CASA MANA IN MALLORCA
Travel photographer Ana Lui cultivates a true taste for a change of scenery, which inspired her to open her own vacation home. She proves it by renovating a derelict finca to open Casa Mana in Binissalem, a rural district of Mallorca known for its vineyards. The decor is mineral, faithful to the beige tones of the island: exposed stone, uneven polished cement floor, wooden bathtub with the appearance of brushed metal... breathtaking.
ICONIC HOUSE IN GORDES
The perfect fusion of modernity and tradition in the village voted the most beautiful in the world. This architectural gem, located in the hills above Gordes, offers breathtaking panoramic views and elegant interiors. With its harmonious blend of contemporary design and Provençal charm, this exceptional residence creates a unique living experience. A magical getaway where architecture, design, and nature come together for an unforgettable stay.
THE RESTORED SHEEPFOLD IN TINOS
Jérôme and Sabrina fell under the spell of Tinos, a Greek island in the northern Cyclades. They decided to leave everything behind to get married and settle into an abandoned 18th-century building, which they lovingly restored. She, a fashion designer with a passion for ceramics, and he, an antiques dealer and exterior designer, gave this abandoned sheepfold a new lease of life, creating a natural paradise.
OUR 3 ADDRESSES FOR
GET STARTED WITH FOREST BATHING
Walk in the silence of the trees, feel the energy of the forest, breathe deeply...
This is what we call “shinrin yoku”: these Japanese forest baths allow you to heal the body and mind.
Even a brief immersion in nature has a positive impact on regulating the pulse, blood pressure, the nervous system, the release of cortisol (the stress hormone), improving mood (via the production of serotonin), reducing fatigue and refreshing our intellectual performance.
THE CASTLE
FROM THE HIGH EDGE
Both a guest house and an artist's residence, the Château de la Haute Borde is a magical setting in the heart of the Loire Valley.
A former 19th-century building completely transformed into a designer guesthouse, surrounded by a park of towering chestnut trees and a pond. The venue also hosts events and artists in residence. It's the kind of place we love.
STILTS, A SURF
ECO-LODGE IN THE LANDES
Fifteen minutes from Hossegor, in the heart of the dense pine forest of southern Landes, Claire and Thomas Aubanelle have imagined a rare interlude. A four-star hotel respectful of nature, consisting of seven "modges" and a family lodge, all made of wood and glass, set along a soothing body of water. A place of simple luxury, both close to and far from the world, open to the simple pleasures the region has to offer (surfing, horseback riding, hiking, etc.).
THE LODGES OF THE LOIRE VALLEY
Under the stars. A glass room perched on 4-meter-high stilts, in the heart of the woods... This is the idea of Anne-Caroline Frey, a former Parisian turned sylvotherapy enthusiast, who runs 18 pure luxury lodges spread across a 300-hectare estate. Here, nature reigns supreme, and all activities have been designed to be experienced in symbiosis with it: a swimming pool with a wooden beach, a summer lounge of aromatic plants, or even essential oil massages made from neighboring trees with beneficial phytoncides.
