Guesthouse in Oslo

Good Monday morning, precious readers. Had a nice weekend?
Today we are going to the island of Tjome, on the west side of the Oslo Fjord. Elisabeth and Christer Heitun have lived here for 20 years. This red wooden house with white shutters, surrounded by birch, pine, lilac bushes and fruit trees is their Scandinavian style guesthouse. There's a bedroom and a living/dining room, and an open sitting area on the side. Most of the furniture is second hand or found at flea markets. Come and see!

Guest House in Buenos Aires

A very old, dark house right by a river was turned into a guest house on the outskirts of Buenos Aires city in Argentina. Reclaimed materials, restored furniture and bright colours turned this dark house into an inviting guest home with a country feeling.

Guesthouse in Uruguay

Good morning readers! Thanks for all your lovely comments left yesterday for my blog's birthday.

So, I begin my new blogging year by taking you to Uruguay to have a look at an oceanfront guest house called Posada del Faro which means "Lighthouse Guesthouse". No need to explain its name. The owners, García Arocena, first appointed architect Eduardo Strauch, and then Diego Montero to design this Mediterranean style house. A lovely place to spend a relaxing holiday.

Rustic Guesthouse in Italy

This beautiful guesthouse in southern Italy is called the Masseria Cimino. It is an 18th century building, renovated in 2005 and now consigned to San Domenico Golf as its guest House. Very romantic, furnished in a fresh, contemporary Mediterranean style. Ornamented with artfully rusted farm tools, dried plants and flowers, jars of preserves and painted wood furniture. Some of the rooms have a beautiful working fireplace and others have balconies with a little terrace overlooking the Championship golf course with a view of the Adriatic Sea.

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Sunday!
