The smell of freshly baked bread hits me. The bright Mediterranean sun shines into my eyes. I turn around one more time in my comfortable bed. How wonderful it is to wake up in a unique Bed & Breakfast… When I, just a bit later, sit down for breakfast, my hostess quickly puts down a bowl of juicy figs, freshly picked from her garden. “Mangia, Eliza” she urges me and she hurries to the kitchen to get a loaf of fresh bread from the oven. They come with a swimming pool or are super romantic. Generosity and hospitality, that's what I love about a B&B!
In a B&B you’ll stay in the host’s beautiful home and be served a delicious breakfast in the morning. And as we’re talking about the Mediterranean, you’ll probably receive something along the lines of fresh, buttery croissants, local bread, and patisserie, or figs and nectarines straight from the garden.
Beyond the obvious though, a B&B also means having access to the host and all their local tips and stories. And that’s the same whether you’re in Portugal, Spain, Italy, or elsewhere.
Be quick, because they can fill up pretty fast.
Everyone knows that I prefer not to stay amongst tourists. Give me a spot to holiday in the middle of nature and close to the locals. The various B&Bs I have discovered during my travels are always in quiet locations, away from the crowd. They are run by the most passionate owners, and the personal service they provide always makes me feel right at home. They proudly tell stories about how their unique B&B was created and how it has been furnished with great love and an eye for detail.
You can feel the love in such a small-scale Bed & Breakfast in every corner. You can count on a warm welcome here! So don't be surprised when, for example, there is a welcome package waiting for you on arrival.
If you book a package holiday with me, It always includes stay plus rental car!
