There are places where you feel good, places where you feel at home, and places where you leave a piece of your heart. We, here, have left a piece of our heart. We arrive at Arcadia Marina after a rather long journey and after a week that was nothing short of disheartening, and we are immediately welcomed, overwhelmed, and enveloped by hospitality from another era. The manager immediately takes us on a small tour of the splendid garden, meticulously cared for, and of the building. We are captivated by the personal style of every element of the place: from the wallpaper to the furnishings, everything is a testament to a journey, a passage, an experience of life. We are in a place "with soul" and there is no doubt about it. Our smiles widen even further when, upon arriving in the lovely communal kitchen (with a splendid sea view), the manager opens the fridge offering us two very welcome bottles of water and a beer. We are in a splendid place, rich in a creativity of spirit that overflows at every glance, and our host has just welcomed us with fresh water and ice-cold beer. What more could one want? A terrace overlooking the sea on one side and the beautiful medieval village of Porto Maurizio on the other. Needless to say, it's there, and in this case too, it is a well-kept, welcoming, and precious corner, just like the beautiful surprises. The room is also lovely, well-kept, and above all very clean. We are on Vacation! Ok, we really don't need anything else to be happy, but we receive another surprise, namely a breakfast worthy of the name! Sweet (homemade cakes) and savory (focaccias with cold cuts, omelettes, and mini sandwiches filled with mini Greek salads of feta, basil, and cucumbers, fruit juice, yogurt, etc. etc.). More than the garden, the rooms, the terrace, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the water, and the beer, my partner and I will carry in our hearts the discretion, the professionalism, and, I repeat, the soul of our hosts. There are places, projects, and ways of living life in which every gesture tells and expresses the dreams, the tenacity, and perhaps even the suffering that must be put in there to realize them. Here there is everything, beauty, dreams, and substance. The place of the heart.
