Here’s the article about my stay in Zara during the Golden Pen award ceremony (LINK). As I said I was a guest at the Hotel Iadera of the Falkensteier chain and I’d like to start by telling you a little bit about this lovely place before a little guide about the city and the surrounding…
I’m not writing an article about my great accomplishments, but I do want to share how I felt last weekend when I received the Zlatna penkala (Golden Pen) prize from the Croatian national institute for Tourism, Croatia Full of Life. If you follow my posts I’m sure you already know mostly everything (I’ve bored you…
A name I’m sure you’ve already heard. I was a guest in this wonderful place in September 2015 (here’s the story about my stay). I’m sure you’re wondering why I returned… because some things have changed since last time! When I found out that Meneghetti had made some changes I immediately took the opportunity to…
This time I visited a little place that’s not so well known, because if I ask you “what do you know about Croatia?” I’m sure you’ll answer “the sea, Zagreb, Split” and maybe something extra.

Close your eyes and imagine a hotel fit for a king. Done? Well whatever you had imagined, I’m sure it comes nowhere close to Alhambra, a shiny hotel in Lussinpiccolo, affiliated with the prestigious hotel chain “Small Luxury Hotels of the World”. Even the structure, a building in Secession style, will leave you breathless; this…
You’d probably think that in Lussinpiccolo you can only eat fresh fish, but I discovered that here, as well as the excellent scampi (in the months of May and June), you will also find excellent meat dishes! We’re in the pine woods of the bay of Cigale, which is considered one of the most beautiful…
I often wonder why when we travel we always go looking for the impossible, the difficult and the expensive, when round the corner we could find some uncontaminated paradise. I count myself in this group too, because I have to admit that I’ve been to Cres just once in my life; I was really young…
