E' stata un idea ed esperienza straordinaria quella di soggiornare nel trullo Edera immerso nella natura circondato dall'incantevole paesaggio, tutto questo grazie a l' ottimo servizio e cordiale disponibilità di Anna Zizzi che ci ha accolti . Esperienza che molto probabilmente rifaremo nel periodo primaverile ed estivo. Grazie ancora ! Cordiali Saluti Gianluca e Romina
Gianluca2012-12-27T00:00:00ZBeautiful Trullo and Anna was incredibly helpful! I highly recommend this Trullo. It's so much bigger than I thought it was. Anna kept in great contact form the start to the end of our stay and was even kind enough to share some Garlic with us when we forgot to pick some up on our shopping trip :D This is a beautiful part of the country
Sebastian2016-05-09T00:00:00ZAnna was a sweet host. We felt in love with her place just from the pictures, and it looks just like the pictures in real life - very fairy tale looking and honeymoon worthy. Though the it is in the countryside, Anna got everything stocked that you would need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well kept and equipped for daily cooking if you want to. You pick up the groceries in advance since we weren't sure there is a market in relative distance.
Anh2016-04-08T00:00:00ZBeautiful location & gorgeous Trullo. Anna was delightful and gave great beach suggestions. The pick up of the keys with her parents was a bit frustrating but we had also changed plans at last minute so it was also understandable.
Kate2015-08-11T00:00:00ZWe stayed at Trullo Edera and we had a beautiful experience. Anna welcome us in a generous way with typical products from Puglia and a cake to celebrate my birthday and my sister's graduation. The place is clean, really quiet perfect for a great holiday in the amazing Valle d'Itria. You can walk in the field nearby or decide to rest in the terrace and appreciate the beautiful surrounding. I would highly recommend this place.
Serena2012-07-04T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at the property. It's in a very charming location, and well kept. Anna was really nice and provided us with some local produce for breakfast. Would definitely recommend it.
sumit2016-04-07T00:00:00ZWe had a magical experience at trullo edera. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and after spending a week in the busy, tourist packed cities of Florence, Venice and Rome, Puglia was the perfect refuge to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Anna was incredibly welcoming, and her mother even gifted us some homemade wine for our honeymoon! The trullo was in the perfect location to explore the regions adorable towns, olive estates and pristine beaches. It was the favorite part of our vacation. I highly recommend staying here!!
Liz2015-09-19T00:00:00ZParfait, super logement! Anna est très accueillante et le Trullo magnifique, dans la campagne, au calme mais à 10 minutes de Martina Franca.

AMAZING!!! This was such great space. Very unique. You are outside of the happening area (which we liked). Rented a golf cart and was able to get wherever we needed to go. Although we spent most of our time just lazing by the pool. As I was looking at things to do on the island I noticed that the Shell house was one of the things to see. So you had cars, golf carts, taxis stopping by to take photo's. Felt like celebrities! Would recommend and have told many people about this great place.
Sioux2016-05-02T00:00:00Zvery easy to find, incredibly unique listing
Elissa2015-01-07T00:00:00ZWe loved staying here! Raquel (the owner) was such a great host and even gave us a ride into town to rent a golf cart (which is highly recommended for your time on Isla Mujeres). This house worked out great for us and we liked the location as well.
Kristin 2014-11-06T00:00:00ZOur stay in the seashell house was spectacular!! The hosts where amazing and very helpful. They offered to give us ride to downtown or even to the super market any time. The house is very unique and everyone on the island knows it.
Amit2014-01-25T00:00:00ZYou will never regret staying at this house! It is truly a unique experience. It was the perfect trip...this house is located in the south end of a tiny island off of Cancun, you rent a golf cart and get around very easily, the house is right on the water, it has two huge bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, we had our own private pool, kitchen, living room etc. My friends still can't believe we stayed there, it was such an unbelievable place. The owner lives next door and is really nice, she stays out of your way but is there if you need her. Michelle was also good in providing information and answering all of our questions.
Kalindi2013-05-31T00:00:00ZMy friends and I had an amazing stay. Michelle was very responsive and quick to answer questions. While at the house, Raquel and Octavio were so lovely and welcoming. The house was even better in person! The pool and grounds were beautiful and everything was a short golf cart ride away. I would highly recommend coming here and will be back.
Nikki2014-10-28T00:00:00ZAmazing experience, original, one of a kind house with a lovely host. I recommend this house to everybody for an unforgettable stay here. Rachel is a perfect host, providing everything one could possibly need and so warm that makes you feel at home.
Mihaela2014-08-27T00:00:00ZThe Casa Caracol is a trip! Great view of the water, nice poolside area, and comfortable bed. More importantly, Raquel the owner lives next door and is super helpful and accomodating.

Peter was a great host. He was friendly and helpful but you still get plenty of privacy during the stay. We really enjoyed the unique experience of staying in a treehouse. Everything was exactly as we expected it to be based on the pictures and explanation. One thing we were a little bit worried about going into the weekend was the heat and sleeping outside but it really did not end up being a problem as it tends to cool down quite a bit during the night. It was very peaceful during the entire stay and the area of town is really nice with plenty of local restaurants and activities in the area. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Kyle2016-08-15T00:00:00ZMore than grateful I got to return to this magical place. As always, Peter is a wonderful host and the treehouse was just as perfect as I remembered. I cannot wait to return for a third time :)
maggie2016-10-10T00:00:00ZThis place is amazing! Katie and Peter are kind and were wonderful to welcome us into their own little backyard retreat. It doesn't feel at all like you're still inside Atlanta. Their kindness, plus the small details such as the bottle of wine & snacks, and heated mattress pad make all the difference. Unfortunately it was freakishly cold in Atlanta the night we were supposed to stay here - 25 degrees! so we ended up relaxing in the treehouse all afternoon and evening, but then retreated to the warmth of the "real" indoors when it was time for bed. We could not have asked for anything different or better, except maybe a few ticks on a thermometer. We will definitely be coming back next year when it warms up to experience this wonderful place again. Thank you, Katie & Peter, for helping to make Erin's birthday so wonderful!
Austin2014-11-18T00:00:00ZThe treehouse was everything we could have hoped for. Peter was an exceptional host. The bed which rolls out so you can sleep under the stars was awesome!!! And for being in the woods there was no mosquitos! I highly recommend this location.
Bridget2016-06-29T00:00:00ZIt's hard to put the treehouse into words other than its pure Magic. Peter and Katie felt like long time friends and were so welcoming. Peter taking his time to tell us about the place and his life too. I cannot wait to go back and I almost don't want to tell people about it since it's so perfect.
Rachael 2015-06-12T00:00:00ZKatie and Peter were such beautiful hosts! They've thought of everything: providing snacks, a bottle of wine, recommendations for nearby restaurants, tea and coffee brought out every morning, and a private space and bathroom in their home in case of weather, etc. True to their description the treehouse is well secluded and unbelievably serene; they have cultivated something truly special with this treehouse and we consider ourselves lucky to have been able to stay there!
Anne2015-05-02T00:00:00ZKatie and Peter's tree houses are truly unique and beautiful. If you want a quiet retreat in nature that is close to everything in Atlanta, do not hesitate to book their tree houses! Our favorite part of the experience was laying on the bed, relaxing, and looking up into the trees. It also rained during one of the days of our stay, and it was just wonderful to listen to the rain on the tin roof.
Wanda2014-04-24T00:00:00ZThe treehouse was a magical and fantastic stay! Such a fun and different departure that truly makes you feel on a get away. Peter and Katie are fabulous hosts, and I will surely be back again!

