Il tre stance, Firenze
This kind of place is simply unique and hard to describe, but suffice to say that we won’t look further when staying in Florence. The property is a palazzo, with immensely high ceilings, meters from the Duomo. The interior has been considerately refurbished, leaving the traces of original stucco and furnished with antique or vintage furniture:...
Hotel Amour, Paris
One more entry in my tourist guide section… this one is dark and handsome, just like my other half
Puerto Natales
The gateway to Torres del Paine has a pretty good selection of hotels. We picked the Altiplanico because we had a great stay at the original one in San Pedro before. We where not disappointed by the Patagonia brother: nice ecofriendly architecture (with an interesting exterior insulation made with raw earth bricks), and home made feeling...
Jules Cesar hotel, Arles, by Christian Lacroix
Cesar was in great need of some TLC.. it got plenty, and flamboyantly, with a lavish refurbishment by Christian Lacroix.

Cooking and nature emotional hotel, Alvaros, Portugal
Although the name is not very glamorous, the place is absolutely perfect, and in the end, the title does describes it, partially. What it doesn’t say, is how well designed is the place, how large and cosy are the common spaces, and how glam the rooms actually are with floor to ceiling walls opening on...
CA Maria Adele, Venice
A friendly, stylish and sexy place in Venice, CA Maria Adele is definitely on the list for a romantic week-end. Renovated by Milanese duo Campa&Campa, it’s full of quirky ideas, warmth, softness comfort and individuality.. Attention to detail starts with the lobby that is simply a cosy reception room where you are checked in the...
Hotel Nord Pinus, Arles
A few pics from a delicious stay at the mythic hotel Nord Pinus in the heart of Arles
Las Haciendas de Yucatan
Vuelvo unos años atrás para presentarles unas haciendas de México en la península del Yucatán, donde hemos tenido la suerte de alojar. Además de ser unos lugares de vacaciones soñadas, me impresionaron por la cualidad y la precisión de la restauración, la integración de comodidades modernas dentro de edificios antiguos y la manera de volver a dar vida...
