Mum’s the Word Mother’s Day Getaway Treats with a Difference
London, United Kingdom, March 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Every mum loves to receive flowers or chocolates for Mother’s Day, but this year why not surprise her with an extra special gift? Easyvoyage.co.uk - the UK’s latest and most comprehensive travel website – has put together a selection of short break destinations that will give your mum a Mother’s Day to remember.
Delia Mum: for mums that have a passion for food try a Good Tastes cookery course in the heart of Tuscany – A region well known for its food, wine and olive oil. Learn to cook robust Tuscan fare in some of the most stunning surroundings in Europe. The course will teach you about local produce and the ways it has been used in cooking over the centuries, culminating in producing a stunning 3 course meal prepared under the tutelage of Italian chefs. Cookery courses vary in price but expect to pay £140 for a day’s tuition. Flights to Florence start from £323 for 2 people.
Green Fingered Mum: mothers that are a wizard in the garden will love a visit to Monet’s Garden, Giverny – Monet’s wonderful water garden, is only a short trip away from Paris. Treat your mother to one of the world’s most magical gardens. Early spring sees the vibrant colours of the irises in full bloom, making it an extra special time to visit. In the afternoon, take a trip to the Palace of Versailles and immerse yourself in the history and grandeur of this impressive building. There are plenty of places to stay locally or return to Paris and whichever you decide the legendary French cuisine will end a perfect day. Flights to Paris start at £190 for 2 people, with an alternative option of the Eurostar with prices starting from £159pp.
Fashionista Mum: if your mum loves to shop then designer shopping in Milan will be a real treat – One of four fashion capitals of the world, there is no place better to indulge in some retail therapy. The ‘golden quadrangle’ houses all of the biggest names in fashion such as Gucci, Prada, Armani and Versace, as well as many smaller boutiques. Get lost wandering around the streets, taking your time to window shop and stop occasionally for a coffee in one of the many cafes around the city. Easyvoyage particularly recommends a walk down Via Torino which will appeal to anyone who truly loves their shoes. For more affordable fashion visit the Corso di Porta Ticinese area where you will find an abundance of retro and vintage clothing, Corso Vittorio Emanuele for great value boutiques, or one of Milan’s many markets. Flights to Milan start from £145 for 2 people.
Girly Mum: mums in need of a little TLC will adore this spa weekend in the Styrian Hills, Austria– Treat your mum to something extra special with a visit to the stunning Rogner Bad Blumau Spa Hotel, nestled in a secluded location amongst the pine tree covered Styrian Hills. This hotel was created by famous Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. One of the world’s biggest works of art, it has no straight lines with corridors which are curved to mirror the flowing scenery, curved lawn-covered roofs and gold domes that sit effortlessly in harmony with its beautiful surroundings. Hotel prices vary depending on treatments but a starting package containing a sample of treatments start at £295pp for a 2 night stay based on 2 sharing. Flights to Vienna start from £253 for 2 people.
