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…

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…

Natisone valleys, going over the Slovenian border

Two days and five stops at just over an hour from Trieste

Yes, you read that right. Only an hour and fifteen minutes from Trieste, although the word “valleys” brings the mind to much more distant destinations. And yet… In an Instagram direct, I asked you what different content you’d like to find on my blog: the answer was a resounding “short 2 days itineraries close to…

Brda, relaxing at Gredič’s with a good Medot wine.

The Slovenian Collio always gives you strong emotions.

I love to check out new places close to Trieste where you can spend a nice weekend while relaxing and, why not, enjoying good food, and those who know me can attest that. This time, I am in Brda, the Slovenian Colllio, a fascinating place overlooked by gentle hills and vine rows; here, among wineries…

Špacapanova hiša, Komen’s restaurant in Slovenia

Tradition, territory and fabulous flavors

We’re just 20 minutes from Trieste and I suggest you reach this restaurant from the Monrupino border; from here we can start our trip to discover Slovenia’s flavors. Once you cross into Slovenia you’ll be surrounded by green countryside and along the road you’ll cross many little towns like Duttogliano. There’re loads of respect for…

The flavors of the Valley of Vipava 2019

Sunday 12th and Monday 13th of May at Zemono for a delicious festival!

There’s a wonderful place I’ve already told you about many times. A place that in the spring time is covered in thousands of colors: the Vipava Valley, Vipavska which means dolina in Slovenian, is an area that spreads from the Gorizia plane to the Resderta hills, in Slovenia. Right here, among vineyards and blossoming cherry…

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…
