The Botanical Garden of Villa Mirasasso

A must-do experience in Sežana, Slovenia

On January 16th, 2016, I published in my blog my very first article dedicated to this green paradise. Today, looking back at those pictures, I realize how much it has changed, if not further improved (and it was already starting from a very good starting point!). The statues have been restored and the Karst Vegetation…

Sorrentino: eating in Trieste with a sea view

Mediterranean flavors among olive trees and saltiness

On March 15th, 2016 I published a report of my experience at Joia’s. At the time, the restaurant was still located on Via Cadorna, and I already had my eye on the cooking of young chef Pasquale Sorrentino, which was only 28 years old at the time. He has come a long way in 7…

What to do in and around Pula

Two days exploring the Istrian part of Croatia

It has been a couple of years since my last trip exploring Croatia with my friends at Croatia Full of Life. Why yes, Covid really did slow us down… but it didn’t stop us completely! This time the car stopped in Pula, just two hours from Trieste. Besides, let’s face it, without having to stop…

Discovering the Soča Valley

Go to Slovenia to immerse yourself in unspoiled nature

We are only two hours away from Trieste. After not even five minutes into the highway, leaving behind the Natisone Valleys (which I had already introduced you to last summer, more precisely here), and passing through Kobarid and the wonderful Bovec, we arrive in Soča, the place where I’ll pitch my tents for a few…

Winter experiences in Bad Kleinkirchheim.

How about skiing with Franz Klammer, thermal Spas, sledding or snowshoeing in nature?

I don’t know which of the things listed above you like to do, and I couldn’t pick one to do again, having done them all, as each one made me feel different: joy, laughter, tears of emotion, peace and absolute relaxation. It’s maybe best to start at the beginning, so, shall we? It’s early February,…

Albero Nascosto Boutique Hotel

Staying in the heart of Trieste, a stone’s throw from Piazza Unità d’Italia

My first blog article came out way back in January 2015. What did it tell you about? It was precisely about Albero Nascosto! A little place that still is one of the most charming places to stay in the city as of today. We are in a beautiful building from the eighteenth century, in the…

Here, 30 artisan workshops from Friuli Venezia Giulia are gathered in one place among fashion, agribusiness, and artistic craftsmanship. The Compra in Bottega project was born last year thanks to…

Mytilus, a sea-view restaurant in Trieste

Excellent seafood and breathtaking sunsets only thirty steps away from Slovenia

Last stop, all aboard! Oh yes, I do believe that Mytilus can claim the record of “the first restaurant in Italy coming from Slovenia.” We are in Muggia, precisely in the Lazzaretto area, and by walking only thirty more steps you will leave Italy behind. This little place opened a few months ago when Matteo…
