Poggio del Sole is a Guest House in Montesilvano, located in Strada Giardino 76, Citta’ Sant’Angelo
Poggio del Sole means a dream, the dream of realizing a place which is unique in its genre. A restaurant which relies on the quality of its food and services, where the suggestions about the menu match the produce in season and the shopping of the day; where everything is set in a refined atmosphere. The chance of spending the night in comfortable and fine rooms, large meeting rooms and work lunches; the typical tavern in rustic style where to spend pleasant evenings with friends, open-air spaces for buffets and concerts, tennis courts and football grounds along with playgrounds for the youngest ones. Poggio del sole…when dreams come true.
For the hosts we have 7 rooms on the first floor and two on the ground floor. Furnishing plays on harmony between rustic and elegant. No detail are left. All the rooms have internal services and are equipped with telephone and satellite tv.
If you are thinking of spending a weekend or a holiday amidst the greenness of the Abruzzo countryside, Poggio del Sole is the right place for you. Nine comfortable, hospitable and well-furnished rooms, in the respect for our country living traditions.
In the green hill of Abruzzo, amidst vineyards and olive trees, with the Gran Sasso and Maiella mountains in the background and overlooking the Adriatic Sea, there stands Poggio del Sole Country House which will introduce you to a new reality, where elegance blends nicely with the simplicity of the country. Poggio del Sole is 7 km away from the motorway exit of Pescara North (namely A-14), only 2 km away from the historical centre of Città S. Angelo and 16 km from the main town of Pescara. Because of its favourable geographical position and the transport facilities, it’s possible to reach not only the beaches of the Adriatic (which are only 8 km away) but also the sky-plants, the parkland areas and the interesting historical towns of our region.

Chamonix Haute Savoie France is a prestigious holiday destination with the awe inspiring Monte Bianco and majestic glaciers. The group enjoy going hiking or from time to time taking the tourist train. I invariably fly from Norfolk and stay at a Chamonix self catered chalet during my holiday.
My friends and I used to visited Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside unfortunately it sometimes didn’t meet the standards of its description: Overlooking the Blackcomb and Whistler ski lifts, this boutique hotel is one block from Whistler Village Square, two blocks from the Whistler Conference Centre, and approximately 85 Vancouver International Airport. Amenities include 24-hour front desk, meeting rooms, babysitting, daily housekeeping, Interet kiosk (w/fee), business services, laundry services, valet parking, year-round outdoor, heated pool, two whirlpools, a steam room, fitness center’s exercise equipment and spa treatment menu.
In comparison in Chamonix Mont Blanc the chalet is nearly always fine. As well dining out in our groups number one French restaurant, Full House Snack Shop, scoffing italian is a pleasure. Chamonix Mont Blanc France is a large enough place to guarantee that there is lots for the snowboarder to do. Amongst other things it includes a husky sledding centre and a plethora of night-clubs, Chamonix offers a mix of snowboarding, old town charm and sightseeing which not many resorts can beat.

Windsor Castle is assumed to be the largest colonised castles on the globe & the oldest in nonstop occupation (around 900 years). It’s 1 of the Queen’s three certified homes, & is often thought to be her outright most adored home. The Royal colours flies above the Round Tower of Windsor Castle whenever Queen Elizabeth 2nd is at the palace - yet, at other occasions, the Union Jack flag soars in its place.
Samuel Pepys remarked the Castle to be “the most loving castle on the planet.” That was alleged in sixteen sixty six and the equivalent has been said today.
Windsor Castle Enthralling History:
The history of Windsor lies in the early seventh century Saxon hamlet of Windlesora, where the present day community of Old Windsor can be located. The settlement of Windsor is commonly recognised as “New Windsor” - the phrase “new” being used in a relative sense!
Windsor Castle built by the illustrious William the Conqueror, as a result of his attack of England in ten sixty six. The original building was put up from lumber with ground fortifications. Palace held a comprehensible strategic position on a steep hill overlooking the River Thames, and was part of a set of palaces in the region the City, with the Tower of London, one day’s ride away, at its hub. Click here to find out more information about Windsor castle.
The Palace was later remade in stone, and grew in importance over time. Later on Henry 2nd made the Round Tower & the original stone outer wall. Following the English Civil War, the building’s primary role became that of a royal residence. The Castle has stayed essentially unaffected since the early nineteenth century, apart from the reconstruction effort following the latest fire in 1992.