Have you seen Harry Potter movie? Well, this Airstream and view and stars and ocean and that unique shower that morning breeze.. That's what I personally would call real magic for sure! I'm happy to realize that some people on AirBNB not going for a money/profit only, but actually carefully and thoughtfully working on delivering something more then just a nice stay. They are creating beautiful memories. Thank you Rani, for your talent and for sharing it all with us!
Maxim2016-09-25T00:00:00ZSpent a night at this amazing location. Everything looks just like the pictures, and the view is just incredible. If you're looking for an experience (not just a place to spend the night), book this ASAP! Loved it! Rani was very helpful all the way through the process of booking. Thanks for a wonderful time!
Claudia2016-07-13T00:00:00ZIn the months leading up to our stay, it became clear this was the only place I could propose to my girlfriend (now fiancé!). This location is so absolutely stunning, it's almost not real. Totally secluded, the airstream is extremely well maintained and very comfortable. Opening up the sliding glass doors was super cool. The restroom and shower are amazingly clean, although a bit chilly when the wind comes through. You won't have cell service or easy access to supplies, so be sure to prepare appropriately. It's glamping for sure, but the basics will help. After a few surprises with the power upon arrival, we managed to begin our lives together, smiling on the top of the world. Rani is super helpful and accommodating. We hope to still revisit the memory in 20, 30, hopefully 50, years.
Joey2016-05-05T00:00:00ZThis is an absolutely amazing spot for a photoshoot! We love the footage we captured here. Christian was absolutely amazing. The place is hard to find, but if you get the specific directions from Christian, it is much easier. If you have to be up there at a specific time, just give yourself plenty of time because GPS will not work up there. Go, enjoy, unplug, snap some great pics!
Lori2016-09-19T00:00:00ZAmazing, clean space, breathtaking views! People are not joking about the drive: It is pretty scary. Go during the day and don't plan on leaving once you get to the Airstream (pack enough food, water, a deck of cards, etc.). It was too windy and cold at night to enjoy the deck, unfortunately, and the glass doors rattled a lot through the night, but that's probably just bad luck with the season/weather. It does help to wedge a sock between the glass. Try to go during spring or summer if you can. Some sort of heating would have helped, as it was quite cold, but I know it was March--and the bed was comfy and warm! We couldn't figure out the outlets (the lights worked but the outlets didn't), but we were fine with our portable phone chargers. Also the water had a rotten egg smell (probably just the nature of water stored that way) so we didn't drink it or use it (luckily we had some water bottles with us; if you go, pack water!). Lastly, if you go (and you should!), make sure you screenshot or print all the info in the listing as well as any helpful reviews, as there is no service or wifi. Of course, we were expecting the camping-like experience, so these things weren't a huge deal--it was still a wonderful and unforgettable experience, and it was so nice to unplug. I cannot even describe to you how beautiful this place is.
Taysha2017-03-08T00:00:00ZAbsolutely amazing place with most unbelievable view from mountains on ocean... It was absolutely amazing... Thank you so much!
Pavel L.C.2016-07-18T00:00:00Zso cool so cozy so dreamy -- a perfect stay all around. would recommend 10/10!!
Luke2016-12-10T00:00:00ZThe airstream and the property it's on are really beautiful. The views are almost unbelievable. The airstream has everything you need to be comfortable and to prepare simple meals, etc. Very clean. Most airbnb's don't quite live up to the advertisement, but this is definitely and exception. The electricity was out when we were there, so no lights. But it didn't detract from our stay. The whole experience is kind of like a cross between being in a hotel and camping. There are a few houses in the general area but you still get a very nice sense of seclusion and quiet. Overall one of our best airbnb experiences.

Where do I begin? From the first communication to checking out, our experience at the Joshua tree house was flawless. Every detail was thought of throughout the house, the finishes were beautiful and unique. Being familiar with the area is not necessary because the welcome booklet is so explanatory. Overall I would recommend this home to anyone looking to spend time in Joshua tree.
Elizabeth 2016-01-26T00:00:00ZAbsolutely loved our stay at the Joshua Tree house which left me dreaming about the desert after returning to the city. Sara and Rich have created a vacation home that makes one feel welcome upon arrival...the home is the perfect mix of desert modern bohemian and it's evident the owners have put a lot of thoughtful hours into creating a relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend spending sunrises on the porch with coffee and enjoying sunsets in nearby Joshua Tree Natl Park. There are also a lot of local spots to explore...follow Sara and Rich's recommendations and you will not be let down. We look forward to coming back soon and checking out the Joshua Tree Casita. Thanks again, Sarah and Rich!
Linzy2016-12-20T00:00:00ZSara planned everything out and was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in not only crafting and curating their space, but making sure their visitors were well informed on their area with a list and map of things to do and eat. The house itself is not only beautiful as expected but a very comfortable and a convenient stay. There are tons of cute shops in the area, tasty eats, and it's right by the national park. We loved this little getaway and would absolutely stay here again and again.
Jen2016-02-13T00:00:00ZCet endroit est un paradis et Cynthia est la meilleurs des hôtes, elle connait les petites histoires et n'hésites pas à servir de guide, ce qui est fort appréciable. Je suis tombé amoureux de cet endroit... Just the best place ever !!!
Arnô2012-01-13T00:00:00ZAmazing home! Every detail is beautifully thought out. Hope to stay longer next time!
Caitlin2016-10-23T00:00:00ZI stayed at this beautiful home for my birthday, and was so fortunate to celebrate at Joshua Tree with friends. I had such a great time in the area, but what blew me away was this amazing house. Everything is decorated so perfectly! The pictures don't even do the home justice because it just feels magical the second you pull into the driveway. I can't wait to visit again soon!
Kam2016-09-16T00:00:00ZJoshua Tree House is really tasteful- not too much but everything you need. Really perfect place to feel at peace, relaxed and gaze at the stars in the hot tub. It is as nice and even more special than the photos suggest and although you are only just off the main road it is tranquil and private. The little thrift shops and cafés in Joshua Tree add to the laid back vibe.
Polly2016-08-31T00:00:00ZSara and Rich were wonderful. We arrived a little earlier than check in and they were kind enough to welcome us in and show us around the place. The house is adorable and exactly as pictured. It's the perfect desert retreat! We wanted a place to relax and recover from Coachella and The Joshua Tree house (and it's hot tub) were just what the doctor ordered! We all tucked in early on night one in comfortable beds and woke up rested and ready for a day of hiking Joshua Tree National Park. The house is located right near some seriously delicious restaurants that Rich and Sara had suggested and all the locals were super friendly. I can't imagine spending a night at Joshua Tree any where else and can't wait to go back!

The mushroom dome cabin was a great escape for super bowl weekend. We hiked through the redwoods, climbed a tree, met some chickens, goats, and hummingbirds, and played mind trap. The cabin is very unique and we had a great time!
Sabrina2016-02-18T00:00:00ZThe Mushroom Dome Cabin is a nature lovers paradise! We were warmly greeted by Kitty, who showed us around before showing us the absolute highlight, loads of hummingbirds! The cabin is cosy and has everything you could need, including a fantastic shower. Perfect spot to get away from it all!
Morgan2015-10-24T00:00:00ZKitty and Michael were absolutely excellent hosts! They have a great way of helping you feel welcomed but also respecting your privacy. (Elliot was also a great host too!) Kitty told us stories about her family and friends, she is just the sweetest person! They kept the cabin nicely stocked with towels, food necessities, games, movies, and anything else you could possibly think of. My girlfriend and I also went on a wonderful hike together through the redwood grove and the many acres beyond it, the entire property is just absolutely stunning! My only regret was not staying for an additional night, I miss our little mushroom cabin getaway! If you're debating on where to stay, look no further, this cabin is the perfect place to be during all seasons!
Lacey2016-01-09T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay in the Mushroom Dome Cabin! Kitty was very welcoming and showed our kids how to milk the goat and taught them all about the numerous hummingbirds on the property. I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance!
Torey2016-08-10T00:00:00ZIt's a very special experience, my kids and I enjoyed the stay very much. Kitty and her cute dogs welcomed us with hospitality, and the cabin includes everything we need. It felt good to stay in the heart of nature!
jiayu2016-06-23T00:00:00ZThe Mushroom Dome Cabin was better than we expected! Kitty & Michael have a wonderful set-up. We were very comfortable and felt quite welcomed. The in-cabin amenities are wonderful! We had great weather and went out, but had it rained the whole time we would have been just fine staying in! Kitty recommended a great place for breakfast which saved us a headache with the morning commute (we stayed mid-week). My birthday trip was definitely magical in the Aptos woods. We WILL be back.
tania2015-12-22T00:00:00ZMushroom dome cabin delivered! Kitty was an amazing host from the get-go, she kept me updated with the availability of the dome and emailed me detailed directions. Upon arriving at the dome, Kitty was hospitable despite arriving late at night and introduced us to all of the amenities within the dome. Starved, we hurriedly heated up our take-out on the electric burner (heats up quick!) and made tea from one of the tea bags in the dome. The dome was stocked with various cleaning supplies which we gladly used to clean up our dinner mess. To end the night, we drank sparkling cider, again provided by Kitty and watched a movie in the loft. We had fresh, raw goat milk for breakfast and continued our journey after meeting the beautiful hummingbirds. I never expected to have such a great experience at the cute mushroom dome. Thank you for hosting us!
Tenzin2014-12-29T00:00:00ZThe Mushroom Dome Cabin was pure magic. A quiet and peaceful little place and a true work of art. Loved watching the sun shine in through the windows and spending a quiet weekend nestled in the treetops. We loved hiking through the property, tree climbing, and taking in the forest from the patio. Kitty was a gracious host, spending time chatting with us at our arrival, introducing us to her animals, sharing fresh goat's milk, and inviting us to enjoy her hummingbird garden. Still dreaming about our stay here two weeks later, what a treat!

