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)
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)
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.
TGIF! Time to escape on a little Italian holiday. For those of you who found the strict minimalism of Wednesday’s Tuscan stone house just a little too spartan (read boring) then today we’re crossing into Umbria to a large farmhouse that has been divided in very private apartments. I can hear your collective sigh from here. That’s better! Love the vintage meets industrial meets stone farmhouse vibe. Just perfect for a relaxed family or friends getaway. You can book a stay at Mazzo via Special Umbria and you can check out the sister apartment here.
In the depths of winter here in Australia I’m dreaming of warm, sunny days spent by the pool, sharing meals with friends as the evening lingers, seamless living inside and out. I’m dreaming of this backyard. Windward Lane by Southern California based Garden Studio Landscape Design.
