Great small hotel on a secluded island in Tuscany. The setting is spectacular and the service is too. Get room 14 and enjoy a large terrace with amazing views
Get the cheese plate for dessert paired with a local sweet wine. Its excellent
sit outside under the terraces and enjoy a slice of pizza with the locals in Forte Dei Marmi
Get the pasta with the homemade pesto. Its excellent. Also, when you are done you can go up to the front and pay. Don't wait for a check as it may never come.
room was comfortable and clean. didn't love the location which felt a bit sketchy at night
situated beautifully on the lake. excellent rooms and service. i would recommend eating in places around the Lake and avoiding the food at the hotel. it's not great
go for the views, not the food. it's fine, but not exceptional. the views, on the other hand, are.
it's fun to walk the streets, grab an espresso at an outdoor cafe, and get the feel of this very old city on the lake
The view is to die for but the food is pretty great too. We had a shrimp carpaccio that was outstanding.
We did the nine course "creative" tasting menu and it was one of the best tasting menus we've done. Its quite expensive but worth every penny if you want to splurge for a fantastic foodie experience.
really great small hotel in a former monastery in the middle of the wine country in Peidmont. everything about it was excellent.
lots of great Chagall paintings to look at but my favorite thing was the tile mosaic wall by the reflecting pool
we got in for free. they have a great permanent collection and the views from the terrace at the top are fantastic
on monday mornings the town square is taken over by a market where you can buy all sorts of local products
Ask for room 207, which is in the steeple of the convent's church. Its a great room with a lovely view
get the veal. it's tied up in little rolls and it is delicious. we got a local Red wine to drink that was also excellent.
on tuesday mornings the square in the center of this picturesque town turns into a lively market
visit on friday, saturday, sunday, or monday if you want to shop for antiques. the antique stores are closed on tuesday, wednesday, and thursdays
get a seat outside on the babbling brook and eat anything on the menu. the food here is amazing.
A new (2014) luxury resort hotel in the hills of southern Provence in a super cool little midieval town called Les Baux De Provence. In addition to all the expected things it has a 18 hole golf course
really excellent restaurant serving very high quality french food. great service too. highly recommended
on wednesday mornings the town square in this lovely town in Provence, where Van Gogh painted some of his most famous works, turns into a marketplace
go all the way to the top for fantastic views of the Rhone River and the famous bridge
fantastic. we sat at the table in the kitchen and watched the chef and his assistant prepare the food. they make only one meal a night so you don't know what you are going to get until you show up.
You can do laps in the pool on the roof but you have to do a lot of them to get a workout. It's a small pool
really excellent Japanese/Peruvian restaurant. there are two tasting menus. we did the 20 course one. it was too much food in the end. but very much worth it. get a reservation way in advance.
take the elevator to the top floor, go to the cafeteria, get a bottle of water, and sit by the windows. it's a fantastic view of the center city
my least favorite of all the art museums we visited in Barcelona
go at lunchtime and sit at one of the many tapas bars in the market
this is a fantastic museum. they have a very extensive collection of Miro's work from early in his career to very late. plus the views are amazing and the outdoor sculptures are fantastic
you stand at the bar and order stuff and it comes right away. everything we ate was excellent by my favorite was the boquerones
they have a nice table outside that you can sit and read while your girls shop. that's what i did
there are supposedly 3800 pieces in this museum but its actually a pretty quick tour through them all
nice hotel. great location. rooms are comfortable and the beds and showers are top
fantastic museum. all the exhibits on display when we visited were outstanding
At the end of a pintxos bar hoping session, go here and get the Bob Limon for desert. It's amazing
go out on the patio and have an after dinner drink after a night of bar hopping
everything about this place is first rate, the food, the service, the hospitality. the chef comes around & chats with everyone late in the meal. even with all that, i was not blown away by the food.
fantastic hotel right in the center of the city of Bordeaux. highly recommended
nice place to get a plate of oysters and a glass of wine in the middle of the marche des capucins
a working garage that doubles as an art gallery. kind of cool to see but maybe not worth the schlep on the tram to get out there
i loved this place. my favorite meal in Bordeaux. really great seafood and fish, simply prepared. wonderful vibe too.
wonderful spot to get an after dinner drink and soak up the lively feel of the square at night. fantastic people watching
make sure to get a seat outside in the back and not in the dungeon around the corner behind the kitchen
the winemaker Vince is great and the cellars where they store the wine are a must see.
very pretty but everything else about this place is mediocre at best. get a drink if you must see it
this place gets great reviews but it lacks vibe and the food doesn't make up for that
bar on the roof of the Grand Hotel. the views are great. the service isn't
we struggled to find a good place to stay in the Loire Valley. this is not the answer.
i love this place. get a tartine and the salad and wash it down with a beer or a glass of rose. the perfect lunch. i wish they would open one in NYC.
nice restaurant in the saint germain area of the left bank. they have a fish place across the street that is good as well
the MAM and the Palais Tokyo are next to each other. both are great.
a good place to have lunch before a meeting at the French Ministry of the Economy
go to the bar/restaurant on the roof and have a drink. the views are spectacular
the renovations are done and the Bon Marche may now be the most amazing department store in the world
they changed from a edgy hip bistro to a gastronomic place with a tasting menu. we did not love the change.
the food in the Air France lounge in Terminal 2E is pretty good
