After visiting the likes of Rome, Milan, Naples, Tuscany and The Amalfi coast, I decided it was time to go in search of a lesser-known, more rustic Italy. Puglia is a rural region on the south coast of Italy. Imagine rolling hills, sun-drenched vineyards and olive trees alongside a stretch of specta
The Amalfi Coast isn’t a place where you do things by halves. It’s all about big yachts, big hats and big budgets. Destinations don’t come much more bucketlist-worthy than this, so if you’re planning a dream trip to Amalfi, you want to make sure you’re staying in a hotel equally as breath
One of the best things about this job is getting to discover hidden gems around the world. They don’t come around on every trip, but when they do, I’m always so excited to report back to Travelista. Introducing Masseria Montenapoleone, a luxuruous family-run farm house providing guests with a tr
During my time in Puglia I filmed a video diary of our trip. I am excited to share that the video is now live on YouTube, but you can watch it right here! If you’re not already subscribed to my YouTube channel, I’d love it if you could head over and hit the subscribe button! It̵
Ok guys, you spoke and I listened. During my time in Puglia I had a lot of questions about what I was wearing and a few of you even requested a ‘what I wore’ post. It’s a bit of a blog post departure for me, but I thought I’d try something new. So whilst my upcoming
Of all the beautiful countries in Europe, my love affair with Italy is the strongest. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the azure waters of The Amalfi Coast, Italy is one of the most diverse and characterful countries I’ve ever discovered. The architecture, food, fashion and hospitality is unmi
Travelista guest blogger Sophie Stewart recently enjoyed a foodie mini-break to Rome with her boyfriend., and as soon as she arrived back, I was pestering her for her top travel tips. Combining our two passions of travel and food, we’ve joined forces to tell you 10 things to know before visiti
Of all the countries in Europe, Italy has a special place in my heart. The food, the culture, the charm, the passion, the scenery…I fall more in love with Italy every time I visit. My most recent adventure to the south coast allowed me to discover a completely new part of the mainland, as well&hel
As my blog has evolved over the years, my love affair with boutique hotels has grown and grown. For me, the creativity, quirky details and personal service of a boutique hotel will forever trump the safe predictableness of a hotel chain. This has been my view on hotels for a while, but it was only&h
Last month I spent 2 dreamy days exploring Florence with my boyfriend Scott. During this time we ate, drank, shopped and soaked in all the culture and history of this world-famous Italian city. Based on my experience, I have created this city guide to Florence, packed full of recommendations which h
During my stay in Florence I was invited to have a guided tour of the hotel’s most luxurious and sought-after accommodation type, the Tower Suite at Hotel Brunelleschi. I fell in love with the suite so much that I thought it deserved it’s very own blog post. So here’s a sneak peak
Last week I embarked upon a road trip adventure through the rolling hills of Tuscany. With multiple stops, hotels and towns to visit, it’s a trip I had been planning for quite some time. This time I was very lucky to be able to bring my boyfriend along, who didn’t take much convincing to be&hell
A few things have changed since I last visited Rome. This is because the last time I visited Rome was exactly 10 years ago. Back then I was (quite embarrassingly) your typical well-travelled but ungrateful child. Whilst I was lucky enough to have incredible holidays all around the world with my trav
Paella by the Spanish coast, a Mini speeding down a British country road, romance in Paris… There are some things in life that are so incredibly iconic that no matter how cliché they become, they will also remain utterly timeless. During my trip to Rome last week, I was lucky enough to explore th
During my whirlwind trip to north Sardinia I was invited to spend a day experiencing what it was like to stay at the stunning 5* Capo d’Orso Thalasso Hotel & Spa. So of course, my fellow journalists and I popped off to see what the stunning beachfront hotel had to offer. With just 84
