A wonderful home from home on Ibiza

Have you ever been to Ibiza? I've never been. I think it's because my sister lives in Mallorca - so it's our go to place in the Balearic Islands. But I'd absolutely love to visit someday. And now that the beautiful design hotel La Granja Ibiza has come on the scene a trip might just be imminent! Set on a farm, La Granja Ibiza has nine guest rooms and a freestanding guesthouse marked by 'classical Iberian architecture and traces of  Moorish influences', not to mention cool dark walls and simple, rustic touches.  The pool and kitchen area bring guests together - while cozy nooks found inside and out provide moments of 'simple solitude'.  If you like a little action, you can always head down to the farm to meet Coco the 'all-knowing pig' and learn about biodynamic agriculture through a series of workshops, classes and community-based projects. I'm loving the sound of 'lucid Sunday' and 'Other Thursdays' rituals too. Meet you there this summer?!

Could you imagine staying here?!

Yesterday I was dreaming of spending the day besides Daniella's pool and today - this one in Ibiza. Sigh - another day, another pool, if only it were all real!!

Get the look from this beautiful Ibiza design hotel: bedroom - pick up charcoal linen bed covers here, these wooden workman stools are similar, I love Private 0204 rugs. Sitting room - buy off-white linen by the half yard here to cover your sofa.

If you'd like to dream over more design hotels today I'd definitely recommend checking out this idyllic holiday home in the South of France (heaven!), your very own Tasmanian island hide-away and a Brazilian escape in lush tropical gardens.  The question is, which corner of the world should we visit first?!

Have a lovely day!

PS It was a pleasure to be interviewed by My Domain on the subject of 'Lagom in the home'  yesterday. Thank you for inviting me guys!

An idyllic holiday home in the South of France

I do love the small coincidences in life, don't you? Take yesterday. I was leafing through Hilary Robertson's book The Stuff of Life and the beautiful home of New York designer Annie Moore in Carcassonne, South of France caught my eye. And then last night her home popped up on my bloglovin' feed from nowhere- and I knew at that moment it was a sign - I had to share it with you!  I am so in love with this space, I could quite easily dine out for days on it....the rustic touches, the beautiful garden, the wallpaper, the freestanding baths, everything! And guess what? I also found out it's somewhere we can actually stay (quoted on the website as 'your spiritual home in the south of france')! Why did I not know about this before?

See you at Camellas-Lloret?!

I like the idea of creating a wall with vintage botanical pictures (pick up a second hand 'flora and fauna' book here to create similar). I also love the painting in the middle of the mirror, I've never seen that before, have you?!

Is there anything that stands out to you?

A few other ideas to steal from Annie's home: outroom - this (one-off) zinc sink is similar or source a custom made one here, pick up a vintage demi-john glass bottle here. Dining room - Tulip table with marble top. Bedroom: stonewashed white linen bedding.

Other beautiful places to stay (hey, there's no reason why we can't do a tour right?!...) include a rural hotel in Portugal, a log cabin in The Netherlands, and a boho cottage in Byron Bay. Do you have any tips?

Have a wonderful day!
