EngA tango without roses is like a profitterolles without the cream
Story on board n.1
In recent months the anchor lies at the bottom of our summer memories and the small winter crew has resumed work tirelessly for the storage of some parts of the hotel marked by time and salt.
And I, wandering around in the holds in search of clues that are still fresh but which already seem very far away, ended up in a semi-dark room: the small museum where clothes, accessories and objects used for summer evenings are stored.
In a moment I found myself covered with ostrich feathers, Cuban hats, torches and sequins.
Do you want to know what I felt?
I confess that I went back to the day I landed in Argentina.
I thought back to the carefree with which our guests lived those moments, despite everything that was happening in the world.
But the world was outside and we had decided that reality was the one inside our ship.
A safe and protected space like a mother's womb for her baby.
I remember that there was a lot of turmoil behind the scenes that afternoon.
While you were sunbathing, unsure which dress to wear in a few hours, the cruise director ran between the dining room and the kitchen repeating the service order to the foremen as a monk repeats the morning prayers.
The handyman Banga, the obliging Bengali who followed her excitedly, waving his hands in the act of chasing non-existent flies, echoed her.
I have to say that the two made a good picture, but obviously neither of us dared to laugh.
At 5 pm the rose petals had not yet arrived for the setting up of the tables and a plan B was needed immediately.
The Director, who by us experts is called The Queen, particularly fixated on details (and many other things that I will reveal to you in the course of these stories), was obviously on a rampage.
"A tango without red roses is like a profitterolles without the cream, a panettone without candied fruit, a poet without poetry"
she repeated screaming to those who tried to reassure her, telling her that basically no one would notice.
"Details are the only thing people remember, know that!"
she paced shoplipping up and down the corridors.
I remember that at one point, after making a series of very excited phone calls, he sent poor Banga to the florist in Forte dei Marmi to retrieve the red petals.
And the evening was saved.
In fact The Queen was right.
Of that splendid tango evening with the couple of Italian champion dancers and a mouth-watering Argentine menu, the image that has stayed in my mind are the red rose petals resting on the white tablecloths bathed in the orange sunset light.
For me that event can be summed up in that detail.
This is why the details are important: because they are like shooting stars that land in the ravines of our memories to stay there forever.
This is why according to the Latins "to remember" means "to pass by the parts of the heart".
That's why on board we want to take care of what your senses feel, whether you know it or not.
And what are the best memories of this summer on board for you?
And which ones would you like to experience in summer 2021?
I'm all ears.

"1 night stay in Maj 2016"
1 night stay in Maj 2016
Spent 1 night in this friendly, clean and elegant hotel in double room. The room was enough for 2 adults. Bathroom with shower was very clean. The location in front of the beach is just remarkable. There is a resturant in the hotel suitable for vegan as well. There are lot of restaurants and bistrots close to the hotel. Breakfast with variable choice. English speaking and really friendly staff.

"Great price for a lovely hotel"
Great price for a lovely hotel
We loved this small hotel. Great location. Very friendly staff. On the beach front, close to restaurants and bars. Promenade is accessible for those who love an evening stroll The only disappointment was the typical continental buffet Breakfast, not much variety. We loved our stay. We will return.

"Amazing deal for the price and quality"
Amazing deal for the price and quality
Perfect 10 days staying in this 3-stars hotel for a good price! It was located just right at the beach and seaside surrounded by a good choice of restaurants and cafes. Breakfast had a huge choice from cold to hot meals (eggs, cheese, ham, fruits, 6 types of cereals, yogurt, croissant/bagel with various jams and filling, amazing locally produces chocolate cakes and biscuits with vegetarian options as well, good choice of juice, tea and coffee). Definitely will give this hotel 4 stars for its room size and breakfast quality and 5 stars for service!!! Room was spacious with a big bathroom. Staff was helpful and ready to help with with late check-in and early check-out.

"a great experience"
a great experience
Very nice, celan and comfortable hotel. Small room, but it was enough. View to the sea, great hotel restaurant. Wi-fi signal was so strong that we have used it in the near restaurant across the street (thumbs up). We liked this hotel.
