Smart Travelling started with a few shoe boxes full of business cards from my favourite places and a desire to explore the world accompanied by an old friend.<\/p>\n

The friend who knows exactly what suits you, who looks through the same glasses, who leads you to the most personal and beautiful places, yes – his secret treasures. That was more than 15 years ago and since then we have been travelling as a team, always looking for the best hotels, restaurants, caf\u00e9s, authentic products and experiences, to the most beautiful regions and cities, with a focus on Europe and around the globe.<\/p>\n

Equipped with the “search and find” gene, which “simply can’t give up until everything has been thinned and sighted”, and of course full of passion for special places, which through their soul, a charming patina and a feeling for good design and interior, a local connection, or a certain elegance, make up a select place. The fine mix of all aspects with a touch of grandeur and sophistication.<\/p>\n

No place that we have not visited personally, no tip that does not come from the heart and not checked with the question we have: We would like to return to this place or recommend it to a friend.<\/p>\n

As travel junkies, truffle pigs, authors and photographers, we never tire of packing our bags to find the perfect places for like-minded people in this world. So you can just drop down and enjoy one place at a time. We are still working on that.<\/p>\n

Have fun browsing, planning, dreaming and enjoying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
