I’m here to share extraordinary stays—handpicked hideaways that stand out for their bespoke service, meticulous attention to detail, and exceptional design. Each selection is thoughtfully curated to highlight spaces where aesthetics, comfort, and personality come together naturally.
Some of the links in this list are affiliate links—if you book through them, it won’t cost you anything extra, but it helps support this project (kind of like buying it a coffee, but way more exciting)
Thanks for being part of this journey! Now, let’s explore these one-of-a-kind stays…
I stayed here during my trip to Sicily in 2024 and used this place as a base to visit Taormina, Catania, and Mount Etna. I was fortunate to find these apartments. They are spacious, equipped with all the comforts and amenities, and the location is unbeatable. I loved them!

This selection is regularly updated, so be sure to revisit for new accommodations that we will be adding over time. If you find it helpful, please share it with lovers of design and low-key luxury.
As always, in our guides, we strive to give visibility to independent, small accommodations with soul, character, and charm, catering to the design-oriented traveler who appreciates unique and creatively curated spaces, embracing the essence of slow travel and a mindful approach to hospitality.

I only recommend places where I would stay myself. Some of the links in this guide are affiliate links. This means that if you click on them and book, I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Your support helps me keep this project going and continue curating beautiful places to stay around the world.
The photos are selected from the locations’ websites, their socials or from the platforms where they are advertised. If I know the photographer, I always mention it. I take copyright very seriously and I can’t conceive of not giving credit.
