Haute Hotel


It’s true that we already mentioned the Borgo San Felice in our August newsletter, but I was so stunned by this hotel’s simple charm and beauty, I couldn’t resist sharing again via my own photographs. We stumbled upon the luxurious place to stay while driving through the Chianti countryside in search of wineries. And when we pulled up to this fantastic cluster of historical buildings, we were overwhelmed by how peaceful and lovely the grounds felt. If ever I go back, I hope this is where I can stay!

The Haunted

Damp. Silent. Creepy. Not usually words most associate with France, thought to be one of the world's most romantic and glamorous countries. But it certainly boasts its fair share of the macabre and horrifying! Some of the earliest Halloween traditions started in the region, and with so much history lurking in every crevice and corner, it's a wonder most visitors don't shiver straight out of their designer footwear!
