Alicudi and Filicudi—the smallest, wildest, and most remote of the seven Aeolian Islands —are like twin sisters. Different twins, distant from the other “sister islands”, yet united by both their geographic location and the beauty of their land, sparsely populated and rugged. And perhaps precisely for this reason, they are stunning. Here, it truly feels […]
After the Maldives and Hawaii comes this tiny Caribbean archipelago. Among the paradises of the wealthy, St Kitts and Nevis is perhaps one of the most accessible, even for those who aren’t exactly billionaires. With the right information and a little foresight, even those with limited means can spend a few days in this corner […]
Ventimiglia is a town located in the far western part of the Italian region Liguria and… no! It has nothing to do with measuring distance – the translation of the name is literally “twenty miles”, even if you might thing so! Its name derives from the Latin word Albintimilium (hence Bintimilium, Ventimilium), formed from “albom” […]
Vietri sul Mare (Vietri-on-Sea), in the district of Salerno, was “someone’s property” for a long time. It might have been the first Etruscan-Samnite commercial port in Campania. In the Middle Ages, it became the port of reference for the large monastic complex of Badia di Cava, and finally a tourist port, linked for many years […]
Beyond the westernmost point of Sicily, beyond the confines of the western sea, the Egadi (Aegadian) Islands stand out against the Caribbean blue of a dreamy sea. You’re surely familiar with them, you’ve certainly heard of them, and the latest cinematic success—The Odyssey, by Nolan—partly filmed here has further relaunched them as a holiday destination. […]
England has a rich history dating back thousands of years and has been at the center of key events. We all know it as a nation, a fundamental part of the United Kingdom, rich in culture and modernity but never renouncing the elegance of a thousand-year-old royal history. London, Manchester, Liverpool… these are cities we’ve […]
Cerbère beach divides France from Spain. Or perhaps it unites them? We know for sure that the famous mythological dog guarding the Greek Hell (Cerberus) has nothing to do with the name of this place… which rather derives from ancient French terms meaning “rocks”… and we also know that a vacation here is worth the […]
Bogliasco is there, in a hidden corner of Liguria, on that gulf known as “Paradise” where small, magical glimpses are reflected in a crystal-clear sea unlike any other. No, we’re not at the Cinque Terre nor even Sanremo. There’s none of the “VIP” tourism of Portofino, because there are fewer tourist services here, but the […]
There’s no shortage of choice for beach lovers this summer. Europe once again holds the record for Blue Flags, a recognition that highlights the quality of both beach and sea, with new arrivals and long-standing confirmations. If you then consider that even the beaches without the recognition are usually stunning (even if they lack some […]
