👀Check out this villa..

The Brief was a villa/house right on a beautiful beach, next to perfect blue seas in the Caribbean….

I found this stunning one in Barbados. I think it’s fair to say it was ticking these boxes!

I was very happy to hear that it completely lived up to expectations ❤️

‘..We had the best time, it was such a chilled, beautiful week and you perfectly executed our request. You could not have fitted the description of what we asked for more. We would definitely return’ ❤️

🍁 Another destination I sell a lot is Canada 🇨🇦

And this week I had the pleasure of putting together a real holiday of a lifetime for a lucky couple celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary 💕

Not only will they stay in Vancouver, Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff but they also get to experience Gold leaf on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer and an Alaska Cruise ❤️

What an incredible way to celebrate their anniversary!!

I think I need to start dropping a few hints to PhiI 🤣… I would absolutely love to go back to the Canadian Rockies xx

😍 I love putting South East Asia itineraries together. Easter is a popular time to go and with the flights fully released, it’s the best time to book.

🇹🇭 I have just booked an amazing holiday for one lucky family to Thailand & Singapore, including two nights at the unique jungle camp where we stayed ourselves a couple of years ago! With only 22 tents down on the lake, it sells out quickly, so I am very happy to get them in there.

❤️ We absolutely loved our time at this special place, such great memories and I know this family will have an incredible time xx

🇸🇨 I’m so excited for one lucky couple who have booked a very special honeymoon this week 💕

🏝️ I’ve planned an incredible island-hopping itinerary for them, staying at my favourite islands and hotels, including a stay at the totally magical Denis Private Island, which I visited in September. Such a paradise and unique place to stay, I’m so happy for them 💕💕

😊 One of the best parts of my work, is hearing all about your holidays when you get back.

It’s been so lovely catching up with those who were away over Easter. Thank you so much to all of you that have taken the time to give me feedback and share photos ❤️

🇺🇸One lucky family did a Californian road trip. It was full of variety, with a fab mix of city, amazing scenery and walks, wildlife and beach time. Taking in San Francisco, Tahoe, Yosemite, Monterey and the coast down to Santa Barbara.

I loved planning this holiday for them, so it’s wonderful to hear what a fab time they had ❤️

They have kindly shared some photos to give a feel for the holiday, Claire x

😊 Whoop whoop, the Easter holidays are nearly upon us 🐣

Lots of you putting your Out of Office messages on!

It’s a very busy time for departures, my most booked destination is Thailand 🇹🇭, but also lots heading off to the Alps ⛷️also to the USA 🇺🇸, Orlando, California and New York, and lastly city breaks, with Madrid, Lisbon & Porto all popular.

I’m working through, and doing my last checks with everyone, but in the meantime wishing everyone a wonderful time, looking forward to hearing all about your travels xx

I’m back in the office today after a fabulous couple of days in Serre Chevalier 🇫🇷⛷️

I stayed at Club Med Serre Chevalier which has had a complete and impressive refurbishment, taking it from a 3 Trident (star) to a 4 Trident.

The location is unbeatable, literally out of the boot room, onto the piste and ski school meeting point. It’s ski-in, ski-out, just by the new gondola (2 years old)

⛷️🏂The ski area is impressive, lots for all abilities and well linked. It’s very pretty and on our two days the slopes were very quiet.

🚎 The transfer from Turin was quick and easy, just under 2 hours!

⛷️As always with Club Med, it’s completely All-inclusive, with lift pass and ski school (morning and afternoon) included as well.

🧀🍇 The food is exceptional with main buffet and speciality restaurant included. There is also a lunchtime buffet (or terrace bbq if you prefer). It also includes an apres ski buffet, with cakes, pancakes, soup, bread and cold meats and cheeses, pre-dinner snacks and nibbles, and an open bar. I found the staff friendly and attentive.

The childcare options are second to none, with excellent kids and teens clubs included, and lots of interconnecting room options.

I would also imagine that this is a fantastic place to spend a summer holiday, with swimming lakes, walking, biking and near by Briancon to explore.

Please do get in touch for any further information, Claire x

First trip of the year and it’s to the Alps 😊⛷️

I arrived in Serre Chevalier yesterday for a quick three day visit to Club Med Serre Chevalier to see its new refurbishment and experience the resort - photos to follow.

It’s a trip down memory lane for me… last time I skied in Serre Chevalier was on a school trip 😂

I hope everyone’s had a good week ☀️

Thank you for your enquiries, I have enjoyed planning some wonderful holidays this week. Finishing the week with a fabulous 3 centre family adventure in Croatia 🇭🇷

They will stay in Cavtat and the car-free island of Lopud with a couple of days in Dubrovnik before heading home. A fantastic mixture of sightseeing, activity and chill out in beautiful Croatia 🇭🇷

Have a lovely weekend
