A Relaxing Stay At Villa Cao In Cagliari, Sardinia
Villa Cao is a haven of tranquility and rest if you are looking for a place to stay in Cagliari, Sardinia. I was given the family room during my stay and it was spacious and welcoming. The bed and breakfast, Villa Cao, has a beautiful setting and is set back from the road, so there is absolutely no traffic noise. I slept very well during my stay there. I also liked having my own private entrance to the room. It was clean and comfortable. You should know that the shower in this particular room is very small if having a large shower is important to you. The room has a…

Hospitality. Italians must have invented the word. Everywhere I go in Italy, I feel like people are aiming to please, to make sure that I am comfortable. The Bed and Breakfast Bella Trapani displays this Italian virtue and is a great place to stay during your visit to Trapani.

A Casa di Amici: A Friendly Hostel In Palermo
A Casa di Amici is a great choice for a hostel in Palermo. The owners stay on the property and were very friendly and helpful.

They had a great common area to chill out and meet other guests. Santo makes drums and his drums were on display throughout the hostel. The architecture of…

The Sanctuary Resort at Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand
I ended my three months of traveling throughout Indonesia and Sri Lanka at the Sanctuary Resort in Thailand. There were things I absolutely loved about it and some things that weren’t so great. I wasn’t expecting it to be, but for those who don’t know this, it’s definitely not a resort. I tend to shy away from “resorts”, so this was fine by me. However, I did find the Sanctuary to be outrageously overpriced, especially by Thailand standards. I paid around $45/night, and that was for a room with no air conditioning and a very uncomfortable hard bed. To use the restroom, I had to enter a door next to…

Clock Inn-A Cheap Hotel In Colombo, Sri Lanka
If you are looking for a cheap hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the Clock Inn is a good place to stay. It is in a great location on Galle Road close to good restaurants such as the Barefoot Garden Cafe and The Gallery Cafe. The room is stylish, though small, in the European fashion. It is fairly clean. I did find several hairs on the floor, so it’s not immaculately clean, but clean enough. There are both private rooms and dorm rooms. The private rooms have AC, free Wi-Fi, a TV with LCD flat screen, and hot water. They are $50 a night. The dorm rooms are $16 a night and…
