Casa Newton is a Tuscan gem combining mid-century design and luscious gardens to create an idyllic environment. This historic villa, located on the 150-hectare Fabbrica Pienza estate, has been transformed into a new high-end boutique hotel. From rows of vines to olive groves, Casa Newton's backyard offers you endless space to walk around and explore. The 11 rooms and suites each vaunt their inimitable style, many with inspiring views over the UNESCO Val d’Orcia countryside.
There is a specific kind of golden light that only seems to exist in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It’s the light that lured Matisse, Chagall, and Picasso away from the coast and up into these fortified walls. While the village has long been a pilgrimage site for art history, 2026 sees it entering a new era of "quiet luxury." Between the high-concept minimalism of Fondation CAB and the legendary, creaking floorboards of La Colombe d’Or, Saint-Paul remains the ultimate retreat for those who prefer their Riviera experience with a side of intellectual depth and Provencal soul.
After five years of meticulous transformation, the private Île de Bendor is preparing for its grand reveal. This May, the legendary "miniature world" of Paul Ricard returns as a Zannier Hotels masterpiece—redefining the French Riviera with a blend of 1960s glamour and holistic slow-living.
While the rest of the Mediterranean chases the new and the loud, Forte dei Marmi remains a steadfast sanctuary for the "Old Guard." Nestled between the jagged marble peaks of the Apuan Alps and the golden expanse of the Tyrrhenian coast, this Tuscan enclave has spent decades perfecting the art of the discreet summer.
