This Winter we have spent more time ‘hibernating’ than ever.

In July this year we were fortunate to end a few weeks of travel by staying at an architecturally designed Masseria in the heart of Puglia, Southern Italy. Designed by Andrew Trotter, editor of the beautiful Open House magazine, Masseria Moroseta (MM) sits like a mirage among a valley of hundred year old Olive Trees. MM has exploded on social media since it opened last year, and rightfully so . . . it is stunning! But there is something about visiting this Masseria, about standing in it's shadows, and among the olive trees that give you so much...

From Padua to Prague

Upon first landing in Rome, a 4 hour train journey took us the charming town of Padua to meet up with friends already fully immersed in a European way of life. We shared an evening meal in time with the heartbeat...
