Arizona & Utah | USA | Classic American Road trip |
Arizona's Painted Desert lives up to its name, but it's only one small part of an ochre colored stretch of the Southwest—one of our favorite drives in the entire country. On a cross-country trip, there's a leisurely way from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon's South Rim that passes by the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon, Navajo Nation, and (finally) the Painted Desert before finishing at the GC. Give yourself at least a week or two and follow I-15 away from the neon and toward all the pinks, purples, and dusty reds of Arizona and Utah. Spend a few days at Amangiri, the remote hideaway tucked within the luminous canyons of the American Southwest. Located in a protected valley with sweeping views, the resort offers both adrenaline-fuelled adventure and a peaceful retreat.

The Island of Andros | Greece, Cyclades | 'Onar' (Dream)

Andros is the northest island and second in size after Naxos of the Cycladic complex – 380 sq. km. and 177 km. of coastline. Four rivers traverse it and is one of few islands where the Cycladic landscape is combined with lush greenery. The green-clad gullies, the picturesque small villages, the crystal waters, the museums, the monasteries, the local recipes meet at the island of Andros, offering guests several choices to enjoy the style of holidays they prefer, in a place full of surprises.
At the wetlands of Ahla in Andros, nature has created a place of unique beauty and biodiversity.

Contact Trip-Stylist to discover the unique hideaway ONAR; a hospitable settlement in absolute harmony with nature.

ONAR’S philosophy is expressed through each and every activity. The cottages were built exclusively by making use of natural local materials. The owners at Onar Andros have carefully observed the soil and created a farm of organic cultivation in order to savor the earth's abundance in fruits, vegetables and grains, whilst cultivating some rare seeds. They constantly seek ways to improve their concept by developing alternative forms of energy and exploring other sustainable ecological activities.

ONAR in Greek means “dream” and you are invited to share this dream and taste an alternative way of living in true harmony with nature.

Puglia | Italy | A day at Masseria Potenti
Down in the heel of Italy, where life is quieter and moves at a more more laid-back pace than many other parts of the country, you'll enter a world of whimsical towns, lush vineyards and beautiful seaside villages with sandy beaches; Puglia is still fairly undiscovered and well worth a visit! Indulge yourself in barefoot luxury created by Milan-based pugliesi Paolo Tommasino and Maria Grazia Di Lauro, this masseria nails sophistic countryside chic like no other. Di Lauro's taste and eye for detail come through in the rustic-modern interiors, and the service is genuine and warm, creating a wonderful, soulful energy. Close to some of Puglia's best beaches, Masseria Potenti is just one of a handful of places to stay in the Manduria area, a seaside frontier dotted with nature reserves and Primitivo vineyards (like the hotel's own). Alongside wine, healthy food is a big part of any stay here: enjoy garden-fresh regional dishes - like the delicious aubergine polpette - courtesy of a talented local mother-and-daughter team, who also rustle up sumptuous breakfast feasts, much of it based on the hotel's own produce.

Uzès & Blauzac | Discover the secret side of the South of France

Uzès is in the middle of Le Gard, in the south of France; not the familiar Midi, rather the more inland, lesser known side of the Rhône. Out here you will find something more authentic than the overrated beaches of the French Riviera. The French government designated Uzès a historic town and a ville d'art, and invested a lot in its restoration. The Eurostar routes pass by less than an hour's drive away - at Avignon and Montpellier - despite the short journey from those two main hubs, artsy Uzès has managed to stay off the radar of most tourists. nearby Blauzac is an elegant little village just south of Uzès, where the annual Jazz festival will take place this year between June 30th and July 2nd. Tickets on sale via http://soireesdeblauzac.com/

Stay at La Maison d'Uzès where nothing is too much trouble for the enthusiastic staff. Each room in the 17th-century building is different. Enjoy exquisite cuisine at The Table d’Uzès, the hotel restaurant, which holds one star in the Michelin Guide. The restaurant food is a true delight. Situated in the Languedoc, the Table d’Uzès, naturally focuses on flavors from the South of France.The chef selects the finest products, and most beautiful fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes, courgettes, beans, and aubergines ripen slowly in the warm sunshine in this part of the world. Regional cuisine combines vibrant colors and flavors, enhancing them further with aromatic herbs. Pastries are made with sun-kissed fruit: peaches, apricots, and nectarines. The freshness and sweetness are in keeping with the hotel’s spirit.

Another great choice is chambre d'hote L'Albiousse - Uzès. This small B&B occupies a lovely 16th-century house known in this part of France as an hôtel. The bedrooms are decorated with extraordinary good taste.
