Lake Como
This was my first visit to the Italian Lakes, and it won't be the last. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of this destination. We flew into Milan and hired a car from the airport taking about an hour and a half to reach our home for the weekend. We stayed in the quaint village of Maltrasio with stunning views over Lake Como and great boat trips/connections to the other many villages aro

Playa Blanca Summer Sun
We booked our family summer holiday late this year and ended up in Playa Blanca in Lanzarote and we had a fabulous holiday. We prefer to stay bed & breakfast or self catering in Europe but the Hotel Mirador Papagayo was half board; the food was nice but we just prefer to eat out. Playa Blanca is a great resort and our hotel was in a prime location 10-15 minutes walk to the stunning Rubicon M

Zurich City Break
I travelled to Zurich with my dad and sister to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel which I would highly recommend, it was a 10-minute tram ride from the city centre and then a 5-minute walk to the Crown Plaza. Zurich is such a beautiful city and very easy to travel around. We purchased a 3-day tram pass and got great use out of it, even using it to get to an

Sunsets in Santorini
This was my third visit to Santorini and I will certainly be back again very soon I hope. We stayed in the resort of Kamari at the Tamarix del Mar suites. As it was a 40th birthday treat we upgraded to a suite with a rooftop Jacuzzi with beautiful views over Kamari - I felt very spoilt. Kamari is only a short drive from the airport and not far from Thira, the old capital. Thira is one of

Magical Lapland
I was very lucky to spend Christmas 2014 in Lapland with my family. Flying on Christmas Eve the magic started as soon as we boarded the plane, our children received Christmas hats and we spent the flight singing along to Christmas songs. Once we landed at Kittila airport we were greeted by Santa's Elves and taken to collect out thermal suits and boots; these were included in our Lapland package
