  • London Travel Guide. London is one of those cities you could return to year after year and still find something new - I know I do.

From royal landmarks and world-class museums to neighbourhoods packed with independent cafés, markets and beautiful streets, here’s where I’d start:

Best Things to Do: Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Borough Market, Sky Garden, Soho, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Notting Hill, Portobello Road Market, Daunt Books, Sir John Soane’s Museum, Regent’s Canal walk from Little Venice to Camden, Coal Drops Yard, Neal’s Yard, Primrose Hill, Columbia Road Flower Market (Sundays), Broadway Market (Saturdays), Shoreditch.

Where to Stay: Raffles at The OWO, Henrietta Experimental, The Ned, The Zetter

Where to Eat: Rochelle Canteen, Chiltern Firehouse, Dishoom, Brawn, Jolene Bakery & Café, Cafe Cecilia, The Pelican (Notting Hill), The River Cafe, Rita’s, Mildreds.

London is impossible to see properly in a single trip, but these are the places I’d recommend to friends visiting for the first time. 
They combine the city’s biggest highlights with some of the neighbourhoods, restaurants and lesser-known spots that keep me coming back even years after I left.

  • Lalaria Beach is easily one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Hidden beneath soaring white limestone cliffs and only accessible by boat it’s the place that put Skiathos on the map. 

The water is an unreal shade of turquoise, the pebble beach, a dazzling white and the dramatic cliffs complete the view. 

Arrive before 10.30am or later in the afternoon to have it to yourself and pack everything in and then out. 

📍 Save Lalaria Beach, Skiathos for your next trip to the Sporades islands.

  • A Masseria is a traditional fortified farmhouse unique to Puglia, many dating back hundreds of years and now beautifully restored as boutique hotels. 

Staying in one is one of the regions most memorable experiences combining historic architecture, exceptional local food, peaceful countryside settings and warm Puglian hospitality. 

As someone who lives in Puglia I’ve experienced my fair share and I’ve rounded up my favorite masserias/masserie in Puglia. Just comment ‘Masseria’ and I’ll send you the full list for free.

  • Just a reminder that a little city in the center of Europe might just be calling your name this summer. 

📍 Prague, Czech Republic

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 might just be Europe’s most underrated country. Between emerald rivers, dramatic mountains, Ottoman old towns and some of the continent’s warmest people, it offers the sort of authenticity that’s getting increasingly hard to find. 

Add uncrowded landscapes and unforgettable places like Mostar, Kravice and Una National Park and it’s a destination that consistently exceeds expectations without the crowds of its better-known neighbors.

  • For me, the best boutique hotels bring together place, design and service in the most beautiful and unique ways. 

Housed in an impeccably refurbished 16th convent in the heart of Cilento National Park, staying here lets you experience this part of rural Italy in the most authentic way possible. 

Peace, true Italian hospitality, and a strong connection to place, a stay at @conventofrancescano is one you can’t go wrong with this summer.

  • The perfect weekend in Budapest, one of Europe’s most underrated cities. From coffee in historic, grand cafes to sunrise over one of Europe’s most elaborate parliament buildings.
