Ina Yulo Stuve found rest and rejuvenation at Anantara Villa Padierna Palace. Read her honest verdict below...

Birds whistle as they flit through the twisted vines above us. There’s a cool breeze as the Andalusian sun is kept at bay by the coral-hued palace walls. We’re enjoying breakfast on the terrace at Anantara Villa Padierna Palace, part of the Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas brand, which was originally designed in the style of the aristocratic palazzos in Tuscany and Venice.

Beguiling Boston

14th January 2026

The year was 1908. A man whose skintight garb might have placed him, sartorially speaking, squarely in the realm of the modern day ‘middle-aged man in lycra’, jumped into the Charles River from the Harvard Bridge, bound in padlocked chains. Watched by a crowd of cheering onlookers, he freed himself in less than a minute.

Seville Is The Perfect Pre-Christmas Escape - Here's Why

12th December 2025

Orange trees still hold their late fruit and Christmas lights brighten the shopping avenues from the first week of December. The low sun softens the courtyards of palaces and convents, giving the city a gentler mood than in high season. It’s an excellent moment to arrive: calm, unhurried and refreshingly free of spring crowds.
