With great joy, tonight I accepted an invitation to dine at the fabulous Hotel Fasano, just outside of Punta del Este, on the road to San Carlos.
I couldn't refuse: Fasano's PR is Astrid Perkins, a very dear friend of mine, with who I've shared many trips, adventures and experiences. I've went to see her last year, for the grand opening of the Hotel, on December 26, 2010.
And today, an year later, the Fasano is knwon around the world. Specialized international magazines have placed it on their top best-resorts-rankings. Every important visitor coming to Punta del Este stays there. From David Guetta to Bar Refaeli and the Brazilian businessmen who crowded the resort from December 27th to January 7th. It's no wonder: its buildings, hidden between the rocks, the comfort, the personalized attention, and the pool, suspended in front of a breathtaking sight... All that sure makes us all wish to spend our holidays there! Not to mention the spa and the delicious menu of its restaurant, where tonight I had the best fish of the season.
Its owner, Rogelio Fasano, a Brazilian descendant of an Italian family, took over the family business created by his grandfather and, from the first restaurants in Sao Paulo and Rio, he opened "cult" hotels in both cities, this one in Punta and a future challenge: a Fasano in Troncoso, north of Brazil.
An outstanding visionaire...
With the Maître and next to Astrid.
After dinner, to return to the car, I had to take my platforms and walk bare feet, observing that surreal landscape of rocks and cactus, under a full moon that could not make it more beautiful...
