Oft as the morning ray
Visits these eyes, waking at once I cry,
Whence this excess of joy?
What has befallen me?
And from within a thrilling voice replies,
Thou art in Rome!
A thousand busy thoughts
Rush on my mind, a thousand images;
And I spring up as girt to run a race! Author, Samuel Rogers
Set in a Liberty style building on the famed via Veneto, in the heart of La Dolce Vita, it is complete with panoramic views of the city and close to the most famous sites of the Roman capital like Villa Borghese Gardens, Piazza di Spagna, and the church of Trinita dei Monti. And, just in case you’re in need of some “retail therapy”–the Hotel is extremely close to the famed shopping street via Condotti. It is no surprise that Regina Hotel is a favorite meeting place for the international jet set.
Oh How I Love being the ultimate “Escapeseeker!” By the way, we are scheduled to begin filming our premiere episode in September in one of the most photogenic cities in the world–VENICE! As many of you know, for a ‘water baby like me’ it’s only natural for me to be totally in love with Venice…as I’ve written before, “It was love at first sight!” So it is only apropos that for our premiere on-hour long ESCAPESEEKER special, that we follow my heart back to Venice. Come with me as we cruise the Grand Canal…or take in a magical concert beneath the stars at Piazza San Marco. With the Venice Film Festival in full force at that same time, who knows which Hollywood A-lister will end up joining for its many post premiere parties? No, you’re thinking Italy’s favorite son–George Clooney? Come on, not again. We’ve already partied with him before at Ciprianis…lasted until dawn. Let’s be original now. Let’s party at the beautiful Luna Baglioni. Oh my gosh, the food there at Canova Restaurant is BLISSFUL! If you are in the mood to be pampered, then walk to the 5-star Luna Baglioni and allow Chef Roberto to mesmerize your palate. You’ll totally understand the experience they call the Magic of Serenissima!

And, honestly, it will become perfectly clear why Roy and I are now considering moving the family headquarters to Italy! đŸ™‚
Ciao Bella,
