A hand-picked collection of places to stay: Authentic, Small-scale, One of a kind!
A beautiful old Andalusian estate, including chapel, large patio and stables was transformed into a fantastic hideaway. And only half an hour from Granada. Spanish life is delightful at this Cortijo and I definitely recommend spending a few days here, to unwind but also to explore the beautiful surroundings!
Beautiful luxury city palace situated in the lovely Andalusian city of Malaga. This hotel ticks all the Local Hideaways boxes! Perfect location, tastefully elegant rooms, a fantastic restaurant (also open to non-guests), and you start the day with a delicious breakfast. Last but definitely not least: friendly and inspired staff! In short, the perfect place for a citybreak in Malaga.
Just outside a picturesque small village, Paul and Fran found their Italian dream home. An old farmhouse with thick ocher-colored sandstone walls, plenty of space, surrounded by fruit trees and views of Marche’s rolling hills and high fortified villages. The perfect Hideaway to slow down and to enjoy local Italian (rural) life. Suitable for max. 6 persons.
The north of Italy has many well-known lakes, beautiful and very popular with holidaymakers for years… but hugely flattened. Time for a suitable alternative. Luckily, this summer I found a fairytale lake 1.5 hours’ drive from Milan where tourism is still mostly limited to Italians who have their country houses there. And it gets even better because I visited an amazing Hideaway there where everything is right and all 20 apartments have a view of the lake.
