Inqaku lomhleli: Abo bakhetha ukuhamba bakhuthazwa ngamandla ukuba bajonge izithintelo zikarhulumente wasekhaya, imigaqo, kunye neendlela zokhuseleko ezinxulumene ne-COVID-19 kwaye bathathe amanqanaba okuthuthuzela kunye neemeko zempilo ziqwalaselwe ngaphambi kokuhamba.

I & apos; bendihamba emanzini azolileyo, amanzi e-Grand Cul de Sac - indawo ekhuselekileyo ekhuselweyo engurhecu eSt. Barts - malunga nemizuzu eli-15 xa ndijonga ngasemva kunxweme olunomphetho wamasundu amakhulu, mhlawumbi amawaka eenyawo kude kwaye uqaphele ukuba & ampos; m isesisinqeni esinqeni kuphela. Ichweba elinzulu liyaboleka ekuthatheni indawo engqonge - ikitesurfer iskima umphezulu wecrystalline ngasekhohlo kwam, isibini sifumana ibhalansi yazo kwiiphedi zebhodi yokuhamba ngasekunene kwam, kunye nesusrus yolwandle macala onke. Ndizama ukuthatha ifoto yengqondo, xa umyeni wam ephakamisa intloko, etshiza kwaye ekhomba phantsi: 'Ufudo!'

Imvakalelo yokuvusa ngokufutshane ithathela indawo inzolo endandiziva ngathi yimizuzwana nje ngaphambili. Ndithi nkxu ubuso bam ngaphantsi kwamanzi, kwaye izidalwa ezithandekayo nezinomtsalane ziya kuthi gxada. Kwaye lolunye usuku nje apha Le Sereno .

Lo mbono wawungeyiyo into eyothusayo ngomntu ngamnye-sasibonile omnye ufudo ngaphandle kwegumbi lethu, kwigadi yethu yangasese yangasese, kanye ngaloo ntsasa- kodwa kwakungekho kangako ixesha ngalinye. Kwaye njengoko siza kufunda kwakamsinya, le meko-ixhaphakileyo phakathi kwemeko yovuyo kunye nenqanaba lokuthamba-linokufaka umbala kuyo yonke indawo esihlala kuyo, nokuba kuphakathi kobhubhane.

Konke kwenzeka kwangoko xa ufika. Hamba ungene kwigumbi elisekungeneni kwindawo evulekileyo, kwaye uya kukhawuleza ufumane iwindow kwiholide yakho: indawo ethe tyaba elwandle, indawo yokutyela enomoya opholileyo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo isithsaba sobunini bepropathi, ichibi elingenakufezeka lamanzi angenasiphelo edibanisa isibhakabhaka nolwandle. Lo mfanekiso, okwaneleyo ukwenza nokuba abahambi abanamava bancokole, umiswe kancinci xa umgcini webhari ehamba ukukunika isiselo esamkelekileyo ngelixa iibhegi zakho zitshintshelwa kwigumbi lakho - umqondiso oqinisekileyo wokuba iholide iqalile.

Kithina, iintsasa zihlala ziqala ngesidlo sakusasa -ukusasazeka kwamaqanda, iikeyiki, iicroissants, ijam yase-Itali, iyogathi, kunye neziqhamo-zilandelwa kukuhambahamba entlabathini. Olunye usuku lubone indibaniselwano ye-kayaking okanye yokumisa i-paddleboarding (kokubini kunikezelwa ngeendwendwe), ukugcakamela ilanga elunxwemeni okanye echibini eliqaqambileyo, kwaye imizimba yethu ekugqibeleni izinikezele elangeni kwaye ilele kwisandi samaza. Sivusile ukuba sizipholise emanzini, emva koko yenze kwakhona.

Ngokungafaniyo nezinye iipropathi ezijikeleze isiqithi, ichibi elilapha ligcinelwe iindwendwe, ke isixa-sokudlula-kwesihlwele asiqhelekanga - isibheno esongeziweyo, ubhubhane okanye hayi.

Ukukuhendisela kwimeko enzulu yokuzola, kukho i-spa, egcina isiqithi kunye neapos kuphela kwigumbi lokunyanga elingaselunxwemeni kwaye isebenzisa iimveliso ezivela kulusu lwaseSwitzerland uValmont. Ukufumana into ethe kratya, i-concierge inokucwangcisa i-kitesurfing, i-jet-skiing, ukuhamba ngomkhumbi kunye neminye imisebenzi yamanzi, nangona wena, njengathi, unokwaneliseka ngokujonga umbono omnandi.

