“The Great Butterfly of the Sea”

Favignana, at the centre of the Egadi Islands, is a hidden gem off Sicily’s western coast, offering a perfect blend of unspoiled nature, crystal-clear waters, and authentic Italian charm. With its fascinating history, rugged landscapes, secluded beaches, and some of the best seafood in the Mediterranean, Favignana is a true Italian escape.

The perfect time to visit Favignana and the Egadi archipelago is September, with warm sea temperatures, a pleasant breeze, and a thinning of the summer crowds.

From the iconic conical roofs of traditional trulli to beautifully restored masserie, Puglia's architecture is unlike anywhere else in Italy. Originally built to support the region's agricultural communities, many trulli still stand today, particularly in the old town centre of UNESCO-listed Alberobello, where their distinctive whitewashed forms have become synonymous with Puglia itself. Historic masserie and casine also reflect the region's rural heritage, but on a grander scale, and many of these former manor houses and country estates have been carefully restored for modern living.

With a spectacular coastline, exceptional cuisine, and timeless landscapes, it's a destination best experienced from the comfort of a luxurious villa.

Late Season Stays in the Ionian Islands...

Beyond the height of summer, the Ionian Islands take on a different character. Warm days, crystal-clear seas, and fewer visitors make September and October a wonderful time to explore. From the coastline of Zakynthos to the emerald mountains of Lefkada and the secluded coves of Meganissi, each island offers its own distinct character.

Meet Teresa, one of the incredible Local Specialists in our Puglian team.

Teresa is born and bred in Puglia, and hails from the ancient hilltop town of Putignano, in the beautiful Valle D’Itria, and has been sharing her passion for Puglia with our guests for the past three years. For Teresa, a visit to Puglia wouldn’t be complete without visiting the three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Alberobello, Matera, and Castel del Monte. Alongside this, Teresa recommends that guests explore the local countryside and enjoy the wildflowers, rosemary and oregano.

While not specifically Puglian, Teresa recommends that everyone try Cedrata Tassoni, a non-alcoholic Italian sparkling citrus drink with a sweet-and-sour taste, made with natural essential oils extracted from “Diamante” citrons grown in Calabria.

Corfu offers a captivating blend of history, natural beauty, and refined island living. From olive-clad hillsides and secluded coves to vibrant waterfronts and timeless villages, the island moves at a gentle pace, inviting long days spent exploring, swimming, and savouring the Mediterranean way of life.⁠

At the heart of the island lies Corfu Town, where UNESCO-listed streets weave between elegant Venetian architecture, charming cafés, and bustling squares. History lovers can step inside the Achilleion Palace, the magnificent former retreat of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, while those drawn to the sea will find crystal-clear waters at Agios Spiridon Beach. For leisurely afternoons, Igera Beach Bar is the ideal spot for a long lunch with sea views, and Corfu Harbour provides the perfect starting point for discovering the island's beautiful coastline by boat.⁠

With direct flights from the UK throughout the rest of summer and autumn, Corfu is effortlessly accessible, making it an ideal destination for both short escapes and longer stays.

Greece in Autumn is idyllic, with unhurried sightseeing, wine harvests, pleasant temperatures, and a perfectly warm sea.

“In September and early October, the sea is still warm from the summer sun, and swimming feels even more special without the summer crowds. The locals have more time to converse with you - it’s not unusual in a restaurant or taverna to see the cook come out to sit with customers, or to be treated with special recipes that they now have the time to experiment with and create. Evenings bring that perfect breeze where a light sweater feels just right, and you have time to savour the glowing sunsets.” - Anna Deimezi, Co Founder ⁠
