Vacation fantasies

During this dreary weekend (what is with all this rain?), I've been parked on my sofa, drooling over the Mr. and Mrs. Smith website. Their hotels are ridiculously amazing. Ridiculous. (You can also create a honeymoon registry, which I think is brilliant.) My favorites...

Loving these lush gardens and sparkling pool in Provence.

How rad would it be to stroll up to this Paris hotel and its funny hats?

You could sip wine and watch the sunset at a 900-year-old castello in Tuscany...

...or make friends with elephants, take outdoor showers and drink cocktails under glowing trees at a South African resort.

Where would you want to go? :)

  26. The safari in South Africa followed by a stroll through the lavender fields in Provence... Or better yet - a six month vacation visiting each one!

    ReplyDelete

  27. These photos are killing me. Each one is more painfully beautiful than the next. Now I'll be daydreaming of vacations for days.

    ReplyDelete

  28. This post gave me goosebumps! All the photos are absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I have been bitten hard by the travel bug! I have been fortunate to stay in a 300 year old villa in Tuscany but that one is far more beautiful. The South Africa photos are like something out of a dream. xo Ally

  29. Thanks for a great post - you picked the best places!

    @Heather - if you are up for a bit of adventure, you should definitely consider an African safari for your honeymoon - that's what we did and it was incredible. Marataba is the lodge pictured here - in the Western Limpopo which is stunning but also consider the Kruger National Park in South Africa (amazing wildlife, no malaria and so easy to get to).
