Spending the Day at Capo D’Orso Hotel, Sardinia

20/09/13 ᛫ 2 Comments

During my whirlwind trip to north Sardinia I was invited to spend a day experiencing what it was like to stay at the stunning 5* Capo d’Orso Thalasso Hotel & Spa. So of course, my fellow journalists and I popped off to see what the stunning beachfront hotel had to offer.  With just 84 rooms, the hotel felt luxurious, intimate and private. Capo d’Orso was scattered along a private coast line and there wasn’t another hotel or building in sight. It had a real exclusive feel to it, and had stunning views of the Archipelago Islands of Sardinia.

We were given a tour of the hotel and were treated to a slap up 5 course lunch – Sardinian style – so no half measures! The staff could NOT have been more charming or attentive (plus some of the waiters were rather dishy).  After an incredibly decadent lunch we had a free afternoon to spend a blissful few hours in the sun. As you’ll see from the photos, it didn’t take me long to find my sun station. My day at the Capo d’Orso was definitely a highlight of my trip and I’d happily reccomend this hotel to anyone looking for a small boutique style 5 star hotel in Sardinia.

But enough of all that. You want to see cold hard evidence right? Well, a picture speaks a thousand words, so here are 11,000 words to describe my day spent at Capo d’Orso..

We were treated to delicious canapes and Aperol spritzers during our show round. The canapes were amazing prawns wrapped in crispy pasta and resting in a pesto sauce - totally relish!

Wining and dining (again!) Our 5 course lunch started with tuna pan fried with sesame seeds and served with mango slices. WOWzas

The main was a delicious white snapper flavoured with lemon and served with sauteed onions – probably the only dish I ate the whole trip without carbs! Hooray!

Champagne stations are go!

I'd absolutely love to go back to Capo d'Orso and spend a week there. It would be the perfect escape from the world!

Before Covid, The Travelista was my full time job and sole source of income. Like many others, my business and its earnings took a huge hit during the pandemic. So in August 2020 I started a comms job working 3 days a week for a UK charity.

I continued to work on creating content for The Travelista in my spare time, working weekends, evenings and any moments I wasn’t on Mum duty. I’ve spread myself so thin at times, but in the back of my head I knew The Travelista was a plant I needed to keep watering so that I had the option to hopefully one day return to doing it full time again. Slowly the brand work and travel campaigns began to pick up again until I felt ready to take the leap back into self-employment.

I've officially handed in my notice at my comms job and feel 100% ready to work on The Travelista exclusively again. I also love that I will get to choose my own hours again, spend more time with Theo and restore a little more balance and wellbeing to my life.

I am very proud to be a small business owner and to create content firstly for you, my audience, and secondly for the amazing brands and destinations I work with. 

I have a list of ideas longer than my arm so here’s to bringing some BBE - big business energy - to the second half of 2022. 

Thank you for all following and supporting my account as this next step would not be possible without having you all onboard for the ride. ✨🤍

Ad Newcastle, I love you! 💓 I moved to Newcast Ad Newcastle, I love you! 💓

I moved to Newcastle as a student aged 18, and I loved every second of the three years I called this city home. This weekend I got to return with my best friend Fi, who I met on the first week of moving here. 

13 years later (wow), we have had so much fun retracing our old steps, reminiscing and discovering new areas of the city we once called home. 

After spending 2 days here I can confirm that I have just as many *feels* for this place as I did on that first University open day my Dad took me to aged 17. The friendly people, the compactness of the city, the bars and restaurants, the architecture, the sheer value for money (seriously, where else can you get a glass of Prosecco for £3.95?). Swipe for some highlights which include;

1️⃣A walk along the Quayside 
2️⃣Returning to Francesca’s pizzeria in Jesmond for the ‘half pizza half pasta’ (if you know you know)
3️⃣Special access to climb to the top of Grey’s Monument 
4️⃣Discovering the up-and-coming areas of Ouseburn
5️⃣Brunch at @kilnouseburn, a unique ceramic cafe and studio
6️⃣Buying pick ’n’ mix at @graingermarket like old times
7️⃣Strolling down my old favourite streets such as Side 
8️⃣Margaritas at @wc_newcastle, a bar that was once a public toilets on the Bigg Market 

Stay tuned for my reel and stories for the full recap of what we got up to, and what I’d recommend doing on your own weekend away in Newcastle.
