Faena Miami Beach
Tales from Faena Miami Beach
Picture yourself entering a realm where refined opulence intertwines with quirky artistry, a realm where each instant effortlessly fuses sumptuous intricacies with laid-back simplicity. This is the exclusive world I entered during my recent Faena Miami Beach stay!
My experience began in the lobby, which is also known as the Cathedral. There, we were surrounded by eight richly colored 10 x 15’ murals by Argentine artist Juan Gatti and 23K gold-leafed columns. As we continued through the Cathedral, we gazed upon glass doors with views straight through to the ocean. And this was just the beginning!
We made sure to experience every magical detail of this magnificent property! Below is a sampling of what we enjoyed.

Last month, I attended DUCO Italy, an Italian luxury travel event showcasing Italy’s best luxury properties and experiences. The event, usually held in Florence, was held for the first time in Milan this year, and it was an incredible experience.I captured this video during a coffee break from a balcony at the Palazzo Giureconsulti on my last day of appointments. It was a beautiful view on a beautiful day that felt quite perfect. As I recorded, baby tears welled up as I embraced the overwhelming feeling of joy. I am incredibly blessed to have found a career combining 3 of my favorite things: people, travel, and learning. Milan is one of those places that travelers tend to use as a quick starting or ending point when visiting Italy. After spending just over a week there, I have a newfound love and appreciation for this magnificent city. It’s buzzing with energy and beautifully blends old and new. Its location between the foothills of the Alps and the expansive Po Valley alone points to its brilliance.There is so much to the city, requiring more than a day or two to fully uncover. Want to experience Milan’s architectural splendor, design delights, culinary excellence, fashion icons, and cultural gems? Give Mer Bleue a call. We’ll help you uncover the essence of Milan!
Nestled within the heart of Bologna, Italy, lies an architectural wonder—the porticoes. Each charming covered walkway is different from the next. Noble stone or biscuit brick in Renaissance palaces and reinforced concrete in post-war, buildings, they aren't just practical; they're a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and social identity. They’re such a significant value to Bologna that they were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021. Whether you're seeking shade from the summer sun or shelter from a passing rain shower, the porticos offer both refuge and inspiration. But they are more than just architectural marvels; they're living, breathing symbols of Bologna's unique character. From cozy cafes tucked away beneath their arches to bustling markets brimming with local delicacies, every corner reveals a new delight waiting to be discovered.So next time you find yourself in Bologna, don't just walk the streets—immerse yourself in the magic of the porticoes. Let their timeless beauty guide you on a journey through the soul of this enchanting city. #Bologna #Porticoes #Italy #TravelMagic #MerBleueTRavel #VirtuosoTavelAdvisor
