Best Western Plus Net Tower, Padova

13/02/2019 Written by Helen

We often drive around the outskirts of Padova (Padua) when we travel back to Istria from Italy. We’ve always found it – even with Google Maps – quite a perplexing city to get out of. It’s not a big city, but the outskirts are a bit on the confusing side, so we generally use the […]

Centro Paolo VI

Centro Paolo VI

I suppose the name should have given it away – Paul VI – but we just didn’t cotton onto the nature of this hotel. We wanted somewhere to stay in the Centro Storico in Brescia and when we googled accommodation, this hotel just stood out. The architecture and interiors looked amazing – OK, the rooms […]

Boatel Marina, Rijeka

We do like to find unusual places to stay on our travels, and so on a recent trip to Rijeka, in Croatia, we were intrigued by Botel Marina – a unique boat hotel, moored in the marina, right in the city centre. The website describes it as a unique combination of “a boat with a […]

Ca’ Amadi, Venice

Ca’ Amadi, Venice

We’ve only fairly recently acquainted ourselves properly with Venice. We tend to try and avoid over-priced, tourist traps with street vendors waiting to pounce. Yes, it can be over-priced – but if you do insist on having a drink in St Mark’s Square, what else can you expect? It is very touristry in places – […]

The Andalucian Pods

We can just never resist a trip to Los Caracoles, whenever we are in the Nerja/Frigiliana area – the “Snail” hotel with pod-like rooms and suites is just super-cute and this time we had amazing weather. In the past we have stayed on a Friday or a Saturday evening and have been able to dine […]

A Return Visit

So, as soon as we arrived back from Los Caracoles, I had to check if a suite was available later in the week, because we’d been so enchanted by out stay here. And, we were in luck! £53 via Booking.com for a suite – living room, double bedroom, large bathroom with corner bathroom and private […]

Holiday Fever

Holiday Fever

Fortunately, when we booked a night’s accommodation in Algehro, Sardinia, I was looking more at the room/bathroom/reviews than the name, and so really only realised when the confirmation email came through that the name was so awful. I mean, “Holiday Fever“… However, we could not have been more pleasantly surprised by Holiday Fever – and […]

Booking Hotels…

Sometimes, if you’re travelling, you just have to do it onine, and you have to go with your gut instinct. Sometimes you get it spot on – just as we did in Matera and Rimini. But sometimes it doesn’t quite work out, and all we can do is share our experience so that you can […]

Hotel Basiliani

The amazing Matera, in the region of Basilicata, in southern Italy, is going to have a blog post all of its own because it is quite simply, one the most incredible places we visited recently. This blog however, is all about Hotel Basiliani – a real modern jaw dropper, built into the rocks of the […]

Siorra Vittoria

UPDATE – SEPTEMBER 2014 Once again, we found ourselves pulled towards the magic of Paxos, after travelling around Sardinia, and so when we had a night’s stop-over in Corfu town, we couldn’t resist Hotel Siorra Vittoria again. Sometimes, when you don’t have long to spend somewhere, the familiar is a great option – and we […]
