Mi trovo a Spaccanapoli, arteria pulsante della vita mondana nel pieno centro storico, al numero 23 di Via Benedetto Croce, mi aspetta Palazzo Tufarelli, dimora storica del XVII secolo che mi accoglie con un cortile magico e evocativo. Dalle arcate ritornano alle mente immagini, scene da film, rumori, vociare delle signore e bisbiglii di nobili. Mi infilo nell’ascensore con gettoniera vintage (si, per salire o scendere si metteva una monetiva!) oggi fuori uso, ma suggestivo. Benvenuti al Santa Chiara Boutique Hotel un gioiello di ospitalità, arte e storia che nasce nel ventre di Napoli, da cui ne eredita accoglienza e passionalità.
Spaccanapoli, arteria pulsante di vita mondana è la pittoresca strada che ‘spacca’ Napoli in due. Animata da bancarelle, negozi souvenir, ristoranti, taverne. Qui potrete trovare il calore, la passionalità e l’allegria di questa città nelle forme più disparate: dai locali più tradizionali al folklore locale, ai personaggi più stravaganti che animano il quartiere.
In questa strada ogni muro, ogni volto è pronto a raccontarvi millenni di storia e cultura. Lasciatevi guidare dall’euforia e fatevi inondare dallo spirito accogliente di Napoli. Giusto di fianco all’hotel, si trova l’insurabile incanto del Monastero di Santa Chiara, il cui porticato è un’ oasi di pace e di bellezza.
Il Santa Chiara Boutique Hotel è permeato da un’atmosfera di pace e relax, che sa coinvolgere l’ospite e chiunque voglia costruire la propria esperienza esclusiva che, grazie alla disponibilità e ai suggeriementi del gentilissimo staff, lo porterà alla scoperta delle magnificenze, dei luoghi magici e dei segreti di Napoli.
Nelle 7 suites, il classico degli affreschi restaurati incontra un design moderno e confortevole, le finestre si affacciano sulla città, un attento restauro ha conservato molte delle caratteristiche di questo magnifico edificio (soffitti con travi originali, splendide porte dipinte, finestre alte, pavimenti in cotto antico); mentre un mix di mobili antichi e contemporanei uniti ai comfort di oggi , lo rendono aggiornato e accogliente.
Il Santa Chiara Boutique Hotel, inoltre, è situato a pochi passi dalle principali attrazioni napoletane come: il Chiostro di Santa Chiara, San Gregorio Armeno, Piazza del Gesù, Piazza San Domenico Maggiore e Cappella San Severo con il suo Cristo Velato.
Questo piccolo ed elegante hotel è un tranquillo rifugio dal caos del centro storico e offre camere belle e spaziose e un servizio personalizzato nel contesto di uno storico palazzo napoletano.
Anche i prezzi sono ragionevoli.
Il breakfast è, per dirlo alla napoletana, “nu babà”! Ho trovato tutte le prelibatezze della pasticceria napoletana, accompagnate da altre squisitezze dolci e salate, ll buffet comprende torte e le sfogliatelle del famoso negozio Scaturchio oltre a frutta freschissima, uova e omelettes a richiesta.
Una dritta: chiedete al gentilissimo Direttore Giuseppe Autorino di farvi vedere la terrazza sul tetto, da dove si gode una vista a 360 gradi della città e da cui potrete godere di uno spettacolare tramonto magari con un buon bicchiere di vino.

The nearby medieval town of Figline Valdarno was known as the “barn of Florence” for its abundant corn supplies. Grains, wine, oil, sugar beets, peaches, apricots and cherries have long been grown here. Not only…Palagio has been the summer retreat for
Named after Sting’s song “Sister Moon”
It was 1979 when the single Message in a Bottle came out and today, with hindsight, one could say after 30 years that the title was in reality a prevision. The modern fairy tale of a rich and famous singer who retires to private life in a country villa “under a Tuscan sun” can be almost perfectly applied to the Tuscan experience of Sting and his wife Trudie Styler. It came true at the Il Palagio estate in Figline Valdarno, Florence’s historic breadbasket with its rich earth and slew of producers.
Rose, Beppe Rosato is a blend of Sangiovese and other red grapes of the Tuscany tradition. It is a pink peony colour, fresh perfume with notes of pineapple and peach. Fresh smell at palate, sapid with good persistence.
Il Palagio also collects a wide variety of flavoured honeys, each with their own distinct taste and floral notes. Chestnut is dark and robust. Acacia is mild and delicate. Thousand Flowers has a rich caramel and buttery taste. Erica is runny and intense, perfect for spooning. Forest is complex and aromatic. All of our honeys are bursting with the health-giving properties for which honey has historically been renowned, notably vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
The olive trees which grace Il Palagio’s landscape date back for many hundreds of years and have been sensitively restored to full productivity. This is largely thanks to the care and dedication of Estate Manager Paolo Rossi, who insists that the orchards are not irrigated, a system which is labour-intensive but which greatly improves quality. 
Italy, the National Association Donne del Vino, established in 1988, aims to promote the knowledge and culture of wine, through the contribution of experiences and knowledge of women engaged in different but complementary sectors.
Welcome to Turin, Capital of taste!
Shall we lunch ?
‘We are a vegetale–integrale restaurant’, told me Antonio Chiodi Latini, the quite bizarre owner and creator of this minuscule venue in the center of Turin. ‘No meat, no fish, no derivates, not at all those sad unflavored vegan dishes. We don’t want to be a trendy place, We like to research , experiment and have the right knowledge of raw materials, their benefit, their taste. We propose a new approach to healthy food, whole foods, paying attention to plant-based ingredients, placing them at the center of our dishes in all their simplicity’.
and ending with the ‘chilly’ sorbet Freddoloso (90% fennel, cardamom, cream of parsley.) As drinks a healthy kombucha (fermented tea , pine needles and cones) and a delicate smoothy with fennel extract, celery. green apple, lemon, ginger and zucchini squash.

Let’ s start with the history. Many venues to visit, so I choose two of them and I adventured myself in a fascinating journey through the Royal Palace and the Savoy dynasty. The breathtaking apartments, the Royal Library, the Royal Armoury, the Savoy Gallery, the Archaeological Museum and the close Guarini’s Chapel of the Holy Shroud recently reopened to public.
The venue hosts several great exhibits, including Easy Rider, a glamorous exhibit that celebrate the magical world of motorbikes, evergreen symbol of “leaving the world behind”, “freedom”, and “speeding into the unknown”. and a great photo gallery showcasing the amazing work of Elliott Erwitt.

Canederli as a dessert.
