Vineyards as far as the eye can see, long lunches, truffle hunting and a spa hidden among the rolling hills of Piedmont 🍷

Set within a restored 19th-century farmhouse in Fontanafredda’s historic storytelling village, this peaceful wine retreat is all about slowing down. Expect panoramic vineyard views, contemporary rooms framed by huge windows, a heated indoor-outdoor pool, Michelin-starred dining nearby and plenty of Barolo tasting in between.

Cordoba’s medieval Golden Age comes to life at this quietly extraordinary hideaway, set just behind the Mezquita on a leafy square in the old Jewish quarter. Expect airy suites with exposed stone walls and oak floors, a pebbled courtyard beneath historic arches, and the sort of calm that feels worlds away from the city outside.

Come for long, wandering days through the Juderia, late dinners nearby and nights spent sleeping beside one of Andalucia’s greatest monuments.

Tucked away in a remote corner of Pembrokeshire, this cluster of restored stone cottages feels wonderfully off-grid. Think exposed beams, velvet sofas, private terraces overlooking wildflower gardens and woodland walks leading straight to secluded Ceibwr Cove. Days are for coast-path hikes, sea swims and spotting puffins; evenings end in the hot tub, sauna and beside a crackling fire.

Set above the fishing village of Agia Galini on Crete’s quieter south coast, this adults-only hideaway is made for slow, sun-drenched days by the sea.

Whitewashed studios spill down the hillside towards the ocean, each with shaded terraces and rooftop views across the bay. There’s a lovely shared pool, an honesty bar for sundowners, and tavernas down in the harbour for long dinners after dark.

Ideal for couples looking to swap busy resorts for something calmer, simpler and beautifully low-key.

Hidden above Copenhagen’s main shopping street, these design-led apartments feel more like the private home of a well-connected collector than a city stay.

Contemporary art, iconic Danish furniture and carefully curated interiors give each space its own personality, but there’s warmth here too: soft textures, calming colours and generous living spaces designed to be lived in, not just admired.

A stylish base for gallery-hopping, harbour swims, long lunches and seeing the city.

Set among olive groves above the still waters of the Pagasitic Gulf, this laidback family villa is all about slow days by the sea and long dinners overlooking the view.

Inside, expect shelves of books, well-loved antiques and generous living spaces made for families and friends travelling together. But it’s the wide shaded balcony out front that steals the show, with mesmerising sea views stretching towards the mountains beyond.

A wonderfully peaceful base for swimming, snorkelling, market mornings and exploring Pelion’s sleepy coastal villages.

Tucked beside the Dijver canal in Bruges’ medieval centre, this beautifully restored townhouse feels quietly removed from the crowds, despite being moments from the city’s galleries, cafés and cobbled streets.

Original beams and stripped-back floors meet thoughtful contemporary design, while the enclosed garden brings an unexpected sense of calm to the heart of the city. Breakfasts overlooking the conservatory garden are reason enough to stay.

Once a sleepy fishing village, Colònia de Sant Jordi is now one of Mallorca’s most relaxed coastal bases, with Es Trenc’s white sands and turquoise waters just a short drive away.

Right on the waterfront, this hotel leans into its sea-facing setting. Rooms are calm and contemporary, with soft tones and balconies that catch the light, while upstairs, the rooftop terrace is the real draw: a small pool, open skies and uninterrupted views across the harbour.

Days drift easily between beach-hopping, boat trips to Cabrera and slow evenings on the promenade, before heading up for sundowners above the sea.

Hide away in a 150-year-old stone house in the Mirna Valley, where vineyards roll towards the Adriatic and Groznjan’s artists’ enclave sits just up the road.

Restored from a ruin, the house keeps its original character with exposed stone, timber beams and shuttered windows, softened by linen, four-poster beds and a cosy kitchen built for slow evenings by the fire. Outside, a saltwater pool and candlelit pool house look out over fig trees, olive groves and vines.

A quiet, characterful base for exploring hilltop towns, truffle country and the coast beyond.
