Stepping into a dream along the French Riviera… 🇫🇷✨

While in the South of France, I had the immense pleasure of experiencing two of the Côte d’Azur’s most iconic and enchanting properties—each offering its own unique kind of magic.

At the 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅-𝑯ô𝒕𝒆𝒍 𝒅𝒖 𝑪𝒂𝒑-𝑭𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒕, 𝑨 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝑯𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒍, it felt as if time stood still. This legendary estate perched above the Mediterranean exudes timeless elegance and quiet grandeur. From the sweeping pine-lined drive to the iconic Club Dauphin pool overlooking the sea, every detail whispers old-world glamour. Morning espresso on the terrace, followed by a walk through the manicured gardens and a swim with panoramic views—it was a Riviera reverie I’ll never forget.

Then came 𝑪𝒉â𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒖 𝑬𝒛𝒂, a jewel tucked high into the cliffs of Èze. This 400-year-old château, with its stone walls and cascading views over the sparkling coastline, is pure storybook romance. Intimate and utterly breathtaking, it’s the kind of place where you sip champagne under ivy-covered archways and dine on Provençal cuisine as the sun sets over the Mediterranean. The charm is real, the views surreal.

Both places are more than hotels—they’re experiences that stay with you.

If the South of France is on your list, these two escapes are pure Riviera perfection. Let me plan the details—you deserve nothing less. ✨🌊🌿

Just returned from the South of France, and the first part of my stay was at the stunning —a true gem nestled in the foothills of Provence. ✨

From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond, and let’s just say… the homemade challah for Shabbat was an unexpected (and unforgettable) touch of gold. 🌿🍞

Whether you’re dreaming of countryside serenity or planning your next escape, Terre Blanche is the kind of place that lingers with you long after you leave.

✈️ Didn’t get to travel this summer? There’s still time to book for fall—Europe’s shoulder season is one of my favorites.

📩 If booked through me, I’ll include exclusive perks and amenities you won’t find online.

Wheels up soon for the South of France, and I can already feel the sunshine and scent of lavender guiding me there! 🌞💐 As much as I adore Paris (and those heavenly pastries), I’m craving the magic that lives off the beaten path.

Here are three hidden gems I can’t wait to explore:

✨ Moustiers-Sainte-Marie – A fairytale cliffside village known for its hand-painted ceramics and twinkling chapel views. It’s pure Provençal perfection.

✨ Collioure – A coastal treasure near the Spanish border with candy-colored houses, sea breeze cafés, and art history roots that inspired Matisse.

✨ Lourmarin – A charming village with a château, bustling Friday market, and that irresistible, slow-sipping café culture.

The journey ahead is filled with golden detours and tucked-away treasures… and I’ll be sharing them all with you. Stay tuned, travel lovers!

It may be June—but I’m already dreaming in pink. 🌸 I’m building out my Bucket List Trips series and at the very top? A once-in-a-lifetime cherry blossom experience in Japan.

This isn’t just about the blooms—this is about 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍. Here’s why this one makes the cut:

🌸 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨, 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐚 – Over 30,000 cherry trees bloom in layers up the mountain—like nature’s own staircase. Few tourists venture this far and that’s exactly the point.

🌸 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐲𝐚 𝐊𝐲𝐨𝐭𝐨 – This riverside ryokan can only be accessed by boat. Imagine floating through petals to your suite. Dreamlike doesn’t even begin to cover it.

🌸 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐦 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐞𝐧𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 – Yes, cherry blossoms under lantern light is a thing. And yes, I’ll time your arrival to the day so you don’t miss peak bloom.

This is the kind of trip that takes precision, insider knowledge, and reservations that open months in advance—and that’s where I come in. Let’s make your cherry blossom dream happen. It’s already on my list 🌸

As the leaves start to turn (planning ahead!), it’s the perfect time to plan your fall escape—and you know I’ve already done the legwork 🍁✈️ From cozy countryside retreats to under-the-radar European gems, I’ve mapped out every detail so all you have to do is pack.

🍂 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐨, 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲 – Stay at 𝘐𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘰, a sleek lakeside sanctuary where fall colors reflect on the water like a painting. Ask me about the private boat wine tastings (yes, they’re real).

🍂 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬, 𝐔𝐊 – Nest into 𝘛𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘦, an English countryside estate with Michelin dining and farm-to-table everything. The morning fog, gardens, and slow pace? Fall magic.

🍂 𝐇𝐮𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲, 𝐍𝐘 – Check into 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘍𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘈𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘵. Think luxe cabins, scenic hikes, and s’mores under the stars. Close enough to home but feels worlds away.

I go beyond booking—I’ll find the restaurant that can handle your gluten allergy, the driver who knows the backroads, and the best day to avoid the crowds. Every trip is handpicked, like the season’s best apples 🍎

✈️ Barcelona, Wrapped in a Bow — Odellia Style 🇪🇸

If you’re dreaming of Gaudí, Gothic grandeur, and unforgettable culinary gems, Barcelona needs to be on your radar. I have wandered this magical Mediterranean city, and let’s just say — it delivered. From whimsical mosaics to mouthwatering tapas, this city dances between the surreal and the soulful.

✨ Where to Stay
Luxury is in the details, and Barcelona offers no shortage of exceptional stays. My top three picks:
✔️ Hotel Arts Barcelona – sleek, modern, and perched right on the beach. Ocean views with Michelin-starred dining? Yes, please.
✔️ Majestic Hotel & Spa – a five-star classic along Passeig de Gràcia, steps from Gaudí’s Casa Batlló. It’s elegance with a capital E.
✔️ El Palace Barcelona – think 1920s opulence meets royal service. The rooftop garden is a secret sanctuary above the city.

🍷 Hidden Gems I Adore
Want something off-the-radar? Let me book you a private tasting at La Bouqueria Market with a local chef who whisks you from jamón to cava in one unforgettable bite.
And for art lovers: skip the crowds and head underground to MUHBA (Museu d’Història de Barcelona) — where you’ll literally walk through Roman ruins hidden beneath the city.

⛰️ Day Trip, Odellia-Style
I always recommend a day escape to Montserrat, where the mountain views and sacred monastery take your breath away. Add a helicopter transfer for that extra sparkle — I’ll make it happen.

Barcelona is more than just a destination — it’s a mood, a masterpiece, a moveable feast. Let me plan your stay and, of course, wrap it all up in a bow 💙