Life materializes to be calm and complacent and all the worries gradually peter out as one enters the beautiful seaside town- Portsmouth. The city that was initially a ship building center has a rich historical past that is even reflected in the preset day life and functioning of it. Portsmouth has undergone emergence and downfalls but now it has established itself as an adorable and cherished tourist destination.
The Pleasures of Portsmouth
The town of Portsmouth is blessed with a wonderful location at the sea shore. This facilitates a horde of water games and activities that act as a pull to the vacationers and even the locals all round the year. There are luxurious cruises to the bay, the Isles of Shoals, activities like whale watching etc.
Water activities never sleep at the Water Country that is the largest New England water park. The park has some of the mind boggling rides for instance the Black Hole that gives you the terrific experience of a roller coaster, so is Warp 8-a twisting and spherical tube ride. Other enjoyable rides at the place include Ollie Octopus-one of the rides deeply cherished by the kids, Double Dive Boggan, Racing Rapids, Plunge and Pirate Lagoon etc. Kids can also take a wonder ride at the Tug Alley Too. From here children can take home all types of Theodore Tugboat products. Besides, there are books, gifts, garments etc. too at sale.
The Museum Delight
Portsmouth has a multitude of worth visiting museums. The oldest of museums here is the Strawbery Banke Museum. This museum encounters you with the town’s distinguished architectural history which can be a great learning experience. The Historic Garden here is an ideal place for all the flora lovers for the garden displays some of the most exclusive species in the world. Lilac, Hemlock, magnificent Victorian Gardens, colonial raised kitchen gardens…are a common sight here. The museum is thrown open for visitors during the month of summer from 1st May to the 31st of October. The majestic place can also be explored between 1st November and 30th April.
A visit must also be paid to the John Paul Jones House Museum that has a superb gathering of clothing, guns, chinaware, wedding gowns, furniture and other belongings of the captain and his wife.
Not to be overlooked on the land of Portsmouth is the beautiful and grand mansion The Moffat-Ladd home and garden. The mansion that is a paradigm example of Georgian architecture is bordered by archaic gardens that cover more than an acre of land. A stroll amongst the lovely chestnut trees can be a lifetime experience. The mansion has some exotic woodwork carvings inside that are enough to steal the gaze of all visitors.
The Wentworth-Gardner House is another historic Georgian mansion that that too has a tail hanging behind. The place is bedecked with excellent furniture, huge gardens, a barn, a wharf and other buildings.
The Tobias Lear House of the Tobias Lear V who served as the secretary of George Washington is also a laudable place to go to. The oldest colonial paintings can be relished at the worldwide known The Warner House.
Other Attractions
In order to have a brush with submarine history and technology, the USS Albacore is the perfect place. St. John’s Church where President George Washington had attended services on 1st November 1789, has summoned numerous visitors for all times. The pleasure of Deep Sea Fishing and Whale Watching can be experienced on a five hours cruise to gaze at the whales.
Last but not the least shopping can be a real fun in Portsmouth for the things you purchase will be devoid of sales tax. There is no end to the list of material available here. From antiques, jewelry to garments, furniture and food items, all are at hand.

Saddle up. One of the best ways to visit our mountains is to visit our back country via a guided horseback ride..

Newark Airport has caused much confusion by changing its name to Newark Liberty Airport recently, and also with that code of EWR, but at least there is little confusion when it comes to Newark Airport Parking. People flying out of JFK and LaGuardia have a mini nightmare to deal with every time they dare leave New York City, but things in north Jersey are under control. The cheap land in the airport area has given us an Ikea store, but also an abundance of cheap lots where we can securely leave our cars when we go on vacation.
Only a few times a year do these lots fill up, and when they do you’ll be glad you decided in advance to reserve a space. Several of these places offer this luxury now, but it’s actually the same price as normal drive-up service. The benefit is that instead of coming to Newark Airport and then going from one lot to another looking for one with open spaces or at least a short line out front, all you have to do is pull up, show them your confirmation sheet, and then toss them the keys before boarding the shuttle bus to the terminal. It’s totally worth it even if you aren’t sure the places will be busy or not.

If you are heading to Miami, or anywhere else in that area, you’ll be happy to know that getting cheap airfare to Miami is usually quite easy. Especially from the New York City area there are flights leaving every few minutes and prices for seats on them can be shockingly low. Check prices out of all three New York City airports to make sure you are getting the best deal. Another really cool feature is that one-way tickets between these areas are also weirdly cheap most of the time. There are so many people who spend long periods of time in both places that the airlines realize the one-way ticket market is huge so they all have to compete to get these travelers.
From other parts of the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world, getting cheap flights is still not too difficult. The first price that comes up in your search results will usually be pretty good, but if it’s not try moving around your travel days a bit. Everyone wants to fly on or near the weekend, so if you can fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday you can often get a cheap ticket just a week or two before you leave.
The other good trick is to check Fort Lauderdale Airport. It’s only about 30 miles north of Miami’s airport, and more low-cost carriers fly into that one. The airport is so close to metropolitan Miami that you will barely notice the difference, and if you rent a car you’ll actually be better off in some cases because you can be in Palm Beach even faster from this airport.
