Le Clos Colombier, Nieul, France
Experience life in a small French village in this 900-year-old villa that has been superbly renovated to a more modern taste. From the outside, the house is relatively unassuming, clad in ivy and adorned with simple white shutters. But as you step through the front door you are transported into a design-inspired and divinely decorated space that takes the very best of the house’s history and adds a glossy 21st-century touch to it. Nestled in two and a half acres of private parkland, this property is just a 10-minute drive away from Veyrac village where you can explore Le Clos Colombier’s Michelin-star owners hotel-restaurant.

Meikle Wartle House, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Live in a castle? Check! The Meikle Wartle House is a magnificent property and a complete haven if you’re looking for a secluded spot in this unique part of the world. The castle is set on private land amongst miles of meadows, fields and woodland open for exploration giving low-key Downton Abbey vibes. The castle itself will blow you away with the sheer size of the rooms, modified for modern living but keeping its age-old beauty intact. Come evenings, you can curl up in front of the warm wood burner at the great library or stay entertained at the games room. While Aberdeenshire is known for its distilleries and historic buildings, the explorer in you will be truly satisfied with the walking trails and sandy beaches in short proximity. Wear this:
Loewe shirt, Zimmermann denims, Loewe shoes and bag
Address: Meikle Wartle Manor, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Casa TO, Oaxaca, Mexico
Casa TO was born to create a space for observation of visual impact through raw materiality and forms integrated into the nature of the area, while also respecting the environment. The space is a cast-concrete structure that incorporates various openings – including large circular cutaways – to allow the breeze to flow through. The villa is located in the national capital of surfing, mixing with the growing architectural, culinary and entertainment development but at the same time away from all as it is located five blocks from the beach and in front of the Punta Zicatela Ecological Community, which allows you to be in a space of green views and tranquillity. We’re wearing this:
Alexis dress, Chloé bag, Saint Laurent cuff, Studio Love Letter necklace, Ancient Greek Sandals
Address: Morelos s/n, Brisas de Zicatela, 70934 Puerto Escondido, Oax., Mexico
