Journeys
Road
Self-driven or with a driver — journeys where the way there is the best part.
Some landscapes only open up with your own car: short legs, unannounced stops, a lunch that runs longer than planned.
We place the houses so that rarely more than three hours lie between them. The rest we leave to the day.
Val d'Orcia, Chianti, Maremma
Tuscany by Car
Short drives, long lunches — the landscape sets the timetable.
Duration: Ten to fourteen days
Seville, Ronda, Sierra de Grazalema, Cádiz
Andalusia by Road
White villages, olive slopes and cities that wake in the evening.
Duration: Nine to twelve days.
Cape Town, Winelands, Garden Route, Kruger
South Africa Self-Drive
Africa's most accessible country — and the one with the most variety per kilometre.
Duration: Fourteen to eighteen days.
South, East, North, Snæfellsnes
Iceland, the Ring Road
A country that shows four landscapes in a day and explains none of them.
Duration: Ten to fourteen days for the full ring; eight for south and west alone.
San Francisco, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles
The California Coast
Highway 1, driven in the direction that keeps the ocean on your side.
Duration: Ten to twelve days; under eight
Perthshire, Speyside, Wester Ross, Skye
The Scottish Highlands
Single-track roads, passing places and light that changes by the hour.
Duration: Ten to fourteen days; combines well with two nights on the Royal Scotsman.