Unlike (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) listings, the house actually looked just like the photos. Quaint space with a terrific book and record collection to match. Rachel was very hospitable and accommodating. I'd definitely recommend this stay to a friend!
Kayla2014-11-25T00:00:00ZThe cabin is nothing short of perfect. An amazing location, a beautiful home, and all the peace you could hope for. Rachel was really helpful and provided everything we needed, plus some super tips for local eateries etc. We only wished we could stay longer and definitely plan to return.
natasha vasiliki2015-08-28T00:00:00ZRachel's place was just as pictured. It was so lovely, amazing collection of records and the location was perfect. My favorite part were the mornings on the back patio, enjoying a cup of coffee looking out taking it all in. Perfect place for a relaxing refresh.
lili2015-11-29T00:00:00Zrachel's cozy a-frame is quite literally the cutest place in russian river. having stayed many times at a myriad places in the area, rachel's spot is one i'll return to over & over again! dealing with rachel was also awesome - simple, clear directions were emailed to me a few days prior to my visit & i never needed to contact her but had her cell handy just in case! GO listen to records in the woods. GO watch the stars from the picnic table. GO revel in the beauty that is so perfectly norcal-esque...pick some wild calla lillies (but not too many!) for your table, find some oxalis & miner's lettuce for your salad, walk through the woods, watch the river...can't say much else, you should just GO!
Natalie2015-03-19T00:00:00ZRachel is a consummate host. From efficient communication to detailed directions to excellent recommendations, we were blown away by her hospitality. She thought of everything! The house is one of a kind. A little piece of heaven in the middle of beautiful Redwoods. We cooked in the kitchen, played a few records and so thoroughly enjoyed our little retreat into nature. Would HIGHLY recommend Rachel and her amazing home.
Chris2014-08-16T00:00:00Zi decided to surprise my husband with a little weekend retreat in the redwoods and rachel's cabin was perfect in every way! it's better in person and is filled with so much charm and character. she was beyond helpful with suggestions on what to do in the area and places to go. her response time from start to finish was excellent and she made every step of the way easy. i would definitely go back and recommend this place to friends since it's an idyllic little a frame in the woods. the amenities were great and the location was so private and quiet - having driven up from LA the quiet was incredible! there are so many fun things to do close by and some great food in the area so if you are considering this place, i highly recommend it! thank you rachel for being so wonderful and having this cabin for others to share! :)
Imari2014-06-09T00:00:00ZThis place and Rachel are both magical. We had a great time staying here. The cabin is just as described. Super cool and cozy, close to all kinds of fun things to do. Rachel is a great host and I will definitely be staying with her again!
Meredith2014-07-22T00:00:00ZMy boyfriend and I stayed at Rachel's cabin for our 5 year anniversary and we loved it! It is so cute, unique, and great for a romantic getaway. As Rachel says in her listing, the cabin is a work in progress and I would not advise you stay here if you can't abide things like unfinished baseboards or accessing the mini fridge via the back deck. We didn't care about items like that at all. It had everything we need/wanted: a fireplace, an equipped kitchen, a record player (!), and the bed was amazingly warm and comfortable. Rachel herself was a great aspect of this trip. She was always quick to respond to my questions as I planned pre-departure, she suggested things to do and places to eat, and when a question popped up right after we arrive, Rachel responded in moments. Our stay was wonderful and we definitely hope to return again. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone!

Great place for a unique experience. We loved it.
Julia2016-11-01T00:00:00ZWe stayed one night at The Hobbit Inn and it was an absolute dream come true. There were fresh cookies and pastries waiting for us, as well as a selection of coffees, teas, and cocoas. We downloaded some LOTR music prior to the trip as suggested in the awesome booklet you get and it really created a magical ambience. We mostly enjoyed sitting by the fire reading and playing one of the games that was provided. The pipes were frozen when we got there and Kristie gave us a heads up and the option to reschedule but we are outdoor savvy and it didn't impede on our fun at all, we hardly noticed. The detail in the place is fantastic, beyond words. There isn't a kitchen but we used the kettle to boil water for noodles, and we cooked chili on a cook stove we brought. I kept waking up every hour to look outside like a kid at Christmas (because we got in after dark) to soak up that view. entirely worth the price, you get more memories and fun than you know what to do with and you can't put a price on that! Thanks for keeping us big kids at heart imaginations alive Kristie!
BRIANNE2016-12-18T00:00:00ZWe stayed for three nights in this amazing getaway. It was so cozy and beautiful, a true hobbit hole! It had everything you could want, and no extra clutter. It is hard to describe how beautiful and well organized the home was, but the pictures barely do it justice. The view was spectacular and it was just a short drive down the hill to the best crepes we have ever tasted. In the mornings and evening we enjoyed hiking the beautiful mountainside, and in the evenings we curled up with a good book and a nice hot fire! Such a refreshing and wonderful place!
Daniel2016-11-24T00:00:00ZAmazing stay! So beautiful was like being transported to another world. The Hobbit hole was completely snowed in and our little car couldn't make it up the road ,but Brian the groundskeeper was so helpful and got us up and down the mountain everyday. Kristie was very responsive and the whole stay was lovely. We even got a visit by a cute Pika friend! 3
Emilia2017-01-25T00:00:00ZThis was a great experience for us on our honeymoon! There was snow and ice going up the mountain which made things a bit difficult for us, especially with the short hike needed to reach The Hobbit Inn. The Yak Tracks that were provided kept us from slipping on the snow and ice but the hike was still treacherous (be CAREFUL carrying bags up the hill if there's snow). We had a great time, turning on the fire kept us warm, the bathroom was a bit cold so we left the door open to allow warmth to spread throughout the Inn. With the snow, our view was absolutely incredible. Will definitely be back (we enjoyed it that much), although we might skip heavy snow times and elect for spring, summer or fall.
Brandon2016-12-14T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
kaidenWe had a wonderful time! We both loved how easy it was to get to yet how private it was, just like living in shire! Loved waking up with the warmth of a toasty fireplace and a beautiful sunrise all from the comfort of the bed. Will be back!
Cassie 2016-11-17T00:00:00ZA fantastic unique place to stay. I can't say much that hasn't been said already. You have to see it to believe it.

The landscape of the house is the most spectacular. Completely quiet and meditative. We loved every detail of the interior. Furniture, lighting,, even a curtain. Linda was very kind, giving us all the information we needed. I want to stay longer next time.
Yoshiko2016-06-20T00:00:00ZThis was my first airbnb experience and it was amazing. Linda provided a manual with everything we needed to know regarding the house, the energy it used, the surroundings, and even how to handle the critters of the desert. It was definitely nice to be off the grid. The house is beautiful and it was such a comfortable stay. We loved how the moon shined so brightly at night. Waking up to see the sunrise was a sight to see as it traveled over the hill next door. You won't be disappointed. Loved every minute. Thanks Linda!
Mia2016-05-26T00:00:00ZEverything about the space and its surroundings is perfect. Only a few cars drove past the house in the 48 hours that we were there. We were able to see the stars, the desert sunrises and sunsets, etc. It was absolutely beautiful. Everything worked perfectly. Linda was very helpful and attentive to our myriad of questions.
Elaine2013-03-15T00:00:00ZThe iT house was amazing. Definitely has me thinking about where and how I want to live the rest of my life. Linda was very prompt with replies and provided every piece of info via the (very cute) hand drawn map and manual. Really could not recommend it enough.
Steve2013-04-10T00:00:00ZLinda has built my absolute dream home. It is so perfectly isolated, efficient, luxurious yet minimalistic - we loved it. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough -- it's perfect for a special occasion or simply an unplugged getaway weekend. Book now if there's space - trust me!
Danielle2016-04-06T00:00:00ZThis house is truly unique. The incredibly remote location, stunning views, and peaceful isolation make a stay here something special. Being "off the grid" is an interesting experience and really makes you think differently about how you use energy. During our stay we were cautious to ration power due to cloudy conditions, but found the experience enlightening and informing. We kept warm at night with the fire, dined by candle light, and showered during daylight hours when power and hot water were more available. Linda has provided a beautiful, thoughtful set of amenities and the house is incredibly comfortable. You'll want to be outside as much as possible though! The location is remote, so having appropriate transportation is important. Our little front wheel drive car was fine for the dirt roads but would have been difficult in bad weather.
Chris2016-01-11T00:00:00ZAmazing! The house is absolutely georgeous and the surrounding breathtaking. The map was very helpful to find the way to the house. Everything was like described from Linda. We stayed for four nights and it was an unique experience for us. We will come back.
Sandra2015-12-27T00:00:00ZA stunning home set within an environment of immense beauty. The beautifully designed living spaces blend seamlessly with the outside and from the moment you wake up you feel as if you are one with the nature around. We are reminded of Mother Nature's beauty and fragility in her raw form. It's wonderful to watch both sunrise and sunset, put wood on the fire, play games with your family, uninterrupted by screens and buzzes of phone messages. Linda has created a luxurious home for you to experience "back to basics" within. What could be better?! Restore, rejuvenate and relax! It really could be a life changing experience.

