Sutrio: what to do in one of the most Authentic villages of Italy?

Here’s my experience in the mountains of Carnia.

We’re in the small town of Sutrio, which counts 1200 inhabitants right in the heart of Carnia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This village is part of the Borghi autentici d’Italia association, and it’s highly probable that it is also one of the oldest human settlements in all of Carnia. As popular tradition wants it (and remembers it),…

Lesachtal: discovering the slowest valley in the world.

Visit Carinthia among picturesque views and mouth-watering delicacies.

You can get here without passing on the Austrian highway, without a Slovenian vignette and by bypassing the Carnic Alps from Forni Avoltri. A two-hour and forty-minute drive from Trieste separates you from an unequalled little place, enjoyed by Germans, Austrians, and Italians alike! We’re in the Lesachtal valley (Lesna dolina in Slovenian): it’s an…

Autumn at Lake Faaker See

Between hiking, wellness, cycling and nature

Autumn is one of the best seasons to admire the magic of falling foliage and to enjoy the peace just over two and a half hours from Trieste. Today I’ll take you to the shores of Lake Faaker See in Carinthia. This time I’m a guest at Karnerhof’s, a facility that has renovated its wellness…

In Sauris among mountains, wellness and total relax

Ah, the first time! What about the second one? I don’t know what you thought, but to me this is just one of the many times I’ve come in these mountains. And when I’m talking about Sauris the only people that I can be talking about are Michele Grimaz (pictures) and Marco, who we call…

A magical suite with private spa in Gradisca d’Isonzo

A lovely weekend in Friuli Venezia Giulia

A little premise. Here we are, on a thread that swings between fear and insecurity, we’re being bombed with far from reassuring news: we’re tired, stressed and afraid…we’re in the middle of something that has run over all of us and doesn’t spare anyone. There are people that, nonetheless, want to go on, in the…

Terme Krka where you’ll find wellness, sport and a balanced diet

Surrounded by nature to find your well being

I have to be honest: if they had offered me this vacation a couple of years ago, I’m not sure I would have accepted. I had always imagined that this type of holiday was strictly reserved for two types of people. Sport fanatics and whoever was addicted to pampering themselves and… retired people! But I…

A party at the Atlantida Boutique Hotel

A weekend of wellness, good food and a lot of fun

I returned to Rogaška Slatina. I had been there some time ago, remember? This time I decided to spend a different weekend, without my usual photographers or any family members, but with five special friends: it’s time to celebrate my 40th birthday J yes, I have to admit it. It’s not my birthday yet (I’ll…

Rimske Thermal baths, the oldest roman baths in Slovenia

Discovered in 39 B.C., they were developed in 1840 by Gustav Adolf Ulrich of Trieste

We’re in Rimske Toplice, a Slovenian town in the common of Laško, which is well known for the brewery with its same name, for the Restaurant Pavus I’ve told you about, but also for something else! In Rimske Toplice we find the most antique roman thermal baths of the country J a jewel with a…
