For our trip to the South of France we nominate our stay at the Domaine du Mas de Pierre near the city of Nice as one of the highlights for this year so far. Indeed, it is luxurious and offers all the amenities you aspect from a five-star resort, but what really strikes us was its innovative approach to hospitality. Read more…

Miles before entering the picturesque Swiss town of Gstaad, we already spot our place of destination rising high above the rest. We earlier informed our daughters that our next stop would be a ‘princess castle’. Read more...
We can't help it, but our first association is Jurassic Park: jungle overgrown granite rocks flow seamlessly into the deep blue-green ocean. At any moment we expect to kick a sleeping T-Rex on its tail. It's like walking into a movie set. But this is all real life. We start our experiences off right with a four-day stay in one of the best hotels in the world on one of the most beautiful bays, Petite Anse, the Four Seasons Seychelles. Read more...
When British officer Charles George Gordon visited the Vallée de Mai nature reserve on Praslin, he was convinced that this had once been the site of the Garden of Eden, the residence of Adam and Eve. We have the same feeling arriving for our visit to Raffles Seychelles. Surrounded by pristine beaches, framed by forests and clear ocean waters, it is no wonder we get visions of paradise. Our daughters are also extremely excited, especially about the fact that the resort features the largest swimming pool in the Indian Ocean with a length of forty-five meters. Read more…
Wow, this is a cool room! That is how it sounds from the room next to us. We have the pleasure to be guests at the breathtaking Grand Resort Bad Ragaz for a second time, now in winter. Although it more looks like spring on the day of arrival with 14 degrees Celsius. However, as often in the Alps, the weather changes in a heartbeat and the snowflakes drift down within hours of our arrival. Read more…

In the height of summer, we travel from a scorching hot France to the sixth-smallest nation in Europe. Indeed it is small, but it easily wins the prize for the grandest name ever bestowed on a country. Our travel destination for the coming four days is known as the Principality of the Valleys of Andorra. We are guests at its one and only five star Sport Hotel Hermitage & Spa. Read more…
Sometimes you just know when you hit a family friendly hot spot. This happens to us on the afternoon we arrive at the Mas de Thau near the small town of Montagnac… Read more…
A true highlight of our trip to Switzerland and especially for our youngest girl is a revisit to what they call ‘the fairy-tale castle on the mountain’. Well even better than a castle, it is a palace: the Gstaad Palace to be precise. Read more…
We are excited to surprise our girls when visiting the Lenkerhof. It is not really the gourmet restaurant Spettacolo for them offering a choice of 16 different courses, which change every day or the renewed and ancient old thermal spa waters they are after. Read more…
Now our girls are somewhat older we more and more can take up real outdoor activities. And we are just in the right place to do so: the lovely village of Malbun, situated in the eastern exclave of the municipality of Triesenberg, in Liechtenstein. We stay at the lovely family hotel Gorfion. Read more…