La casa sull'albero di Elena è perfetta per un weekend romantico, c'è tutto ciò che serve per stare in tranquillità a partire da una location fantastica immersa tra gli ulivi. Nella casa sono presenti sia lenzuola che asciugamano e la colazione viene servita la mattina da Elena. Veramente spettacolare!
Andrea2017-02-28T00:00:00ZUna bellissima sorpresa!
caterina2016-11-14T00:00:00ZElena was a great host. Nice and together. The property was beautiful and we'll kept. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still not too far away Florence.
Cameron2017-03-08T00:00:00ZEsperienza magnifica! Posto mozzafiato e reso ancora più speciale dalla cura di ogni dettaglio, dall'ospitalità, cordialità e passione di chi lo gestisce. La treehouse è una chicca, estremamente particolare e curata, molto intima. Le condizioni atmosferiche sono un dettaglio non indifferente, vista la posizione immersa nel verde e la vista a 360 gradi sui colli... col sole è qualcosa di indescrivibile, provare per credere!
Francesca 2017-01-06T00:00:00ZUn'esperienza unica, da ripetere al più presto. Tutto perfetto, dall'accoglienza della signora Teresa alle paste buonissime fatte trovare sulla veranda per colazione, dalla meravigliosa vista alla tranquillità della tenuta.. per finire con l'unicità della casa! Grazie mille per aver reso il regalo di compleanno del mio moroso un sogno divenuto realtà!
elena2016-11-27T00:00:00ZE' stata un' esperienza davvero bellissima! La casa si trova in un parco e il paesaggio e spettacolare. Siamo stati accolti da Daniela, sorella di Elena, gentilissima e disponibile! Assolutamente da provare!
elisa2016-11-07T00:00:00ZLa casa del árbol de helena es mágica y romántica . Muy buena para desconectarse.
juan ignacio2017-03-04T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing stay at the treehouse! Despite it being the beginning of December the place was very well heated and extra cozy. Elena had coffee, water and juice ready in the kitchen for us. They even brought us croissants of our choosing in the morning :) the grounds were beautiful and easy to navigate, the entrance is a bit hard to find but Elena's directions were very clear. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a great private place to stay in the Tuscan country side!

From the moment we arrived we were enchanted by the magic of the house and the surrounding area. It was one of the most gorgeous and serene places I have ever seen. Denise was such a sweetheart! So accommodating, informative and willing to help us with anything we needed to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The silo cottage is straight out of a fairy tale. Ever since we came back, we have been questioned on Santarella from - hopefully- many prospective visitors. Denise also gave us a tour of the neighboring Gingerbread House and oh my - was that a gem! Ideal place for a wedding! Simply stunning cottage and grounds, lovely hosts! We love the Berkshires!
Dorota2016-08-26T00:00:00ZDenise was a wonderful, attentive, and welcoming host to us and our dog! The silo studio lives up to the beauty of the pictures. Simply elegant and unique. We loved the sparkling wine that await us, the beauty of the chirping birds in the morning, the large pond, the unexpected bonus of a short hiking trail in the back of the estate, the farms that surround it, and the overall fair-tale feel. We were not ready for the crisp summer nights of the berkshires (the silo has two large windows without glass) but the heated mattress takes care of that. Great place!
phoebe2013-09-07T00:00:00ZThis place was absolutely breath taking! Me and my fiancé had a wonderful time, the silo studio cottage is everything expected and more. The host Denise was very helpfully and wonderful. I will definitely be going back.
Sylwia 2015-12-30T00:00:00ZThe listing was just as described. My girlfriend and I had a great weekend staying in the silo studio. When we first arrived Denise met us with fresh flowers for the room and a bottle of wine. She also gave us some great suggestions for food, The Starving Artist Cafe was my favorite. I couldn't of asked for a better host or accommodations. Thanks Denise!
stephen2016-03-09T00:00:00ZVi havde et fantastisk ophold på dette smukke sted og har anbefalet det til flere. Vores billeder af stedet på nettet har medført, at vores amerikanske familie og flere dansk venner har allerede bookmarked stedet og vil besøge det. Denise var super god til at guide os, og vi mailede flere gange frem og tilbage om seværdigheder og gode tips til opholdet. Dette er et perfekt sted, hvis man lige vil trække stikket ud et par dage ( Wifi'en er fin ;-) ) og bare nyde roen og hinanden. Vi kan varmt anbefale et ophold på dette smukke og meget velholdte sted. Thank you so much Denise for at great stay Karin & Ole
Karin2015-07-07T00:00:00ZHands down the most unique and beautiful Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The property is quiet/peaceful and the host (Denise) is kind and welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Michael2015-06-10T00:00:00ZFrom arrival to departure our host and hostess were wonderful. The place is truly magical more than the photos can depict. We enjoyed a moderate hike over Monument Mountain, a local theater in Great Barrington, some great local restaurants, and the story book grounds. The biodiversity of the flora was remarkable. The local pond was refreshing and unoccupied.
Jo2015-06-15T00:00:00ZMy wife and I had a wonderful July 4th 2013 weekend here. The grounds are meticulously groomed and magical and the Santarella estate resembles a medieval gingerbread cottage. The silo we stayed in was charming and romantic. The hosts were so friendly. They even have a gorgeous and friendly cat named Bidi!!! The estate is ideally located with easy access to Lee, Lenox, Stockbridge, Pittsfield, and the Mass Pike. We are looking forward to our next trip to the Berkshires and will definitely be staying there again. We have told our friends and family about how wonderful this place is.

A beautiful stay from the moment we stepped into the magical fern forest. The treehouse was very well constructed, convenient, comfortable, and a childhood dream come true.
Marsha2015-11-26T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed the treehouse experience for our honeymoon! Everything is just as described (including the family of feral pigs who snorted and trotted across the yard!) We unfortunately had two days of Solid rain from a tropical storm but there was lots of power and we stayed dry and comfortable in the tree house. Kristi has thought of it all and provides coffee and tea and many other essentials you'll need to keep your stay comfortable. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!
Brian2015-08-17T00:00:00ZThe listing was just as described and more. Fantastic place to stay on BI.
Justin2016-01-05T00:00:00ZKristie's treehouse is absolutely magical! We arrived late at night to find lanterns guiding our way back through the Fern Forrest to the treehouse. We went to sleep to the sounds of frogs and light rain on the roof. Waking up in the treehouse after our first night on island was incredible. We loved looking through the book that Kristie made showing how she built the house. Everything was perfect and it was such a luxurious way to live off the grid. We left inspired to build our own one day! The location was great for exploring Volcano National Park and the surrounding area. We can't wait to come back one day!
caitlin2015-06-27T00:00:00ZThe treehouse is an amazing place. Kristie has truly created a beautiful tiny home. We loved being up in the trees, looking at the full moon, listening to the sounds outside. So tranquil yet a real adventure. Kristie is very helpful and a quick responser, she made it all very easy. All in all, a very special time.
Lucia2014-12-08T00:00:00ZKristie was awesome and made sure that everything was well on track. Such a cool concept and I am sure it will catch on with others, I am just glad that I had the chance to stay in it before it comes too commercial! Great little tree house and it certainly was a great way to unwind for a few days while we did the Volcano
Joey2015-06-13T00:00:00ZEverything was great!
伊伦2016-03-30T00:00:00ZIt is really great place to get away from the fast pace of life. The host is considerate and send us the guide book ahead of time. There is free bottles of water, nuts and brownie in the room. In the morning, you will wake up with birds singing around. At night, you could easily fall asleep in quiet environment. It will be a unforgettable experience.

