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.

For those in-the-know, Île de Ré has always been a popular holiday destination. Located off France’s west coast—under two and a half hours from Paris by TGV train and a quick 30-minute drive across the bridge from La Rochelle—this sun-drenched little island serves as the perfect place to slow down and escape the oppressive summer heat of the major French cities.
While the global summer crowds predictably bottleneck into the cliffside pathways of Positano or the tightly packed harbors of the Cinque Terre, a more authentic, slow-paced slice of the Italian Riviera remains hidden in plain sight. Just a short train ride east of Genoa, where the rugged Apennine mountains slide directly into the glassy, deep-blue waters of the Ligurian Sea, lies a trio of contiguous coastal gems: Nervi, Bogliasco, and Sori.
The French Riviera has always known how to cast a spell, but lately, the Côte d’Azur is experiencing a dazzling renaissance. Moving away from the hyper-glossy, heavy-handed luxury of the early 2000s, the coast is returning to what made it legendary in the first place: raw Mediterranean beauty, artistic soul, and long, slow lunches under the pine trees.
When it comes to the Basque Country, Biarritz and San Sebastián are always the first places to come to mind — and while both are standout destinations in their own right, there is far more to discover across this region straddling the French-Spanish border. With its unique culture, cuisine and language, the Basque Country rewards those who dare to venture off the well-trodden tourist trail.
