When I inherited a gargantuan sum of money due to the death of a relative that I had never met, I decided to dedicate my life on this earth to becoming the premier expert when it came to the world’s options regarding hotels and places to sty generally. I consequently have been moving from week to week every week for over ten years, staying in different places all over the planet every few days in the hope of identifying the number one hotels on each continent and in each country.




           
There used to be an establishment called the Hotel Vienna Austria in the capital city of the country that was a particular favourite of mine due to the fact that the beds were massive and the view over the river delightful. However, it was knocked down a few years ago and these days I would say that the number one hotel in the city is the Hilton Hotel Vienna. I am a frequent visitor to the city as I am also an amateur psychoanalyst and Vienna is where all of the archives of Freud’s work is kept.
           
If you are looking for somewhere in the world where you can enjoy exceptional beaches and rainforest then I would suggest that you head for Goa, in India. There is one stretch of coastline in particular, running between the sleepy fishing villages of Morjim and Ashvem, where you will find a number of establishments able to cater for the most refined tastes. There is a French restaurant called La Plage that has a series of shacks between the restaurant’s terrace and the beach in which one can stay for rates that won’t break the bank. Meanwhile, the food that you can get served to the veranda of your beach shack is of exceptional quality. The chef is an Englishman that trained for a decade in France and the standard of the cuisine would satisfy any pallet.
