soulful slow travel in the south of france ✨ provence is one of my favorite places to connect with nature, explore small villages, shop local markets & experience the old world charm of centuries past, especially when you stay at a chateau hotel to equally match

A quiet escape just outside Paris, where gardens, water, and historic elegance set the pace. At Domaine de Primard, days unfold slowly — wandering the grounds, lingering over seasonal meals, sinking into spa rituals, wandering Monet’s gardens nearby at Giverny, and letting the countryside do what it does best: calm everything down.

team stay in or team go out for new years? This year we have no plans, so let’s see where we end up… perhaps a thoughtful home cooked meal at home under candlelight, the projector playing old movies & the record player on jazz vinyls -or- a reservation at one of our favorite restaurants with a chance to get all dressed up and toast to the new year under sparkling chandeliers

There’s something unforgettable about waking up at HOSHINOYA Fuji, tucked above Lake Kawaguchi with Mt. Fuji appearing and disappearing through the clouds. It feels like a modern mountain retreat designed for quiet moments and slow mornings.

The cabins are intentionally minimal—clean lines, warm wood, and huge windows that frame the landscape like artwork. Sunrise hits differently here, with crisp forest air and stillness that makes you want to stay outside a little longer.

One thing I loved is how many daily activities they offer to connect you with the outdoors: early-morning canoeing on the lake, guided forest walks, campfire coffee brewing, smoking workshops, stargazing sessions, and even outdoor cooking classes where you prepare your own meal surrounded by nature. Everything is optional, but it all feels thoughtfully curated.

The restaurant is another highlight—seasonal menus inspired by the local forests and lakes, served in a warm, minimalist dining room or as a private dining experience in your cabin. Fresh produce, smoked elements, and flavors you don’t find anywhere else in the Fuji area.

It’s the kind of place where time slows down, where sunsets stretch longer, and where the simple act of sitting on your terrace becomes the best part of the day. If you want a Fuji stay that’s serene, design-forward, and rooted in nature, this is the one.

Stay in Arashiyama, Kyoto during autumn and you’ll wake up in the middle of a storybook—crimson maples, golden ginkgo trees, and misty mountains wrapping the whole town in color.

From strolling through the famous Bamboo Grove at sunrise, to exploring the vibrant Togetsukyo Bridge, visiting Tenryu-ji Temple, spotting monkeys at Iwatayama Monkey Park, or taking a scenic Hozu River boat ride, everything beautiful is just steps away. It’s the perfect place to slow down, wander, and let autumn in Kyoto sweep you off your feet.
