Want the Tuscany you’ve seen in the movies, without a single tour bus in sight? We know exactly where to send you.

Borgo Santo Pietro is a restored 13th-century villa in the Val di Merse, south of Siena, surrounded by 300 acres of organic farmland, gardens, and vineyards. Nearly everything on your plate comes off that land, and the estate even produces its own skincare line, Seed to Skin, used throughout the spa.

Our favorite afternoon here: a short drive to the Abbey of San Galgano, where a real sword in the stone has been embedded in rock for 800 years.

Twelve guest rooms, one working farm, zero crowds. This is the Tuscany clients ask us to find. Reach out, and we’ll plan it.

Lake Como is beautiful. It's also busier than it's ever been. Five lakes we love that still feel like a discovery:

- Lake Garda, Italy: the biggest of the Italian lakes, with lemon groves, medieval towns like Sirmione, and a livelier energy than its famous neighbor.
- Lake Lugano, Switzerland: Italian soul, Swiss polish. Palm trees on the promenade, mountains rising straight out of the water, and Milan just an hour away.
- Lake Lucerne, Switzerland: steamboats, mountain railways, and Belle Époque hotels along the shore.
- Lake Bled, Slovenia: the fairytale one, complete with an island church and a clifftop castle.
- Lake Bohinj, Slovenia: Bled's wilder sibling just 30 minutes away, ringed by the Julian Alps and blissfully free of crowds.

Every one of these pairs beautifully with a bigger itinerary. Tell us which caught your eye and we'll build around it.

Big anniversary? First trip without the kids? A honeymoon worth the 20-hour journey? Our answer is an island that's still flying under the radar: Mauritius.

Off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has long been where Europeans go for their most special beach trips, and One&Only Le Saint Géran is one of the reasons why. The resort occupies its own private point on the island's northeast coast, with a calm lagoon on one side and the open Indian Ocean on the other. That geography means protected swimming, sailing, and paddleboarding in the lagoon.

The service is what clients remember. Butlers with every room category, a kids club that parents genuinely trust, and a level of polish that made this the property that put Mauritius on the luxury map in 1975.

Mauritius pairs beautifully with South Africa. Safari first, beach after. Get in touch to start planning!

Flown recently? Then you’ve felt it. Record passenger volumes, tighter ID requirements, and construction at major hubs have changed the math on getting to your gate. Here’s how we protect our clients from all of it:

We build realistic buffers. Tight connections that worked five years ago don’t work now, especially through the busiest international hubs.

We arrange fast-track and VIP services. Many airports offer expedited security, private escorts, and lounge access that most travelers never hear about. We book them routinely.

We watch your flights. Delays and cancellations get handled while you’re still in the air, not after you’ve landed and joined a rebooking line of 200 people.

And a reminder for U.S. travelers: REAL ID is now required for domestic flights, so check that license before your next trip.

The airport is part of the trip. We plan it like one.

A five-star hotel named The Thief? Yes, and we love telling clients the story behind it.

The hotel stands on Tjuvholmen, “Thief Island,” once the haunt of Oslo’s smugglers and outlaws. Today it’s the city’s most stylish address, part gallery and part hotel, with original works by Andy Warhol and other major artists throughout and the Astrup Fearnley Museum of contemporary art literally next door.

The waterfront location is the other draw. Harbor-view rooms with balconies, a rooftop for summer evenings, and the Oslofjord right outside, where locals take to floating saunas year-round. Cold plunge optional, memorable either way.

Oslo makes a brilliant city stop before Norway’s fjords or a northern lights itinerary. We’ll connect the pieces. Get in touch.

Give us 24 hours in Paris and here’s exactly how we’d spend them:

Morning: coffee and a croissant at a neighborhood café, then the Musée d’Orsay right at opening, before the crowds fill the impressionist galleries.

Midday: lunch in Saint-Germain, then wander the Marais. Boutiques, galleries, and the prettiest squares in the city.

Golden hour: a private boat on the Seine as the light turns and the Eiffel Tower begins to sparkle.

Evening: dinner at a bistro where the menu is handwritten and the waiter argues with you about the wine. In the best way.

Twenty-four hours or a full week, we’ll make every one count. Get in touch to plan Paris.

“Is a Nile cruise actually worth it?” We get this question constantly. Our answer: on the right boat, it might be the best hotel in Egypt. And it moves.

Historia Boutique Nile River Cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, designed around the glamour of 1920s river travel with a fully contemporary interior. Around 40 cabins, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water, a rooftop pool deck, and a spa on board.

The real luxury is the format. You unpack once, and the temples come to you. Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, then Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae, each visited with expert Egyptologist guides while the boat handles every mile in between.

Advisor tip: itineraries run three, four, or seven nights, and the direction you sail changes the pacing. We’ll help you pick the right one. Let’s start planning.

Dreaming of Kyoto but dreading the crowds? Same. This is our answer.

Aman Kyoto occupies a hidden forest garden in the hills of northern Kyoto, assembled decades ago by a textile collector and closed to the public ever since. It's the rarest kind of real estate in this city: total privacy, minutes from the icons.

Why we book it:
• Location without the chaos. The Golden Pavilion is minutes away, yet the property feels like a private national park. No lines, no tour groups, no noise.
• A true onsen. The bathhouse is fed by natural hot springs, something almost impossible to find within Kyoto itself.
• Space, finally. Kyoto hotel rooms are famously tight. These pavilions are among the largest in the city, with forest views from every window.
• The Aman guides. Private access and after-hours temple experiences that guests can't arrange on their own.

Advisor tip: November here is astonishing. The maples turn, and the whole garden glows red and gold.

Kyoto is the trip everyone wants right now. Reach out to start planning!

We plan trips to the Alps, Aspen, and Japan every winter. So it means something when we say one of the world's great winter stays is in Canada.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands directly on the shore of its namesake lake in Banff National Park, facing the Victoria Glacier. No other hotel gets this position, and in winter it becomes something out of a storybook: the lake freezes into a skating rink framed by ice sculptures, horse-drawn sleighs trace the shoreline, and the mountains stay dusted in white for months.

Skiers are spoiled here too. Three resorts are within easy reach, including Lake Louise Ski Resort just minutes away, with some of the most scenic runs in North America and none of the lift lines you'd expect for terrain this good.

Advisor tip: Lakeview rooms are worth every penny, especially in winter when the frozen lake and glacier fill your window. They sell out first, so this is a book-early property. Message us to start planning.

The whole family, one roof, zero hotel hallways. Private villas are how our favorite families do the festive season, and the best ones are booking right now.

A villa solves what hotels can't for multi-generational trips: everyone together under one roof, a private chef instead of restaurant reservations for twelve, space for the grandparents to nap and the kids to run.

Where we're sending families this year: jungle villas in Costa Rica with monkeys in the trees, catered chalets in the Alps with ski-in access, staffed oceanfront estates in Cabo, villa compounds in Hawaii where three generations can spread out, and private safari villas in South Africa with their own guide and vehicle.

Festive villas require the longest lead time of anything we book. The question worth asking at the dinner table this month: where does the whole family want to wake up this holiday season?
