The last couple of weeks it’s been all about Florence in the blog. I’ve compiled lists of my favorite restaurants in the city, top hidden gems as well as the city’s best viewpoints. This week, expect a full city itinerary of more hidden gems, the classics and my favorite shopping in the city. 👀 Now who’s ready for that long, hot, gelato-filled Italian summer?

Puglia in the spring. About this time last year for @amuree_apulia Heading to Puglia this summer? Make sure to download my Puglia Map for the best, local recs in Puglia for your trip. There’s honestly no better guide out there, if I may say so myself 👀

While there’s nothing wrong with a 20th visit to Paris or Rome, if you’re looking for some alternative European destinations to visit this year then, welcome to Sofia. Bulgaria’s capital is small and compact but has plenty to do for a fantastic weekend away. Its creative dining scene is up there, as are its wonderful parks, churches and cafes. Count this as your sign to visit the Bulgarian capital. Guides coming soon.

Outtakes from the Red Flat, Sofia. This apartment-turned-museum recreates life in the 1980s Communist Bulgaria with uncanny, immersive detail. Brilliant, slightly eerie and totally fascinating window into Bulgaria’s not so distance past. It also looked very much like my grandma’s apartment.

Forget Tuscany. Welcome to Basilicata. This southern Italian province which neighbours Puglia, is home to the Lucan Dolomites and these two darling twin villages, Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa. Both villages are known for their dramatic setting- perched high in the mountains surrounded by rocky peaks but they are highly accessible and filled with fantastic things to do, including Italy’s longest zip line. Yes, you can zip line across the mountains from one village to the other! And… located just an hour drive from Matera, there’s no excuse not to visit. My complete guide to Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa is online now. Would you visit?
