I have a handful of hotels throughout your Europe, I have built a friendship upon, with the staff. Meaning to say, I email them directly, get my rates and dates locked in and just show up, without having to worry much about if we’ll like the place, safety, and all other concerns while travelling:

Except, this list came out and I am truly torn…about what I am familiar with, or these wonderful places I’d love to stay. Isn’t travelling supposed to be an adventure anyway?  Check out the one’s I am thinking for this year’s trip:

La Bastide de Gordes, Gordes France

JW Marriott Venice, Italy

The Laslett, London, England

The Fifteen Keys Hotel, Rome Italy

Les Bains – Paris France

Mandarin Oriental Milan Italy

Pousada de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal
