Summer Vacationing with Ana Khouri

“Rome has always been one of my favorite cities and I love to come back, even if it’s just for a day or two. Here I am in the garden of my dreams at the Borghese Gallery. It’s truly an inspiring and beautiful place.”

“Feeling very dolce vita at il Pelicano bar, thanks to photos by Slim Aarons.”

“After a quick stop in Rome, we spent 5 days at il Pelicano—reading, sleeping, and eating. [My boyfriend] George and I both needed to just relax at the hotel and do nothing else. Our room had a super cute veranda where we had breakfast every morning and dinner at night. We did find the strength to walk to the bar for the best bellinis and dry martinis. Pictured here is the view from our room.”

“Mixing the Missoni railing with my Lisa Marie Fernandez bikini.”

“A bunch of people looking super stressed. The beach was incredibly beautiful during the day—perfect sunsets and the most clear water and ideal temperature. We really lucked out on the weather.”

“NO DIVING!”

“Making a wish at Hotel Du Cap in Antibes.”

“A seagull stealing a croissant during breakfast outside our room.”

“Taking in the view in an Eres swimsuit.”

“Walking through the legendary gardens at Hotel du Cap. This has been one of my favorite spots since I was a little girl. I try to come here each year with no work talk allowed! (Except for when I run into my publicist at the pool!)”

“Sunset on the deck.”

“When I look at this picture I’m transported back to this truly magical place.”

“Diving is fully allowed here.”

“For the last leg of the trip, we headed to Positano, one of the most incredible places in the world. I think this view sums it up. This picture was at lunch at Villa Tre Ville, one of my favorite places there.”

“George is still fully in vacation mode.”

“In case you were wondering, this is what the after effects of taking a chill pill looks like.”

“With George having a drink before dinner at San Pietro were we stayed on our last night. Ciao!”
