and creative energy that pervades this charming Mediterranean port city. Here you can walk from a palm-lined beach to the Barri Gòtic neighborhood and onward to an Art Nouveau–era avenue, all in the course of an afternoon. Indagare Adored Hotel: Cotton House Hotel Don’t Miss: Shopping in the bohemian neighborhood of Gràcia, which is also home to Casa Vicens (Gaudí’s first major commission that will open to the public for the first time this fall). Incorporate a visit to Casa Vicens with a tour of Gaudí’s finest works, including the Sagrada Familia and the Park Güell. Indagare Access: A private, after-hours visit to Casa Milà, one of the best examples of Antoni Gaudí’s unique vision. Indagare can arrange for your guide to be a member of the Milà family, who commissioned Gaudí to build the iconic monument.
The Peloponnese
The pool at the Amanzoe, on the eastern coast of Greece’s Peloponnese.
After visiting the historical sites of Athens and seeing the striking beauty of the Ionian islands, spending time in the peaceful surroundings of the Peloponnese is the perfect conclusion to any Greek vacation. Comprised of lofty peaks, bountiful vineyards and sun-soaked beaches, the history-rich peninsula covers nearly 6,000 square miles of rocky, untamed terrain. Flush with myths and fables (Helen of Sparta called the Peloponnese home), the region is awash with temples, museums and archaeological sites and was even host to the first Olympic Games held in 776 BC. Indagare Adored Hotel: Amanzoe Don’t Miss: Amanzoe’s beach club, which offers three pools (one specifically for children), in addition to a bar, lunch restaurant and water sports. Indagare Access: A private helicopter to shuttle you around the region; gliding over the stunning scenery.
Lake Como
An interior of the 18th-century Villa Balbianello on Lake Como.
Described by poet William Wordsworth as a “treasure whom the earth keeps to herself,” Lake Como is the center of a region that’s both wild and civilized, decadent and low-key, enormous and intimate. From the grand hotels to the flavorful cuisine, life on Lake Como is all about indulgence. Days, too, should be spent soaking in the splendor of the region, whether hiking its dramatic mountains or exploring the opulent villas that line its shores. Indagare Adored Hotel: Il Sereno, which is set to open this August, will be the area’s first luxury property with a contemporary design aesthetic. Don’t Miss: Villa Balbianello, which has interiors filled with the whimsical artifacts (like rare African terracotta masks) left from its former owner Guido Monzino, an explorer and one of the first Italians to climb Mount Everest. The property was also featured in such films as Casino Royale and A Month by the Lake. Indagare Access: The best way to take in Lake Como’s dramatic landscape is by boat. From the water, one can embark on a tour, passing the lake’s most famous villas including those belonging to George Clooney and Richard Branson, as well as the home that was once occupied by Winston Churchill (who was known to paint in the gardens).
Newfoundland
A room at the Fogo Island Inn in Newfoundland.
One of the most remote sections of Canada, Newfoundland, which sits off the northeast coast of Nova Scotia, is closer to Dublin than Calgary. With deeply Irish and English influences, the island has its own culture, which revolves around the magnificent landscape and wild seas. It is also home to one of Canada’s most special hotels, the Fogo Island Inn. Indagare Adored Hotel: Fogo Island Inn Don’t Miss: Ordering a cocktail made with iceberg ice, which supposedly stays frozen longer than average ice cubes Indagare Access: The best way to understand the island is by touring around with a local. Community hosts will share stories about growing up and living on the island, the local economy and what the addition of the Inn has done for the place and its tiny population.
