boutique hotel pick – hotel denieli – venice italy

Published by

My first boutique hotel pick for 2011 is none other than the Hotel Denieli in Venice, Italy.  This particular property is one of my favorites to recommend to clients, who want to plan a romantic holiday and/or are celebrating a special occasion. The hotel is walking distance from San Marco Square, cafes and restaurants  and a quick water-taxi ride from the Rialto Bridge. This boutique hotel with a five-star rating is  one of the most luxurious and glamorous properties in Venice and although the building structure is  a 14th century masterpiece, it has been renovated in 2008 to include modern day amenities for those guests who need to stay connected. Some of the most amazing decors to take note of are, the  Murano glass chandeliers, pink marble columns and stained glass windows and high ceilings. It is truly  an architectural wonder in my opinion and a must stay for sure. Planning ahead is ideal for Hotel Denielli during the high season stay (Late Summer  to early Fall) and rates are the best for off season travel.

However, finding the right wrinkle cream is probably the most frustrating thing I have experienced in the history of my shopping endeavors.  I have visited every make up counter and spoken to dozens of make up consultants, I have surfed the net and  read  reviews on most any cream out there and yet, I am just not convinced any of them will  help nor  are worth the amount of money they cost. What I did do however, is compile here and here some sites of the most highly recommended wrinkle creams out there and I would love to  hear from anyone who has tried any of them and what you actually  thought about it?

It’s funny this behavior is almost automatic and whether we think about it or not, all of us participate uniformly and sometimes subconsciously. While searching online for various small or big changes people tend to make around the end or beginning of a new year are: 1.Get  rid  of old clothes and donate them to a worthy cause 2. Spruce up the house by either painting or redecorating a room or two. 3.  Contemplate a new hair do and/or color treatment. 4. Shred old or expired files and organize a new filing system. 5. Clean out linen closets and declutter a food pantry. 6. Shop for a new perfume or explore new make up options. 7. Get a message or a spa treatment 8. Purge computer and organize online photos 9.
