Blogging about my experiences and sharing my thoughts about Rome, Italy and beyond.
As we had a long weekend, we decided to take a day trip from Rome to visit the Palace of Caserta. Caserta is not known as a tourist destination but the Palace, modeled after Versailles, is a hidden gem that I have heard about but never had the chance to visit. Caserta is known more [...]
The view you get from Villa Rufolo in Ravello makes you feel like you are on top of the world. Breathtaking is an understatement! Ravello, in general, gives you the sensation that you have stepped into another world, one that is beyond the hustle and bustle of our world. Here in Ravello, you just experience [...]
While doing research on the Senb Hotel in Senigallia, we read the reviews on TripAdvisor and one reviewer mentioned how they liked the place because if they got lost in Senigallia, they could easily spot the hotel because of its colors. I didn’t know if they were serious and only when we got there, we [...]
On the trip to Positano last weekend, there were a few things on my mind that I wanted to make sure I had. They weren’t even dishes but more like bites and two out of three were for those who have a sweet tooth. Bites in and near Positano 1. Pane Casatiello and Saltimbocca On [...]
When we got to Positano last Thursday, there were posters everywhere about the Festa del Pesce which would take place that Saturday evening on Fornillo Beach. We didn’t come to Positano specifically for this and didn’t know about it at all. From what I had heard, some did come to Positano that weekend just for [...]
This summer, we didn’t get to visit Positano and as it has been a while since we were last here, we decided to drive down this past weekend. I think we made the right decision to come to Positano in September as the beaches were pretty deserted but the water still warm enough for a [...]
I am a strong advocate of agriturismi and even before living in Italy, our preference, whenever possible, has been to stay in more hospitable and friendly places. Since living in Italy, I have stayed at many agriturismi myself and love the idea of getting away from it all in a place that feels like home. [...]
When I visit Senigallia, I always try to grab a bite at Aniko. It is a not quite a restaurant but rather an open-air place that is owned by Moreno Cedroni, a Michelin two-star chef. Not only do I enjoy the outdoor setting but this place offers very unique cuisine. It’s specialty is smoked fish [...]
Senigallia, why? That was my reaction 5 years ago when I heard my sister-in-law was going to Senigallia because I thought it was Senegal. I admit I was that ignorant! So where is Senigallia? Visualizzazione ingrandita della mappa Senigallia is a seaside town in the Marche region. It’s about a 3 hours drive from Rome [...]
Friends who live outside of Rome but within the Lazio region invited us to their country home for lunch this past weekend. As it is common courtesy here in Italy, we brought a simple Italian dessert which was suitable for this hot summer weather. I always enjoy meeting up with them as they have a [...]
