Montefalco – Part 2

May 15, 2016 Article

After a good night sleep (the bed in our room was very good!), we were ready to enjoy the breakfast provided by the accommodation; it was a very nice gesture to put the food in a portable wooden crate. We got some muffins, some sweets and a good cup of coffee, all in the Italian

Montefalco – Italy

May 2, 2016 Article

Recently, we’ve been travelling to Italy once again and we decided to drive from Rome to the lovely Montefalco, in the region of Umbria. The town is about 2 hours from the capital and the road to get there is pretty nice as well, featuring some panoramic view of the Flaminia, the old road built

We are back!

April 24, 2016 Article

It’s never easy to stick with a schedule, especially if you are lazy, pessimist and always able to find other excuses. It has been a long time, but we’ve decided to come back to our website, because we don’t like to leave things pending, we don’t like to start something and don’t stick to it

Trattoria da Luigi – London

October 15, 2015 Article

On a cold Saturday afternoon, we decided to head to East London, in search of something exotic to do. What we found (“The Last Tuesday Society”) was something that you can call in this way for sure… Anyway, we left the place and our bellies were already complaining for being left with no food for

The Red Lion – Long Compton (Cotswold)

September 6, 2015 Article

It’s always good to get out of this city from time to time and so we decided to head towards Moreton-in-Marsh to experience the greatness of Cotswold and true English countryside. We were greeted by a 20£ taxi fare for about 5 miles of car travel (and you’d think London is expensive…), from the train

Com Viet – London (our Vietnamese fix)

August 23, 2015 Article

Few weeks ago, on a Sunday, we decided to head to Trafalgar Square for the annual Korean festival to try and get some good street food and whatnot. Unfortunately, as per the usual tradition for these kind of events, thousands of other people had our same idea with the result of making almost impossible getting

Rossella – London

August 20, 2015 Article

On a Saturday evening, after a sudden crave of Italian food, we decided to pay a visit to this little family restaurant located close to one of our favorite pubs in London, called Southampton Arms (Kentish Town area). We made a reservation for a table around 7pm and arrived there right on time; the place

El Refugio – Zahara de Los Atunes

August 12, 2015 Article

Lovely restaurant with views of the beach, a simple but romantic design, with a white and blue decor. We arrived around 8.30 pm as we didn’t book a table and we wanted to be sure to get one, given the reputation this place enjoys; luckily, although the restaurant gets quiet busy at dinner time, we

Eslava – Seville

July 26, 2015 Article

Having heard about a very good buzz surrounding this place, we decided to make a reservation in their restaurant (as they also have a tapas bar, but it’s usually very busy); the staff let us in, as they prefer to keep the door locked between the outside causal area (for which they don’t accept reservation) and their more sophisticated dining space.

The dining area was quite small, but very intimate and the service was very professional and friendly at the same time; our main waiter, in his 60s or similar, was speaking a perfect English and that was incredibly helpful in choosing the appropriate dishes.
The wine of the evening, was a bottle of red Rioja Luis Canas Reserva, from 2010, that went perfectly with our food and was served at perfect temperature.

La Cascada – Ronda

July 19, 2015 Article

We booked one night in La Perla Blanca which is a mere 6KM from Ronda, tucked away in the beautiful scenario of the Sierra; given the particular position of the villa, we were presented with limited options, as we really did not feel like driving to the actual town. Upon recommendation given by the owner
