The Sybarite checks into Calcot & Spa for a blissful 24 hour reset amid stunning Cotswolds countryside.
Ensconced within 220 acres of rolling Cotswolds countryside, Calcot & Spa is a true rural retreat. Set in the picturesque market town of Tetbury my unadulterated state of relaxation began long before I floated to the spa, housed in a separate honey-hued building from the main hotel.

Why Rome is the Ultimate Solo Travel Destination in 2025
Rome in 2025 feels like a city holding its breath. The new Pope, Leo XVI, has just stepped into the spotlight, casting a fresh light on an ancient stage. For those travelling solo, this year offers a rare kind of stillness amid the usual bustle. Walk Rome’s streets alone and you’ll find the city doesn’t mind. It whispers history in every corner – emperors and artists, saints and rebels – making solitude feel less like loneliness and more like company. This year, the Jubilee adds a new layer. The Holy Doors at St Peter’s Basilica have swung open, and crossing their threshold feels like stepping into a story that’s been waiting for you. Beyond the Vatican’s spiritual heart, Rome is full of intimate moments perfectly suited to solo travellers. Mornings can be spent with Bernini’s sculptures or Caravaggio’s paintings, afternoons wandering the peaceful lanes of the Jewish Ghetto or climbing Janiculum Hill for picturesque views. Evenings find you in neighbourhood trattorias where a glass of wine and a bowl of cacio e pepe are company enough. The Jubilee also means special exhibitions, concerts and less crowded paths through the Vatican Museums. Arrive early to hear the faint Gregorian chants echoing from the basilica, a reminder that in this city, history and the present moment are inseparable.