Es war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis in der Homesteader Cabin eine Nacht zu verbringen. Die Ruhe und Einsamkeit, die Lichtverhältnisse bei Sonnenauf- und Untergang und das besondere Flair der Cabin. Wir waren dort mit unserem fünfjährigen Sohn und auch ihn hat alles sehr beeindruckt. Wir haben alles so vorgefunden wie wir es erwartet haben und Jay hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen uns alles erklärt und darüber hinaus viele unserer Fragen zur Region beantwortet. Vielen Dank!
Monika2014-09-11T00:00:00ZSteph and Jay have created a really unique property - perfect for those who want to experience the landscape up close. We enjoyed our stay immensely! Thanks!
jodi2016-07-08T00:00:00ZWow! location wise this place cannot be (URL HIDDEN) was a special experience being surrounded by desert wilderness and its wildlife. Steph and Jay were great, very helpful and good communicators. They gave us prior warning about the heatwave and that the cabin has no air con and left the decision up to us, and yes it was a ridiculously hot night but we wouldn't have missed it for the world...plus the outdoor shower is awesome! Oh and eat at the 29 Palms Inn, it's a slice of desert nostalgia with great food... You must come and experience this for yourselves, you won't be disappointed!
Kirsty2011-06-23T00:00:00ZWe stayed at the cabin for one night and everything was great! So peaceful, amazing views all around. We met Jay who showed us around the place and he was very nice and friendly and helpful! Oh and the outdoor shower, awesome xx
Sophie2012-08-02T00:00:00ZThis cabin is an architectural marvel - authentic, with a fine interior and a fantastic view over the wilderness.
Marco2014-07-12T00:00:00ZJay was very helpful upon arrival, explained everything thoroughly and made us feel welcome. The homesteader cabin was beautiful and very clean, the bed was comfortable and the remote desert area was perfect for our 2 day getaway. The light is wonderful in the desert and the big glass windows make the room feel magical. Definitely very happy with our experience!
Raffa2015-07-18T00:00:00ZThis is a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended for getting away from it all.
James2015-04-23T00:00:00ZThis place is total bliss. We couldn't recommend it high enough. It was so wonderful being so removed from civilisation and a perfect place to base ourselves to visit Joshua Tree. Jay was really welcoming and we had everything we needed.

Isa was a wonderful host, and the trullo was beautiful. Photos don't do it justice. We can't wait to come back to the region.
Angela2016-07-31T00:00:00ZNous avons adoré notre séjour au Trullo d'Isa. En famille avec 2 enfants, la maison est spacieuse, confortable et décorée avec beaucoup de goût, le jardin est aussi très agréable. Le lieu, entre Cisternino et Ostuni, bénéficie d'une situation idéale pour découvrir toute la vallée d'Itria. La maison est bien isolée et très calme. Nous avons fait la connaissance d'Isa à notre arrivée, Isa s'est montrée très disponible et attentionnée. En conclusion, une étape à ne pas manquer !
Alexandre2014-07-23T00:00:00ZThis is a wonderful Trullo. In beautiful surroundings. We couldn't have had a better weeks break. Isa is a fantastic host. Her info pack has plenty of information and her recommendations are spot on. If peace and quiet is what you like but lovely places to visit within easy reach this is it. We'll be back.
Gary2016-10-03T00:00:00ZIsa was very helpful when we got lost (raining at night and our GPS failed) - so she came out and found us and guided us back to the Trullo. It is the most beautiful property and we had a wonderful 5 days there. We enjoyed cooking and eating the wonderful local produce that Isa had collected and left for us. It is the quintessential italian rural holiday that I have always dreamt about. So grateful to have had this experience. Thanks Isa.
Michelle2015-10-26T00:00:00ZIsa was welcoming and helpful, even leaving water, wine, bread, cheese and some fruit from her property. Having access to a washer was extra great!
Margi and Doug2016-10-29T00:00:00ZIsa has a beautiful home in Puglia. All of the details are really considered and the design is beautiful. We look forward to visiting again!
Jordan2015-01-18T00:00:00ZThe pictures of the trullo are great, and they were the reason that we chose to stay here. However, they can't actually capture the wonderful essence of the place. You pull up to a modern automatic gate, when it opens you see tons of olive trees, beautiful flowers, and the most amazingly restored trullo. Everything about the place is perfection. From the remarkable host, Isa, who helped us with everything. She is clearly such a kind-hearted person, and I wish that we had more time to get to know her. To the inside of the house where everything was so fabulously designed, the perfect mixture of old and new. To the amazing grounds, where when we got hungry we would go outside and pick the most delicious cherries. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and plan on it. In fact, if it was for sale I would have wanted to buy it- furniture and all. One thing to know, you must rent a car. It is too far from Ostuni, but not having a car in this area would be a shame- there is too much to see!
Allison2013-06-01T00:00:00ZArrivati al tramonto in un trullo ricco di aromi e fascino, siamo stati accolti da una ospite gentile e pronta a rispondere alle nostre domande. Abbiamo trascorso una settimana alla scoperta delle bellezze culturali e culinarie della zona, con momenti di tranquillità assoluta in un trullo arredato con gusto e sapienza. Esperienza da rifare!

Our experience was terrific, from the welcoming reception to the picture perfect breakfast and engaging conversation - we highly recommend Alexis and Lotte's cave and will definitely be returning. Parking was easy, the location was convenient and the room was well equipped and charming.

catherine2016-07-18T00:00:00ZAlexis and Lotte were wonderful hosts. Very friendly and made our stay memorable. We were given a fantastic breakfast in the morning that sustained us for a long day of touring chateaus! The cave was beautiful and quiet in the evening which made for a good nights sleep. They were also quick to offer suggestions for the area and for restaurants. They have two adorable cats that greeted us as well! Thank you for the experience!
Lauren2016-10-19T00:00:00ZPerfect, perfect, perfect!!! This place is absolutely beautiful and it's simply a reflection of Alexis and Lotte...they are absolutely beautiful and kind people! Our stay was amazing, but way too short. If you have the opportunity to visit Amboise and experience the cave, please stay for more than one or two (URL HIDDEN) magical!! Communication was easy before we arrived and during our stay. Alexis picked us up, we were welcomed, and even got to select our room (we chose the studio). The house is lovely and peaceful and the rooms were clean and very comfortable...the bed and shower are fantastic!! The location is great, but I would suggest having a car or bike...shops, restaurants, and the train are close. This was a perfect stay and we look forward to visiting again soon!! Thank you so much Alexis and Lotte for opening your home to us!! We cannot wait to visit again!!

Hector Cave House is even more fantastic in real life than it is in the photos, it's simply perfect. We just spent a week there and had a great time, waking up every morning to that view of the caldera was amazing. The location is absolutely ideal, just a few minutes from the main street with bars, restaurants and mini markets and a mere 30 seconds from the castle with the stunning sunset views. We spoke to Giannis when we arrived and he contacted us every couple of days to make sure everything was fine with our stay, he also left his number and said we could call him day or night with any issues. The perfect host, not intrusive but available when you need him. I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending Hector Cave House as the perfect place to stay in Oia.
Stuart2015-05-18T00:00:00ZFor anyone who wants to feel the real life of Santorini, in Oia! I specifically chose this house - to touch to the Oia. Excellent accommodation with stunning views of the Caldera, it seems that in the heart of... To watch the sunset, you have to pass a few meters. Great patio, we lunched and rested while enjoying spectacular views. Hotels in this place is very expensive, so the price for the apartment - very good. It is pleasant, standing on the stairs to watch the tourists who think that this is your house )
Alexander2012-07-30T00:00:00ZIoannis is an incredibly generous host. We met up in Athens for a drink and a chat about Ioannis' recommendations for places to visit in Oia. Ioannis also thoughtfully arranged a transfer for us and left a mobile phone at the house in case we needed to contact him. He's an absolutely perfect host! Of course the cave house is amazing, and a real steal for the price. It is peaceful in the morning and late evening, and well positioned to enjoy the sunset.
josh2012-09-22T00:00:00ZGiannis has a beautiful home high above the sea in Oia, Santorini! The house is very tastefully decorated and the terraces are spectacular! Unsurpassed view! Giannis was great at keeping in touch both before and during our stay, and sent us a detailed email with advice and info. It would have been great to meet him but he was not in Santorini when we were there. That said, he did make sure we had what we needed and that there was someone to check us in upon arrival. Would definitely recommend!
Emily2015-08-04T00:00:00ZAbsolutely a stunning place to stay and Giannis is a great host, very responsive and help out for whatever we needed. The view is picturesque and the house is nicely renovated. The house is just a few steps to the sunset spot and a good crepe restaurant (Giannis' friend) around the corner. Thank you Giannis for the kind hospitality.
Angel2016-07-10T00:00:00ZThis place was beautiful!! I would recommend staying here. It is central to everything. Giannis was so kind and helpful.
Dominique2016-06-29T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at Giannis' place. The view was asotunding, it was clean, in a great spot and he was very helpful. Book this place. It is excellent.
Aaron2013-07-15T00:00:00ZHello Ioannis, We are back in Geneva after a super great stay in your cave house. We backpacked on Crete for 2 weeks and really enjoyed the last week on Santorini. Your house was a perfect ending to a fabulous vacation. Yes the view is vast and beautiful...I loved the hammock. We cooked every night and the kitchen was perfect. The house is charming, simple, warm, authentic. It was a home and we loved it. Hector the cat visited from time to time and we had great hiking adventures. Best of all was your care and help from the moment we arrived..actually from the moment we booked. Thank you so much. Hope to return. Janet and Dominique

