We first came across Matera, in Puglia, southern Italy (near the boot heel) when we learnt of the Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita hotel (a stunning cave hotel which we quickly added to our bucket list and just as quickly planned a visit to). I had mentioned to my Italian hairdresser (from Naples) that Elldrew …
With so much sunshine around it’s got us thinking about horseplay, and Summer casual footwear of course. The wishlist has just grown with these cute cotton canvas sneakers from Polo. Featuring their signature pony embroidery, leather laces and a sporty striped detail, we are in love with the Museum Grey version. But there is a …

Having done several country house weekends in the UK our favourite, by far, was a few years back when we stayed at …
For anyone visiting the county of Wiltshire (most famously known for the ancient landmark that is Stonehenge), can we recommend you add the village of Lacock to your ‘to-do’ list.
There is something magical about Venice that Elldrew just can’t put their finger on. This beautiful city, made up of 118 small islands, joined by canals and bridges, must be one of man’s greatest building achievements? Yes there are other amazing cities around the globe, but Venice just oozes character and charm, and one can …
Mention the word Tenerife and what springs to mind is a guys and girls party weekend for 18-22 year olds, on par with other destinations such as Ibiza, Faliraki, Aiya Napa and Magaluf (it ain’t tame to say the least). We got a few raised eyebrows when we first looked at heading to Tenerife, but …
