CAPRI
According to Andy
Perché Capri ha sempre avuto qualcosa di diverso. È un luogo dove il tempo rallenta quel tanto che basta per permettere alle cose belle di accadere. Dove le amicizie sembrano più profonde, le giornate più leggere e dove nascono amori che probabilmente non potrebbero nascere altrove.
Se le sue fotografie fossero state scattate a Capri nell’estate del 2026, immagino avrebbero avuto questi indirizzi annotati sul retro:
Dormire al @qvisisanacapri e concedersi ogni sera un aperitivo sulla sua iconica terrazza. Non per il panorama, ma per osservare il piccolo teatro dell’isola: gli arrivi, gli incontri casuali, le promesse di cena che diventano notti memorabili.
Pranzare e trascorrere il pomeriggio @da_luigi_ai_faraglioni, con lo sguardo rivolto verso quella casa solitaria che domina la baia dall’alto. E poi tuffarsi nelle acque che continuo a chiamare “Vlue”: né verdi né blu, ma il perfetto incontro tra le due.
Oppure scegliere @lacanzonedelmare , dove la Signora Giusy mi ha accolto con una gentilezza che sembra appartenere a un’altra epoca. Ordinate il risotto blu e lasciate che il pranzo si trasformi lentamente in pomeriggio.
Salire su una barca e dirigersi verso Nerano per un pranzo special a @ristoranteloscoglio, luogo che racchiude tutta la semplicità e la bellezza del Mediterraneo, reso ancora più speciale dall’accoglienza della mia amica Antonia.
E infine una novità che sembra esserci sempre stata: @casatualife , all’interno dell’Hotel La Palma. Un posto che mantiene la promessa del suo nome, dove sentirsi accolti e coccolati è parte dell’esperienza. E dove il gelato al pistacchio è diventato il mio personale guilty pleasure.
In fondo, il vero lusso di Capri non è mai stato il glamour. È quella rara capacità di farti sentire protagonista di una storia che, per qualche giorno, sembra più bella della realtà.

ICELAND
According to Andy
This is my personal way of travelling, quiet notes on places that don’t need explaining, only feeling.
#Iceland is a loop more than a destination, the Ring Road, where you don’t decide the rhythm, you follow it.
You arrive in #Reykjavík in the afternoon, one night at @towersuitesreykjavik looking at the city from above, dinner in town, even whale, interesting but too smoked, and the next morning everything shifts.
The road starts, and so does the feeling of moving through something rather than visiting it, beginning at #Silfra Fissure with @Dive.is, floating between continents in water so pure you can drink it, no fish, just silence and cold.
Heading south, you realise nothing here is static, not even waterfalls, especially at #Skógafoss where climbing above changes everything.
You pass through Vík not for the hotels but for the #blackbeach and cliffs, and somehow a small crepes truck that feels perfectly placed.
If the weather allows it, riding with @hestarogfjoll slows everything down, once you understand that Icelandic horses respond to less, not more.
Further along, Katla Ice Cave with @trollexpeditions turns everything into black and blue, layers of ice and volcanic ash that feel even stronger in bad weather.
You keep going to Jökulsárlón with @localguide where time on the glacier makes everything quieter and more deliberate.
By the time you reach Höfn, dinner at @pakkhusrestaurant feels like the natural ending, langoustine soup and grilled lobster under a light that never disappears, before sleeping at @LiljaGuesthouse or @hotelglacierlagoon.
Then you head north, where everything changes again, and in Akureyri you go whale watching with @jcbpnznr and @whalewatchingakureyri, one of those moments that reminds you how little control you have.
You continue to Blönduós, where Inga and Magda guesthouse and her three course dinner feel completely out of place in the best way.
On the way back, keep it slow and stop at @hvammsvik , warm water, ocean and wind coming together in the right way.
No schedule, just time, weather, wind, and at least two pairs of shoes.
Play @Bjork, while driving.
Thanks to @ludoturrina that made it easy.
According to Andy.
MARRAKECH
According to Andy
This is my personal way of travelling, quiet notes on places that don’t need explaining, only feeling.
#Marrakech is raw, vibrant, and slightly chaotic in the best possible way.
You don’t come here for comfort, you come for contrast.
Where you sleep matters.
If you want something outside the ordinary, go for @beldicountryclub or Riad @casaabracadabra.
We stayed inside the Medina: beautiful, but everything feels more complex. Worth knowing.
Days are for getting lost in the Medina.
No real plan, just movement.
Stop by @fragrantica_marrakech and create your own scent choosing three notes.
Then pick up orange blossom water at @aromatimri.
And if you feel like refreshing your living room, stop by and explore the creations @lahandira
If you’re not staying there, spend a full day at Beldi Country Club.
Lunch, sun, pool, spa. The boutique is worth the stop alone.
Skip Jardin Majorelle if you’ve seen it already.
A yoga session inside Riad Abracadabra feels more personal, more aligned with the city.
Just outside the Medina, @elfennmarrakech is perfect for a slow aperitivo on a rooftop, with some of the best shopping in town.
Lunch is simple but intentional.
@la_famille_marrakech is new, intimate, very considered, try the tarte aux pommes.
@lejardinmarrakech is bigger, but the internal courtyards are beautiful.
Evenings depend on your mood.
@comptoirdarn for a proper Moroccan night, book upstairs for music and performances.
@bozinmarrakech if you want dinner that turns into something more.
For design and objects, spend time around @mustaphablaoui .
Cash is key.
Exchange into local currency and negotiate, it’s still where the best deals happen.
There is Uber, but only works around the main square, Jemaa el-Fnaa.
Useful for the airport.
For taxis, always cash.
Pack light fabrics, sunglasses, and something you don’t mind getting a little lost in.
Last but not least, enjoying Marrakech with your friends, the cherry on top. @simonettaformentini @jigglypuffally 🧡
