Looking for a family villa in Corsica that is perfect for a September getaway?

Casa Julia is a beautiful contemporary villa tucked in its own private pine forest near Ste Lucie de Porto Vecchio, yet still walking distance from the village bakery, supermarkets and a handy pizza place for easy evenings in. September here means warm seas, softer light and quieter beaches, ideal if you prefer a more relaxed vibe.

At a glance:
• Sleeps 6 in 3 bright, modern bedrooms
• 3 bathrooms, air conditioning and free WiFi
• Private heated saltwater swimming pool
• Stylish open‑plan living with huge picture windows to the terrace
• Walking distance to Ste Lucie de Porto Vecchio village
• Around 5 minutes’ drive to Pinarello’s sandy beaches, shops and restaurants

Days can be as relaxed or active as you like: drift between the pool and Pinarello’s quieter coves, try gentle watersports, discover nearby beaches such as Fautea and Tarcu, or head inland for rock pools, canyoning, mountain biking and forest adventure courses.

If you love the idea of a design‑led villa, space for everyone and easy access to both beaches and countryside, Casa Julia is a fantastic option for late summer. Get in touch and I will be happy to chat September dates, travel options and similar villas in this beautiful part of Corsica.

Looking for a relaxing villa break in September?

How about this gorgeous villa on the tiny Ionian island of Paxos. Barely 8 miles from tip to toe and only accessible by boat, Paxos has retained all of its old‑world Grecian charm.

This welcoming villa on the peaceful west coast sleeps up to six guests:

1 double bedroom
1 twin bedroom
1 smaller twin bedroom that is ideal for children

You will have your own private pool, an inviting outdoor dining area and a light, open‑plan living and dining space that feels like a true home‑from‑home.

I would recommend hiring a car so you can easily explore the island. The pretty harbour villages of Lakka, Loggos and Gaios are all around a 10‑minute drive away, perfect for tavernas, sunset drinks and boat trips.

Prefer to stay close to home? In just a 20‑minute walk you can be in the village of Magazia, where you will find several tavernas, cafés, a bakery and a small supermarket. Everything you need is close by for a truly special Paxos escape.

St Nicolas Bay Hotel, Agios Nikolais, Crete

Four beautiful days at St Nicolas Bay in Crete and I am completely in love with this hotel.

Despite being around 85% full, it felt so peaceful. The resort is so spread out, with just 137 rooms and 8 villas, that it never felt crowded and there was never any problem finding a lounger to relax on.

There is a stunning main infinity pool overlooking Mirabello Bay, with views across to nearby Agios Nikolaos, plus a smaller, quieter pool with its own bar for when you really want to switch off. Many of the suites and villas, including mine, also have their own private pool for that extra level of luxury and privacy.

During my stay I was able to experience a blissful spa treatment, a calming yoga class, and a wonderful afternoon with the chef learning about traditional Greek dishes and even helping to roll stuffed vine leaves. These little touches really bring the destination to life.

A special mention to Alex, the manager, who made us – and every guest – feel genuinely welcomed and relaxed from the moment we arrived.

If you would like to know whether St Nicolas Bay would suit your next escape to Crete, I would love to share more from my stay and help you plan something special.

Last week while I was in Mykonos I visited the gorgeous Grecotel Blu, located on Psarou Beach, around 6 km from Mykonos Town. The 103‑room hotel (also 10 villas and houses) feels stylish yet intimate, and every member of staff I met was kind and attentive. The hotel is available on a B&B basis or half board and features a gorgeous spa and gym.

I was also shown the Grand Blu Suite with its all whitewashed decor, ample space, chic accessories (including a radio and coffee maker) and its own private pool facing the sea. It is such a gorgeous option if you love your own space and those uninterrupted views.

I then spent the afternoon on the comfiest sun lounger, gazing at the crystal‑clear water and watching the superyachts drift by. Even my plastic beach wine glass felt elevated! I hope one day to be back.

Thanks so much lizzantidis

Just back from the most gorgeous few days in Mykonos. We stayed in Ornos, which has beautiful beaches, stylish hotels and some lovely little restaurants, plus it is so easy to hop on the bus into Mykonos Town.

One day we took a boat trip that stopped at some of the island’s best beaches: Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari and Elia. We had a delicious long lunch in Elia and somehow managed to miss the last boat back to Ornos… but we handled it like troopers and turned it into part of the adventure!

Already dreaming of the next trip back.

WOW WOW!!

Gloriously positioned on the enchanting Kommeno Peninsula, hotel of the week: Grecotel Eva Palace, Corfu feels like a world of its own, yet it is just moments from the charm and buzz of Corfu Town.

This elegant 5* resort enjoys a pretty sandy-and-pebble beach with crystal-clear waters, perfect for those long, sun-drenched days that Greek holidays are made for.

It is also a fantastic choice for families:

• Kids under 12 stay for free on selected offers
• So much water fun with a large seawater pool, sandy beach and a nearby aquapark
• Endless kids’ activities and clubs to keep little ones happy from morning till night

If you would love a Corfu escape that blends grown-up glamour with brilliant family facilities, message me and I will put together a tailored quote with flights and private transfers to suit you.

Sun‑soaked Puglian days are calling.

Tenuta Fonte is a gleaming white, cube‑style villa surrounded by ancient olive trees: stylish inside, laid‑back and luxurious outside. It is perfect for two families or a group of friends, with plenty of space to lounge, cook and dine al fresco in complete privacy.

You are just a short drive from whitewashed Ostuni, the warm Adriatic at Torre Canne and the chic beach clubs around Capitolo, so it is easy to mix poolside relaxation with seaside days and evenings out.

If you can see yourself here in summer 2026 or 2027, message me to start planning.

Check out this log cabin, aptly named The Cabin, set in 65 acres of ancient woodland in West Sussex. Hidden along a private footpath, it feels wonderfully off‑grid yet is only a short drive from the charming village of Billingshurst.

Hand‑crafted from green oak, it is a cosy sanctuary for two: a light, open‑plan living space, fully equipped little kitchen, luxurious king‑size bed and a snug mezzanine for reading or board games. Outside, you have your own private hot tub beneath the trees, plus a fire pit for marshmallows, stargazing and late‑night chats.

With barely any mobile signal and just “pocket” Wi‑Fi, it is all about slowing down, switching off and soaking up the peace and quiet.

If this hidden woodland bolthole has you dreaming of your own UK escape, message me and I’ll help you find the perfect cabin or countryside hideaway for your next break.
