Best of both worlds...a name you can trust and decadence you can depend on..lol

I could not review a fantastic one of a kind vacation opportunity without mentioning one of my personal favorites. I know this is not an obscure find and the luxury is that which one would expect from any Four Seasons location worldwide, however their Florence Italy hotel is particularly SPECTACULAR!

The Trompe l'oeil and frescoed ceilings coupled with the lavish furnishings and uber attentive staff make this a must stay vacation location!!!

Looking for a fabulous, once in a lifetime, VACATION IDEA?????

In preparation for the home review that is coming soon (sorry :)) here is a little something to hold you over...while these are vacation spots, not primary residences per se, when you live the best life, everday is a holiday..lol.


With the summer upon us, and the global recession continuing it is important to make the MOST of every vacation opportunity. That beind said, while these next few spots offer a priceless experience they are a bit pricey and top the list of Conde Nast's best vacation destinations.
