For one week, from the 24th to the 30th of September, Klagenfurt became the heart of Alpe Adria, with dinners prepared by famous chefs from Slovenia, Italy and Austria and a colourful market with 30 selected producers. The latter were all from the countries mentioned above. As you know I’m often invited to these events,…
We have few certainties in life. One of mine is Austria! I truly love this country and as soon as possible I try to escape to the nearby region of Styria, just two hours and a half from Trieste. This time I went to discover Bad Radkersburg, the third city of this district in terms…
Probably most of you have never heard about it. The “Long Table of Graz” is an incredible event which takes place in Graz, the beautiful capital of Styria J A special appointment if you love food and beverages like I do! It’s not a random choice that the “Long Table” is hosted in this city because,…
By now I’m getting more and more interested in nearby Austria. And to think that until some time ago I knew almost nothing about this land! In the last ten years I have discovered instead that in this country there are not only mountains and folk clothes but there is much more 🙂 Now, not…
For years I have been visiting these enchanting places (and if you follow me assiduously you should know that very well). Where do I take you today?

When you plan a weekend – especially if you live in Trieste like I do – you thing of the big capitals like Ljubljana, Zagreb, Vienna e Prague. During the summer weekends we usually chose something closer to the beautiful coasts and crystal blue sea. But in spring time, when the water is not warm…
Today I’ll take you to Carinthia to discover a magical place that has recently opened in the heart of Bad Kleinkirchheim, a little town I love. I’m taking you to the new Trattlers Hof-Chalet, created by the Forstnig family who have been in the hotel business for generations. It’s a little village of 14 luxury…
I’ve just returned from an incredible Easter holiday in Carinthia and I have to admit that I was thinking about publishing this article in twelve months. But then I realized that my experience could come in handy to someone else too… better to be prepared, right? I also had already given you a few tips…
This year has been great for ski lovers: there’s been loads of snow all over our area, and between Italy, Slovenia and Austria all the snow resorts have been working non-stop to offer hundreds of kilometers of slopes to skiers and snowboarders. I like a “comfortable” mountain, preferably during the months of February and March…
