Louis palazzo di zante in Greece

Advantages: Food, kids club, family orientated, quiet resort, beach.
Disadvantages: Off the beaten track, nothing else around

...We stayed at the Louis Palazzo di zante for 2 weeks in August 2007 as a family of 4. It is in the resort of Vasilikos in south eastern zante and is situated together with its 2 sister hotels the Imperial and Royal overlooking the local beach with a lift from the Imperial down to the beach which is a godsend for those with kids. The Louis Palazzo di zante is a family orientated hotel with a venetian style canal within the complex with all the rroms overlooking it. We thought you could swim in it as others did we spoke to. When we got there we found it was a design ornamental feature only about 9 inches deep but very attractive. The room we stayed in was a family room consisting of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and balcony. The bathroom is clean with toilet shower over the bath and basin. The 2 bedrooms have twin beds in each and the main...

Review of Louis Palazzo di Zante Hotel, Zante

Amazing luxurious palazzo in the hills behind Rome

Advantages: Beautiful Pallazzo - total luxury
Disadvantages: Not a lot to do but relax!

..., although we did get lots numerous times. The newer part of Fiuggi is a spa town, the waters are apparently renowned for their health-giving properties. This means that the town can be quite touristy, making it all the more special to retire to the peaceful palazzo. All in all, this is an amazing hotel in a beautiful location. I will certainly be going back, however I think I may have to save up a bit first! Prices this summer are 160 euros for a standard room and 260 euros for a delux, however these are promotional rates and are obviously subject to change....

All Versace'd Out!

Advantages: Convenient location & a total must-see
Disadvantages: Prices & gawping tourists

...Located on Australia's Gold Coast the 'Palazzo Versace' is 5 star hotel from, you guessed it, Versace, the Italian design house. The world's first, if you will!! Versace is known for its incredibly opulent & flamboyant style....and if you go expecting it, you certainly won't be disappointed!! This is the hotel all the celebs stay at once they are kicked out of 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here'...so with some judicious planning, you may get to rub shoulders with some newly resurrected D-list stars!! First lets talk about where its situated. For those of you who don't know the Gold Coast, let me tell you, I can hardly think of a better location for Versace's flashy trashy style. The Gold Coast is, to my mind, a bit like Blackpool meets Miami for footballers wives!! The hotel opened in September 2000 & has 205 hotel rooms...

Review of Palazzo Versace, Gold Coast MC

A Grand Palace of Italy

Advantages: Architecture, Art, History
Disadvantages: Restoration causes issues

...and was elected for life on the principle that this would help stability (like the House of Lords here in the UK). THE PALACE First built in the ninth century, the Palazzo Ducale was rebuilt many times thereafter, and it was with the construction of the Sala del Maggior Consiglio in 1340 that the present building really took shape. Work continued until 1420. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!! The palace's most impressive room, the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (the Hall of the Great Council), has a frieze of paintings of the first 76 doges ? with the exception of Marino Faliero. He was the 55th doge who was appointed on 11 September 1354. By 1355 he was plotting to declare himself prince (not done in a republic). Historians believe he was a bit senile by this time (already 70) and this is why he attempted to do this. When he was...

Rome's third museum

Advantages: interesting collections
Disadvantages: quite expensive (

...The Museo Nazionale Romano has recently (in the past year) relocated to Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, which is situated in Piazza Cinquecento, very close to the Termini main rail station. It is hard to do everything in Rome, and it isn't usually the first Museum that springs to mind, I'd place it behind the Vatican Museums and the Capitoline Museums, but that still makes it an incredible place! The building, for a start, is impressive. Unlike the better known, aforementioned museums, the Nazionale Romano, because it relocated recently, has had more of a chance to order its layout. It costs 12000L to get in, (about £4), and it is possible to hire an audioguide. This 12000L includes a timed guided tour to the top floor (the top floor is actually the second floor, not the first floor as stated on the ticket and got me remarkably...

Make me feel young, carefree and light

Advantages: Light, delicate composition, feminine
Disadvantages: Does not really stand out

...Launched: 2006 Olfactory group: fruity floral A friend of mine wears this perfume and she asked me to 'analyse' it for her. I normally don't do this because it's a lot harder to describe a fragrance I didn't pick out myself... it won't have the same significance to me and my senses won't be as tuned in to the scent as with the ones I chose myself. By the look of the bottle I was expecting a sweet, girly scent like Versace Red Jeans though the name 'bright crystal' suggested floral musk... a bit like Omnia Crystalline but less 'grown-up'? The packaging The fragrance comes with a very attractive light pink toned box and a chunky, stocky bottle with an oversized crystal clear oblong lid, similar to Fendi Palazzo's but a lot bigger. The perfume has a baby pink shade too and it will certainly adorn your...
