All the hard work is done. The doors are open. Guests are arriving. Welcome to Pruga, two acres of peace and quiet and bed and breakfast. After many years in the UK, Andrijana and Vanja returned to Croatia, to the idyllic countryside of Istria, to just outside the tiny village of Lovrinići. Blood, sweat and tears and finally they created a beautiful stone building containing two apartments for guests, a lovely pool for hot summer days and all the tranquility one could want. Oh and the bars and restaurants that abound in this part of Croatia. More on their website and you can follow their progress on their blog.

No words except when is the next flight to Cambodia? Song Saa private island resort.

Chez Ric & Fer is a bed and breakfast in Coucy le Château, Northern France owned by Richard and Fernanda Gamba. The home is situated in one of the city’s oldest houses which was rebuilt with the castle’s stones right after the bombings of World War I. It used to be the village’s chemist’s shop during the 1920’s. Very unexpectedly, Richard and Fernanda gave the rustic accomodations a modern, mid-century vintage twist – who would have thought?! They have a phenomenal suite or a bedroom available if you’re looking for funky vacation digs. Sign me up! (I even speak French!)

Monday is the perfect day to dream of weekends away, of girlfriends and wine and fine food and a hideaway cottage in the countryside. Nestled between the vines and the orchards is a country chic getaway for up to 10 people on 10 acres in the heart of Red Hill, Victoria. Inside wood burning fireplaces, linen sofas and vintage furniture. Outside two large kitchen gardens to raid for the casual feasts we’ll be whipping up. That will be the most work we’ll do. I promise. That and trips to vineyards. Orchard Keepers is our destination. Count you in?

Yesterday Jo took you to Mykonos. Today I’ll be taking you to Paris, specifically to the Hôtel du Panthéon. It has recently been completely renovated and is now absolutely stunning, due in part to the fabulous decor by interior designer Valérie Manoïl. It’s modernized, bold (the wallpaper selections!!) yet classy and I would absolutely love to stay here. (Photos by Jerome d’Almeida) 

P.S. I worked on a little desk facelift project yesterday if you want to check it out over on my page.
