Paris, France

For the price of a coffee you can while away the afternoon from your private wicker bistro chair. That's the great thing about Paris.  The waiter will never ask you to leave and customers won't stare you down until you relinquish your seat.  You are free to just watch the world go by.  This past-time is sacred to the French who have historically used the cafe terraces as an extension of their own homes.  So when you visit the French capital or any other town in France make sure you take advantage of this time-honored tradition.  Sit back, relax, breath and become part of the scene rather than just watching as a visiter. Your soul will thank you.

Villas with a View (and a chef!)

Imagine yourself here, enjoying pre-dinner cocktails while your personal chef prepares your meal of locally caught seafood, organic produce and freshly made tortillas and pastries. This is dinner with a view Cabo style. Gather with family in the comfort of your spacious terrace of your villa (no need to visit any restaurants) to watch the whales and waves of the Sea of Cortez. Then enjoy a mouth-watering meal, prepared just for you in the private state-of-the-art kitchen.



 

Rome, Italy

Taking morning espresso in Rome is the perfect way to start your Italian holiday. Make a game of it and try coffees from each neighborhood of the city. Make sure that you stop by Sant'Eustachio Il Caffe for their famous blend. Located between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, this cafe uses the finest mild coffee beans from the around the world, which are wood roasted and air cooled for a unique taste and fragrance, a must-try for real connoisseurs of Espresso.
Here's a tip: You order first and pay with the cashier and then present your receipt to pick up your order at the coffee counter.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Just picked, perfectly ripe pineapple slices, still warm flaky croissants, steaming french press coffee, and homemade guava jam, brought to your overwater bungalow on a traditional Polynesian canoe.  This can be your wake-up call reality on the island of Bora Bora. Tahitian hospitality takes on a whole new meaning when you pamper yourself at one of the exclusive lagoon side retreats. Tropical flowers sent the air and your spa time, just cracked coconut water quenches your thirst and local rums warm your spirit.  An escape to French Polynesia gives you the chance to disconnect and enjoy the bounty of nature with the comfort of barefoot luxury.
