Es Bec D’Aguila is an exquisite Mediterranean estate (or finca) located in Menorca, in the Balearic Islands and is available for weekly rental. It started out in the 19th century when a family of Menorcan merchants built it as their weekend getaway, and its current owners recently renovated it and brought it back to life. The original vaulted ceilings, handmade Cuban tiles, breathtaking landscape and gorgeous decor make this an absolute dream of a destination. (Photos: Karel Balas)

Some from me. I will talk more about this in a future post, but there’s a new sofa gracing my living room and the cats are absolutely loving it. And I am too! Here is a glimpse of it featuring Mimin, and I threw a coverlet over it to keep the claw/fur off so Lucky decided to bury under it yesterday morning when it was cool out, and Bernie insisted on snuggling with Felix on it.
This home in Beaune, Burgundy, France takes bringing the outdoors in to a whole other level. Pine is abundant in this holiday family home surrounded by vineyards, and it looks incredibly relaxing and cozy. The homeowners kept the decor neutral which allows the pine to really take centre stage. Beautiful. Via The Socialite Family (photos: Constance Gennari, architect: Thomas Walter)
It’s like I say time and time again. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it certainly helps if it’s somewhere super stylish. Birkenstock 1774 Paris Showroom by Nick Vinson. (OMG! It’s chair heaven. I’m moving in.)
Like your Umbrian getaway house a little more contemporary, a little less vintage? This stone farmhouse (the owner’s grandparents home) has been sensitively renovated into a modern home without losing any of its charm. Now you are faced with a difficult choice, house 1 or house 2? Perhaps we could do both. San Pellegrino via Special Umbria.