Jonathan2014-06-10T00:00:00ZI had a really nice relaxing stay in this beautiful and eclectic space for three nights. I was warmly welcomed and well looked after. Hope to get a chance to stay here again one day!
Do2014-08-24T00:00:00ZRebs Riad ist in der Tat ein kleiner Palast, den man erstens nicht sofort findet und zweitens in dieser Qualität nicht hinter den hohen, massiven Mauern vermutet. Wir haben uns nicht zuletzt wegen dieser wunderbaren Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt in Marrakesch und hätten am liebsten noch drei Tage angehängt. Danke für die vielen guten Sightseeing-Tipps und eure Gastfreundschaft! Heike & André
André2016-03-11T00:00:00ZThe Riad is amazing, perfectly located a few blocks away from the main square. The place is really calm and exactly as shown on the pictures. Our suite was HUGE ! very comfortable and the decoration was truly impressive. And beyond that, the service provided by Matteo and his team was more than special, his girlfriend, Simone and the lovely lady who work with them; they did everything to make us feel at home. We were welcomed with some local tea, breakfast every morning on the terrace (we loved the M'semmen made by the sweet lady), in the middle of the week they prepared us a fabulous Coucous, they provided us with a lot of information and at the end of our stay they even booked a private cab to take us to the airport. We definitively had a great time and we will not hesitate to stay here again in our next visit to Marrakesh. So if you are still looking for a place to stay in the heart of Marrakesh, don't look further, THIS is the place.
Carlos2013-03-20T00:00:00ZThis Riad really was an oasis amid the hustle of Marrakech. Very old and retaining all of its beautiful decoration. Artefacts on display from all over Africa. Great breakfasts, lovely central courtyard and roof top. I would definitely stay here again.
Evelyn2015-03-17T00:00:00ZNous avons passé un formidable séjour dans ce beau riad tout proche de la place Jemaa el Fna... Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir une chambre exceptionnelle avec un plafond arabe digne des milles et une nuit... Mais l'ensemble du riad vaut vraiment le coup... un très bel endroit que je recommande vivement
Marc2016-01-04T00:00:00ZWe had a really amazing stay at the Riad. The room was stunning with great details and a very comfortable bed. The staff was always helpful and made us feel at home right away, helping us to figure out our trip and making delicious food when we needed. Probably the best place we stayed at throughout our time in Morocco. We'll be back!

This was our first Airbnb booking. The experience has been excellent. Mar was a thoughtful, communicative and relaxed host. Staying in her inspiring apartment made our stay in Barcelona. We were able to walk to most places. There are multiple restaurants, supermarkets and metro within one block. Thank you Mar for allowing us into your home!
Ed2014-07-24T00:00:00ZMar has the dream apartment. I would happily live there forever. Sparklingly modern, spotlessly clean, brazenly white, and at the same time warm and inviting. The kitchen was great to cook in and place absorbed eight of us effortlessly. Mar was lovely to work with. The place is brilliantly located as well.
N B2016-04-03T00:00:00ZWe had a fantastic stay at this clean, spacious and well equipped apartment, set in a beautiful Modernist building with lots of original features. The neighbourhood was residential but full of restaurants, bars and supermarkets and only 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre. We were warmly greeted by Mar's parents and spoke to Mar herself on the phone. We were encouraged to call should we need anything during our stay. Overall a brilliant experience. Thank you!
Penelope2015-07-29T00:00:00ZThis was a fabulous apartment - the photos do not do it justice - it is beautifully presented and in a great location - walking distance to many sites
Georgia2015-03-11T00:00:00ZMar's apartment is beautiful with many artistic details. The apartment is conveniently located close enough to many of Barcelona's attractions while being nestled far enough from the touristy areas. She was very helpful to us and flexible with our schedule. We loved our stay in Barcelona and our place of residence was a big part of that experience
Roberto2016-01-21T00:00:00ZVery cozy and spacious apartment with a good location in Barcelona. Mar was very affable and did a great introduction on our arrival. Also she can respond very quickly if you have any questions or need help.
Dmitri2016-05-13T00:00:00ZA wonderful apartment with a light and bright feel. Beautifully equipped, very well situated and most comfortable for our family of five. two bathrooms makes it especially handy when staying with a family with teenage children - plenty of space for all! While the renovated apartment is spacious and modern there are still some nice period touches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.
Natasha2016-10-06T00:00:00ZMar's flat is amazing! Beautifully decorated, peaceful and super spacious. It has all the amenities you could need and the two bathrooms are gorgeous. The original features, such as the cornices in the bedroom are sensational. There is a strict no parties or loud noise rule in the building, so avoid if this is your thing, but this suited us fine.

Ion "IRON" Oncescu | |
Born | Ion Oncescu April 25, 1978 Bucharest |
Residence | Bucharest, Romania |
Occupation | Arm wrestler |
Height | 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) |
Weight | 95 kg (209 lb) |
Title | World arm wrestling champion |
Ion Oncescu (born April 25, 1978 in Bucharest) is a professional Romanian armwrestler, a multiple time world and European champion for both the left and the right hand.[1] He was inducted in March 2011 in the World's Hall of Fame "The 50 Greatest Armwrestlers In History".[2]
In his youth at the age of 12 he made plans to run out of Communist Romania and started an intensive training program that included daily jogging and swimming so that he could be ready, by the age of 17, for any obstacle that could emerge during his intended flight from the country.[3] His first contact with sports took place at FC Dinamo Bucureşti where he played football at a youth level, but he soon found tennis more interesting and started to train under the guidance of Florin Segărceanu.[1]
Ion Oncescu won his first national arm wrestling title when he was 18 years old and since then has been undisputed champion despite starting specific arm wrestling training in 2005, nine years after his debut.[1] He graduated the Journalism faculty and the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies International Business and Economics profile.[3]
He became a first time world champion at the XXIXth World Armwrestling Championships held in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria in October 2007.[3] For the left arm Oncescu had to engage in 10 matches, and of his opponents five of them were past world champions. In the second round he surprisingly lost against the Bulgarian champion Stoyan Golemanov, but recovered and reached the final against Russian Dzambolat Tsoriev, who was undefeated at that time. Ion Oncescu won 2–0 and became world champion for the first time in his career.[3] The next day he had to compete for the right arm championship, and was engaged in eight matches and reached the final where he met the same Dzambolat Tsoriev. Oncescu lost the first match but won the other two and became world champion for the right arm and for the whole tournament world undisputed champion, receiving US$23,000 in prize money.[3]
Ion Oncescu won his third and fourth world title at the World Armwrestling Championships held in Kelowna, Canada. He had to engage in 20 matches, 10 for the left arm and 10 for the right arm on his way to his two world titles.[1]
In 2007 at the Nemiroff World Cup, Oncescu fulfilled his lifelong dream of winning against Polish born American arm wrestling champion John Brzenk, but eventually lost against Ukrainian Andrei Puskar.[4]
On 2009 shot down 100 opponents.
On 2010 shot down 300 opponents.
On 20 February 2011 event "Oncescu vs. 500" at Băneasa Shopping City and live on Sport.ro shot down 500 opponents (including: K-1 fighter Tolea Ciumac; weightlifting champion Ninel Miculescu; professional basketball player Virgil Stănescu; darts, bodybuilding and shot put national champion Daniel Racoveanu).
On February 12, 2012 at Sun Plaza Bucharest, after a contest of almost 8 hours with 1000 opponents, Oncescu set a new World Record, which was certified by Guinness World Records representative, beating all the 1000 participants (even 1024 until stop contest). The show was televised live on sport.ro TV channel.

