At the beginning of April we said arrivederci to our biggest group of guests to date (a family of 5!) who came to visit for their spring break. They survived as we dragged them through the craziness of Naples, coastal drives, and day trips to see pieces of Rome. One cool experience we had was…
Two more charming Amalfi Coast cities: the more popular Ravello with its beautiful gardens and villas, and the lesser visited Atrani with its peaceful piazza, beach, and fisherman’s feel. Both with astounding coastal views and delicious anchovies!
For many, Sunday’s are usually a day of rest. However, I still find those days peaceful whil wandering around local cities and exploring. It’s a perfect time to leisurely walk around but still uncover more historical sites- especially when our backyard is Italy! This particular gorgeous Sunday was spent in Pozzuoli, a town just outside…
It’s kind of a crazy thing to say but I think this was the first time I was able to take advantage of the “free museum entry on one Sunday of the month” deal. On Women’s Day, I grabbed my best girl and we headed down to the archaeological museum in Naples. It was the…
Sulmona, Abruzzo. An absolute gem!! This town is famous for being the birthplace of the Roman poet, Ovid, & their confetti (colorful candy-covered almonds). March was the perfect time to visit! Surrounded by the Appenine Mountains every road seemed to have a snow-covered mountain backdrop; the streets were lined with gorgeous churches, fountains, and statues;…
I have been to this (very) hidden store multiple times, and each time I find more AMAZING things!! Vinciprova Murano Glass is an outlet store in Caserta. It’s located in what appears to be a huge building that was once full of offices and/or stores. It is now mostly abandoned with overgrown grassy areas, but…
A foggy morning train ride through the countryside brought us to a city about an hour outside Paris. We walked around the empty town, before everyone’s opening hour. A peaceful place where people leisurely mingled. We walked through the breathtaking cathedral where French kings were once crowned and destruction hit with WWI. We found the…
An estate whose origins date back to the 17th century and is full of history- once a hunting lodge, a seat of power, and now a museum. Spread over 800 hectares, we focused on exploring the palace full of artwork, royal residences, the infamous “Hall of Mirrors,” and its gardens with its fountains and orangery…
Two weeks after my dream trip to Egypt, I was able to accompany a good friend on one of her dream trips! Hello again, France. SO much bread, SO many laughs, and SO much walking. Trips on the metro, trains, and planes. Going to bed late and waking up whenever. Boutique hotel, historical places, and…
A smaller hike close to home but still full of beauty with its wild fennel lined paths and views of Procida, Ischia, and Vesuvio! The Path of the Lighthouse winds its way along the clifftop with views of the Capo Miseno Lighthouse (hence the path name). It was builded at the beginning of the 19th century,…
