Someone once told me that it’s difficult not to feel at home in Copenhagen, even if you don’t speak a word of Danish. That certainly rings true, and it’s a city I’ve felt drawn to again and again, ever since my first visit through a school exchange programme at the age of 14. For me, Copenhagen has it all – elegant boulevards, pretty little streets lined with houses painted in ochre, grey and . . .
A stay at Nobis Hotel Copenhagen
Whenever I travel, I always try to seek out beautiful hotels which appeal to my love of design – not only are they a treat to stay in, they're also a wonderful source of inspiration for my own projects. The Swedish Nobis Hospitality Group has been responsible for some of my favourites to date, including Miss Clara and Hotel J in Stockholm, and its first addition in Denmark – Nobis Hotel Copenhagen . . .

After stops in Monopoli and Ostuni, we drove south to the beautiful Salentine Peninsula – the very tip of Italy – for a three-day stay at Don Totu.

Postcards from Puglia | Part 2
It seems strange to be writing about balmy days in southern Italy when I’m wrapped up in a blanket watching snowflakes swirl outside the window, but it’s time for the second instalment from our September road trip around Puglia (you can read the first one here). From the coastal town of Monopoli, we wove inland along country roads, past olive groves dotted with the cone-shaped trulli that are . . .
