Villa Il Santo, Tuscany

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Villa Il Santo is a captivating blend of historic charm and modern luxury. This beautifully restored villa offers an unforgettable experience, surrounded by rolling vineyards and olive groves that embody the essence of the Italian countryside. The villa’s architecture retains its authentic character with exposed stone walls and terracotta floors, while seamlessly incorporating contemporary comforts for today’s discerning traveller.

With spacious living areas, eight elegantly appointed bedrooms, and breathtaking views of the Chianti hills, Villa Il Santo provides a serene retreat for families and friends. Sleeping up to 16 guests, the property features a state-of-the-art kitchen as well as a stylish outdoor kitchen in the garden complete with BBQ and Fontana pizza oven.  Outdoors, a sparkling infinity pool invites relaxation, and expansive terraces offer the perfect setting for al fresco dining under the Tuscan sun.

A short drive from the medieval town of San Gimignano and the cultural treasures of Florence and Siena, the villa is ideally situated for exploring Tuscany’s rich heritage. A fantastic concierge service is also available as and when required.

Henry's Townhouse, London

Henry’s Townhouse is simply what London has been waiting for. Sitting somewhere between a private residence and a boutique hotel, Henry’s is a luxurious lesson in Georgian glamour and bespoke design.

Henry’s is a labour of love. A classic five-storey Townhouse on Upper Berkeley St, Marylebone, it was once the home of Jane Austen’s favourite brother, Henry. With six elegant, truly luxurious bedrooms, there is nowhere more comfortable, yet more characterful in London. The common areas are equally superb, including a bespoke Pantry Kitchen with long sharing table for breakfast & private dining. We also love the carriage-like cocktail ‘snug’, rooftop terrace for evening aperitifs and Jane’s Reading Room – perfect for afternoon tea or simply relaxing after a busy day in London.

Henry’s is perfect for the most discerning of guests who are looking for something more than just a hotel stay in terms of flexibility, privacy or style, but without compromising on service, location or exclusivity.

Temple Guiting Manor &  Barns, The Cotswolds

Temple Guiting Estate is undoubtedly the finest luxury private home rental in the Cotswolds and quite possibly the UK.

A stunning combination of historic, picture-perfect Cotswold stone buildings and contemporary, luxurious interior design, the Estate features the kind of facilities you might expect from a 5-star hotel but is only available as an exclusive-use private rental.

The 15th century Jacobean Manor House (6 bedrooms) and the more contemporary Barn (5 bedrooms) can be taken separately or together as the Estate (sleeping up to 30 adults plus 6 children), with the Granary and Cow Byre included as flexible and super-chic accommodation in addition to the main buildings, as required.

From the award-winning gardens, the stunning Slim Aarons-esque outdoor heated pool, all-weather tennis court, outdoor hot-tubs, cinema room, wild swimming lake, kids adventure playground, and incredible entertaining spaces (complete with the owners’ private art collection), these are houses designed for the coolest in comfort, style, and privacy.
