Breath-taking Villa d’Este, Tivoli, Italy at night. Thousands of fountains sparkle and illuminate the Roman night. A feat of hydraulic engineering, terraced gardens and exceptional fountains. #villadeste #history #architecture #villadeste #tivoli #lazio #roma @villadestehometivoli @igerslazio @official_sslazio @visititalia #ercoledeste #ipollitodeste #villa #renaissance #giardini #giardiniitaliani

My friends in Senigallia, Le Marche, Italy are celebrating today. Mauro Uliassi, chef-patron of Uliassi Ristorante has just been awarded his 3rd Michelin Star. A wonderful acknowledgement to a fabulous chef. In true style and humility Mauro thanked his team - especially Katia his sister, many other chefs, including Serritelli and the entire team in his kitchen. My friend Lara Massi and I ate at Uliassi in August - the food was excellent. Complimenti to Mauro, Katia and all the Uliassi family, brilliant news. So pleased. #Senigallia #Uliassi #Michelin #Italy #Italia #LeMarche #gastronomy #cucinadelmare #brilliant @educatedtraveller @serritellivittorio @uliassi @andrewjsimmonds @senigallia @marcheturismo #visitMarche @francescablench @grand_tourist

Procida isola bellissima - vicino Napoli. Nesting in the Bay of Naples, Procida ha the quintessential Southern Italian community, fishermen, two small ports, houses tumbling down the hillside to the sea. Filmmakers love it here - they filmed The Talented Mr Ripley here and 'Il Postino' #Campania #Napoli #talentedmrripley #italianfilms @francescablench @andrewjsimmonds @luigisegre To discover more: https://wp.me/p5eFNn-3wC

La Meridiana Resort, Garlenda, Liguria, Italia. Proper, traditional luxury, wonderful owners, quality, style and comfort. Excellent restaurant and bistro - fabulous wines. A real gem. Just an hour from Monte Carlo and Cote d'Azur - yet in terms of serenity it's in a league of its own. https://wp.me/p5eFNn-3PC @luigisegre @relaismeridiana @relaischateaux @turismoinliguria @igers_liguria @francescablench

Getting ready to remember French style - the port of Nice is behind me and the Mediterranean to the left.
