Weimar is a delightful small and cultural city not only famous as home to Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Nietzsche, but also as the original location of the Staatliches Bauhaus. A century ago, Walter Gropius merged two former art institutions to create the new Bauhaus. Inspired by modernism […]
The dusky pink neoclassical Toulouse Capitole building really is the vibrant heart of the city. Sitting proudly on the Place Du Capitole; a great rectangular square full of outdoor cafe’s which attract locals and visitors alike, the Capitole is a museum in its own right. But it’s a little livelier […]
‘To us, Sundance is and always will be a dream. What you see, smell, taste and feel here is a dream being carefully nurtured. It’s a place of extraordinary beauty devoted to people. What we offer in the form of art and culture, spirit and service is homegrown and available to all’. […]
The journey from Salt Lake City airport to Zermatt Resort & Spa is a particularly memorable one. Despite not having the Swiss Alps, a mountain railway and the Matterhorn there are a good many spectacular sights to cram in en route. Our short 45 minute drive from Salt Lake City […]
For us the biggest selling point of any ski hotel has to be a ‘ski-in ski-out’ location, and when the local area also happens to be one of the largest linked ski regions in the country then we are most definitely sold. We were very excited indeed to visit the […]
Not too long ago a night at an English pub was something to be studiously avoided. Most likely it would mean being consigned to a stuffy room up a back staircase, and a breakfast at a pub table with a whiff of stale beer. Things are now hugely improved with […]
Copenhagen is a place of hugely varied appeal. It is a richly historic city packed with architectural gems with, at its heart, the worlds longest shopping street. Proud to be green there is always open space by parks or water – it is criss-crossed by canals and on the shores […]
Entering the grounds of the is rather like arriving at an imposing Victorian prison. Castellated turrets resembling giant chess pieces guard the entrance and exit of a large cobbled courtyard that lies before a formidable looking redbrick building. Some five stories high and once a rum warehouse the building sits […]
Over the years, Mykonos has become synonymous with the ultimate luxury Greek island experience. It first became a playground for the international jet set back in the 1960s when Aristotle and Jackie Onassis were regular visitors. Since then it has become famous for its VIP shopping, nightclubs, and parties, but […]
Any regular visitor to Bristol will know that the only place to stay is as close as possible to the harbourside. This is the most attractive and vibrant part of town, now largely pedestrianised, where luxury flats sit comfortably alongside converted warehouses and workshops. These house a wide variety of bars, […]
The 1988 cult classic The Big Blue directed by Luc Besson, is regarded as one of the most visually stunning films ever made, mostly due to the natural beauty of Amorgos where much of the filming took place. Re-watching the film recently spurred us in to action – we just had to […]
If only the biggest and best resorts of the French Alps were much closer to Geneva. This is surely a recurring dream for anyone making the tedious haul up busy roads to the big names of the Tarentaise – resorts like Meribel, Val D’Isere and La Plagne. If only there […]
A big kiss from the so-called Hot Lips 👄 plant in Monteverde Costa Rica - one of the most eco diverse places on the planet. Whatever exotic plants you’ve seen in your local garden centre they’re all here in the wild - just twenty times bigger and even more colourful. @sendamonteverde @visit_costarica @monteverdecloudforest #costarica #cloudforest #senda #lips #redlips #kiss #rainforest
Up close and personal with lots of non-furry Costa Rica friends with a great tour on the BOGARIN Trail. Other than sloths and birds we saw a few of the local frogs - this is the red eyed tree frog - opens its red eyes 👀 when disturbed to startle predators so it can hop off!@bogarintrail #bogarin @visit_costarica #bogarin #arenal #arenalvolcano #costarica #rainforest #frogs #redeyedfrog
Lots of great places to go sloth viewing in and around La Fortuna. Lucky enough to get some good shots including this one of a baby 3 toed sloth. They are the world’s slowest mammal with 6 species split between 2 & 3 toed varieties and spend 90% of their time upside down! #lafortuna #sloth #arenal #arenalvolcano #costarica @visit_costarica #rainforest #volcano
Got the zoom lens out for the amazing birds at El Silencio Lodge. Our guide tells us that this is a Green Crowned Brilliant. Keeping fingers crossed for a patch of clear sky on top of Poas Volcano later today... @elsilenciolodge #ElSilencio #poas #poasvolcano #costarica #cloudforest #rainforest #luxurylidge #luxuryhotel #hummingbird
The beautiful El Silencio Lodge & Spa is an eco resort situated on a private 500-acre cloud forest reserve in the Bajos del Toro region. It’s one of the most secluded and special mountain hotels in Costa Rica.
