Literary Travel in London, Florence and Rome
Guided by the pages of influential writers, we explore the imagination behind the most romantic of European cities.
Belgium is famous for its comics, but few characters can compete with the beloved blue Smurfs. First brought to life in the 1950s, the franchise celebrates its 60th birthday this year (the same birthday that Hotel Amigo is celebrating) and to mark the occasion, the Smurfs are jumping off the page and into real life at Brussels Expo’s sensational Smurf Experience.
Designed to transport visitors into the world of the Smurfs through life-size scenery and interactive challenges, watch as you seem to shrink to “three apples high” as your surroundings grow around you. Go on a family adventure through a world filled with state-of-the-art virtual reality, magic potions and of course the evil wizard Gargamel, in order to save the day—and the Smurfs!
An unmissable opportunity for comic book fans of all ages, Hotel Amigo is celebrating the Smurfs’ momentous anniversary with a very special family package. In addition to a complimentary children’s room, the exclusive Smurfs package includes a welcome meeting with the hotel’s Family Concierge and Belgian comics expert, Jean, who will share his top tips with visitors before handing over tickets to Brussels’ Smurf Experience, as well as special Smurf costumes for little ones and locally made Smurf soap for adults. With the kids suitably dressed in their brand-new outfits, you’ll then be driven to the Smurf Experience by your very own chauffer—also dressed for the occasion as Smurf villain, Gargamel.

Throughout history, the largest island in the Mediterranean has captivated travellers as a land of myth, natural beauty and ancient memory. Shaped by Greek colonies, Emirates of Crete, Roman Provinces, Norman Kingdoms and Spanish rule, Sicily holds the imprint of civilisations past. Woven into its landscapes, their presence remains with its buildings, ruins and along the pretty coastal paths that follow its shores.
Inside the Donna Franca Suite at Villa Igiea
Vivacious, glamorous, powerful. Few figures encapsulate the effortless grandeur of the Belle Époque quite like Donna Franca, our Sicilian muse. Famed for her petite frame, thick dark hair and an exquisite fashion sense that has endured for over a century, Franca was the epitome of an era that placed beauty and high fashion at its forefront.
