Some addresses carry centuries of history. Castell

Some addresses carry centuries of history. Castello di Casole carries ten—and today it’s reborn as a Belmond retreat layered in purpose.Once a noble estate, this sanctuary sits on 4,200 acres of rolling Tuscan hills, embraced by vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined lanes surrounding the restored 10th-century castle.Here’s what makes it feel like poetry and legacy:Private villas, each offering space and intimacy.A spa carved into the former wine cellars, where rituals lean into grape and olive by-products.Michelin-worthy menus rooted in the land: The estate grows its own vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers in the Orti del Castello, and Chef Daniele Sera leads a farm-to-table ethos that centers on seasonal purity.Trails that let you wander the estate by bike or foot, discover hidden corners, and listen to nature in stillness.Workshops and immersive experiences: herbalism, eco-printing, truffle hunts, and “Breathe the Forest” walks that help you connect with land and lineage.Guests love exploring medieval villages by day, but often return for sunset on the terrace—a glass of Chianti in hand, hills undulating toward the horizon.Want to wake up inside a Tuscan postcard—where beauty, history, and intention meet?

A mini-moon is all about sneaking in something special: just a few days away to relax, recharge, and celebrate together. Here are three of my current favorites:Charleston, South Carolina: Carriage rides, candlelit dinners in historic mansions, and boutique inns bring charm to South Carolina.San Sebastián, Spain: Couples who love food and the sea will fall hard for San Sebastián. Stroll the promenade along La Concha Bay, join a private pintxos tour led by a local chef, and cap the night with Michelin-star dining. The city has more stars per capita than almost anywhere in the world.Quebec, Canada: Quebec is a timeless option for European-style romance without the jet lag. Soak up French architecture and enjoy the charm of Quebec City’s Old Town.Message me to start planning your mini-moon!....#TravelByHart #Loveyourjourney #LuxuryTravel #VIPTravel #LuxuryTravelAdvisor #MiniMoon #SanSebastian #Quebec #Charleston #HoneymoonIdeas #regenerativetravel #tailormadetravel #travelwithpurpose

What’s the best view of Dubrovnik? Some say from the city walls. I say from your balcony at Villa Dubrovnik.Set on the cliffs, this boutique hideaway is for those who want magic—and discretion. Paddle across the bay to Lokrum Island, book a couples’ spa carved into the rock, or dine at Pjerin, the hotel’s signature restaurant.For a local twist, I love recommending a tasting of Croatia’s Dalmatian wines—a toast to place.Villa Dubrovnik is Green Globe–certified (scoring 93% for compliance), integrating eco practices across its operations to leave as light a footprint as possible.Want to see Croatia differently?

Romantic getaways aren’t rare. But real magic? T

Romantic getaways aren’t rare. But real magic? That’s found at Las Ventanas al Paraíso.A Rosewood resort that has set the standard in Mexico, Las Ventanas offers beachfront suites with private infinity pools, and a tequila & ceviche bar that locals can’t stop raving about.But what makes it extraordinary is its deeper harmony with place.🌵 What makes it feel like a love letter to Baja:🌎 From the start, the resort was sculpted to blend seamlessly with the desert-to-ocean terrain, using local materials, hand-built methods, and design that honors the land.Rosewood Hotels🌎 It is home to one of Cabo’s first Sea Turtle Protection Programs, where beach attendants monitor nesting, guard nests, and help guide hatchlings to the sea.🌎 The grounds use xeriscaping — landscaping of native cacti, succulents, and low-water plants — so the ecosystem lives on its own support.🌎 Its culinary philosophy leans local: organic herb gardens, ingredients from regional growers and fishermen, and “Cocina del Fuego” cooking that leans on wood-fired techniques to bring out pure flavors.🌎 Waste is handled thoughtfully: recycling is in place, organic waste is composted to nourish gardens, and glass is crushed and repurposed.🌎 The spa draws on Baja’s native healing traditions: cactus wraps with nopal, therapies using indigenous flora and organic oils in tune with local wellness heritage.Imagine this: private dinners under the stars, desert horseback rides, and spa rituals that feel like whispers of the land. Every stay includes a dedicated butler and design that feels effortlessly intimate.This is Los Cabos at its most elevated — romance, authenticity, and a deep respect for place all in one.

