437. ​This post is dedicated and part of the OTHER CITIES section. You know how much I am passionate about travelling and discovering new cultures. Only through learning and appreciating the difference of other cultures we will learn how to be humble and learn how rich humanity is. In this case my latest trip to Amsterdam I would like to share this lovely discovery we made: Blue Spoon in the Andaz hotel. This lovely place offering fine European cuisine was a treasure within the city. This lovely and quaint restaurant is located in this sweet boutique hotel with only over 11 rooms with an exquisite decoration done by Marcel Wanders, including a secret garden inspires in Alice in Wonderland. Did you think of why it’s called Bluespoon? The inspiration was from a regular visitor who just loved spending time in the hotel decoration and inspiring others in the chicness of fashion! Check out the whole story!

 428. In our "OTHER CITIES" section of the blog I wanted to share with you a hidden jewel: Upon walking in crazy hot Mykonos this summer suddenly an oasis appeared. A white and clean and really colorful bright light caught my eye: The Liberty Breakfast Room. This sweet restaurant located in one of the island´s hills is an adorable place with not only the friendliest Greek staff but incredible and delicious yet nutritious dishes. It is probably the best humus I have ever tested: with hazelnut. Beautiful presentation with a stunning view over Mykonos Island, Superb!

Michelin Star up in the North: VIGO

29/5/2017

417. Michelin Starts are all over the place. Our latest discovery: Maruja Limón Located up north in Vigo - Galicia. This cozy restaurant is not only very intimate but its concept is quite unique. They have open restaurants with reservations only as well as a closed bar where the head chef serves you directly. 
We had the Vegetarian menu for 33€ per person and it was lovely. My favorite was the egg as well the best part always: dessert! Their petit fours were also not only beautifully presented but delicious! 
I loved the fact that they made their own water and they would make you sure you had plenty of it during the whole meal which i loved, since i am always thirsty for water! Lovely wine list and beautiful and modern decor. Definitely a must if you are in that part of the world!

Most Wonderful Boutique Hotel in Portsmouth UK

19/4/2017

0 Comments

 
402. This past Easter I had the pleasure of staying in one of the most delightful hotels I have ever stayed in my life: Stattons Hotel from the Mercer Collection at Portsmouth-UK. 
This hotel has six building plus a brand New Gastro-Pub with the most delicious traditional pub food not only excellently presented but with an exquisite taste. 
The hotel is so conveniently located near the beach, shops, restaurants, amenities and the Gunwharf Quays  with plenty of high street shops and trendy restaurants. Don´t miss the Spinnakertower, where the highest floor reaches 105 meters of altitude and enjoy the best views of Portsmouth and its bay.
This boutique hotel started with one building  and now has expanded to more than 6 buildings within the area with parking included.
The most amazing thing about this hotel is its staff! So friendly, polite with an incredible attention to detail particularly from Susana. She not only personally supervised all our stay but she chose our room according to our needs. The room was so sweet, incredibly clean and tastefully designed. With such peaceful colours and comfortable bed. She is an incredible asset to the company as she goes the extra mile at all times to ensure guests have the most comfortable and wonderful stay while staying at a Mercer´s hotel.
The breakfast is delicious with a wide variety of choice freshly cooked served in the restaurant located on the ground floor. We were so pleasantly surprised that the room amenities were from the Occitane which I personally love! 
The whole experience was 5 Stars and particularly the service and staff was the cherry on the cake, making our wonderful stay just magical! A BIG thank you to Susana, Sandra, Bee, Gosia, Monica and Ellie! We will never forget Stattons and its entire staff! xx

394. Doesn´t your heart pop when you see an old goodie restaurant that closed,  back open again? This is what happened to me this past weekend when I saw: Il Porto. This wonderful popular Pizzeria in the beautiful port of Mahon has now reopened with brand new management. The decoration is really what caught our eye from the outside. Super modern decor yet cozy and romantic. Amazing pizzas, wonderful friendly staff and amazing starters like: calamari, chipirones and pimientos del padron. We reserved a table and we were kindly accompanied to our table where a heart with my name with the amount of people in my group was waiting for me. That just killed me! I was in love! Beautiful furniture, food and location, 5 stars!! *****  (pictures from menorcatour.com)

