ONE&ONLY AESTHESIS: Greece

One&Only Aesthesis is a newcomer to the Athenian Riviera, a glamorous coastal destination in the southern suburbs of Greece’s capital city. And the resort’s residences may just be the Riviera’s most glamorous accommodations. The two- and three-bedroom retreats are surrounded by forest and overlook the Aegean. 

Their breezy design incorporates an indoor-outdoor style that celebrates the stunning natural surroundings. Private pools, gardens and terraces provide the utmost relaxation. Inside, natural textures, stone and a keen inclination for mid-century modern design contribute to an overall feeling of tranquility. Each residence, whether with a view of leafy manicured gardens or the sparkling ocean, is a veritable Mediterranean oasis.

EDGEWOOD VILLA SUITES: Lake Tahoe, USA

These sprawling, two- to five-bedroom residences sit just beside the main lodge, or on the eighth and ninth fairways of Edgewood’s famed golf course. Part of the beauty of Edgewood is that there’s no bad time to visit.

In the summer, the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe await, with numerous water sports to choose from — paddleboarding, kayaking, boating, et. al. In the winter, you’ll have seamless access to world-class ski mountains. Regardless of when you visit, Edgewood’s Villa Suites more than deliver. The alpine-chic spaces boast giant windows framing unbeatable views of the surrounding mountain landscape. Private patios (which are heated) come with jacuzzis, firepits and there are family s’more kits. 

There are modern kitchens and cozy dining rooms. But if you don’t feel like grocery shopping, not to worry: You’ll have access to hyper-personal service when staying in a Villa Suite.

The word “house” doesn’t quite do this residence collection justice. Rocco Forte House, which overlooks Rome’s famed Piazza di Spagna, is in fact an 18th-century palazzo with five apartments. Each expansive space comes with a dining room, a living room, a beautiful modern kitchen and two double bedrooms. Some of the apartments can even be connected to form four-bedroom residences. 

Located in an 18th-century palazzo overlooking Piazza di Spagna, Rocco Forte House redefines luxury in Rome. Each of the five expansive apartments showcases stylish interiors curated by renowned designer Tommaso Ziffer. Bespoke services include a dedicated House Concierge and access to the exclusive amenities of the nearby Hotel de la Ville, along with private chef options for in-house dining.

Expect stylish minimalism and clean, Japanese-inflected interior design: lots of wood, symmetry, muted colors and a pervasive tranquil vibe.

Castello di Reschio’s eight stunning residences are, in fact, meticulously restored farmhouses. Their Umbrian countryside setting feels like a dream, which is made only more dreamlike as you enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast sourced from Reschio’s own property.  

I'll help you choose the best house for you and your travel companions. Consider Tisciano, for instance, which has its own aromatic garden filled with lavender, thyme, fennel and pomegranate trees. Or perhaps the hilltop Grugliano is more your style, with its more homey, traditional décor, bocce court and covered loggia equipped with a bread oven and barbeque. Bell’Aria is another excellent choice; Italian elegance mixes with English charm. The luxury is dialed up with its on-site tennis court, sleek swimming pool and array of outdoor lounges and outdoor.

Renowned architects Manolo Mestre and Juan Collignon designed the open-air residence. A thatch-roofed palapa stands in its center, where you’ll be able to enjoy fresh food on a locally made wooden table. There are two beautiful pools, including one with 150 feet of an infinity edge.

Magee Homestead at Brush Creek: Saratoga, Wyoming

Brush Creek Ranch is a 30,000-acre ranch in Saratoga, Wyoming. It comprises three properties, one of which is the adults-only Magee Homestead. Although, kids are allowed if you want to buy out the entire property. There are nine rustic-chic cabins with between one and three bedrooms.

A stay at Magee would not be complete without visiting its holistic spa — if not for a treatment, then at least for a session in the sauna, steam room or outdoor jacuzzi. It’s the perfect way to recover after a day of outdoor adventures. The ranch is all-inclusive, and the included activities range from fly fishing and rock climbing to forest bathing and archery. 

The food, too, is included — and excellent. Produce is sourced from the ranch’s greenhouse, best enjoyed with a selection from Magee’s robust wine and spirits menu. And during the summer months, take advantage of poolside cocktail experiences, like tequila and beer tastings, Champagne sabering and mixology classes.

Novel Bookings Perks: $150 hotel / resort credit per person & an upgrade whenever possible.


Villa San Luigi, COMO Castello Del Nero: Tuscany, Italy

If you’ve fantasized about having your own private villa in the Tuscan countryside, you’re not alone. And, luckily, dreams do come true. COMO Castello Del Noro’s five-bedroom Villa San Luigi is a short drive away from the hotel property. It feels private and special, but not too far removed from the hotel’s five-star amenities. Once you go through your private check-in process, you may never want to leave. Nor will you have to.