Green flags to look for when choosing a travel adv

Green flags to look for when choosing a travel advisor: ✅✈️🌍 Expertise that’s current and personal.They know the destination inside out—its seasons, culture, local customs, and what’s actually happening on the ground—so their advice feels relevant, not recycled.🤝 Connections that count.From boutique hotels to local guides, their relationships mean better access, smoother logistics, and experiences most travelers never uncover.🕊️ Proactive care, not just planning.They don’t wait for things to go wrong—they anticipate, advocate, and adjust before you even notice a hiccup.If you want to know what my green flags look like, send me a message. I’ll show you how travel feels when it’s personal, seamless, and designed with heart. 💚....#TravelByHart #loveyourjourney#ConsciousLuxury #LuxuryWithPurpose #TravelAdvisor #LuxuryTravelAdvisor #SmartTravel #DreamTrip #CuratedExperiences #LuxuryGetaway #VIPTravel #TravelThatMatters #LuxuryForGood #HighEndLowImpact #tailormadetravel

Wondering if your children are ready for safari? T

Wondering if your children are ready for safari? They are, with the right plan.Family safaris spark a shared sense of discovery through unforgettable wildlife encounters and cultural immersion. They offer adventure, always balanced with comfort and safety.If you’re traveling with kids, focusing on just one country helps create a relaxed, enjoyable pace. For a broader experience, I can also design multi-country journeys, such as Kenya with Tanzania or South Africa with Botswana.My top tip? Stay at lodges designed for families. Many offer kids’ programs with activities like animal tracking, cooking classes, and cultural storytelling, keeping younger travelers engaged while parents enjoy their own adventures.If you’re ready for life-changing encounters that will shape how your family sees the world, reach out!....#LuxuryTravelAdvisor #FamilySafari #LuxuryTravelPlanner #FamilyTravel #HighEndTravel

Not every cruise ship towers over the horizon. Some glide with sails.Sea Cloud Cruises is as close as it gets to traveling on a private yacht, only with the history and drama of a full-rigged windjammer. Cabins are lined with polished wood, dinners are served alfresco under the stars, and the real thrill is standing on deck as the crew climbs the rigging to unfurl 30 sails by hand.The ships slip into tiny harbors that mega-cruise liners can’t reach: Greek islands with just a few whitewashed streets, tucked-away Caribbean bays where you swim right off the gangway, and European ports that feel like well-kept secrets.For travelers who love the romance of the sea but want it paired with true exclusivity, this is the insider pick.

This isn’t a safari lodge. It’s a conscious safari estate.Here’s why I recommend Cheetah Plains with full confidence: you get the full wild immersion without compromise. Villas with heated private pools and sweeping bush views—yes—but also your own guide and vehicle, so every moment is designed around your journey.The solar-charged, electric Land Cruisers are a revelation: silent, zero-emission vehicles that glide you closer to wildlife without intrusion. (Over 7,000 kg of CO₂ saved each year compared to diesel drives.)🌍 What sets it apart:The entire property runs off-grid on renewable solar power.Smart water systems recycle and preserve this precious resource.Plastic waste is replaced with glass, biodegradable, and refillable alternatives.Ingredients are locally sourced, with wellness and spa rituals drawn from African botanicals.Community partnerships support education and youth development in nearby villages.At day’s end, as the sky turns to fire over Sabi Sand, your chef and sommelier already know your preferences—personalized down to the last sip.This is luxury with purpose—deeply personal, profoundly restorative, and light on the planet.✨ Ready to see the bush differently?

