Luxury Travel: Getting What You Paid For

Those of you who prefer the hustle and bustle of city life, and feel that a holiday is not a holiday without sampling the local nightlife, obviously your choice would be one of the many luxury apartments or condos right in the center of all the activity.

If Paris is your choice of destination, then consider 201 St Germaine, which is situated on the left bank of the Seine. This apartment boasts 2,585 square feet of pure luxury. Every modern convenience is available, and, if that isn’t enough, you also have a concierge to cater to your every need at any time of the day or night! The Louvre and Orsay are within walking distance, as is Joel Robuchon’s L’Atelier.

Now if you really want to get away from it all to relax, and you decide that a holiday in Italy is just the thing for you, then The Belvedere Residence is the place for you. This lavish villa is situated on top of a hill in Coreglia Antelminelli in the Italian countryside – an absolutely perfect place to enjoy the slow pace of rustic Tuscan life.

This spectacular home has its own heated pool, every modern convenience you could wish for, a fantastic garden, as well as a beautiful 360 degree view of the Tuscan countryside. Although there are excellent restaurants close by, where you can sample and enjoy the local cuisine, you also have the option of having a local chef come and cook for you in your own kitchen! As with most great Italian food, all your meals will be made from only the freshest, local ingredients.
