The St. Regis Florence epitomizes luxury hospitality and elegance, having been a favored spot since the 18th century. A recent stay included a signature champagne sabrage and a stunning suite with views of the Arno River. The experience featured a lavish breakfast and visits to local gems like a Christmas market, gelateria, and fine dining at Osteria Cipolla Rossa. A memorable occasion indeed.

Being silly in the Scilly Isles
When we told our friends where we were going, some laughed, some said ‘wow’ and some said how Scilly. (See what I did there?!) We were there early June 2017, so bare in mind things may have changed since then. We didn’t really know what to expect. One thing is for sure, we were blown…
