A casual aperitivo with Italian soccer legends

The world has been collectively huddled around a TV during June and July, beers in hand, as the World Cup waged on. Grown men shed tears as Neymar and Messi showed they were merely demigods, not actual gods, and Brits and Croatians screamed over penalty kicks.

How much would you pay to hang out with your favorite World Cup player? Could you even put a price on it? Family-run Baglioni Hotels, a luxury Italian line, is banking on that fervor as it rolls out its new Assoluto Signature Programme—a set of VIP experiences that gives guests of select Rome and Milan hotels the chance to hang out with Italian soccer legends (along with a dozen other behind-the-velvet-rope-type outings). By checking into a Signature Suite at Baglioni Hotel Regina in Rome, pictured, or Baglioni Hotel Carlton in Milan (rates start at €2,500 for two nights), soccer fans have access to the Baglioni’s Rolodex (what’s the modern Rolodex—iPhone contacts?) of friends, starting with World Cup heroes Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Del Piero, who helped lead Italy to a FIFA world championship in 2006, and “beautiful Antonio” himself, Antonio Cabrini, who played on the 1982 World Cup–winning team. If you want to have an aperitivo in your suite with the guys, or play a round of golf, or check out Pirlo’s winery, Baglioni can help with that. (Price available upon request, but assume it’ll be more than your plane ticket over.)

The Assoluto experiences don’t stop at soccer—they also deliver access to artists, musicians, designers, and chefs. You can ask for a private concert by Italian opera-pop trio Il Volo, a look inside the Versace atelier in Milan, or a session with one of Italy’s oldest watchmaking families. You can even ask well-known portrait photographer Claudio Porcarelli how he got Harrison Ford to sit for him. The suites are no joke, either, complete with shades of cream and gold, chandeliers and chaises, and terraces perfect for a setting sun and a debate with legends over who’s the GOAT.

The philosophy in Norway seems to be: If you must build something, build it with style.

Stigrøra (top of Trollstigen) and the architecture of the facilities for visitors are spectacular. The philosophy in Norway seems to be: If you must build something, build it with style. And Lindås

Los Jameos Del Agua – Punta De Mujeres, Spain

Los Jameos Del Agua on Lanzarote found a champion in locally born architect, César Manrique.

Manrique was a dedicated protector and champion of the unique geology of the island and lobbied successfully for strict building regulations to protect it from those horrible high rises that blight so many warm weather destinations in Europe.

Consequently, the vast majority of buildings on the island are tasteful low-slung whitewashed structures which create a great contrast with the surrounding environment. That along with a famous Grand Canaria #architect Fernando Navarro, who built this three story family home in the centre of Las Palmas in the 1800s.

The Azores may be reminiscent of the British Isles but the architecture is all #Portugal.

The landscape of the Azores may be reminiscent of the British Isles but the architecture is all #Portugal.

Though they’re sparsely populated and feel quite remote and isolated feeling, the islands are actually only two hours by plane from mainland Portugal and four from the east coast of USA. Years ago flights between #Barbados and the UK had to stop here to refuel.

Bordeaux | A great fusion of big city life but contained in a village-like atmosphere – Gordon Ramsay

Bordeaux is the wine capital of the world, renowned for its rich history, generated by 800 years of viticulture, commerce and trade. But these days, there’s much more to this city than lush vineyards and delicious grapes.

Surf Camp Bali to Norway

Biarritz Surfing the Basque Coast

Known by many surfers as the “French California,” Biarritz is just a 20 minute drive from Spain along France’s Basque coast. The city boasts truly world-class surfing, is home to the European headquarters of major surf labels including Quicksilver and Billabong, and plays host to the Quiksilver/Roxy Jam surf tournament each year—so it’s not surprising that surfers flock there in search of the perfect wave. Local Marty Dupont was born and raised in Biarritz and has been involved in surfing culture since childhood. The 28-year-old now owns two businesses that revolve around the sport and its enviable lifestyle: a DIY surfboard-shaping shop called Blank Surf Shack and his rental service, Marty Surf Delivery which hires out boards to travelers and rookies who aren’t quite ready to commit to their own surfboard.
