Fabulous Milan! Fantastic shopping (which of course I had to sample!), fashion central (we had a private fashion show at atelier Sangalli), arts (home to the famous La Scala Theater and Da Vinci’s Last Supper painting) and a wonderful selection of luxury and boutique hotels. A great location to start or end an Italian holiday and could combine well with the Lake District, Cinque Terre, skiing in the Italian Alps and more.

A short one night stop in the Bologna, a beautiful medieval city known for its towers (one leaning more than Pisa), cuisine (home to the Bolognese sauce which we got to enjoy!) and more. Stayed at the lovely Grand Hotel Majestic, where our clients receive exclusive Virtuoso amenities and certainly worth a stop and combine with Modena (balsamic vinegar) and Parma (ham & Parmesan cheese). This region is Emilia-Romagna is a food lovers paradise! On to Milan…

Sad to leave Venice! What a fabulous city. Great shopping, art, architecture, hotels many where our clients receive exclusive amenities and VIP status. A great destination for 3 nights or even more.

What an arrival into Venice by private water taxi to one of the best hotels, The Gritti Palace, where our clients get VIP status and exclusive amenities as our Virtuoso guests.

More to come…

What a great trip on the Rocky Mountaineer, yesterday Denver to Glenwood Springs, crossing to Continental Divide. Amazing mountains, beautiful Colorado River and incredible history of the engineering feat of building the railroad including Moffat Tunnel, a 6 mile tunnel hand blasted through the mountain. Today on to Moab!

Our last few days in Eze, a stunning medieval hilltop village in the south of France, between Monaco and Nice overlooking the Mediterranean. A brilliant way to end the vacation staying at the very top of the village in Château Eza, a 5 star Virtuoso and SLH WinthIN property through which my clients receive exclusive amenities.

22/06/2023

When you have to work when travelling but the view makes up for it at Château Eza!

Loving the Gorges du Verdon, so impressive and could compete with the Grand Canyon in every way. Hiked 4 miles, paddle boated into the gorge and swam in the very refreshing 🥶 lake. The stunning and unique feature is the bright blue waters coming from glacial minerals, just stunning and well worth a stop!!!

19/06/2023

A wonderful day at Ville La Coste! WOW, what a property, luxury accommodation, vineyard & winery, 5 restaurants (we ate at their Italian restaurant, Vanina, one of the best meals I have ever had), art & architecture (and I mean it, artists come and create installations and architecturally significant structures on this property which we spent 2 hours exploring on their Art Walk alone let alone their other exhibition spaces and art on property), luxury spa (a wellness retreat here in collaboration with is coming soon) and they are building a wine school! 25 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and all that Provence has to offer. What’s not to love! Can’t recommend this property enough! .

Great way to end a very busy trip at one of the most incredible resorts I’ve ever been to - Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort in St Lucia. Just stunning, a perfect oasis between the iconic volcanic spires of Gros Piton and Petit Piton. Something to offer every client whether a romantic retreat or a multigenerational or family holiday.

Loved St. Bart’s! Just beautiful, with a wonderful selection of hotels whether for a family, honeymooners or friends there are so many to choose from! Fantastic shopping as well, it is my new favorite place in the Caribbean.
