Lecce is such a beautiful city and it takes just one hour from Ostuni to get there. For work and pleasure we travelled to this amazing city with the kids and we stayed in the absolute most beautiful Borgo we have seen so far named: Palazzo Sant'anna. 
I don't even know where to begin because there is to much to share about this place and everything was just perfect. 
we stayed in a family room which was absolutely perfect for us ( 2 adults and four kids ) we had plenty space and the family room has two bedrooms. 
The smell in the rooms was so lovely, it was a flowering- pleasant smell that makes you feel calm. The suite is beautiful it has multiple styles in one such as modern, classic and baroque. It had all the luxury you wish for and the bath in the bedroom adds a lot. 
There was a welcome note from the owner Beatrice and my compliments to her because she did a amazing job the last years by renovating the enormous palazzo but the outcome is just amazing. 
Some of 16 allergy-free rooms at this Lecce property are furnished with a sofa and a desk, as well as a minibar, coffee and tea making facilities. The private bathrooms have nice details such as a hairdryer and towels. Certain rooms have a city view and some of the unique terraces of the borgo. 

When you think of breakfast you think of a simple egg some fruit en bread maybe. But Palazzo Sant'anna gives you more than that. Fresh baked cake, focaccia, all kinds of cheese and I haven't even mentioned the decorations. The room is filled with love and precise details. 
We haven't been able to test out the SPA, but we will come back definitely and enjoy this palazzo even more. 
The Palazzo is not really easily to reach by car so you have to park further away or you pay €30 a day for a parking provided by Palazzo Sant'anna. 
Within five minutes you walk into the main Street of Lecce with many restaurants and bars and cute little shops. 

Our family suite was on the third floor and I was a little scared with walking up the stairs but it all went good. 
the children loved the suite and especially the bath. 
I can only say this was one heavenly stay.

Relais Villa Delle Rose

In Lecce - Puglia 

For my 31th birthday we went to Lecce in Puglia. Only one and a half hour away from where we live in Puglia. 
I had contact with Relais Delle Rose for some days before we arrived, they were very kind and helpfull. Because we drove through a storm from Martina Franca to Lecce we arrived later than expected, but the girl from the reception was so kind to meet us with her car so we could drive after her. 
the first impression was the driveway that made us feel arrive so free. the driveway is surrounded by green palm trees and we could hear the crickets. 
you can park your car in front of the Villa which is really nice for unloading bags with three little kids. 
the entrance was so impressive and beautiful. 
the suite was also the best because our suite had entrance to two balcony's from both sides. 
the beds were really comfortable maybe also because we took our own duvet. 
I never like the thin bed sheet. Also the bathroom is beautiful blue painted and was really big. 
Only the shower can't be called a shower, more like a tap that was a shame because the rest was so beautiful. 
I never had such a lovely breakfast before in Italy as I had at Relais villa delle Rose. The best coffee, the best yoghurt, the most delicious eggs, and toast. The kids loved their breakfast and we did to. 
maybe because it is after season but the pool wasn't maintained and the dogs of the owner were walking free around. 

But the place was magical and it was truly amazing to stay at the beautiful Relais Villa Delle Rose.

Hilton Hotel gave us the most warm and lovely welcome you can imagine. We stayed there for a couple of days and celebrated the birthday of a family member.

When we enter the amazing suite they had a amazing surprise for us, they made a cake for us there was champagne and a beautiful card where they selected all the pictures of us during are trip through Italy. 

The rooms are big and very comfortable, also for children it is the best hotel to stay.

We could stay in a double Family room suite, which means that the children had their own room and there is only one door between the two rooms. So you have your privacy but still you can enjoy together.

Chateau St. Gerlach Limburg

In Limburg - Holland 

Not once, not twice but many times St. Gerlach invited us to stay. When you are in Holland and you prefer to have a very luxurious but calm stay you must visit St. Gerlach. especially with children this is the best place to go, you also see a lot of older couples going there because it is so chique and many people who live in Holland know this place.

Because we have been there many times before it feels like coming home but then in the perfect home.

It had an amazing view from every room, the service is the best we have ever experienced and there is even een big swimming pool. Whenever we are in holland we will visit St. Gerlach.

We will visit them again definitely because when you stay there you will not leave the suite often because it feels so nice staying inside of the hotel.

It is funny because we were in Rome to celebrate my birthday but we almost did not left our Suite because it was so nice to stay there. The service is beyond good and also the decoration was very chique but comfortable. 

The suite was small but still it had everything you needed. 

Also the bathroom was a dream, the shower was so big and lovely.

MICHELIN RESTAURANT INVITATION

For my birthday I have been invited to have diner at the most beautiful place in Amsterdam old south named: Brasserie van Baerle. Truly a culinair and high end experience. they made a special menu for me and my quests and we enjoyed the most lovely evening. Brasserie van Baerle is a very luxury but warm and cozy restaurant.

The service is more than good and the restaurant has a beautiful garden but is still near the centre of Amsterdam.

Usually it is not the most well known pace to eat with children, but our little princess loved it and ate her favorite fries and a delicious dessert. The owner is a very kind and beautiful woman named Floor. You really can see that she put all her love and work in her restaurant but also training her staff. 

Thank you for the warm and lovely experience.

HOTEL LA BUSSOLA AMALFI

We were traveling for three months through Italy with our children, and on the way back to Lucca we wanted to stop for one night at the Amalfi coast, but it turned out we liked it more than we thought and we stayed there for two weeks.One week on invitation of the Hotel and one week we booked for extra. We fell in love with the Amalfi coast a lot, it has the most romantic and calm atmosphere and the people are so lovely.

The hotel is beautiful located only a few steps away from the sea.

EATING AT MICHELIN RESTAURANT DE KLOKKENSTOEL

We got invited by the sweetest Brother and Sister the two owners of this restaurant. It was truly nice that I could bring my parents to this very exclusive place in Friesland. We went there with the boat and we had such a amazing evening there. They did everything they could to make us feel welcome and the food and the wine was beyond delicious, not regular taste as you may know but very particular combination of fish and vegetables. 

You really could taste the love that they put into their work, and that was truly a next level experience having diner at the klokkenstoel. 

I always like to share every beautiful moment and celebrate with the people that I care about so that was why I took my father and his wife with us. Fleuri is such a calm and sweet little girl that for her it was no problem at all to sit at the restaurant all evening.