380. Sometimes you just feel like escaping from the urban world in search of nature! Barcelona has these fantastic mountains just an hour and a half always in which you can just get lost in its beauty. La Cerdanya is a wonderful natural habitat in which the magical place I am about to describe is located La Torre del Remei. 
I used to pass by it whenever I would go skiing from a very young age, until I reach my teenager years and my extremely generous parents decided to take me and my brother for dinner. After more than 15 years i have now gone back with my sweetheart and it is indeed enchanting. The entrance seems like a breathtaking castle, the nature, the decoration, the energy, the people..Everything from La Torre del Remei is not only luxurious but above all magical!! This Relais Chateux hotel covers 3 hectares of breathtaking forest with 11 suites. Their restaurant is to die for with chef: Josep Maria Boix offers supreme dishes which you will think you have just found heaven on earth!

205. Menorca has indeed amazing gastromy. It certainly used to be top but unfortunately the economic crisis swept away most restaurants. Now slowly but surely the resurrection of many of them are taking place. This is the case of Sa Pedrera des Pujol. An amazing country style restaurants located in Torret - Menorca. Their menu is stunning and their dishes presentation superb. The staff is super friendly yet professional and the taste of all is to die for. The bread seems made out of butter as it melts in your mouth, the butter is uniquely tasteful and their desserts heaven on earth. Must try! Don´t leave Menorca without booking a table and proving that all my descriptions in nothing but the truth!

142. Let’s start the New Year with a Magical Place we came across this winter holidays in Andorra! Andorra is a fun, shopping meets skiing experience a must if you are in Barcelona). 
I know this place by heart already however this past time i came across this cute restaurantc called EL REFUGI  which caught my eye walking down the street, I peeked and it looked so cute I couldn’t resist reserving. They don’t take dinner reservations so they advise you to be there by 20H for the 20:30H dinner and boy was it worth it! The place is even better than i had imagined! It was an old traditional restaurant which has been recently refurbished and it just looks magical. i have been reading the reviews from other people and I really do not agree, the place is just lovely, super clean, super modern yet cozy, the food is to die for: Raclattes, fondues, Lovely Soups... just an adorable place to relax and be blown away by its gastronomical magic!

113. Sometimes you just feel like unwinding and chilling out in a quiet and peaceful place. In The Castel de l´Oliver there is a beautiful story tale castle which is just ideal if you are in that mood. A Wonderful last century surroundings which just brings you tranquility to your mind. Very close to the famous 3 Michelin Star Carme Ruscalleda Restaurant San Pau. 
The history behind this castle is also amazing! It used to be the summer house of Miláns del Bosch(famous military in Spain for the 23F episode.)

Who said there is only fast food served in Disneyworld?           

9/9/2015

49. This is probably one of the most amazing restaurants I have even gone to!! Perhaps because I was really not expecting how lovely the whole experience was going to be! We were looking a special place to celebrate my birthday whole visiting Disneyworld and I came up with California Grill on the top floor of the Contemporary Resort in Disneyworld Orlando. This gorgeous place is not only perfectly presented but the food is to die for. The initial walk in is by taking the hotel´s elevator all the way to the top floor where a hostess greets you. While we were waiting for our table we had a drink at the bar. The Bar tender was so professional he knew so many cocktails, we had a pina colada (alcohol free) and a Mimosa (champagne & orange juice, (both delicious). When we sat our table we looked at the menu and is so diverse you would actually go with anyone, family friends, work... anyone! We chose Sushi of course! It was so fresh!!! To die for! The bread also was incredible only comparable to that of the one in Burj Al Arab in Dubai and the Celler De Can Roca (Lavander focaccia... oh my god!!! The place is heaven on earth!! Reservation is a must!
