About me
About me
Spoiled by the beauty of my native Firenze, in Italy, I recently celebrated my 10th year in Budapest, a city I couldn't have enough of, yet.
I'm an official tour guide, a journalist and a writer, but most of all someone who needs to be surrounded by lively places and stunning architecture.
Why Budapest
Budapest never stops surprising me and this keeps my love alive. The more you zoom in, the more details will entertain your eyes, while the jungle of the coffee shops and bars ensures quality entertainment and precious locations to write in and be inspired.
The city is well spread out and diversified, so you have grounds to explore for years, and still there will be something you hadn't noticed before. Art Nouveau, charming cafés, ideal paths for running and a vibrant, international, creative community are the main reasons I would choose Budapest over and over.
Where else can you find me online?

Csendes Vintage Bar & Café
Surrealist blast
"Csendes Vintage Bar & Café" in Budapest means 'quiet' but the name is a bit misleading - it's a buzzy ruin bar without the rains & a comfortable eatery...

Wekerle Estate
A fall fairy in the city
"Wekerle Estate" in Budapest is like a village within the city - inspired my medieval & rural buildings, it has created a beautiful sense of local spirit.

Massolit Books & Café
Every reader's dream
"Massolit Books & Café" is a coffee shop in an English bookstore. I wrote my 1st novel here, several short stories... I'd miss it the most were I to leave.

Lúd Labor
Local paper store, made with love
"Lúd Labor" in Budapest is the perfect stationery shop. More than half its wares are made by local designers, I tend to lose control in here...

Hungarian Treasury
My favourite building
The "Hungarian Treasury" in Budapest is a building I show to all my guests. Its secessionist art nouveau style is reminiscent of Antoni Gaudí...

Lion's Locker
A tasty home for travellers
"Lion's Locker" in Budapest is a cute family-run cafe where I can stay all day. The staff is all wonderful - and they know how to make almond milk foam!

Blue Bird Roastery
One hundred years of coffee
"Blue Bird Roastery" in Budapest always puts me in a good mood with its in-house roasted coffee and the natural & art-related decoration...

Bem Mozi
The repertory cinema
"Bem Mozi" is a 111-year-old cinema in Budapest. It's a no-multi repertory cinema w/ a single screen. I also like its bar where it's possible to socialize.
