A Master Holiday Vacation in Supreme Hotel Le Boulevard

If you want to journey through the city of Venice in Italy, the best time to go is during summer, with the Hotel Le Boulevard as the finest place to check in. This is essentially because during summer, the hotel gets to have an impressive view of Lido beach, located nearby, which it naturally wants to share with its visitors.

The beach is quite renowned for having golden sands, unlike other beaches which commonly feature white sands. Complementing this is the marvelous waters of the Adriatic Sea, and to ensure maximum enjoyment of guests, Hotel Le Boulevard even provides deck chairs topped with summer umbrellas to make your holiday vacation unquestionably enjoyable.

The hotel itself is something worth viewing as it boasts of 45 fully equipped rooms, each one featuring such modern amenities like satellite TV, bathroom with shower, DDD telephone, heater, and an air-conditioning system that is wholly adjustable. It also has an American-styled bar highlighted by a spacious terrace, two breakfast rooms, and relaxing lounges that are perfect reading areas.

Accessibility to Hotel Le Boulevard is not a worry as there are three principal options open for tourists. One is via a private ride through the national highway; another is through the Venice railway zone; and lastly, via public transportation upon departing the Marco Polo International Airport. An alternative is to take a ride aboard one of many private water-based taxis, which would give guests a quick view of the famous Lido di Venezia nestled in the historic center of Venice, St. Mark's Square.

Sampling the Italian Eden

A week ago, I was checking world news for lack of other worthy shows on cable television, despite the hundreds of channels available. Just as I was thinking about my next furlough, Primiere Prodi was featured during the set-off of Italy as a country logo and brand. He was patriotically standing amidst a tableau of its green, red and white flag. I queried, what does the Italian logo and brand express? It takes an Italian experience to satisfy this questioning, so a trip it is. Upon arrival, you already stroke the difference in milieu with people fluttering to and fro without a care in the world. People are welcoming amidst the tumultuous airport. Try the traditional restaurants to relish food fit for the gods and wine that cannot be compared to any other vineyard wines in the world. Italians take pride in their saga and legacy as a domineering society determining the course of world history. It's not to say that Italians reel in arrogance; but that they recognize the illustriousness of their legacy and live up to this magnificence. I realize, I've never met an Italian who is not well-pleased in being one.

Varying Aroma of Italy

I was astonished when I noticed that the distinctive Italian cuisine does not exist. From the way I see it, Italy's region and provinces have their own specialties and each province separates on their cooking styles. Italy was united in 1861 and that is the reason why tons of cooking styles surfaced as a result of each region's cultural differences and history.

Northern Italy has a habit of using a lot of butter and creams for cooking while Southern Italy is more inclined to using succulent tomatoes. In addition, pizza crusts also alter across the country – Roman crusts are extra thin while the Neopolitan and Sicilian crusts are chunky.

Moreover, diverse spots have their own specialties. Calabria is popular for their extra pungent salami that has the capsicum. Naples is well-known for its mozzarella cheese, pizza, and pastries like babà and sfogliatelle while Sicily is noted for its delectable granita and gelato or ice cream. Sardinia, on the other hand, is renowned for its percorino and lamb while Emilia-Romagna is known for its mortadella, lasagna, stuffed pasta or tortellini, parmigiano, and prosciutto.

As one could see, Italian cuisine is greatly assorted that it is challenging to pinpoint what is the exact definition of it. So if you have plans of paying a visit to the country, make sure that you get a taste of what each province has to offer.

Mature Fashion Makes Way For A More Relaxed Mood

Milan known itself as a fashion spectacle back in the seventies. As a outsome, which was rather proper, Milan was baptized the Fashion Capital of the World. In authenticity, however, the prominence of Italian fashion dates back to the late 1800's when Cerruti pooled resources with a few European houses. Since then, Italy has verified its significance in the fashion industry up to this day.

Through the years, Italy swanked its products of great fashion designers such as Valentino who is known for his Rosso Valentino or Red Valentino, Gianni Versace who is known for his leatherwear, Giorgio Armani who is known for the manly style of his clothes even for women, and many others. The greater part of haute couture, or high fashion, in Italy are conventional in Rome. But Milan is the scene for Italian designer stocks. These collections are highly watched the world over for its sporty elegance and luxurious fabrics.

Clothing has always been a style of telling one's self to the world. But even though fashion industry in Italy is cultured, countryside Italians dresses in more calm ways. Even city tenants dress this way at the present. The regulations of fashion are not related anymore. Everyone strives to mix and customize their wardrobe for a more happy outfits.

Admire Italy's Wine Region by Bunking at La Rosetta Hotel

Make your trip to Italy worthwhile by visiting the region of Umbria, known for its refreshing wines but the different cities and provinces within the region also offer singularexperiences. Perugia, a city in Umbria arose along the Tiber River is an engrossing venue for travelers. This city flourished as an art center with its name derived from the renowned painter, Pietro Vanucci's appellation Perugino. Another great thing about this province is chocolate and its chocolate feast in October.

In reaching Perugia, the La Rosetta Hotel is an enticing vision at night. It's a corner red-brick hotel overshadowing a plaza with marble streets blanketed in warm light. On a clear night, fascinate yourself in the variation of colors with the skyline separating the blue night sky and the lighted hotel building. Enter through it's arched doorways and instantly find yourself in the 18th century with wooden walls and furniture, Victorian curtains and rich decoration colors blanketing you from the cold temperature outside. But the hotel is a venue of contrasts with the upper rooms designed with the 1920s feel so you can travel from one century to another by just exploringthe hotel. If this is not enough, rollick great food with fine Umbrian wine topped off with Perugina chocolate for desert.
