This week I went on an EPIC road trip from Lisbon to Lalande. After a busy summer running the workshops and chambres d'hotes at the chateau, I decided to treat myself to a week of beautiful hotels to get lots of inspiration for our winter renovations. From sleek concrete and glass modernity to palatial charm, beach chic to city life, I tasted luxury in all its forms. And stopped on the way at breathtaking historical sites to learn of passionate stories of forbidden love. I hope you enjoy joining us for the ride!!!
