This entire coastline encompasses all the key desirables of any family-trip: culture, cuisine, hospitality and entertainment.

How about Nicaragua, Galapagos, Iceland, Havana and Fiji? To top off the list let’s set sail from Lisbon, family on tow, aiming straight for New York and abruptly settling 1500km into our journey, in the remote Portuguese archipelago consisting of nine volcanos called The Azores. We find our family walking through a 10,000-year-old lava tunnel, whale-watching and surfing the swell blasts from the North Atlantic. Sweet!

GROWING FASHION AT GUCCI GARDEN

Interactive exhibitions, bazaars, and Gucci cuisine in the Palazzo della Mercanzia “Travelling the world, our kitchen interacts with everything we see, hear and taste.” ––Chef Massimo Bottura

Within a garden that imaginatively explores the creativity of Gucci, Creative Director Alessandro Michele has curated wide ranging pieces dating all the way back to the genesis of the Florentine house in 1921. But the garden is much more than a museum, delivering a rich, interactive experience as alive as the eclectic inspirations of the brand including memorabilia, ephemera and contemporary art, then goes beyond these touchstones to include a bazaar-like retail space and unique culinary experience. Enjoy Chef Massimo Bottura’s intimate restaurant, Gucci Osteria, featuring an entirely new menu which takes its inspiration from his three-Michelin-star Osteria Francescana in Modena and the history of cultural exchange in Renaissance Florence.

FRIGID BEAUTY : GREENLAND The world’s largest island, Greenland is home to a spectacular backdrop of icebergs and icefjords, of which the Ilulissat icefjord is perhaps the most famous. A remarkable natural phenomenon, the UNESCO World Heritage listed icefjord has a stunning array of icebergs delivered here by a glacier at a speed of about 35 meters per day. Some of these can be up to 30 meters high and are simply breathtaking to look at. Aside from the ice in the centre, the terrain also includes dry Arctic desert in the northern fringe and belts of green in the south. Photograph by Daniel Kordan

Bastide Des Virettes Cote D’Azur, France Sitting pretty in the hills of Provence, this stunning stone villa is steeped in romance, filled with rare antiques, and expertly staffed. The fragrant medieval village of Tourrettes-Sur-Loup is a stone’s throw away. Aptly named the village of violets, the delicate floral scent blends beautifully with the salt air sweeping in from the Mediterranean. Well-tended gardens and terraces relax around the four-bed home, inviting al-fresco suppers and starlit swims in the 15-meter pool hewn into the rock.

Open plan interiors capture a beautiful baroque feel, punctuated with well-collected wood furnishings and artworks from across France. A children’s playroom and double kitchen make it an idyllic family retreat, along with a private entourage of a chef, nanny and concierge to make your visit run like a dream. Upstairs, four elegant bedrooms dressed in pastel shades invite easy sleeps. The master bedroom boasts a marble bathroom, French doors and balcony views that sweep across the sea. scottdunn.com/luxury-holidays

My recommendations…

People travelling to São Paulo should certainly visit MASP – Museu de Arte de São Paulo (Museum of Art of São Paulo), designed by the Italian-born, Brazilian-based mid-century architect Lina Bo Bardi. The works in their private collection are exhibited in chronological order, and displayed so that the backs of each painting can be seen because they are framed between glass sheets, held together by concrete bases. It is a very surprising and innovative way of displaying art!

My travel must-haves…

advancements of the last year, I would say the jewellery world has seen a return to craftsmanship and traditional artisan techniques with an emphasis on the hand. My work is all about this.

My work look…

A simple white kimono-like cotton dress, very comfortable and suited to the heat.

My holiday look…

A beautiful caftan with a gorgeous, vibrant print, and lots of jewellery!

My recommendation on picking up the right jewellery…

Don’t be afraid to wear daring, bold pieces...one has to have fun.

Since launching her brand over 15 years ago, Silvia Furmanovich has become one of the most visionary artists working in fine jewellery today. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, into a line of Italian goldsmiths, her great-grandfather created sacred adornments for the Vatican and her father worked as a goldsmith. As a child, Furmanovich spent hours working beside her father in his atelier.

EPIC SHOPPING IN ISTANBUL Sourcing the best places for instant elegance and refined style. By Kimberly Tan

T

reasure troves of sartorial delight can be found all around Istanbul, whether it’s a smart three-piece suit that has just a touch of whimsy, a classic leather jacket, or custommade shoes that fit you—and your personality—perfectly. We scour the city in search of the bespoke, the best from local designers, and multi-label stores that stock both international and local brands.

ULTRA-PERSONALIZED

Clockwise from top, shopping for designer goods at Louis Vuitton on Nisantasi; Berluti bespoke shoes; handmade crochet necktie from Civan; the interior of Parfum Tasarim

We begin our hunt with the bespoke designers who can curate a wardrobe that is perfect for you and your style. Olga Berluti, while not a local designer, has stores around the world, including in Istanbul. They pride themselves on personalisation, and can custom-make any special orders such as a table soccer set, and of course, create a bespoke pair of shoes and a tailor-made suit. The shoes can be tweaked to suit your personality and preference, such as including a flowered design, initials

or drawings. The final touch is the patina, which might be a very dark “blue-brown” or a brick red, which was worn by Yves Saint Laurent and Jacques Lacan respectively. Prices for a pair of bespoke shoes start from US$6,225. Berluti.com For bespoke suits, one of the leading clothiers in Istanbul is Taji, founded by Tacettin Seker.

Customisation options include fabrics, personal pattern, ideal fit, collars, cuffs, buttons to make the suit one-of-a-kind, and perfectly suited to your lifestyle.

An additional service they offer is to assist you with your packing, ensuring that every single item matches well with others, to ensure you look elegant all the time. They also offer maintenance, renewal and cleaning services. Taji.com Curate an entire wardrobe to your personal style at Civan, where the range includes the usual shirts, trousers etc., but also includes creative accessories in place of the bow and necktie such as a

handmade crochet necktie. Their style is slightly more irreverent, and your choices for a bespoke suit might include vintage fabrics or designs with a touch of humour.

Items from their past and present collections can be made-to-measure and customised (with initials, if you’d like) to your preferences.

Civanistanbul.com Acquire your perfect scent at Parfum Tasarim Atölyesi, which is the main distributor of renowned perfumery brands in Turkey. It features a collection of world-renowned perfume brands like Miller Harris, Maison Francis Kurkdija, Initio, Histoires de Parfums and Acqua di Parma.

Arrange for a private shopping experience, much like the celebrities who visit the store in Nisantasi would. Parfumtasarim.com The last Greek milliner in Istanbul, Madame Katia at Passage Hazzopulo in Beyoğlu has designed hats for Turkey’s famous figures. She handles all the orders June/July 2018 World Travel 53

While you leisurely stroll through the side streets of this cultural edifice, be sure to make time for the kids to take rides on the antique carousel in Piazza della Repubblica.

ROME A myriad of traditional locations such as the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon thrill with rich history. For a new twist, see history come alive at Palazzo Valentini, a museum housed in two patrician villas. Through multimedia the facility recreates an ancient Roman home with smart light shows that morph bare stones into mosaics, baths, furnishings and even a kitchen.

Adults and kids alike will enjoy a visit to Villa Borghese, one of the largest public parks in Rome; featuring museums, a theatre, a lake as well as numerous fountains. Be sure to get tickets to see the Borghese Gallery, filled with wonders by Bernini, Caravaggio, Titian and Raphael.
