Dinner: Malibu Hosteria del Pesce Democratico
For our forth evening in Ladispoli we wanted to try something new. From our hotel we got a recommondation for Malibu Beach Club.
The restaurant is a rustic building at the beach. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b56bb7f6c3.jpg Due to the time of the year it was relative empty. I liked the logo. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f7fa2717ba.jpg They donīt have an English menu but they explained their dishes for us. They also explained that they only use local fish from sustainable fishing. We started with a selection of starters. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...245df73f7d.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f0fadb9b24.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...360ca9258a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...58b1027f1a.jpg Next Spagetthi with mussles. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...392ab4d851.jpg Desserts https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b2ba2d111a.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...56c921f50d.jpg We enjoyed our meal as it was tasty and as we paid 80 for us 2 I found it also good value. |
Bologna: Grand Hotel Majestic giā Baglioni
The next morning we drove to Bologna for our next hotel. We booked the Majestic which is part of the Leading Hotels of the World and the only 5 star hotel in Bologna. Prices are pretty high, especially for suites. Our One Bedroom Suite was 1300,00 per night.
Reaching the hotel is a pain in the .... Bologna is a limited traffic zone and you are only allowed to drive one way. If you took another street you must pay a fine As no navigation system knows the correct way itīs useless. The hotel itself is not easy to find, from the street it looks not really like a hotel. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...55c512793d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9d413d7d21.jpg The lobby is classic with a lot of marble. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b87f5aa368.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f541e86e25.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...210065734d.jpg On the different floors are seating groups and artworks https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8743e5274e.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9e87a998a2.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c1743da3e2.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...af45acebf6.jpg Pictures of famous guests https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e48f0ec95d.jpg Piano https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5db56c73ef.jpg Parts of an ancient street. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1a94209dbd.jpg |
Bologna: Grand Hotel Majestic giā Baglioni
Our One Bedroom Suite 241 was located on the second floor.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ffd7e59b1f.jpg When we entered we thought: "Welcome to grandmothers dream!" The suite was furnished with antiques but feeled more dated than luxurious. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a2df7cfa19.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6bca7dd9b4.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...268b8eccd4.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9da9821aa8.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...63f51e2cca.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8e070e91e7.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...51860eecad.jpg The suite had not really much of a view: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8dfd73ac83.jpg The bathroom was OK, but a little bit old fashioned. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f56399aa10.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6f95ebd3c4.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...56b25dde04.jpg Worst thing was the toilet. The picture is not 100% accurate as it not shows some brown deposits. But I guess you can see that it was everything else than clean. Disgusting! https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8926fd0176.jpg |
Bologna: Grand Hotel Majestic giā Baglioni
Breakfast was served in a cellar room with very few windows. While the choices were OK, quality wasnīt. Lowest point were the scrambled eggs. The cakes were good. You could order more items for an extra charge.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fad2af6bd7.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a0362fc674.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ec1112d75b.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...334c6f6b2a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fe3d2dbd3f.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7e68a597cd.jpg A breakfast to forget. |

Bologna: Basilica San Petronio
San Petronio is the main church of Bologna and much bigger than the cathedral. The facade is unfinished.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...af0c6ee987.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...88eaebbcb7.jpg Inside itīs especially worth seeing because of its size and the Meridian Line. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9644f5149d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...da49300fd9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3ae70d0063.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2129e87311.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ad0b6cdea5.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4344a98918.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dfa557a9ef.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ea0989da91.jpg |

Bologna: Due Torri
Once Bologna had many Towers, some think it were 180. The only 2 remaining are Garisenda and Asinelli in the centre of Bologna. Both towers are crooked. From time to time you can also go inside and climb them, but we didnīt.
