Today I'm sharing the final leg of our September trip to Italy, and the part which I had been looking forward to most of all: a stay at utterly unique cave hotel Le Grotte della Civita, located just across the border from Puglia in the neighbouring province of Basilicata. It sits in UNESCO-listed Matera, which is perched above a steep-sided ravine and famous for its troglodyte old quarter known . . .
Home tour | A Swedish apartment in white, grey & tan
This beautifully airy three-bedroom apartment instantly caught my eye when I saw it on the website of Swedish estate agent Stadshem, and I couldn't resist featuring it in my latest home-tour post. Set in central Gothenburg and newly renovated, it was styled for sale by interior design studio Greydeco. It ticks almost every box on my dream-home wishlist: a muted palette of grey and white, . . .

From the coastal town of Monopoli, we wove inland along country roads, past olive groves dotted with the cone-shaped trulli that are . . .
Home tour | A sleek & stylish family house in Melbourne
For my latest home tour I’m taking you over to Australia for a peek at a century-old Melbourne house that’s been rejigged for modern living – the first project from the new CJH Studio, which was founded by interior designer and architect Cassie James-Herrick. This light and airy 1900s villa is home to a young family, so the design needed to be practical as well as stylish. The first step was to . . .
