Still not over the stunning natural beauty of Abru

Still not over the stunning natural beauty of Abruzzo’s great national parks!

From the Gran Sasso and its soaring peak, Corno Grande (the highest point in the Apennine Mountains) to the Majella, it's all about dramatic landscapes and ancient forests in this wild heart of Italy. Plus, there are charming hilltop villages to explore as well as the remains of Rocca Calascio fortres (pic 7), which was built between the 10th and 13th centuries.

Photos from two separate days - one beautifully curated by @exploringabruzzo and the other onboard the historic @ferroviadeiparchi train that took me on a scenic ride through the national parks, 101/0 would recommend both!

Dolce far niente — the sweetness of doing nothin

Dolce far niente — the sweetness of doing nothing, albeit with a bittersweet drink in my hand. And that's exactly what I did on my recent trip to Italy's glamorous Amalfi Coast!

I stayed at @anantaraconventodiamalfi where they signed me up for an amaro masterclass with Firar Marcus (pic 2), the hotel's history expert. In 2024, he developed an exclusive recipe of amaro (a bittersweet digestif) based on a medieval-era monks' recipe. Named Amaro Dei Cappuccini (pic 3), the liqueur is made with only five botanicals—wild fennel, myrtle, olive leaves, juniper, and basil picked fresh from the hotel’s garden.

In addition to the amaro tasting, the hotel's bar manager also mixed up his signature cocktail, Amalfitano (pics 1 & 4) for me. I took the bright-red drink onto the terrace, where it looked picture-perfect against the cobalt-blue Tyrrhenian Sea framed by Amalfi's pastel-hued cliffside facades.

Located in the heart of Ballard Estate, Grand Hote

Located in the heart of Ballard Estate, Grand Hotel is a historic boutique hotel full of old-world charm. Founded in 1922, the hotel was designed by George Wittet who also designed landmarks such as the Gateway of India, The Prince of Wales Museum (now CSMVS), Institute of Science, etc. The magnificent stone facade, the sweeping red-tiled staircase, and the vintage lift with a crank lever (now for decorative purposes) all whisper of a bygone era.

Rooms are very spacious and well-appointed — we booked one of the harbour view rooms that retain the old-fashioned ambience and have sea views (albeit past a canopy of trees and several cranes). The refurbished executive rooms sport a more contemporary look, if that's what you prefer (there's no harbour view though). The in-house restaurant Cinnamon dishes up some tasty Indian, Chinese, and Continental fare, plus a good breakfast.

Overall fab location, VFM pricing, and attentive service. So if you're visiting Mumbai, @grandhotelmumbai is a great budget option - rooms start at Rs. 7,000++ and we paid Rs. 9,500++ for the harbour view room.

Where I stayed in Rome - InterContinental Rome Amb

Where I stayed in Rome - InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace #hosted

Located on the chic Via Veneto, the @intercontinentalroma is housed in a palazzo that opened in 1905 as a residence for ambassadors visiting Rome. Today, it's the perfect pied-à-terre for your Roman sojourn - attractions like the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps are a short walk away, Roma Termini is a quick taxi ride, and the Barberini metro station is nearby.

The hotel retains the marble columns and grand staircase of the original palazzo while the refurbished design nods to Rome's history and architecture. I loved my spacious suite with its contemporary design, Tuscan marble and leather touches, and premium Byredo amenities.

The Vici bistrot served up a sumptuous breakfast every morning and turned into an upscale ristorante in the evening, while Charlie's Rooftop bar is THE place for a stylish aperitivo. I tried one of their signature cocktails with gin, rose liqueur, lemon, and sparkling rosé. Named La Dolce Vita, it's an apt homage to the Eternal City - whether it's the decadent setting of Fellini's 1960 movie or modern Rome as it stands today in all its 2779-year-old glory!

Italy, again??? Si!!!

This time, it was a research trip for a certain guidebook. 25 days, multiple cities, endless hours on the road - it certainly wasn't dolce far niente!

But 🇮🇹 is forever 🩷

Sure it's a touristy cliche, but I have always tossed a coin in the Trevi Fountain. And Rome has always called me back! Here's hoping 🤞🏼
