Today I’m writing about what has probably been the most relaxing weekend of the summer.
Isla Bonita – which is the name her owner, my dear friend Petra, gave this wonderful place in the Drôme, a region adjacent to the famous French Provence – brings together all the ingredients of an earthly paradise.
Isla Bonita looks like Petra:
My relationship with nature is not easy, I must confess. I’m allergic (pollen, cats, wasp stings and many other things). Even so, a weekend at Isla Bonita spent relaxing without any sightseeing, enjoying dinners and laughter, watching how much fun Inés and Théo have playing with the cats, exploring the surroundings while getting their shorts dirty and learning lots of new things about horses was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries. Just spending time with friends.
Thank you, Petra, for welcoming us so warmly and to allow me to write about it.
What an amazingly peaceful place – sounds like somewhere one might go to write!
Glad you and your family were enjoying yourselves and returned home fully relaxed and with lots of beautiful memories!
Of course, just like Claire, I’m now humming the Madonna song as well 😉
Really love your pictures! And it must be a great place to be hanging around with families and friends! Very cosy and even romantic somehow!