Kwaye ungazikhathazi ngokusilela kumbono xa ubuyela kwigumbi lakho- phantse zonke ii-suites kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezijonga amanzi. Indawo yokuhlala & apos; ngenjongo yokuhlengahlengisa ngobuhle, ngoncedo loyilo lomFrentshi uChristian Liagre, yenzelwe ukoyikisa amagama ehotele kunye ne-apos; ukuzola. Iindonga zimhlophe kwaye zingenanto, imigangatho ngumthi onzima, iibhedi ezinjengelifu ziza neekhanesi ezihonjisiweyo, kwaye kukho iingcango zesilayidi ezilahlayo ukwamkela ngaphandle - isikhumbuzo esingaguquguqukiyo sokuba wena kunye neepos, sipharadesi.

Endaweni yoko, umbono ocacileyo usebenza njengeyona nto intle yokuhonjiswa, nokuba kuthathwe kwigadi yabucala kwiGrand Suite Plage okanye kwi ichibi labucala kwelinye lamakhaya. Ukongeza echibini kunye neembono zepanoramic, izindlu zokuhlala ezininzi ezinamagumbi okulala amaninzi ziza nezinye izinto ezinjengekhitshi kunye nenkonzo yomngcamli. I-villa okanye i-suite, zonke zibonelela ngoncedo lweengxowa zaselwandle ezincedisayo kunye neeHavaianas flip-flops ezenziwe ngokwezifiso.

Kwaye ngelixa uyilo ngokungathandabuzekiyo sisiFrentshi, okuseleyo kungama-Italiya ukugqitha. I-boutique ekuyo isungulwe ngezinto ezivela eMilan-basedwear brand Larusmiani, iminqwazi evela eCambiaghi (eyasekwa e-Itali ngo-1880), kunye nezinye ii-duds kunye nezixhobo. Ipropathi kutshanje idibene noLarusmiani kumava epikniki yokutshona kwelanga, ephuphayo ngokuvakalayo, nebhasikithi evela kwindlu yefashoni yase-Italiya ene-Champagne, i-rosé, ukulunywa yi-Mediterranean, kunye ne-porcelain izitya-zonke ziyonwabele elwandle.

Okwangoku, eAl Mare, umpheki uRaffaele Lenzi (okwangasemva kwendawo yokudlela eneenkwenkwezi eMichelin eLe Sereno kunye nepropathi, i-Il Sereno, kwiLake Como) izisa incasa yase-Italiya kwiCaribbean, ngentlanzi entsha, ipasta eyonakeleyo ene-lobster kunye mahi-mahi ceviche, kunye nezinye zokufa-izitya. IAl Mare ibekwe ukuba ibonelele ngeembono zolwandle macala onke, kodwa ukuba ukhetha ukumba iinzwane zakho ngqo esantini ngelixa usitya, indawo yokutyela yasePlage elunxwemeni, enefenitshala emnandi, isebenza ngokungaphezulu njengeeburger kunye neesaladi. Zombini zingaphandle, zithomalalisa nayiphi na inkxalabo ejikeleze indawo yokutyela ngaphakathi kubhubhane, kodwa inkonzo yasekamelweni ikwafumaneka, ukuba ukhetha ukongezwa kokulumkisa.

Abasebenzi nabo bavela e-Itali, kwaye nganye ingena kwimo yenkcubeko enobuhlobo- eyona nto inzima ngasemva kwemigca emibini yemaski yobuso. Uncumo lwabo alunakubonakala, kodwa apha, ii-waiters, i-bartenders, kunye nabasebenza edesikeni ngaphambili bonke baziva njengabahlobo bakudala, abangakhumbuli nje igama lakho kuphela, kodwa bakwathatha ixesha lokwazi kunye nezinto ozikhethayo.

Yile nto & apos; into malunga neLe Sereno-i-oasis engaphambi kwamanzi inazo zonke iindawo zokungena eziqhelekileyo zepropathi yeenkwenkwezi ezintlanu, kodwa ngaphandle komoya osesikweni ogqithisileyo. Yinto engathandekiyo, eneneni -ukuzimela okuzolileyo kwisiqithi esihlala siqwalasele umazibuthe kwabo bafuna ukuqatshelwa.

Ngomhla wethu wokugqibela ehotele, incoko yethu ekhawulezileyo iqale ukusuka kuluhlu lokupakisha kunye neempepha ukuze zilungelelaniswe. Kodwa oko akuzange kuhlale ixesha elide. Imizuzwana kamva, i-egret emhlophe, emhlophe yehla, itsala ukujonga kwethu emanzini kwaye sithathe nexhala lethu lemihla ngemihla. Izinto zaphinda zacotha kwakhona, njengoko zisenza ngokungathandabuzekiyo apha, kwaye amagxa ethu awile. Sa-odola okokugqibela Iaperol spritz .

Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, yayi lolunye usuku nje eLe Sereno.
