☃️ ❄️ Traded snow and cold for palm trees and surf 🌴 🏄🏼‍♀️

🤙

09/02/2025

🔥Just back from Wildflower Farms, and I am now fully “in pursuit of the wild”… or at least the kind of wild that involves crackling fires, next-level food, and the dreamiest spa. This place in winter is pure cozy-chic perfection. If you go (and you absolutely should), don’t miss:

✨ Sound bathing with Lindsay—I walked in a skeptic, walked out transcendent. Am now obsessed.

🍸 Mixology with Juan, a wizard who not only makes the meanest cocktail this side of the Hudson but also remembers everyone’s name like some kind of hospitality sorcerer.

💆‍♀️ Thistle spa—also known as nirvana wrapped in a plush robe.

🍽️ The food. Divine. No further commentary needed.

🎨 Flower-pressed pottery class—because nothing says “embracing the wild” like getting your hands dirty and making something beautiful.

😍 Thank you and the most fab time! What a wonderful group of ladies. I’m already dreaming of going back!

🎨 Collegio alla Querce 🎨

Get ready to step into history at this new Auberge Resorts Collection hotel, opening March 2nd, 2025.

🏛️ Originally founded in the 16th century, this storied estate has evolved over centuries—first as a prestigious boarding school, and now, as a stunning retreat that bridges its noble past with modern sophistication

🏞️ What Makes It Special? Perched on a serene hilltop with panoramic views of Florence’s iconic Duomo and the rolling Tuscan hills, the hotel offers an immersive connection to history. With just 83 bespoke rooms, a restored chapel, an original theater, and sprawling gardens, Collegio alla Querce feels like a private slice of Florentine aristocracy. Two exceptional restaurants and a chic bar in the former principal’s office add a touch of whimsy to its grandeur.

🌳 The Historical Backdrop This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a living time capsule.

Over the years, it hosted luminaries and noble families, its halls echoing with creativity and thought.

🎭 Unique Tidbit Here’s a fun detail: the restored theater was once the scene of extravagant student productions. Today, it’s a cultural centerpiece where guests can enjoy intimate performances, lectures, or private events—adding a layer of theatrical drama to your stay.
