Casa Talia: A Journey into Slow Living
Kristýna Jandová discovers a slower pace of life in the heart of Modica, Sicily. Below, read her review of boutique hotel, Casa Talia.
There exists a quiet dream whispered by the soul of every city dweller: to trade the concrete rush for the rhythm of nature, to replace the digital glow with the warmth of the sun.

The Quiet Luxury of NOŪS Santorini
15th September 2025
I thought I knew Santorini. The cliffside sunsets, the whitewashed houses, the crowded lanes of Oia. Then I arrived at NOŪS. Within an hour the caldera view, once the island’s star attraction, faded into the background. This is not about chasing postcard clichés, it is about slipping into a slower rhythm, where design, light, and atmosphere quietly coax you into staying a little longer.

Mayan Magic at Chablé Maroma
27th August 2025
A 10 minute drive down a meandering dirt road off the main road from Cancun to Tulum takes you to Chablé Maroma's lobby: an airy pavilion with swinging chairs setting the tone for a bohemian-chic stay. Marrying style and substance, Chablé Maroma is a truly spiritual spot, as we discovered through a mascal energy cleansing ritual at the spa during our hotel tour. Carried out by the hotel’s resident Mayan shaman against a soundtrack of bells, a sound bowl, and blowing through a conch, the air thick with copal incense. With the aim to connect you to the ground and sky, leave behind your worries and surrender yourself to a restorative stay.

South Tyrol: Get Straight To The Heart Of This Mountain...
4th August 2025
When you have a cantilevered infinity pool in your sights — jutting straight out of the mountainside and towards the castle ruins, opposite — there’s nothing unreasonable about wanting to land and reach your accommodation as swiftly as possible. Fortunately, SkyAlps has upped its summer offering, increasing from two flights per week to three. Which means that I can fly directly from Gatwick to Bolzano, located in South Tyrol, northern Italy. From there, it’s just a 30-minute drive to our hotel, Der Waldhof, part of the Belvita Leading Wellness Hotels Sudtirol group. Before SkyAlps was founded in 2021, visitors to the region would have needed to fly to Milan, Venice, Verona or Innsbruck —each of which requires a lengthy transfer.
