Travel Style Guide

Double Room Sea View at Hotel Il Pellicano

Wanderlust hits us hard these times and miracles do happen. It was yesterday when a note from Italy, from the CEO of Pellicano Hotels (which besides legendary Il Pellicano also includes La Posta Vecchia and Mezzatorre Resort on the island of Ischia) reached us announcing a soon-to-be-released reopening date. When you experience times like this, you get to appreciate real killer-hotels, and Il Pellicano is one of the hotels that totally come up to its hype. This travel style guide is here for you to mentally pack the bags so that we can leave as soon as the travel restrictions are lifted.
Price: EUR 347,00 per double room and night.

Johnson Sunglasses by Ben & Frank

This is a brand I discovered strolling around Mexico City last summer. I got my first pair before my road trip through one of the most amazing countries in the world.

Paraggi Giallo Swimsuit by Ripa Ripa

Think of Il Pellicano or Soho House towels, a Negroni, the blue Mediterranean Sea - Life is good! Absolutely love a classy and timeless design when it comes to swimsuits.

A true Italian brand who produces every piece in Italy. Love stopping by in their flagship store in Brera, Milan to stroll through the amazing collection of sunglasses.