Hi All,
This is our first trip to Utah. We are staying 8 days end of January (overlapping Sundance) and plan to ski DV, PC, Canyons and take a shuttle to Alta for a day trip. So, ski-in/out will only benefit us for part of our trip. We generally ski all day and everyday most trip. So, nightlife not important, just because we are sooo tired. However, we do eat out or like to take in and go for an evening walk or stroll about town most nights. Sounds silly after all that skiing, but walking keeps our legs loose.
I have narrowed it down to the following that fits our budget and priced in the following order highest to lowest - all have great views and seem decent properties:
Snow Flower studio/full kitchen condo, true ski-in/out at Three Kings Lift area.
Powder Pointe, one bedroom, not ski-in out, but walk to lifts, seems like location good for walking to some area restaurants, liquor store, etc.
Sundial one-bedroom, ski-in/out right by the New Gondola, but need shuttle to get around (which we've done on other vacas and never been a problem).
Silverado Studio/full kitchen condo - also Canyons, Also, need shuttle to get about anywhere including lifts but savings of $500 - 800 over all the above properties.
Your thoughts?

Iceland Part 5
Campground at Skaftafell, it had the feel of a large US national park with an extensive visitor centre and vast parking area. |
There is a huge amount of eroded material emanating from the various glaciers along the coast and it all ends up in the vast gravel plains that extend from the base of the hills to the sea. Google Earth provides a good sense of their scale.
Rock formations near the black sand beach at Vik |
Puffins near Vik |
The Ejafjallajokull volcano is lurking in the cloud. The locals told us that the farmland in the area had benefited immensely from the volcanic ash deposited during the eruption |
The Blue Lagoon, associated power plant and the nearby Northern Lights Inn. A soak in the Blue Lagoon was a fine way to end the trip. |
That's the end of the trip. I've yet to meet anyone who's been disappointed by Iceland and I am no exception. It's definitely a place I'll be back to, but will probably wait until I have a party that are all capable of multi-day backpacking trips. As I mentioned in the first post, with the notable exception of car hire, Iceland isn't overly expensive, at least to those of us already conditioned by life in Rip-off Britain. You can get a bus pretty much everywhere so next time I'd probably rely on public transport. Here's my list of activities I'd like to do when I return.
1. Tour the west, particularly Snaefellsjokull
2. Peak bagging in Kerlingarfjoll
3. The canyon walk to Dettifoss
4. Climb Mt Heroubreid
5. The classic 5 day Laugavegur trek
6. Get a proper vehicle and traverse the interior by the Askja route
7. See a volcano erupting

So often people are working hard at the wrong thing. Working on the right thing is probably more important than working hard.
tom s.
on 29 Sep 09I would use that when my boss asks my why I'm not working hard, but somehow I don't think it would help. Which is why working hard is often the safer route if you're not running your own show. Bad metric, but too often the only visible one.
Ed Tennant
on 29 Sep 09Give me a bunch of smart, lazy programmers and I could make anything. Smart, lazy programmers automate repetitive tasks so they become more and more efficient over time.
Mark C. Webster
on 29 Sep 09And it's also important to remember that working hard and looking like you're working hard are too different things.
When someone is really good at something, they usually make it look easy. Doesn't mean they aren't working hard.
Confusing, I know…
Ralph Haygood
on 29 Sep 09All too true.
Rick G
on 29 Sep 09By "hard" work I assume you mean a high level of activity. Because often "hard work" is actually copious easy work being done in lieu of a more difficult task that could be done with less physical activity or time.
Doing the hard thing means facing the potential for failure. But defining productivity as keeping busy allows anybody to be successful.
Sébastien Orban
on 29 Sep 09How do we know that we work on wrong or good things ? It's the main problem here…
on 29 Sep 09this reminds me of Jack Handy
on 30 Sep 09always been a problem in a world where you have to log in 8-10 hours of "work" everyday. some people can do a task in 4 hours, other the same thing in 8 hours but yet the guy who's done after 4 hours and do "nothing" is perceived as lazy, when the one who works overtime 12 hours to do the same is perceived as hard worker
Credit Card Chaser
on 30 Sep 09@Pierre I agree with you although it would still be yet one better to have someone that doesn't just subscribe to the classic "Work smarter not harder" but rather the "Work smarter AND harder" since there is really no need to make it a false either/or scenario as someone smart enough really can get done in 4 hrs what some take 8 hrs to get done and then yet still work on other things just as hard for the next 4 hrs – or the next 8 hrs :)
on 30 Sep 09Sounds absolutey ridiculous, but I watched this while tinkering with / working on a hobby project after dinner. Had to roll back a couple of times, but directly led to some fundamental changes in look / feel & therefore usability of what I was working on … talk about good timing!

Unethical search engine optimization techniques
There are many unethical (also referred to as black hat) search engine optimization techniques doing the rounds. You have to be well versed with many of these techniques so that you refrain from using them in your search engine optimization.
Use of trademarked keywords in domain names is illegal. So if you are thinking of registering a domain name with a trademark keyword (such as Sony), it is illegal as it violates federal trademark laws. According to the law, this move creates confusion amongst consumers, giving the impression that there is some affiliation between your site and the owner of the trademark.
It is also not permitted to use trademarked keywords in Meta tags, where you could possibly get sued if you did. It is however possible to use trademarked terms as keywords in the visible part of the page, when quoting or referring to the company or one of it's products.
Just have to stop for a minute and mention the blokes from poweron control systems ltd. This article wouldn't have been possible without their input. They are a splendid control panel manufacturer in Ontario and they were happy to give me some education on the topic I'm talking about. If you are in need of their services, have a look at their site at http://poweron.ca. OK, back to it!
Resorting to advertising using trademark keywords is also a no-no. If you attempt to present your web page with searches using trademarked keywords for maximum traffic, you will only end up getting into hot water with the trademarked company.
Pagejacking is a black hat technique where you copy another persons web page and submit it to search engines as your own. This is done to get high rankings; however, this is a form of stealing copyright content and is about as unethical as it gets.
So this gives you a quick snapshot of why you should stay away from black hat search engine optimization techniques. They are short term, and only spell trouble for you and your website. I suggest you always opt for, and use white hat SEO techniques on your website, which are proven to be beneficial in the long term, and I will write about some of these in a future post.
One further thing before I go. Credit for this article would go to Alectronic Scale Systems Inc. They're a reputable load cell manufacturer in Canada located in Ontario. The concept for this post came to me while talking to Vallance there. One thing led to another and we wound up discussing the subject in detail. Anyway, check their webpage out at http://www.alectronic.com. That's all for the time being!

People sometimes forget that oceans contain a lot more than the water you see just beneath the surface.
The depths below the ocean's surface comprise a staggering 95% of the earth's living space, and much of it is unexplored by humans.
To put into perspective just how deep the oceans go, Xkcd.com created this illustration (click the image for a larger version):
As you can see, most of the ocean doesn't even see sunlight. Even scientists aren't familiar with everything that's down there.
In fact, getting to the deepest reaches of the ocean is so expensive that some people — like Oscar-winning director James Cameron — take it upon themselves to explore underwater spaces rarely visited by humans.
Cameron visited the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on earth at seven miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in a minisubmarine in 2012. He was only the second person to visit that area of the ocean.
He didn't see any sea monsters, but he described the experience as out of this world.

These chocolatey cupcakes are made with chipotle chile powder, making for one devilishly delicious dessert.
The chipotle chili powder gives these chocolaty treats a slightly smoky flavor plus a bit of heat. You can use regular chili powder, which will provide less heat, or ancho chili powder, which will provide some heat but no smoky flavor. Look for the specialty chili powders with the other spices at the supermarket.
Gel or paste food color will provide a vibrant red color without softening the frosting. You can use liquid food color, but the frosting might not hold its shape as well.
Only have 2 mini muffin pans? Refrigerate the remaining batter. Once the muffins have been removed from pan, line with paper baking cups and bake batter as directed.

