By land a trip to Perast, often referred to as the most picturesque town in Europe, is a must. Venetian stone palaces line the shores of this pocket-sized gem in the Bay of Kotor.

By sea take a bespoke sailing trip of this spellbinding region. Shades of the Norwegian fjords and Lake Como spring to mind as you wind through the serpantine bay lined with the ancient fortified towns of Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Prčanj, and Herceg Novi.

The Wild Hotel by Interni, Greece
The Wild was our final stop on our honeymoon trip to the Cyclades, and we saved the best for last. The location is breathtaking – set within a natural ampitheatre on a cliffside. As we stepped out of the lobby and peered over the tumbling cliffs at Kalafatis Beach below, it was a real pinch-me moment.
Hotel Il Pellicano, Italy
Between Rome and Pisa, Hotel Il Pellicano hides on one of Monte Argentario’s most beautiful coves. Here, it’s all wild beaches and mediterranean pine trees and it’s where wealthy Italians have been escaping for years.
Parilio, Greece
Flicking through Conde Nast’s infamous Gold list, I came across this beautiful new hotel, and I knew that it would make the ultimate honeymoon trip. The stunning white buildings with dramatic archways and sharp edges nestled among the palms looked like the ideal place to just unwind and do nothing – and feel pretty decadent while doing it.
