“So this idea of memory, it's very interesting because when you enter a specific space, when you get to a specific location, it's this idea that the house should bring you back to this long term memory. Giving you this feeling of comfort and of confidence as well because you've known this place for a long time.”We’re in great company with João Rodrigues, Founder and Owner of Silent Living - a lifestyle of happiness and fulfillment that he pursues through a curated collection of stays

“It's an incredibly, emotive experience I think, to just watch your food being cooked over fire. We've been cooking over fire for thousands of years as humans, and in some respects, it just gives you that atavistic feel and it's very basic. But at the same time, to do it to the standard that our chef is doing it to is extremely skillful.” We’re in great company with Amber Pledge, who with her husband Charlie, recently founded Kabn Company, Scotland’s first luxury, regenerative, social

“There was so much thought that went into the textures, the finishes, the views, everything. We'd wake up in the middle of the night and ask, what do you think about that? And we'd both be awake thinking about all these ideas. So there was so much love and care that went into it from both of us.” We’re in great company with Katie & Rom Lamaro, the husband and wife duo who picked up their family and settled into what was at the time, a rundown “Five Acre” patch of property on Phillip

“My life story and career has had a lot of twists and turns. I think just starting super young,I knew I wanted to create something, to build something, to ultimately to start a business and be an entrepreneur. It just took me a long while to figure out what that was and what the thing was that I truly loved and was passionate about. All of the different aspects of my path have influenced and led to what's become Onera and a true passion for building very unique experiential and landscape

And then visitors are coming to be a part of that. So we were really drawn to what a unique location that was, to not separate the agricultural side from the experiential side.” We’re in great company with Kyle & Katina Connaughton, the husband and wife duo behind SingleThread Farms, a bespoke hospitality experience earning

“So my passion for wine got deeper. I was fascinated about the whole production here in the new world, because the new world is different. You see the people and the tourism and the wineries with huge passion. Everybody loves to talk about the wine they produce because they put their whole soul in it. And if you do a wine tasting maybe in France or in Italy, it's different, they have a different kind of manner to show what they are doing. In Mendoza, you will really be blown away about the

“It's a lot different than going to a museum. You can't touch anything in a museum, you are there for an hour and you probably get bored if you're like me. The cool thing about a lot of our houses - I think 10 out of 12 are owned by the original families and many of them live on site - so there’s a good chance that you're going to get to meet Lord and Lady Howard, or The Earl of Sandwich or The Duke of Buccleuch, right? They're cool people, they've got an incredible story to

“What is essential is the hosting, is how you meet your guests, like having a dinner party. Either you set up the date, you buy the food and serve it, or you take days in preparing how the flowers are going to be, how the music is going to sound. Seeing that whole little journey of senses and touch points. And that for me is completely the same as staging a production in a theater.” As we celebrate the festivities of the holidays with family and friends, we’re in great company with Alexander Kølpin,

They see what that produces and the value in doing it the way that we do it. I think a lot of people take that home with them. That's an experience that really can transform the way you do things when you learn where your food comes from.” We’re in great company with Barb Phillips, Owner of The Lodge at Blue Sky, a member of

We really want you to come and feel relaxed, almost as if you are in a different age. People will come and say it's like stepping into an Agatha Christie novel, and that to me is a sign of success.” We’re in great company with Steve O’Sullivan, Owner of the Haweswater Hotel, an Art Deco hotel he happened upon and meticulously restored to

That actually makes people understand the reality of what we are in today, rather than worry about the symptoms that they are feeling.” We’re in great company with Vickum Nawagamuwage, Founder of Santani Wellness in the serene Kandy setting of his native Sri Lanka