This was our first experience at any Best Western property. While not a member of their frequent guest program, this will be our #1choice of places to stay on future Daytona vacations. (I have other favorites in the Miami area). Our 3 night stay was timed to avoid the Spring Break weeks and bike weeks, so it was quiet and relaxing. We arrived late, were thrilled to have free parking onsite, checked in to our Ocean View room, which is a little different I found out, from Ocean Front. We were over the parking lot yet had a wonderful ocean view. The other side of the hall faces the pool, which if you want the easiest access to the pool and beach, select ground floor on the pool side. A few rooms on the far end directly face the ocean ("oceanfront"). I'm guessing our rate didn't include that :) Anyway, the design of the hotel pretty much ensures that most if not all the rooms have some water view, and it was heavenly to sit outside taking in the sounds and sight of the waves. A sign posted in the room reminds guests to keep the sliding door closed so the salt and moisture don't cause damage, so we complied with that, and also with the other sign about closing the drapes at night so the lights don't confuse sea turtle hatchlings making their way back to the ocean. The parking lot lights noticeably face away from the water while still illuminating the lot. I did wonder how the sea turtles fared with occasional fireworks on the beach....
But, back to the Aku Tiki. I enjoyed each and every staff member we came in contact with. They were so refreshingly noncorporate - pleasant and low key. The demeanor sort of matched the casual atmosphere of the area, yet there was clearly a lot of attention to detail in that the property was so well kept. Hallways were always vacuumed and the pool area was clean and inviting. They also have a generously sized toddler pool adjacent. Off to one side is a guest laundry with 2 washers and 2 dryers, 8 quarters each to operate. Beach access was easy, follow the sidewalk leading from the pool. Upon returning, there is a hose available for rinsing off sand. Loved that! Rooms are large and comfortable. One slow elevator, unfortunately. Our room had a minifridge, coffee maker and microwave. Breakfast is included in the room rate. I'm not a huge fan of most hotel breakfasts but for those who are, this will be perfect. The usual assortment of hot and cold items. I'm just there for the coffee, which was fresh and plentiful. The staff greets you on arrival and records your information, which is about the best idea I've ever seen for hotels offering free breakfasts. There was none of that sense you sometimes have at properties where it appears many people not staying at a hotel, are joining a hotel guest for the free breakfast. At the 530-630 happy hour, hotel guests are given one free drink and children receive either a lemonade or fruit punch, depending on the day. Again, kudos to them for noting the room key. it helps keep the rates reasonable. We got our drinks/lemonades, tipped the bartender and took the drinks up to our room to enjoy on the balcony. As far as housekeeping, from our point of view everything was perfect. I have a routine that consists of checking everything on arrival, wiping down all surfaces with cleansing wipes. After that no housekeeping needed for the duration of the stay, still leaving tip on departure. We placed the do not disturb sign on the door and no one ever so much as knocked, although they were in the hall attending to other rooms. We also bring shampoos and such so we don't need to get anything other than maybe a bar of soap. I've become one of the "green" converts and hang up towels to dry, but have no judgments either way, and for those who want the daily housekeeping, it is there. In the closet there was a good sized safe, big enough to hold a laptop plus a DVD player and 3 phones/chargers. A note about the area and the beach: We were strictly there for the beach experience and did not explore the town. The restaurant onsite did have some interesting reasonably priced specials, that some folks in the elevator were raving about, which is a good sign, I just can't comment directly because we didn't eat there. The hotel next door also had a small cafe that looked nice enough. There is a 7-11and IHOP directly across the street. We did have a couple meals there, something I will only do while traveling. Also across the street and one more block over, is a Winn-Dixie, a full service grocery store where we got some takeout food items. The Aku-Tiki has a lovely picnic area in back of the pool overlooking the ocean. Other than that, you'd likely need to drive to find other dining options. Daytona Beach: The beach itself was different than Miami area beaches in that vehicles are permitted, which seems odd, and is not quite as odd when you experience it, but still different. There were good waves to play in and I was able to wander out far enough to feel the rip current. It's not much of a beachcombing beach, almost no shells and only tiny ones, but nice for building sandcastles. Had awesome long walks along the shore at sunset. Area authorities are, in my opinion, a little unnecessarily militant in kicking everyone off the beach during inclement weather, but I know there are many arguments in favor of that. I will always believe that avoiding getting hit by lightning should be my own personal responsibility. So, this was our Florida beach vacation, and we will be certain to visit this hotel again.

What is an architect in society today?
Patrik Schumacher 2002
Survey appearing in: Hunch Magazine, No.5, The Netherlands
What is an architect in society today?
This rather small and particular segment of avant garde production is nevertheless taken to define the essential character of the discipline and it's practitioners define the role model of "the architect". The distinction between avant-garde and mainstream or the high art of architecture vs commercial architecture remains a constitutive undercurrent for the self-image of the architect. This logic can not be overcome by fiat: the Dutch attempt to embrace banality from within the avant-garde discourse can not collapse this distinction. We do not regret this. We think this division of labor makes sense with respect to the promotion of the spatial aspects of the socio-economic development.
However, utopian speculation is rather dubious today. In recent years the very notion of progress and the ambition to project a different future has come to be regarded as suspect. Architecture as a discipline and discourse is faced with a large number of shifting variables and conflicting interests. The complexity of the situation precludes straightforward goal orientation. A playing field for experimentation is required to explore possible problems/solutions. This is the raison d'etre of architecture's relative autonomy. Experimentation requires a certain distancing from immediate performative pressures and the demand of best practise delivery.
innovative production a playing field for formal research and spatial
invention is required where both functional and economic performance
criteria are less stringent than in the commercial sector. However,
research is not institutionalised within architecture – neither as
publicy funded university research nor in the form of research departments
within the big architectural firms. Instead the discipline relies on
two substitutes for proper research : architecture schools and
avant garde architects. The commissions of avant garde architects have
to function as vehicles of architectural research. This
is possible within a special segment of the architectural market - the
segment of high profile cultural buildings.
the architect's perspective such cultural icon buildings demands a
certain type of design office and a mode of working that is not easily
adapted to the mundane projects that are locally around the corner.
It requires a world market of cultural project opportunities to feed
a 50 people strong crew specialized in creative work. Thus also from
the supply side the partition of the profession is reinforced.
centers and other "cultural" buildings usually have only loosely defined
briefs that allow for interpretation and experimentation. Architecture
as a discipline and discourse revolves around such buildings. The public
character and media attention attached to these experiments make them
into vehicles of experimental engagement with a wide array of audiences.
This offers an opportunity to gather feed-back and use such buildings
as focal points for participatory innovative processes. The burden
of argument and proof is – to this extent - lifted of the shoulders of the individual
architect even if written statements that try to make sense of strange,
experimental designs are an essential part of the professional practise
in the avant garde/research segment of the profession. Unfortunately
the next step - the translation of new spatial and formal repertoires
into the mainstream - is a matter that largely takes place
outside the critical attention of the discipline or else is deningrated.
This evaluation of the mainstream in terms of a lack of originality,
or a compromise of tectonic/aesthetic principles misses the point –
the raison d'etre of the division of labour within the profession.
However the exchanges between the two fields are no one-way street. We subscribe to Koolhaas' method of the retro-active manifesto. Innovations are more than just new and different. Not everything goes. Alternatives have to link up with realities. Also :Innovation might be hidden in the « ugly » deviations of commercial development. Taking clues from aspects of mainstream/commercial developments that are not traces of high architecture but rather enforced deviations is a useful technique of seeking out phenomena to extrapolate from.
Tendencies might also be mutated. The question is how much alterity can be digested at once. The burden of responsibility for success can no longer be shouldered by the architect alone. This would choke the development.
1. One task is to scan society to find architectural problems and define briefs even if no client is articulating them. This updates the agenda of architecture.
2. A second task is to explore new design media and modelling techniques. This is closely related to the proliferation of new formal repertoires. Initially such research should be independent of any stringent brief or strict criteria of instrumentalisation. The task is to untap potentials that might inspire the search of problems on the basis of discovered « solutions ». This reversal of the usual means to ends logic is impossible within professional practise – and highly constrained within avant garde practise. The freedom to post-rationalise is greatest where no specific problem is posed from the outside – the only requirement being that a form – function relationship is established at the end.
The function of this academic laboratory research is to criticise, irritate and inspire avant garde and then mainstream professional practise. The idea that academia itself could establish models of best practise is utterly misguided.
6) If you would educate the students at the Berlage laboratory what would you educate them ?
Once this distinction between two domains of architectural innovation - programmatic vs formal innovation - has been posited the call for synthesis seem irresitable : the pursuit of new agendas by means of new media and new forms. Indeed such a synthesis is crucial. However - neither new agendas nor new forms are readily available and their mutual « fit » rarely obvious. Both ingredients of architectural research require an independent life before synthesis can be attemted. The appropriate technique of coping with this is oscillation - either within a project or between projects.
