Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa
“The pink grande dame of Cape Town! Great hotel with beautiful gardens with lavender and rose bushes, a cool pool and Table Mountain in the background. The hotel – over a hundred years old – visibly dates from colonial times, but has all modern facilities. The suites are elegant, with marble bathrooms and specially designed furniture. Great location too, close to the Jewish Museum and the cozy Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Recommended: the famous afternoon tea on the terrace.
Water taxi, Venice
“When you arrive at Venice airport, the best way to get to your hotel is via a classic Riva-like water taxi. You first cross open water, then via the canals through the old city, until you are dropped off at the jetty of your hotel. The perfect arrival!”
El Chirinquito, Playa Es Cavallet, Ibiza
“Nice place. The route there is also cool, along the salt fields. We always have a table on the beach, so our feet are in the sand. You will be completely happy there with a plate of pata negra and a jug of sangria with cava.”
Signal Hill, Cape Town, South Africa
“This hill north of Table Mountain got its name, Signal Hill, in colonial times. From there, flags and shots were fired to warn ships of bad weather, for example. From the hill you have a beautiful view of the city center, Table Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and all the paragliders that dive into the abyss there. Very surreal to see them take off and just jump off the mountain.”
Annabel's, London, England
“One of the most famous member clubs in the world with several restaurants. If you are not a member, you cannot make a reservation. You've never seen anything like it! The institution! Over the top with flowers, palm trees and gold. As much as 100 million euros has been invested in this.”
