Back to Greece again and it just gets better. So good in fact, it makes it onto the grid! I’m staying at Oku Kos, a laid-back, adult-only retreat on Kos’s northern coastline with its own beach club and incredible spa with a holistic message that runs throughout. The island of Kos was home to Hippocrates and the birthplace of healing; expect a wellness programme with movement practices and treatment rituals using Ancient Greek kneading techniques

Huge thanks to @perowneinternational ⭐️

Here are some snapshots from our clients, Jo and Luca, who recently returned from Iceland. Nothing makes our day more than receiving messages like this. Thanks to all of you for continuing to entrust your precious holiday planning with us, we couldn’t love our job more!

“Iceland we will be back - from volcanoes, geysers, black sand beaches, icebergs, glaciers, searching for arctic foxes, racing across the tundra in buggies, tectonic plate boundary and lots of waterfalls. Such a beautiful country. @mensosconcierge thank you Suzy - another amazing holiday!”

Surprising me at every turn, Folegandros is the is

Surprising me at every turn, Folegandros is the island that just keeps on giving. From unspoilt beaches with white sand underfoot, boat trips to crowdless grottos and one of the prettiest Chora’s I ever did see, this is the island that has it all. To me, it felt like the Capri of Greece (without the hordes of crowds and crazy prices). With only three towns to its name, you can drive the length of the island in its entirety in 15 minutes. Spend your days swimming in crystal clear waters, sipping a lemoncello spritz aside the freshest seafood before an evening spent amongst a town that feels like it’s straight out of a film set 💛

With one of the prettiest port towns of them all,

With one of the prettiest port towns of them all, Sifnos delights from the moment you step off the boat. Slightly more on the tourist route, the island remains uncrowded for the most part as long as you stay off the beaten track. Getting around with a car is very easy though. We loved the picturesque laid-back fishing village of Vathi with its sandy beach and friendly service and sundowner drinks perched atop the medieval walls of Kastro has to be seen to be believed. The island’s culinary fame is down to one man, Nikolaos Tselementes, a Sifnian chef who wrote the most famous Greek cookbook, and foodies are drawn here for the plethora of fabulous restaurants. In fact, we had just missed Obama who had been dining at Cantina the week before us!

Laid-back, discreet and utterly charming, Serifos

Laid-back, discreet and utterly charming, Serifos is the perfect first stop on the tour of the Cyclades. Close to Athens, it’s an easy ferry ride from the mainland. Known as the ‘Iron Lady’ for her mining past, the landscape is stunning and yet almost stark in places. The island is tiny (you can drive round the whole of it in under an hour), beaches are sandy and the water is crystal clear. There’s an insanely good winery, secret monasteries with doorbells (!) and a charmingly authentic Chora perched precariously on the side of a cliff

We found the people here incredibly warm and welcoming so lunchtime pit stops down bumpy tracks become long drawn out lunches with cheery locals keen to share their delicious food and local delicacies with a dog at your feet! 🇬🇷

“The short overview is that Nepal is a wonderful

“The short overview is that Nepal is a wonderful country full of history and amazing geography, and the people are incredibly welcoming. The star of the show is definitely the Himalayas - the first image you see flying in is an imposing wall of white, and they only get better the closer you get.

We never had to think about the logistics of the trip as this was arranged seamlessly in the background, meaning we could focus on enjoying the holiday. Both guides were excellent and we felt that they were always there if we needed anything.

Thank you for bringing it all together. We had a wonderful time”

Some wonderful feedback from Hugo and Charlotte who have recently returned from Nepal. Thank you for entrusting your trip with us!

Totally fell in love with Porto on my recent visit

Totally fell in love with Porto on my recent visit. It’s thoroughly charming with its winding cobbled UNESCO-listed streets to explore, delicious tapas at every turn, vintage trams (that whizz you to the nearby beach for the day), historic sites and beautiful architecture and of course, their infamous port wine. Its also incredible value for money. I mean really quite astoundingly good value.

A fantastic spot for a weekend away…

Contact us for more details to book or whatever location floats your boat 🛶

A snapshot of the last few wonderful days in Venic

A snapshot of the last few wonderful days in Venice staying at the delectable Ca ‘di Dio. This new 66-room hotel is going to be THE place to stay this year. Tucked away in Arsenale, you’re a short waterfront walk to St Mark’s Square yet staying in discreet bliss away from the main tourist trail. The service is impeccable, the cocktails are tip-top and the design is 👌🏼

Huge thanks to everyone @cadidio_ and @mason_rose for your generous hospitality. We loved every moment

One of our favourite (not-so-secret) spots, Kasbah

One of our favourite (not-so-secret) spots, Kasbah Bab Ourika is currently pampering our clients for a few days who wanted to ‘get away from it all’ and relax!

Known for its incredible bio kitchen garden, food here is as sustainably sourced and as local as can be. Chefs prepare healthy and delicious meals under the panoramic views of the Ourika Valley
