Friday Escape: Ravello, Italy

Hello Friends! Happy Friday! Sorry for the late post, internet troubles this morning. ugh. Okay, are you ready for your escape?

Look, I know we have already been to Italy on one of our Vicarious Vacations...but who can get enough of Italy? I mean, really. I know I can't, especially since I've never actually been there.

Sad.

So, yeah you bet I'm going to go there vicariously as much as I can! Besides, this place is a completely different feel to our last trip. I think you will love it!

Enough chit chat. Today, we are going to Ravello, Italy, along the Amalfi Coast. Map here.

Breathtaking isn't it?

I've got us booked into the Hotel Palazzo Sasso. It was ranked #8 in the World's Best Hotels for 2010 by Travel + Leisure...so I think it will fit our extremely high standards! Let's go check it out.

The Hotel, which is actually a 12th century villa, is perched 1000 ft above the glimmering Mediterranean sea. Drop dead gorgeous views are a given!

Let's go see our suite! When you travel vicariously, you should always stay in the most extravagant room, don't you think?

Please, go out onto our private terrace...the view is simply superb...

I know...amazing. I have a feeling we will back here later with a glass of something fabulous to watch the sunset!

So, since we got here so early, let's have breakfast out on the main dining terrace.

Shouldn't everyday start like this?

After we enjoy our lovely breakfast I thought we'd go on a bit of a boat ride. Gotta get some one on one time with the Amalfi coastline...

Come with me down to the lower terrace...my gorgeous friend Marco is picking us up. (Yes, Marco is imaginary...but just go with me on this one...)

Here he is now...perfect timing...meet imaginary Marco...( cue - giggle and toss hair)

Ciao!

Off we go!

Ooh...look it's the beautiful city of Positano up ahead!

So pretty! We may have to come back here sometime.

Well, I'm starving and although, Marco provides eye candy, he doesn't do much for my rumbling tummy so let's head back, eat a huge lunch and go into a food coma next to the pool. Plan?

Sit back, enjoy the Mediterranean sun and relax. I told Marco to go whip up some cocktails for us...he should be serving them any minute! ;)
