For a business trip top Hong-Kong I chose Air France to experiment for the first time this premium class and gain some miles. Actually it was not a bad idea and more or less a good value even if this company is not know for its luxury… At least it offers constant and pretty good service with a seat that…
Long week-end troughout Italy visiting Pisa, Florence and Roma in 4 days, so beautiful… As usually we didn’t prepare our stay except hotel bookings and it was a pretty good idea for this trip. You have so many monuments or museum to see that you don’t need to mind about a specific tour. For the first time we used the…

Well, good choice but only thanks to the Presidential Suite I booked because common areas and general service quality is not at…
Located in the east coast of Phuket facing Andaman sea, Banyan Tree Phuket is the brand’s flagship and a multi-awards winner, especially for its SPA ; it is part of the holding Laguna Resort which groups Banyan Tree Phulet, Dusi Thani Phuket, Angsana Phuket. We booked a DoublePool Villa – the category you see on magazine each time they deal with…
