February 20, 2019 by Simon Leave a Comment

Alba White Truffle Hunting With Dog

Hunting the white truffle in Alba: The International Alba White Truffle Fair is one of the main events showcasing Italian luxury gastronomy of the Langhe-Roero region.  Listed as a UNESCO cultural landscape since 2014, the region is known not just for the rare white truffle but for fields of hazelnut trees and for vineyards cultivating […]

Perfect Pesto

April 30, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 22 Comments

Perfect Pesto

Italians do it better –  Pesto World Championships, Genoa, Italy: It stands to reason that Italians should make the best Pesto in the World. A simple fusion of two kinds of cheese, garlic, basil, olive oil, pine nuts and salt sounds on the face of it like something that could easily be recreated anywhere.  But, […]

Vicenza – Birthplace of Palladian Architecture

July 28, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 38 Comments

Vicenza Rooftop Bar Basilica Paladiana

Vicenza –  Laced with History and Thriving with Life: It was over ten years ago that I first briefly visited Vicenza, for not much more than a lunch break, while we were travelling from Venice to Lake Garda.  I was totally charmed and vowed to return.  By chance, at the time I was planning this […]

Living the Dream at the Lido Palace Hotel, Lake Garda

June 26, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 24 Comments

Lido Palace Exterior

The Lido Palace Hotel, Riva del Garda: What makes a hotel ultra luxury?  For me, it’s end-to-end perfection – a place where from the moment you reach the entrance you are living the dream.  The perfect setting helps too and Riva del Garda, a small town in the northern part of Lake Garda,  is a […]

Exploring the Italian Riveria – Part 2: out and about in Liguria

May 13, 2017 by Sarah James 15 Comments

Liguria Holiday Homes - Alessio walk

A Ligurian Adventure: What is there to do in Liguria and the Italian Riveria in March? The week we stayed there, the forecast was for rain all week, so we planned and packed for all eventualities, but were incredibly lucky. We only saw rain on our final day in France, and managed to be inside […]

Exploring the Italian Riveria – A Stay at Liguria Holiday Homes in Pigna Part 1: The house and Pigna

April 10, 2017 by Sarah James 14 Comments

Thumbnail Staircase Liguria

Medieval Magic at Pigna, Liguria and the Italian Riviera: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a medieval house?  In odd moments of musing, I have, but my thoughts never encompassed something as old on the outside, but complete with all modern day luxuries on the inside, as the house […]

Eat, Sleep Do in Garda Trentino

February 18, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 19 Comments

View

Recommended Places to Stay, Things to Do and Food to Eat in Garda Trentino: Last year’s trip to Riva del Garda and the surrounding region – Garda Trentino was ostensibly a food trip.  Somehow, though, we managed to pack in a lot more, despite dining in some fabulous restaurants and I suspect that any visitor […]

Three Reasons to Visit Cortina

January 5, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 20 Comments

Cortina from the mountains

Snow, Food and Fashion – Cortina Style: I’m not a great fan of the listicle.  But sometimes, just sometimes, I travel somewhere and there are clear and distinct things which make that place special.  Cortina is such a place.  For me at least, there were three things which really marked out this charming Italian ski […]

Exploring The Heritage of Garda Trentino

January 1, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 13 Comments

Sunset over lake Garda from Al Fortino

Garda Trentino – Mountains, Lakes, History and Passion: Last year’s trip to Garda Trentino came with a few surprises for me.  Living in the UK, I tend to forget how dramatically the shape of mainland Europe has changed over the centuries.  It’s easy enough to remember those changes which have happened within my lifetime, but […]

Stile Italiano – Hotel Ambra Cortina:

December 22, 2016 by Fiona Maclean 26 Comments

Hotel Ambra Cortina Luxury Room

No Need to Ski to enjoy Hotel Ambra Cortina: There are moments when I wonder just what I am doing.  Like Bridget Jones, I don’t ski.  And, my personal style, if you can call it that, is distinctly British – an ageing, rather cuddly English rose if you are feeling kind.  All sorts of things […]
