Recently walked, tasted, and stayed in.
A rotating shortlist of places we've personally returned from in the last year.
Slow mornings, steep stairs
A quieter alternative to Positano, ten minutes down the coast, with a terrace that catches the sunset from every table.
Ryokans over chain hotels
Hiking days in the Japanese Alps, city days in Kyoto, and a route between them we've walked ourselves, twice.
A spa day, geologically speaking
Silica-rich thermal waters, private lagoon access before the crowds arrive, and a retreat built entirely around doing nothing at all.
