Off the beaten track in the “Serenissima”

Arguably one of the most beautiful and evocative places in history, Venice is visited by millions but discovered by the very few. Our Editor-in-Chief, Julia Pasarón, takes us on a tour of her favourite places, which encapsulate the exquisite skill and craftmanship that made Venice the queen of luxury trade for centuries. Today, they are kept alive by independent ateliers that pepper its seductive streets and winding canals.

Having grown up within a family of art lovers, it is no surprise that in my childhood, I dreamt of going to Venice as much as other children dream of going to Disneyland. I’ve been lucky enough to visit this incredible city several times in my life. On this occasion, I travelled with my sister and chose to go completely off-grid, with the help of a local friend and that of Salvatore “Salva” Pisani, General Manager at the Splendid Venice, the hotel where we stayed.

It’s a pink building, like many others in Venice, but tucked behind the inconspicuous façade – close to St. Mark’s Square…

Destinations you’ll fall in love with

Traveling is one of the best ways to rekindle a relationship and get closer to your partner. There is something about being away that encourages love and bonding.

Christmas at the most iconic hotel in Lake Como

The sky over Lake Como is as silvery as a turtle dove, the surrounding mountains are disguised in fog, and the emerald lawns of the Villa d’Este glisten in the light rain. Welcome to winter, far removed from the linen-clad, Panama-hatted, Persol-shaded playtimes that have made this place dolce vita ground zero for the past […]

Ananda Resort

If you feel permanently exhausted, you’re not alone. An estimated 45 per cent of us suffer from a chronic lack of sleep and know all too well how profoundly it affects our well-being. I haven’t slept well since before the anxiety-inducing disruption of the pandemic, and even though life is back to normal, my circadian […]

The Other House South Kensington gets personal

Mash-ups of the seemingly incongruent have occasionally resulted in miraculous, delightful and otherwise unanticipated combinations. Country-rock music, salted caramels, the iPod-plus-the-mobile-phone: they combine the best of the two and eliminate the rest. Imagine, then, what accommodation away from home would be if you dream of the convenience and facilities of hotels, the regularity and security […]

An Alpine experience like […]

The heart of the Portuguese Riviera

Historically a fishing village, Cascais became the epitome of chic when the Portuguese royal family started to holiday here at the end of the 19th century. Other European royals, such as Britain’s own King Edward VIII, favoured it too. Where the royals go, the upper classes follow, and soon the stretch of coastline west of […]
