Sheraton Diana Majestic

Stayed here recently on a trip to Milan. The first pic is of the gardens where breakfast is served when the weather is nice, and drinks can be enjoyed at night. The pictures do not do the hotel justice. I have to say it was a nice hotel, clean and spacious room and bathroom, and very comfy bed. Although this is not the most modern hotel, the lobby and bar area are quite modern while the rooms have been recently refurbished, though classic but clean in style. Decent buffet breakfast served in gardens, but costs 27 euros if not included in room price! This hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the Duomo.

Stayed at this very hip and happening hotel while on a trip to Milan. The room was comfortable and the place was surprisingly quiet. It is a huge hotel, even though it doesn't feel like it. The location (Navigli) is a plus since it is quite trendy with many bars and restaurants around. Good breakfast buffet.

Holy chocolate orgasm !!

I had the most amazing pistachio ice cream last night at this Milan chocolate hot spot! This place is dessert heaven, all things chocolate. If its ice cream you're after, you pick your flavors, and before they scoop it on the cone they run the cone under the chocolate fountain of your choice (dark or white) and then top it off with the ice cream. What you are left with is an amazing chocolaty cone to devour, after the ice cream is gone. I am already planning a repeat trip before I go back home to Rome!!!!

Can a girl just rant....

Picking up from a previous post about celebrities making their post baby bod reveal, well it has happened, Victoria Beckham has come out of her 2 month hiding and she is back to her size ZERO!!!! I can only imagine what her diet has been like, grape for breakfast, an almond for lunch, and a strawberry for dinner??

Anyhow, I have just about had it with the craziness going on in my palazzo. First it was the noisy family that moved in upstairs, walking around in heels, bouncing balls at all hours of the day. Last night as I was floating off to sleep, I hear major banging on the door a floor below us. Strange, who would be rude enough to do this at 12.30 am? I then hear the elevator, and I assume it's over but no, she went outside and started yelling out the persons name, once, twice, thrice, each time a little louder and longer. I thought to myself this just can't be f***ing happening. So I go to the living room, open the window and start reminding the weird signora (since she was about 50)  that it is 12.30am, some of us have kids, and if she is worried about this person who is not answering CALL THE POLICE.

I've had it with the noisiness of this city. I am not sure if it is the area where I live or what, but I am starting to look for a new place because between AMA and their 4am street cleaning (that goes on for 45 mins), crazy neighbors, and traffic noise, I am turning in to a sleep deprived nasty person.

Any noise horror stories out there to make me feel better? Do share.
