Hotel Viu Milan

Last week I visited Milan, Italy for the first time. The hotel I stayed is located in the North of Milan very close to Chinatown. To travel to the centre of Milan there are a few metro stations located near to the hotel. The metro is very easy to understand and the journey doesn’t take long.

The Rooms

The rooms were lovely and spacious. When I woke in the morning I had a wonderful view of the sunrise over the city, as dawn broke the room was filled with amazing light. The bathroom had excellent bright lighting and all facilities that you expect and more, bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer, etc. In the bedroom there was an Nespresso machine and also a kettle. We were given complimentary bottles of water every day and there was also a mini bar in the room with snacks. The bed was very comfy and plenty of wardrobe space for all the clothing I had taken.

The Breakfast 

The Breakfast room is located on the Viu Terrace which is on the top floor of the hotel. During the summer months you are able to have breakfast outside on the terrace and during the winter it’s inside. The views are spectacular. In this case we sat inside and it was absolutely lovely. The pancakes were delicious and the coffee was one of the best I have ever had.

Swimming Pool 

The swimming pool is beautiful and would have loved to have sat around it for a few hours. But sadly on the occasion it was too cold. As we visited in the month of November. Hopefully when I  return it will be warm enough to take a dip whilst enjoying this amazing view of Milano.

If you’re planning a visit to Milan then I would truly recommend Hotel Viu Milan for your stay!

Paris – L’Avenue

On the 15th of April 2017, after a whole day of looking around Paris and the Catacombs. We went to have dinner at L’avenue, which is a very popular and well known restaurant to go to because of all the celebrities that have been and you can spot now and then like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West also the rest of the Kardashian family and Jenners, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and many other celebrities, most of them you might spot during Paris Fashion Week. Luckily I had reserved a table and we got in because while walking through to eat on the second floor, the restaurant was completely full when we arrived around 8PM. I suggest to book if you want to eat here for Lunch or Dinner. The staff were very efficient and friendly when bringing you to your table. The food is really good and a big range of choices for Starters and Main Courses. I ordered sliced avocado as starter and a steak with french fries as main course. Only I wouldn’t touch the candles or move them as they go off with moving it the slightest, which happened twice to our table. I would definitely come back again when around in Paris. The location is perfect as it’s not too far from Champs-Élysées and it’s between a lot of expensive brands shopping street. I would rate this a 5 out of 5
