Emme Restaurant at Immerso

We’ve all heard about the food in Portugal. Whether it’s the seafood, the cuts of meat, or even the wine, Portugal’s culinary scene has boomed in recent years. Some would say the best food is in the capital, Lisbon, or in other popular regions like the Algarve, Alentejo, or Douro Valley. However, there are always outliers. In the surf town of Ericeira, roughly an hour north of Lisbon, the ocean isn’t the only thing making waves. Emme Restaurant at Immerso…

Where to Stay in Provence

Whoever said to stop and smell the flowers must have been in Provence. We’re in the depths of summer, but this is still the one place in France that’s relatively unspoiled. There’s of course always a time and a place for $1k seafood towers and free-flowing bottles of Cristal. But it’s amazing what happens when you take away the mega yachts, nightclubs, and beach scene. So, what are you left with? Well, in this case, you have the countryside of…

Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes

There are some things that are almost guaranteed to be a home run. And Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes are one of them. House rentals can be arbitrary; you can have a great pad, but not have the staff to back it up. Though, the point is moot when MO is running the show.

Menorca, The Spanish Island to Know

You know the Hollywood cliché of every guy and girl who have been “just friends” for ages. Guy dates every Mrs. Wrong even when Mrs. Right has been his BFF all along.

Well, this also applies to vacation spots, and this one may just have the potential to be true love. Because sometimes there’s a destination right under…

La Fantaisie Paris Opens

New hotels always open in Paris, but when one is by the Leitmotiv Group in France, it’s worth a special look. La Fantaisie may sound like another type of establishment, but it’s actually a new hotel in the heart of the up-and-coming 9th Arrondissement. The name is kind of a tribute though, to its former red light district roots. La Fantaisie Paris is a new hotel, that’s worth a look.
