Birthday weekend came around faster than I would have liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a tradition since we moved to Cyprus<\/a> that for both my and my husband’s birthday we plan a weekend getaway either in the island or abroad. Last year, we decided to stay close to Paphos<\/span> and booked a weekend in Limassol<\/a>. Our little one was just under one year old, so we wanted to stay close just in case of emergencies at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started the morning in the new Limassol Marina<\/a>, a beautiful place where you can admire yachts<\/span> and boats\u00a0that you can’t afford and watch the progress as they build a small Venice<\/a> in Cyprus<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Yacht<\/span> Club is still on my list, place looks amazing from outside and it must have a pretty nice view from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building works are still ongoing and the place is starting to look more and more like a little Venice. Fewer bridges, canals and old buildings, but still – it reminds me a little bit of Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Yacht<\/span> Club didn’t serve breakfast, we settled in a little restaurant for late breakfast. Being a year older, of course, means that I can’t remember the name of that place anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one thing I remember is that they have a damn delicious smoked salmon sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you eat with your eyes first, like me, then you will get stuffed right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast, it was time to move to our hotel<\/span> – which was still a surprise, so I didn’t know where we were going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drove to central Limassol<\/a>, to my surprise we were staying in a cute little boutique hotel tucked away in a residential area. If you’ve ever been to Londa Hotel in Limassol, this is very much like it in a smaller edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Alasia Boutique hotel and my husband scored the best room in the house (and only one) – complete with a Jacuzzi<\/span> on the BALCONY!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alasia is in a quiet residential area, it is one of the oldest hotels<\/span> in town being operated and managed by the same family of Hoteliers since 1963. Alasia means lightness, which is apparent from everywhere you look in the hotel<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-quality furnishing, beautifully designed room, main reception area and pool outside – you would have never guessed this is not a 5-star hotel<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete with cushions and candles, the perfect place to hang out all day. The balcony is also completely private and spacious enough for more than two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just before we got to the hotel<\/span>, we popped to the shop to get some bubbles and refreshments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality of the bed was tested and evaluated. It scored 5 out of 5 stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outside space was quite small, but had a lovely outdoor seating area and swimming pool that stretched along the corner all the way to the back. The garden was lined with tall wall, so you have a lot of privacy and almost no noise coming from the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, we planned to go out for a nice meal to wash down the upcoming age with a bottle of red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long search for a nice fine food restaurant in Limassol<\/span>, we stumbled upon La Maison Fleurie<\/a>….. and what a disappointment it was!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another proof that you should always take Tripadvisor reviews with a bit of caution (it’s not the first time I’ve been disappointed with a highly acclaimed restaurant from Tripadvisor). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

French cuisine is my absolute favourite, but this place simply didn’t live up to it’s reputation. Less than average food with prices of a 2 star Michelin restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straight after dinner, we headed out for more drinks in the city and coming to the hotel<\/span> to enjoy this view with a glass of bubbly in hand. Not a bad way to end the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t wait what next year’s birthday brings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
