Blackberry Farm, Tennessee
Idyllic in setting, old-fashioned in ambiance, Blackberry Farm offers guests a delicious escape from not just their own norm, but today’s hyper pace, as well. Ensconced among 4,200 rolling acres, just miles from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the working farm does everything from re-introduce centuries-old seeds in its organic garden and raise pigs to offer Orvis-approved fly fishing and a wine cellar with over 170,000 bottles, many of them quite rare.
Monteverdi, Tuscany, Italy
At the top of a hill, affording sweeping views of Tuscany’s stunning Val d’Orcia below, Monteverdi Tuscany is not just a boutique hotel and villa property, but rather an intimate part of a small, ancient Borgo complete with consecrated chapel and an Etruscan ruin. If authenticity is what you’re after, look no further than Monteverdi, where the original stone structures have been thoughtfully restored and carefully designed by a Roman interiors guru.
Angama Mara, Kenya
Angama Mara is a new safari lodge right on the escarpment overlooking the Mara Triangle in Kenya. It’s a new type of Safari yet led and built by some of the wisest and most experienced in the business.
