Last Stops: Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio

December 14, 2019

From Pienza in Tuscany back to Rome, we spent a night in between at the “Castle in the Sky” town – Civita di Bagnoregio. On the way, we visited Orvieto, a beautiful hilltop town, 1 hour 20 minutes drive to get there. Similar to Siena, there is a parking garage – Campo della Fiera –… Read More Last Stops: Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio

Day trip to Florence

December 8, 2019

9 years ago, we made our first trip to Europe for our wedding in Greece + honeymoon in Italy and we had to cut short of our stay in Florence due to the strike in Greece. We had to sleep in Rome’s FCO airport and then catch the first train to Florence in the morning… Read More Day trip to Florence

Finding the Postcard Perfect Spots in Tuscany

November 30, 2019

Jason was certainly not thrilled about the idea of sunrise but with extra encouragement, he got dressed in a few layers and walked out with me. We went to the viewing spot where we took photos of the sunset yesterday and disappointingly, there was no fog covering the fields underneath Pienza; it wasn’t like what… Read More Finding the Postcard Perfect Spots in Tuscany

Siena to Pienza – the Heart of Tuscany

November 24, 2019

We hit the road as soon as we finished breakfast to explore the heart of Tuscany – the picturesque rolling hills. We took the scenic Tuscany road – SR2 from Siena to Pienza where we’ll be staying for 3 nights. The first stop was the famous cypresses of San Quirico. Unexpectedly, just after we got… Read More Siena to Pienza – the Heart of Tuscany

Siena and San Gimignano

November 17, 2019

It was a long travel day to make our journey back to Italy….a 5 hours drive from Menton, France to Siena, Italy. The ride wasn’t smooth at all as it was pouring so made traffic worst! There was a car accident near Genoa so we wasted half an hour sitting on traffic. We made a… Read More Siena and San Gimignano

Isola Bella – The Gem in Lake Maggiore

September 22, 2019

The best time for photos of Isola San Giulio is morning till noon when the island is light up by sunlight. When we arrived at Orta San Giulio in the afternoon the day before, the island was covered in shadow which made a big difference for photos. Our hotel’s breakfast room faced directly toward the… Read More Isola Bella – The Gem in Lake Maggiore

Back to the Italian Lake District – Lake Orta

September 14, 2019

Since our last year’s visit to the beautiful Lake Garda and Lake Como, I have set a goal to visit more Italian lakes. I had the opportunity for this trip to re-route my itinerary due to my pregnancy so I decided to visit the other less known lakes in the Italian Lake District – Lake… Read More Back to the Italian Lake District – Lake Orta

Day Trip to the Flowery Town of Spello and Assisi

August 25, 2019

We had a great night sleep except for the phone in our room rang at 4 AM!!! Who would call our room at 4 AM? No one answered; I hung up immediately and went back to sleep. The nice breakfast at least saved the morning. The croissants were freshly baked and they even have the… Read More Day Trip to the Flowery Town of Spello and Assisi

La Fiorita, the Flowering of Castelluccio di Norcia

August 18, 2019

La Fiorita, known as the flowering of Castelluccio di Norcia occurs every year from the end of June to mid-July which turns this plain high up on the mountain into a magical and colorful field of wildflowers. I found out about this place when I was searching “the most beautiful flower fields”. However, the perfectly… Read More La Fiorita, the Flowering of Castelluccio di Norcia

One Day in Lake Como – Bellagio and Varenna

December 22, 2018

We skipped the hotel breakfast and instead had our tiramisu from last night as a quick bite before our 2.5 hours drive to Bellagio, Lake Como so we could save time. I was a little bit disappointed that the tiramisu wasn’t that great  🙁 We already notified the hotel that we’ll be leaving at 6:00… Read More One Day in Lake Como – Bellagio and Varenna
