Travel examples
No catalogue, no packages. Each of these journeys existed exactly like this — houses, sequence and price range included. Yours would be planned afresh, to the same standard.
Four nights on the lake in a villa with its own jetty, then five nights on a wine estate south of Siena. A driver between the two, no changes, no rental car.
Five nights on the coast with a private boat for two days, then three nights on Capri once the day visitors have gone.
Paros for the days with wind and tavernas, Folegandros for the stillness afterwards. Private transfers and ferry, timed so no day is lost at a port.
Two nights in Lisbon, three behind the dunes of Comporta, three on an estate in the Alentejo. For travellers who want quiet without giving up dinner.
Three nights in a country house in the south-east, three at the edge of the Tramuntana. Not July, not August — in spring the island belongs to itself.
An overwater villa with a house reef, a domestic flight instead of a long boat transfer, a dive instructor who takes children seriously. We choose the villa by sun position and reef edge, not by category.
City, ryokan, temples and one island for the art. With rail seats booked, an English-speaking guide on three days and restaurant reservations you cannot get from home.
Three nights in the city, three in the winelands, four in a lodge with a private vehicle. Safari last, so the journey ends with the animals rather than the airport.
Guest Voices
Not stars or ratings — but what you remember afterwards.
We had two retreats in mind and booked a third in the end. The reasoning was so clear that the decision became easy.
The advice on which weeks to avoid changed our journey. We went two weeks later — and had the river to ourselves.
We were not persuaded, we were asked questions. That was the difference to everything we had before.
