A Tranquil Oasis in Zanzibar
The delightful Samawa Living, Paje, Zanzibar.
What a simply delightful oasis in the Paje region of Zanzibar. The staff, in particular the attendants at the front desk, are so courteous and welcoming. Israel, Amani, Kadogo, Abdullah, Edwina, the list goes (sure there are several others I’m missing); the wait/cleaning staff and Chef at the onsite restaurant, were all brilliant.
The property itself is also quite appealing. It’s a beautifully designed space that I found to be quite tranquil and relaxing. In addition, I appreciated the generously sized rooms (more than adequate for 2), dual sinks, indoor/outdoor shower, and the expertly orchestrated turndown service. Shout out to the cleaning staff. Well done.
As an area of opportunity, I’d encourage the establishment to offer more plant-based choices on the restaurant menu and perhaps, for convenience, include food/beverage menus poolside. Overall, quite well done.

Ibiza, Island of Beaty; A brief memo
Ibiza, a place of immense natural beauty, lush landscapes, stunning beaches, immaculate sunsets, and much more.
Sure, Ibiza, one of the islands in the Balearic sea, has long been synonymous with hedonism and debauchery of all manner, and to be sure, it wears this designation well.

If you’re looking for an alternative, a place to simply relax and chill, eat delicious food, take in the bountifulness of nature, it’s certainly an excellent option.

Eleventh Fl. Suites: A Remarkable Stay in Cagliari, Sardinia
My stay at Eleventh Fl. Suites in Cagliari, Sardinia.
I had a most remarkable experience staying at the delightful B&B, Eleventh Floor Suites, in Cagliari. Roberta, its host, is quite a gem. She's one of those people whom one immediately feels connected to. She's a nurturer at heart, and this innate ability shines through in the way she's crafted a most comfortable and inspiring space. The B&B feels like home away from home owning to her care, its comfortability, and the delicious breakfast spread served daily. It was truly a blissful experience.
With such perfection, it's really hard to fault it. In the spirit of having something constructive to add however, perhaps kettles for tea in the bedrooms could be just be a tad more convenient (note: this is present in the common lounge area as is coffee - espresso or drip, and ample snacks for those peckish moments).
When in Cagliari, there couldn’t be a better place to stay. For bespoke itineraries to Sardinia, do not hesitate to get in touch. We’re happy to help. Also check-out the full Sardinia feature in the On Location section.
