Our approach
The shape of a good escape
Leave room for wandering
A guide should offer a starting point, not a timetable. We choose a few worthwhile stops and leave the rest open.
Stay somewhere with character
The best weekends begin and end well: a proper bed, a view worth lingering over, and a place that feels distinctly its own.
Follow the local rhythm
Markets, coastal paths, village pubs and independent tables make the journey feel rooted in the place.
