    Not just a stay, but unforgettable experiences

    Colourful streets in the authentic medina of Fez

    Culture of the senses in the authentic medina of Fez

    The medina of Fez has remained virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages. Its labyrinth of souks and alleyways exudes a mystical atmosphere that captivates every sense. A visit to the medina is an unforgettable experience: the rhythmic sound of copper hammers in Seffarine Square, the invigorating scent of mint at the traditional tanneries, the rich flavours of spices in tajines and couscous, the tactile delight of soft, sensual fabrics as you peruse the stalls, and the breathtakingly ornate Arab architecture.

    Active Austria: Hiking in the Silvretta region

    The Silvretta region is a premier destination for active travellers, spanning Tyrol, and Vorarlberg, and extending into Switzerland’s stunning Graubünden. With towering 3,000-metre summits and vast glacial landscapes, this alpine Eden offers unforgettable adventures for both day trips and multi-day tours. A highlight is the 5-day Montafon Hut Circuit, where you’ll traverse diverse terrains and enjoy the welcoming warmth of traditional wooden huts. For a shorter yet equally rewarding experience, a hike around the Hohe Rad reveals sweeping vistas of rugged mountain ranges and pristine alpine scenery.

    A Romantic Experience: Edinburgh's Historic Elegance

    The Scottish city of Edinburgh offers so many opportunities for a romantic getaway. Stroll hand in hand along cobblestone paths of the historic Royal Mile, enjoy nostalgic sunsets on Calton Hill, indulge in a luxurious spa with couple's treatments and cap off the evening with a private romantic dinner at one of the city’s top-notch restaurants. For a touch of adventure, hike up Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano in Holyrood Park, just a 45-minute walk from the Old Town. The sweeping views of the historic city on one side and the sea on the other set the stage for an unforgettable romantic moment.

    Turkey - Cappadocia and Antalya

    Turkey offers a wealth of travel options. This summer holiday, you could choose Cappadocia or Antalya, or both! In Cappadocia, start your day with a sunrise balloon ride, floating over magical rock formations and ticking off a bucket list dream. You also shouldn’t miss exploring the ancient underground cities or touring the Göreme Open Air Museum. Then you can finish your holiday in Antalya and enjoy the sun and paradisiacal beaches. You should also lose yourself in the cobbled streets of the old town, Kaleiçi, sample authentic Turkish food or be transported back to ancient Rome with the ruins of Perge and Aspendos. Your holiday in Turkey promises to be a dream come true, filled with the most special places and experiences.

    France - The Côte d'Azur

    The Côte d'Azur is a hedonistic mix of scenic landscapes, mouthwatering cuisine, splendid weather, and vibrant culture, from the coast to the hinterland. From your bed and breakfast, you can explore the enchanting villages that dot the Southern Alps, such as Saint-Paul de Vence or Gourdon, perched dramatically like an eagle's nest. In Nice, the lively capital of the Côte d'Azur, you can stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais and admire the opulent villas and palaces emblematic of the Riviera. Continue your discovery of the pearls of the Côte d'Azur by exploring the exotic garden of Èze, a botanical wonder suspended between heaven and earth, where southern vegetation blends with the shimmering Mediterranean.

    Portugal - Porto, Lisbon and Algarve

    If you're torn between a city break and a beach holiday, Portugal offers the perfect combination. Start your adventure in Porto, where you can meander through charming streets and visit the iconic Don Luis Bridge. Then, head to Lisbon to be captivated by its historical monuments, treat yourself to a famous Pastéis de Belém, and take a ride on the iconic tram 28. After a few days of cultural sightseeing in these vibrant cities, it's time to unwind in the Algarve. Book a cosy B&B near the stunning beaches of Lagos, Portimão, or Carvoeiro and be sure not to miss the fabulous Praia da Marinha and the historic Silves Castle.

    Croatia - Dubrovnik and Hvar

    Croatia’s stunning coastline makes it an ideal holiday destination, with Dubrovnik and Hvar offering two distinct yet equally magical experiences. Known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic," Dubrovnik enchants visitors with its medieval city walls and dramatic Old Town - the backdrop to many a Game of Thrones scene. Grab a Dubrovnik Pass so you don’t miss a thing! From Dubrovnik, take a ferry to Hvar, a sun-soaked island famous for its crystal-clear waters, lavender fields, and vibrant nightlife. Wander through Stari Grad’s historic harbour, the desert village of Malo Grablje or relax in Dubovica’s tranquil bay.

    How to choose the perfect B&B for my holiday in 2025?