Once a 19th-century fortress, now a guardian of Mo

Once a 19th-century fortress, now a guardian of Montenegro’s wild shoreline—and a quietly radical experiment in regenerative hospitality.Mamula Island has defended the mouth of the Bay of Kotor for over 150 years. Today it lives on as a five-star retreat with just 32 rooms—but every square inch tells a story of renewal.What makes it unforgettable (and responsible):💫 The restoration was done with reverence: heritage walls, original stonework, frescoed chambers—each fragment preserved in collaboration with conservation architects.💫 The design is intentionally light on the land: bespoke furnishings created from sustainable materials, and a greywater recycling system using original cisterns to reduce waste.💫 Drinking water is generated on-site via a desalination plant—no long supply chains hauling water across sea.💫 The culinary philosophy is rooted in place: menus centered on locally grown and harvested ingredients, sea salt and mountain herbs, honoring Montenegro’s flavors.💫 Even the wellness rituals echo the island’s identity: spa treatments drawn from local sea salt, herbal traditions, therapeutic halotherapy, and movement rituals aligned to natural rhythms.💫 Mamula is a founding partner of the Adriatic Green Hub, leading the shift in Montenegro’s luxury hospitality toward sustainability.Inside candlelit vaulted halls, dinners feel elemental. At sunset, the watchtower bar holds court with the most haunting silhouette of sea and sky you’ll ever see. Saltwater pools spill toward UNESCO waters. Private jetties plunge you straight into the Adriatic. The concierge can ferry you to secret coves, or to the ancient streets of Perast and Kotor.You’ll leave knowing you didn’t just visit a hotel—you witnessed a relic reborn, a place where beauty meets responsibility, and nature is honored, not erased.✨ Want to be among the first to experience this alchemy?

Built for an empress. Still fit for royalty.Napoleon III created Hôtel du Palais as a summer escape for Empress Eugénie, and it still feels every bit like a palace by the sea. Located above the Bay of Biscay, it’s the only historic palace hotel on the French Atlantic coast.Insider tip: don’t miss the saltwater pool carved into the cliffs, the Guerlain spa (a favorite even among locals), or a sunset table where the kitchen serves seafood straight from the market. This isn’t the polished Côte d’Azur - it’s Biarritz, the Riviera’s wilder, more glamorous cousin.Ready to see why Europe’s elite have been coming here for over a century?....#FranceTravel #Europe #LuxuryTravel #LuxuryTravelAdvisor #FranceTravel #BelleEpoque

Let’s talk about the places that aren’t on everyone’s list (yet).If you’ve already checked off the usual suspects, these under-the-radar destinations deserve a spot on your travel radar:🌋 The Azores, Portugal – Volcanic lakes, hot springs, and lush hiking trails—Europe’s hidden eco-paradise just five hours from the East Coast.🏜 Namibia – Vast desert landscapes, starry skies, and wildlife safaris that keep conservation front and center.🌴 Mauritius – White-sand beaches and luxe resorts blending French-Creole culture with strong commitments to protecting reefs and marine life.🌊 Bay of Kotor, Montenegro – Medieval villages and fjord-style coastlines, with fewer crowds and more authentic encounters.🇮🇹 Ischia, Italy – Capri’s quieter neighbor, where thermal springs and family-run trattorias make every moment feel authentic.Choosing places like these isn’t just about avoiding the crowds—it’s about experiencing travel that supports local communities and helps ease pressure on overtouristed icons. 🌍✨Curious?

Want fewer crowds, better rates, and a lighter footprint? ✨ Shoulder season is the secret.Traveling just before or after peak times—like early fall in Europe (September–October) or late spring in Africa (May–early June)—means beautiful weather, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed pace.

Not just Paris. Not even close… Scratch beneath

Not just Paris. Not even close…Scratch beneath the surface and you’ll uncover more of France’s layers—each with beauty, flavor, and history worth savoring slowly.✨ In UNESCO-listed Bordeaux, wander elegant riverfronts and pair vintages with Michelin-star meals, while supporting local winemakers who’ve cared for these vines for generations.✨ In Normandy, walk cobbled streets in Bayeux, stand quietly on the D-Day beaches, and time your visit for Mont Saint-Michel’s magical tide. Here, local cider, Camembert, and Calvados aren’t just delicacies—they’re a way of sustaining traditions.✨ In Biarritz, Belle Époque glamour meets Basque culture, where family-run seafood bistros and artisan markets keep the region’s soul thriving.Traveling beyond the obvious not only avoids the crowds—it also helps ease pressure on Paris and uplifts communities that live these traditions every day.From vineyard mornings to salt-air evenings, let France unfold one region at a time....#TravelByHart #loveyourjourney #SustainableLuxury #FranceTravel #EuropeanEscape #Bordeaux #Normandy #Biarritz #LuxuryTravelAdvisor #travelwithpurpose #authentictravel #travelredesigned #offthebeatenpath
