Elsa & Tronny, a travel journal for two
A few notes on how we describe routes, prices, and stays so nothing gets lost between the page and the road.
It means no more than two planned stops per day, with at least one free afternoon. We leave room for a long lunch, an unplanned detour, or simply sitting on a terrace. The routes we suggest are tested at a slow pace, not a checklist.
No. We give indicative ranges based on mid-season prices for two people, excluding flights. Costs change with the season and your choices, so treat them as a starting point. We always note where you can save without losing the experience.
We look for places with fewer than twenty rooms, a clear sense of place, and hosts who live nearby. We skip chain hotels and glossy resorts. Every stay is visited or checked through recent guest reports before it appears in a guide.
Yes. Most of our photography advice starts with composition and light, not gear. We include settings for both phones and entry-level cameras. If a technique needs a tripod or a specific lens, we say so clearly.
A place that is not the first result in a search engine and not crowded at midday. It can still be well known locally. We prefer spots you can reach by public transport or a short walk, and where you will not queue for a photo.
One clear next step
Start with a relaxed two-day route along the coast, with a boutique stay and a sunrise viewpoint already mapped out. We keep the planning light so you can focus on the drive, the stops and the quiet moments between them.
