Walk on Water

The therapeutic qualities of water is something that we only really appreciate when we’re by it’s side… or when you’re swimming, or having a shower, or drinking it, or gardening, or keeping fish as pets…Ok, water is undoubtedly fantastic.

When you read celebrity interviews (the real ones, not the reality stars who want big rims and big breasts) they dream about waterfront properties, fresh and relaxing lifestyles. The dream isn’t floating to far away from us hard working people. Seas, rivers, lakes are prime land; they portray a lifestyle and are vital for the best views. We’ve got all look-out points covered.

PA & Co. Stockholm.

New clubs and restaurants open in Stockholm at a speedy pace, and before you can blink, they’ve gone, moved, or changed their entire concept.  It’s unusual to find a place that lasts more than a few seasons, and even more remarkable to find a place that has maintained a chic ambience for over 20 years.

No Ball Games

Something’s going on this June. Oh yeah, that over-talked about World Cup thing.

Not all places are embracing the game because, believe it or not, it’s not everyone’s be all and end all. Life and travel does carry on around World Cup time for those who let it.

Want to escape it? Here’s how.

We’re offering you retreats and hideaways so you don’t have to put up with the bad behaviour, the tantrums, the tears, the injuries or the opinions.  Get on the ball and go and do something else, somewhere else.

The Greulich Hotel is setting the tone with their No-Goal dinners, while these other hotel gems have told us their places will be football free:

Aenea, Worthersee, Austria
Krafft Basel, Basel
Lesic Dimitri, Korcula, Croatia
Inis Meain, Arran Islands, Ireland
Hotel des Academies, Paris
Ca’pisani, Venice
Hotel J, Stockholm
Hotel Skeppsholmen, Stockholm
Town Hall Hotel & Apartments, London

The Greenwich, New York
New Majestic, Singapore
The Retreat, Tanzania

Go somewhere where football fever isn’t being forced fed to you.

Folded Roof House by Claesson Koivisto Rune

The popularity of pre-fab housing seems to be growing, despite the exhausting unoriginality of most of these housing communities.  Aluminium siding that looks like brick, plots of land razed of all trees, only to have new ones strategically placed, and one street after the next, exactly the same, down to the font of the house numbers.  It really is tiring. Luckily Swedish kit house manufacturer Arkitethus has realized that although the cost efficiency of pre-fab is sensible, that doesn’t mean they have to be ticky tocky. Read the rest of this entry »
