White Line Hotels Welcomes THEMONIES LUXURY SUITES

This gem is most definately hidden.  Clever blends of local culture speak of Folegandros, a Greek hideaway which is a very different affair than that of the Cycladic neighbours of Santorini, Milos and Ios.

At the heart of the island lies the picturesque medieval main town, the Hora (Chora) and it is here in the shadows that Themonies was created close to the original hamlets built of honeyed stone sit snug together leading to little squares and intricate walkways – the   Hora typifies lovely Greekness and the vibe is warm, close and familiar.

White Line Hotels Welcomes Villa Flor: THE HOUSE OF NOUVEAU

The arty enclave of Upper Engadin perfectly contrasts the rather glitzy bling of St.Moritz, here mature elegance and intellect has always played refuge to the creative scene, celebrated by artists and writers.

Where better then to build a house of patrician, celebrating a return and what better style than that of the ornate Art Nouveau to echo your shared worldliness and presence.

Restored with a passionate hand, today peacock turquoise, warm ochre and vivid reds cloak the stenciled walls with ornate flowing motifs, which dance across the airy rooms in syncopated rhythm. This is truly a snapshot of the playful Jugendstil with a very clever style intervention borrowed from the 50‘s- all balanced by the solidness of the warm parquet floors.

This is a very richly decorated, irresistibly comfy urban villa that whispers confidence, style and utter sophistication – this is Upper Engadin.

You can find Villa Flor now in (Y)our Hotels.

Heritage Neatly Boxed: White Line Hotels Welcomes Consolación

Tucked away in Teruel, bordering Aragón, this observatory-like pad clasps to the bedrock amidst heady scents of thyme, lavender + almond groves. The Spanish terrain hosts a stark sequence of cubist structures which beautifully marry with the monastic 14^th century Ermita – a small intense masterpiece at the heart of this decidedly relaxed, creative enclave.

There is a subtle sweet rawness that caresses the place, with the wooden cubes adopting translucence + solidity, framing the wide vistas beyond – the huge open-ended window of each den reflects those medieval portals of the old church – a connectivity that runs a thread throughout.

There is something to be said for ME time – from your private cube you can dance as naked as a bird, or just sit and gaze a yonder.  Rejoin your fellow housemates taking the garden path past the sunken pool + follow your nose to the open kitchen dining or curl up over a bottle in the whimsical library.

A crafted, regional remit of old style luxury, translated for the nomads of today in a deliciously relaxed tone.
