A new hotel with 6 bedrooms. Gagliano del Capo…..the town throbs with creative types. You can rent the whole place $10,300 a week.
Helen Mirren……Serefini and Palomba have their second homes here……
INKY black water in the pool invites you “chill out”………..tho the beach is only a sort distance away.
The bedrooms do have the feel on a monastery.
OK….the Shower is definitely worth a try.
Entrance to the villa………your getaway from the chill of New York…..
which is currently 20º BELOW zero

An Atumnal drive took us up the Hudson River to the grave of Lee Strasberg
Lee was an Austrian born American actor, director of the Actors Studio.
He came to the theatre on the wings of a dream.
He was considered the “father of METHOD ACTING” in America.
He taught Anne Bancroft. Dustin Hoffman, Montgomery Cliff, James Dean, Jane Fonda, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, Al Pacino, Geraldine Page, Eli Wallach and director Elia Kazan.
It was so peaceful and serene……..we were the only people there……..above ground..
We have a SUSTAINABILITY CENTER near our apartment……….so we dump our garbage in their bin………..
Which elephant ???
When you donate garbage they give you a brown bag of compost..…….
The plants on my terrace LOVE the compost.
