1Like 0Comments

Marrakech has so many options to stay that you really need advice of someone who sampled this and that, who knows pluses and minuses of each location and much more. I'm the one. Through the years, I experienced most of luxury hotels of Marrakech, from authentic Medina riads to royal properties and high-branded resorts. …

I've been visiting Morocco year after year for luxury travel conference in Marrakech called PURE and dedicated to authentic travel experiences, and every time I've been trying to explore another piece of this fascinating country of so many dimensions.

Villa la Massa, in and out Florence

Authentic Luxury, Florence, Italy, Luxury Hotels, Luxury Travel, TuscanyJuly 29, 2024918Views 0Likes 0Comments

This property is in location which needs to be explained because it is somehow in and out one of my favourite cities in the world, Florence. In, because you are just 10-15 minutes ride from historical city centre by complimentary shuttle bus. Out, because staying at Villa la Massa, you would never believe bustle of…

Dreaming of Sorrento

You might know this feeling of being Alice in Wonderland, little child exploring enchanted world on the other side of the mirror, so unreal, so out of common and simply beautiful... That was exactly what I felt when I arrived first time, more than 10 years ago, to Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento. I've…
