Lake Geneva located in Wisconsin home to many world class spas, skiing, and just plain beauty. If you want a more traditional Christmas or whatever your holiday celebration is why not do it in a true winter wonderland. Horse drawn sleighs, hot coca, ginger bread, cuddling up by the fireplace mmmm sound soooo good right about now. A chance to withdraw from hectic holiday running around. This trip is not that bad on the wallet either :) If you live in the Midwest I recommend driving up, but be careful of the ice and snow. For those who are flying I recommend going into O'hare and then driving up or you can arrange pick up from the airport with select resorts. The resort that I recommend is Grand Geneva a beautiful picturesque resort nestled by the lake. The resort offers many affordable packages one of my favorites Christmas in the Country which includes a gingerbread house competition , dinner and show, carriage ride, spa treatments, and more. Now you are picturing how it would be with you cuddled up in your suite by the fire sipping a hot cocoa just relaxing :) Well go check out the site. Just Google Grand Geneva Resort.
Now for those who want something a little different and crave going to different countries I recommend the French Rivera a place of beauty. The architecture, landscape, food, people, and the just the all around of the Rivera is great. The best time to go for your wallets is before the Festival De Cannes or any Festival. The French Rivera consist of Nice, Antibes, Monaco, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Saint Raphael, and few more cities. Getting there can be expensive I must admit if you fly into Nice Airport. The best option and most scenic would be to fly into Paris and take the Train down which not expensive at all and gives you a chance to see the French country side. There are so many things to do such as wine tasting, shopping, beaches, try unbelievable seafood, and peek into the world of the ultra rich. A day trip to Monte Carlo is a must the city is just impeccable the architecture, skies, hills, and the crystal blue waters are so romantic giving Paris a run for its money being the city of love. When choosing where to stay in Cannes there is the Martinez Hotel which is very famous and very nice, In Monte Carlo you have the Fairmont which is very nice as well. The option I chose was to rent out a villa since it was a group of us it saved us money on a hotel and gave us the chance to embrace the local charm of Monte Carlo which was beautiful.
