Villa Il Santo, Tuscany
Villa Il Santo is a beautiful 8-bedroom villa is set in the heart of Chianti just 30 minutes from Florence, San Gimignano, and Siena therefore offering easy access to the airport as well as some of the region’s most renowned towns and landmarks. Situated on a hilltop with far reaching views over the Tuscan countryside, the property consists of a historic watch tower and adjoining barn linked by a contemporary glass corridor. Sleeping up to 16 guests, the property features a state-of-the-art kitchen plus split level terraces for relaxing and entertaining along with a heated infinity pool not to mention a fantastic concierge service 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. 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 Austen’s Writing 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 Manor (6 bedrooms) which is referenced in the Domesday Book, 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.
Good to know
- Villa Il Santo is the perfect position for privacy in the heart of the Chianti hills yet still only 30 mins from the key historic towns of Florence, Siena and San Gimignano.
- Henry’s Townhouse is a versatile hotel, taken on a room-by-room basis, or for exclusive use, making the ultimate boutique luxury house hire in central London for up to 14 guests. The interiors were very much inspired by Jane Austen’s favourite brother Henry who lived here in the 18th century.
- Location, location – easy access to the hottest of the Cotswold hot-spots – from Daylesford to Soho Farmhouse, Cheltenham to Stow and Blenheim to Bicester Village. And with tons of tempting gastropubs, delis, and farm-shops on the doorstep, Temple Guiting is the perfect base from which to explore.
