One of the best places to stay and discover the city, in our opinion, is Macdonalds Bath SPA Hotel just a short stroll from the centre.

  • Beautiful white and blue houses on a dizzily steep height, a mysterious volcano, spectacular views and luxury hotels – you can find everything on this gorgeous Island. Some writers and mystics consider Santorini to be a part of the lost continent of Atlantis. Romantic poets repeat – it’s an Island of Love. They seem to be absolutely right. It’s a unique and a MUST to visit place.

  • Andorra: a beautiful minicountry in the middle of the eastern Pyrenees; right between the French and Spanish borders. The closest airport is located 230km away in Barcelona; so it’s not the easiest place to get to. But I can say that without a doubt it is really worth it. Especially in winter, when you can enjoy some amazing scenery, with dramatic views of the Pyrenees from slopes, skiing, snowboarding or just walking along Andorra's beautiful and elegant streets.... full of Christmas lights.
