Samokatus Hotels

Steeped in retro-industrial charm, this West London boutique hotel features 237 stylishly compact rooms and a vibrant lobby hotspot. Guests can savor fiery Thai-American fusion cuisine at Chet’s diner and enjoy being steps away from the iconic O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire.

A restored 14–15th‑century riverside villa turned luxury hotel set in manicured gardens just outside Florence, Villa la Massa is repeatedly praised for its heartfelt, proactive staff, exceptional cuisine and serene poolside atmosphere. Many guests highlight personalised touches — anniversary/upgrades — and an efficient shuttle service to Florence, making it a top pick for romantic stays and special occasions.
