Your Own Mama Mia Moment

I have a confession to make - I've always been a fan of ABBA.  Oh not the costumes which I have always thought were tacky and I'm sure in hindsight they do to, but the music.  They're melodies were ones you always found yourself singing along with on the radio.  So when the movie version of Mamma Mia came out with Meryl Streep I had to see it.  Ok so Pearce Brosnan's singing leaves something to be desired, overall I really loved the film.  But along with the ABBA songs I've always enjoyed mixed up in there, I fell in love with the beautiful scenery and locations in Greece.  Villa Donna was a set that I can't help feel used this hotel as inspiration.  Villa Fabrica is for rent so if you're looking for your own Mamma Mia location in a little bit better state of repair this would be it.  Enjoy.

Originally a winery and then a corn mill, the Villa Fabrica has been converted into a lovely and unique villa that you can rent for a large party or divided into small apartments.  Decorated in a minimalistic style the views are the main attraction here.  That and location, location, location.

A Different Type of Greek Vacation

The Windmill Kimolos hotel in Greece is a quaint little hotel with a unique touch. 

It's a cute boutique hotel on a small island in the Cyclades.  The island isn't crowed or a major cosmopolitan hangout but the old, renovated windmill has a quaint charm that it with the visit.

Craving More Vacation Time

Greece has been in the news a lot lately with their financial difficulties, but the country is so beautiful.  It deserves a tourism boost.  As such I'm going to do my part and show case a few of the amazing hotels and accommodations of Greece.  Starting with Kirini - a luxury hotel in Oia Santorini.

Profile: My Paradissi

Ahhhh Greece.  There are stylish people all over the world and Eleni Psyllaki of My Paradissi, an architect in Greece, is one such person.  With beautiful images of Greece and wonderful hotels and homes in the area, she also showcases many gorgeous homes from all over the world and a number of lovely shopping items as well.  So while I currently live in frigid temperatures and snow, I'll dream of Greece tonight with it's incredible scenery, food and architecture. 

My Paradissi - well said.
