Milano

Milano is recognised as the worlds capitol of fashion and design. Make no mistake the homeless are even well dressed. There is no place for Havaianas in Milan no matter what! Secondly a croissant and coffee will set you back 40 Euro in the Galleria. Surrounded by countless brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci and the rest a girl can hardly contain herself but you are paying on the Euro and it starts to sting. Best place in Milan for me is A Santa Lucio Restaurant. They make the best pizza. Everything in the restaurant is original from when they opened their doors opened in 1930, same chairs, same tables, same wall lamps and I suspect same pizza recipe. For a family, Milan is worth a visit but its not a family holiday destination.

Villa d'este Lake Como

"The Precise Location of Heaven on earth has never been established but it may very well be right here"

- Herb Caen. on his first visit to Villa d'Este.

World renowned for its sublime beauty and aura of enchantment. Lake Como in Northern Italy has inspired poets, writers and now bloggers. Simply my breath was taken away by beauty. For five centuries, visitors of celebrity, fortune and power have come to rest, revel and marvel at its beauty. Guest include Evita Peron, Frank Sinatra, Madonna, Caroline of Monaco and now me and as Robert De Niro passes me in the lobby I am tempted to give him the "Meet the Fockers" circle of trust hand single....

From its birth in 1568 it boasts and intriguing history filled with murder, passion and mystery. Im in love with it here, it like no other place on earth.

There is no place like home! Im just saying.... I love luxury travel and great food and wine. I also love nothing more than a fluffy white robes, turn down and room service. I like to experience different cultures and countries as long as I can return to a five star hotel on land or sea. Come travel with me....click click click
