Ankole
Looking for unique and sustainable holiday gift ideas? Check out Ankole, a brand close to my heart, as the owner is a dear friend. All of her products are crafted with care from sustainably sourced materials, including stunning items made from Ankole cow horns. When you travel with The Joyous Journey, you'll receive a luggage tag made from these beautiful horns—a perfect example of her artistry. My own home is graced with her creations, from elegant napkin rings to stylish bottle openers, and I treasure my two pairs of cow horns. Ankole’s collection is ideal for anyone who values sustainability and unique design this holiday season!
Partners & Places
Hotel Ala Venezia
This month's partner spotlight is the Hotel Ala Venezia, an adults-only hotel. Hotel Ala has been the home of the Salmaso family for more than 70 years. Here you will find an informal but professional welcome, an easy-going but authentic atmosphere. The rooms are all different in style and decor and the location is strategic and easy to reach. Located in the middle of the action, one can explore all the major attractions of the Serenissima. The hotel overlooks Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, just a stone's throw from Piazza San Marco, Teatro della Fenice, and the Rialto district.
Just take a few steps to reach the shopping area, traditional restaurants, and museums like the Guggenheim Foundation and Palazzo Grassi.
