A Visit to Girona

September 12, 2017September 16, 2017Leave a comment

Whilst we were staying in Catalonia we decided to visit the medieval quarter (the Barri Vell) of Girona. Famous for it's brightly painted houses overhanging the River Onyar, it is a city quite different to any other we've been to. We popped over one of the eleven bridges and arrived at the Basilica de Saint … Continue reading A Visit to Girona

Catalonian Country Life

August 19, 2017August 20, 20172 Comments

I had never been North of Barcelona before and I was/still am stunned at how beautiful it is. The Costa Brava has had a bad reputation in the U.K. in the past so I was bowled over by it's richness in history, culture and natural beauty. We stayed just East of Girona in the stunning … Continue reading Catalonian Country Life

Eze and Cap Ferrat

July 11, 2017July 11, 2017Leave a comment

The medieval village of Eze is a must-see if you are visiting the Côte d'Azur and love historical buildings. Located between Nice and Monaco it is an absolute jewel overlooking the Mediterranean. Like most of the little villages on the French Riviera this is a tourist hotspot, so try and visit off-season or early morning/early … Continue reading Eze and Cap Ferrat

The Sunny Côte d’Azur

June 24, 2017June 24, 20171 Comment

Having spent a lot of childhood holidays in the South of France it was wonderful to be able to take my own children there.We flew into Nice but as we were only staying a short time decided to explore some of the places we hadn't visited previously. As there were 4 of us we decided … Continue reading The Sunny Côte d’Azur

The Ned, London

June 3, 2017June 3, 20171 Comment

As soon as I heard about this collaboration between Soho House and the Sydell Group (owners of the Line and Nomad hotels in the States) I knew I had to stay here. Not only am I a massive fan of Soho House, I'm also a huge lover of all things Art Deco and this hotel is … Continue reading The Ned, London

The Sites of Rome

May 11, 2017May 11, 2017Leave a comment

If you travel to Rome you definitely need a good 4 or 5 days there as there's a lot of ground to cover. Even though we were with our children we must have walked for miles everyday breaking up the journeys with promises of gelato and other treats. Just make sure you have some decent maps … Continue reading The Sites of Rome

Roaming Around Rome

April 25, 2017April 25, 20171 Comment

This was my second visit to Rome (the first was in the flush of new married life with my husband), so we did approach it with a bit of trepidation seeing as we had two children in tow. We needn't have worried however as Rome has so much to offer and it turned out to be a great … Continue reading Roaming Around Rome

The Wallawwa, Colombo

February 2, 2017Leave a comment

The last leg of our Sri Lankan whirlwind tour was spent in Colombo at The Wallawwa. A mere 15 minutes from Colombo airport this is a great place to start or finish your stay. This is not however, your typical airport hotel. I did not hear or see a plane whilst I was there and this is … Continue reading The Wallawwa, Colombo

Kahanda Kanda, Sri Lanka

January 15, 2017March 11, 2017Leave a comment

I have been extremely fortunate in my life to stay in some amazing places. Kahanda Kanda (KK) is one such place. This holiday really felt like a second honeymoon, partly because we were without the children but mostly because of the hotels we stayed in. KK is around 20 minutes drive from Galle in South Sri … Continue reading Kahanda Kanda, Sri Lanka

If you are in Sri Lanka and thinking about heading South of Colombo, you will no doubt come across the UNESCO heritage site that is the 17th century city of Galle.  Built by the Dutch in 1663 this fortified city is not only a cultural, historical centre but also home to hip hotels, great restaurants, cafes and independent boutiques. … Continue reading Galle Fort, Sri Lanka
