Belgium, Brussels, Corinthia Hotels, Luxury Hotels, Luxury TravelDecember 30, 2024136Views 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…

"My dream is that the dish must arrive on the table frank and sincere, without showing any effort in the execution". I first met chef Fulvio Pierahgelini in 2008 which is 16 years ago from now. Well, we both went long way since then. Mine was not as starry as Fulvio's, but no regrets.…

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…

Taranto. Vintage cars.

Taranto is a town in Puglia which is still to be recovered and replaced to travel map. Still one of those Italian towns where you can buy house for 1 euro with obligation to restore it. Which is not an easy task. Taranto has tons of character in it, but it will take sometimes before…

Matera. Basilicata.

I always wanted to visit Matera, and when it finally happened, my expectations were high. The town is claimed to be the 3rd oldest urban settlement in the world still existing, and its believed to be inhabited for 3 millennia - can you imagine?. It started as cave living, and the Sassi, ancient town of…

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…

Morocco as it is.

Authentic Luxury, Marrakech, Mindset, MoroccoSeptember 27, 2024363Views 0Likes 0Comments

I've been travelling to Morocco quite few times, and, to be honest, my first time was a hesitation. I didn't really know what to expect, and I was kind of not sure if Arabic culture is my cup of tea. I remember my very first visit to Medina of Marrakech on my own, everything…

Where to stay in Marrakech – Four Seasons Marrakech

Four Seasons, jetset lifestyle, Luxury Hotels, Luxury Travel, Marrakech, MoroccoSeptember 23, 2024544Views 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…
