It has been many years since I enjoyed Lisbon as a tourist – and it was wonderful to see it like visitors do. I had an exceptional experience thanks to Exclusive by TLC, who organised the perfect 2 days for yours truly and Mr. O.

My hOtel: Cheval Harrington Court, London

FIRST POSTED: 4th August 2014 | LAST UPDATED: 19th June 2019

Located in South Kensington, minutes from the tube station, Cheval Harrington Court was one of my best discoveries in London. Lovely brand new serviced apartments (which come with a bottle of champagne, of course!).

A Dinner onboard the Belmond British Pullman train

FIRST POSTED: 28th July 2014 | LAST UPDATED: 6th August 2019

There is something about certain train journeys – the old-school glamour, fine dining and fabulous outfits. And copious amounts of champagne – I have to confess, that it had my name written all over it. I loved my journey on board the Belmond British Pullman.

My hOtel: a review of Salcombe Harbour Hotel, Devon, UK

FIRST POSTED: 17th July 2014 | LAST UPDATED: 15th July 2019

A very well designed hotel, in one of Devon’s quintessentially English seaside towns: Salcombe. With gin in each room as a staple, and incredible views, this is what I call a perfect weekend getaway hotel.

I am a great believer that one cannot have too much Italy in one’s life. This time, I headed to the very south of Italy, to the heel of the boot and discovered a wonderful place: Puglia.

My hOtel: a review of The Marylebone Hotel, London

FIRST POSTED: 1st July 2014 | LAST UPDATED: 15th July 2019

A little London gem, located in my favourite part of London: Marylebone. With rooms starting at just over £200, great value for money and do not get me started on the sexy Irish accents, a Doyle Collection staple.

Although I am a confessed beach lover, I won’t say no to a pretty pool. Especially if it is warm and sunny outside. To celebrate the arrival of summer, my favourite season, here are my top 10 hotel pools (needless to say, I have been to each one)!

Why is hiring a car such a painful part of the travel experience?

FIRST POSTED: 16th June 2014 | LAST UPDATED: 12th November 2020

Hiring a car is, 50% of the time, a must for me when I travel – I would say I hire one 15-20 times a year, at least, and it still remains my least favourite part of a travel experience.
