Venue Setting

With sea views and direct access to Calabernardo Beach, this perfectly positioned villa is an idyllic Sicilian getaway. Designed with indoor-outdoor living in mind, there’s a delightfully cool open-plan living and dining room that gives way to a covered terrace – it was our favourite spot to take coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening, accompanied by long, languid dinners with the sound of the waves in the background. This home makes the most of the glorious sunlight with whitewashed walls, while the colourful pieces of furniture, bold art inspired by the coastal location, and a seafoam green terrazzo floor in the kitchen add a touch of playfulness. After admiring Baroque architecture and tucking into impeccable seafood in the city of Noto, a fifteen-minute drive away, return to your garden – it makes for the most peaceful spot to indulge in a cat nap. What are holidays for if not surreptitious sleeps in the sunshine, after all?

Venue Features
The scene:
Beach Blanket Babylon Notting Hill is an old English Mansion in the heart of the Royal borough. The venue is divided on four different floor levers and is very popular for its interiors and various fireplaces with six active fireplaces in the bar and restaurant.

The restaurant occupies various spaces, all of which are interconnected by walkways, tunnels, bridges and staircases, with names such as The Chapel, Gallery, Scullery and Crypt, aptly describing each space. Spoilt with choice, guests can dine for either brunch, lunch and dinner, with sumptuous and seasonal menus.

Where to Drink (And Eat) When It’s Too Cold to Do Anything Outside
True fact: The one thing it is absolutely never too cold outside for is a warming, delicious drink. And boy, do we have some good places where you can get just such a thing. Need a little something to nosh while you’re de-chilling with said drink? We’ve got plenty of options for that too. From a taste bud centric Chinese restaurant in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood to an old fashioned wine bar in London to a Stockholm restaurant that exclusively uses wood fire to cook, we’re seeking to warm you up on the chilliest of days. Whether you’re dreading winter in Paris, NYC, Amsterdam, Chicago or elsewhere, we’ve got you covered. Reporter: Alyssa Brown
