A countryside hotel just outside Noto, surrounded by citrus, olive and almond trees. This is a lovely option for a slower Sicily trip where you want time at the hotel as well as days exploring Noto, Modica, Ragusa and the coast. Think breakfast outdo...
Country House Villadorata, Noto
A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Noto, Sicily, and a great choice for a long weekend or stop on a south-eastern Sicily road trip. The central location is a major plus: Noto’s Baroque streets, cafés and restaurants are right outside, so you ...
Q92 NOTO HOTEL, Sicily
For the trips best explored on four wheels. Europcar is our go-to for hiring a car across Europe, whether we’re heading between vineyard towns, along the coast or somewhere a little further off the usual route.

Le Case dei Conti Mirafiore is set within the historic Fontanafredda estate. There are only 14 rooms, and staying here puts you directly among the vineyards rather than in a larger town. Alba is around eight kilometres away, so it also works well if ...
Villaggio Narrante - Le Case dei Conti Mirafiore, Serralunga d'Alba
If wine is your priority, we’d look at Arborina Relais in La Morra. It sits among the vineyards and gives you a particularly good base for exploring Barolo and the surrounding wine villages, with a spa to come back to afterwards.
Arborina Relais, La Morra
Make the hotel part of the trip, not just a pitstop. Casa di Langa sits among the vineyards in Cerretto Langhe, with a spa, restaurant and views across the surrounding countryside. It gives you the country-hotel version of Piedmont we have in mind he...
Casa di Langa, Cerretto Langhe
For a slightly grander stay in Beaune. It’s just outside the historic centre opposite the ramparts, with a spa and a restaurant worth factoring into the trip. A good choice when you want the hotel to feel like part of the Burgundy weekend.
CÈDRE BEAUNE, A BEAUVALLON HOTEL - Updated 2026 Reviews
A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Beaune, combining the character of a historic townhouse with more contemporary interiors. Its central location puts the restaurants, wine bars and sights of the old town on your doorstep, making it a particu...
Maison 1896, Beaune
Moments from Lake Bohinj, with mountain views, a wellness area and a restaurant that draws heavily on ingredients from the surrounding region.
Hotel Bohinj, Bohinj
To truly indulge, look at Chalet Sofija near Bled. It has only a handful of suites, mountain views, a spa and a restaurant, and Condé Nast Traveler singled it out in its Best Places to Go in 2026.
Chalet Sofija, Gozd Martuljek
This stunning Chania hotel has the best of both worlds. It sits right on the coast just outside the city, with bungalows and villas leading down towards the sea, so you can spend most of the day at the hotel and still go into the old town for dinner.
Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete
Built into the hillside near Kissamos, it looks across the surrounding landscape and sea and puts you in a good position for exploring the west. A true indulgence!

A beautiful five-star boutique hotel set inside a historic Venetian mansion on Chania’s old harbour. With just nine rooms and suites, it feels intimate without sacrificing the details you want from a luxury stay, and the waterfront restaurants and wi...
Domus Renier Boutique Hotel, Chania Town
Stay here if the Guggenheim is a big part of your trip. It’s directly opposite the museum, and some rooms and the rooftop terrace look straight across to Frank Gehry’s building. It also means you can be at the museum in minutes rather than building y...
The Artist Grand Hotel of Art, Bilbao (updated prices 2026)
Tayko is the Bilbao hotel we’d choose if food and the old town are higher up your list. It’s a smaller hotel in a converted historic building beside Casco Viejo, and Michelin-starred Ola by Martín Berasategui is downstairs. You’re also well placed fo...
Hotel Tayko Bilbao, Bilbao
A restored early-20th-century palace overlooking the Bay of Biscay, just outside Bilbao. There’s an infinity pool facing the sea, beautiful gardens and a spa, with Ereaga Beach just below the hotel. One for turning a Bilbao weekend into a proper esca...
Palacio Arriluce Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World
I’d save this for a Tribeca-based trip when I want downtown restaurants, SoHo and the West Village within easy reach. It also works well for a slower fall itinerary because there is enough at the hotel itself to make coming back early feel like part ...
The Greenwich Hotel, New York
I’d choose this when the NYC fall trip is more about downtown evenings, restaurants and wandering than staying close to the major Midtown sights. The location makes it easy to keep several plans within the same part of the city instead of constantly ...
The Bowery Hotel, New York
Save this for a fall New York SoHo-centred trip when the hotel itself is part of the appeal. It works especially well if you want galleries, shopping and downtown restaurants nearby, with somewhere beautiful to come back to between plans.
Crosby Street Hotel, New York
I’d save this for a Frieze trip where you want the fair to sit inside a wider Marylebone weekend. You are close to Regent’s Park while Bond Street and the West End are still easy to fold into lunch, gallery and dinner plans.
The Marylebone Hotel, London
I’d choose this when you want Frieze, Regent Street, Soho and Mayfair to sit inside the same weekend. The location works especially well if you already have dinners or other plans in the West End.
The Langham London, London
