From Turkey to Greece…and the fabulous Kokkini Porta Rossa Hotel

From Marmaris Helen and I took the fast ferry, the Aegean Cat, to Rhodes.

Arriving in the port we were excited to be heading to a new hotel – the Kokkini Porta Rossa – which had just opened.

We arrived in time to enjoy breakfast – and that just set the scene for a wonderful stay.

The hotel is a glorious, luxury refuge within the UNESCO Old Town of Rhodes, away from the hustle and bustle of cruise ship passengers and day-trippers.

Enjoying Marrakech like a Sultan

During my recent visit to Marrakech, I was lucky enough to enjoy a couple of nights at La Sultana Marrakech, a top-notch hotel right in the heart of the Kasbah.

Almost hidden down an alleyway, evocatively laid with Berber carpets, and lined with lamps is this remarkably beautiful property.

Five authentic, historic riads have been painstakingly restored and sympathetically brought together to create an intimate, yet 5 star hotel. With guest suites over-looking tranquil courtyards with pools and small gardens, and an acclaimed restaurant serving French and Moroccan cuisine it’s a temptation to stay put and not leave the premises.

From the roof terrace bar and restaurant, one can view the remarkable Saadian Tombs from the dining tables, or look a little further and one has the quintessential springtime view of Marrakesh old town rooftops, the city’s ancient ramparts and in the distance the snow-capped Atlas mountains.
