What a treat, a day and night away at Hotel Navis, in Opatija, is. Built into a cliff-face, and with all rooms overlooking the sea, it is situated between Rijeka and Volosko, on Preluk Bay – and for us, not too far away from our home in Istria. We spotted the hotel on one of […]

Brondo Architect Hotel, Palma
Over the last few years, we’ve been very lucky to be able to pack in a huge amount of travel – as well as actually move abroad, relocating from Manchester to Istria, in northern Croatia. We’ve spent the last couple of years renovating a stone house and exploring our new environment. But, one place has […]
Hotel Grand Wiesler, Graz
Sometimes, you see somewhere online and you just have to go. No matter what. This happened recently when I discovered the website for the Hotel Grand Wiesler, in Graz, in the Styria region of southern Austria.

11 Didsbury Park

We’ve stayed at Didsbury House previously and have attended weddings there, and it really, really does have the wow factor. On this trip, we were also attending a wedding in Didsbury and […]

We’re very lucky that our circumstances allow us to be flexible and so we’re always on the look-out […]
Hotel Le Dune
Before we went on our Italian travels last year, I blogged about a Sardinian hotel I’d found in Herbert Ypma’s “Hip Hotels – Italy”. Hotel Le Dune. This hotel is an insight into Sardinia’s mining past. It is described as “a tiny outpost of style and comfort in the middle of an inhospitable wilderness” – […]
Riad Mimouna
This is riad is quite simply, stunning. Located right on the sea walls, and converted from a very grand 19th century residence, you just could not have a better place to stay in Essaouira. The entrance to the riad is breath-taking – hand carved thuya wooden ceilings, stained glass windows, mosaic tiled walls and floors, […]
A funky find in Rimini…
DuoMo Hotel, Via g. Bruno 28, 47921 Rimini, Italy This hotel was another amazing find. We booked one night online, trusting our gut instinct and wow! Upon arrival we immediately booked a second night as we knew this was going to be something very special. “What would please Me Most in a hotel is not […]
