Few places offer as much to do and see, all year round, as the largest and most charming of Italy's lakes: Lake Garda.
And the place to see it at its very best is its east coast, in the Veneto region. Whether in search of family fun, activity breaks, romantic evenings, culture, relaxation or simply the peace and tranquillity of nature, this area covers it all. And, of course, there's always Italy's world-renowned wine and food to savour.

Bentley just launched three brand spanking new Mulsannes, the Mulsanne Consummate, the Mulsanne Speed and the first ever Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase. So where on earth could you go to test these big guys? Somewhere with great scenery, sublime mountain vistas, oodles of leather shorts and Schloss’s that would give Bond baddy Ernst Stavro Blofelt secret lair envy. Throw in long roads (the famous Autobahns) with no speed limit at all and bingo, you have the lovely Austria or Innsbruck to be more specific.

The Cotswolds represent the British countryside at its best, an idyll that is portrayed in so many films and articles.  An added bonus is that we have some of the most luxurious country house hotels where you can find all the creature comforts, together with delicious food.  You can chill out in the sanctuary of a relaxing spa, perhaps while away a few hours with chosen friends and family, or explore beautiful gardens, intimate local villages and towns.  All very decadent and sybaritic.     

 
A city steeped in rich medieval history, littered with relics from bygone ages, and, currently, overrun with the visions of a frequently overlooked, misunderstood and- aesthetically at least- twisted artistic genius. 
 

It is always the way, to find the best you have to seek it out.  That is quite a job when you are looking for a ski chalet in the world’s largest ski area which comprises so many villages and resorts.  The resorts include Courchevel 1850 with 15 five star hotels, a Milky Way of Michelin stars and a veritable torrent of the premium global brands all competing loudly for attention.  Still looking for the best but in other characteristics is St.

 As spring arrives and many took to the slopes for the last time this Easter, you would be forgiven in thinking that skiing will be the last thought for those booking their luxury holidays. However, the best chalets are in such demand that bookings are being made now for the season to guarantee savvy luxury travellers can enjoy only the finest on their next ski break.  It’s not surprising considering the demand for such properties, as each year chalet design combined with formidable service levels are consistently surpassing expectations in the realms of luxury ski.
 

The Ski amadé pass covers a vast area with some 25 ski resorts south of Salzburg where there are some relatively famous resorts including Schladming and Gastein resorts.

There are so many restaurants in London these days that when you recommend somewhere to a visitor to the metropolis you might be forgiven for feeling slightly nervous. However, you know you are in safe hands when you suggest Mark Hix, whose reputation must span almost twenty years or so, and his executive chef Lee Kebble.
