In a far away land, in a secret world of beauty, exotic luxury awaits. A sigh has just escaped my lips. A dream, a fantasy. A reality for a special few. If I found a genie in a lamp and set him free I would want just one wish. Riad Enija via Welcome Beyond.
Welcome beyond your wildest dreams of holiday luxury. Drink in the modernist beauty that is Villa Amanzi, a stunning six bedroom residence with a 15m infinity pool and breathtaking views over the Andaman Sea at Phuket, Thailand. Millionaires row but a girl can dream.
A few months ago I was dreaming of escaping to paradise or beyond, vacation homes showcased by Welcome Beyond. Chris from Welcome Beyond has promised to feed my holiday fantasies with new properties soon but in the meantime I'm taking a virtual vacation to berge in Aschau im Chiemgau, Bavaria, Germany.Managed by Nils Holger, a furniture designer, berge is all about the details. "It’s all about designing 'berge' not in a classic style, but to penetrate through to every detail. When there was no suitable door handle, we had it crafted by a blacksmith. The towels and bath robes were custom-made for the house, an old man in town turns wood into the bowls we use and for silverware we didn’t buy something just because it was nice or cheap, but only what was best suited." As a design junkie those words are music to my ears. Raw timber, Glühwein and snow. The perfect trinity for a girl sweltering in cyclonic humidity.
Holiday. Holiday. Holiday. Click my heels three times and I'm there. If only! Want to join me in Vietnam at Six Senses Con Dao? Vietnam is a country I have always wanted to visit. And after our whirlwind tour a peaceful break on the beach at this very stylish new resort and spa. Yes please!
Ah Umbria! Beautiful, beautiful Umbria! If I had won the lottery last week I would be winging my way to Italy right now. Escaping the incessant torrential rain swamping Queensland. I know it is not summer over in Italy right now but I'm prepared to rough it through the winter at Castello di Reschio. That way all will be ready for your visit when the weather warms up. 5 bedrooms, might have to wheel in a few trundle beds. If I rent it from now to eternity you all might be able to make it for a week or two. Line starts on the left ;)
