Nice to stay - Maastricht

 
 
Exactly one week ago I was in Maastricht. Purpose of the trip was meeting some other bloggers from the south of the Netherlands. And we met in a beautiful place: Townhouse Design Hotel. The hotel is perfectly situated, just around the corner of the railway station in the trendy quarter of Maastricht: Wyck.
Wyck is the place to be: beautiful renovated townhouses, often filled with specialty shops. Good news is that the shops are also open on Sunday! Wyck offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and tearooms. 
When you have explored Wyck you just have to cross the bridge and you're in the city center of Maastricht.

But let's get back to the Townhouse Desigh Hotel. A home away from home, that's what they want to be... And that's what they are! Homey atmosphere in a design environment.  
 
 
A pot of soup on the stove, for you to serve yourself, a hammock in the lobby, board games, comfortable couches, coffee and tea for you to take as you wish.
They make something special from day to day business.
 



Rooms are cozy, clean, small or big, with rainshower or bath. Breakfast is served in the living room and full of local specialties. 
 


So should you spend some days in Maastricht, Townhouse Design Hotel is the place to stay. For reservations: www.townhousehotels.nl

Rome

Mother's Day 2012, already some time ago... but...
The present I got from the boys: A city trip of my choice - in Europe, specifically added (they know me too well I'm afraid!)
And so, last Friday, after work, we left for...
ROME
The city of my choice - this time :)

We spent 4 full days in this beautiful city and had a great time.
Very busy, soo many tourists!
Luckily we bought our entrance tickets for the Colesseum and the Vatican Museum online
(make sure you do that too should you travel to Rome!), the lines were amazingly long.

 Quiet outside (rain!)...
 Busy inside!

Of course, I had to try my luck at the Trevi fountain
 
 
The next day the sun accompanied us at the Colosseum:
 
 Old & new (can you spot the heli?):


 

 Piazza Navona is also a must-see!
 
 
 Reminding me of Place du Tertre in Paris:


 
Many more pictures made of course, but this is the selection I chose!
 
And for now, I'm just wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Take care & enjoy!
