Happy Thursday Hidden Gem Travel community! The office continues to be busy with clients heading off for summer vacations and consultations for upcoming trips later this year and into 2026 – no, it’s not too early to for a call.
PSA – Already, this summer has been challenging between the heat in Europe and issues with the airlines. When you book a trip on your own, you don’t have the caring support I provide my clients and run the risk of having to sort unexpected events on your own when you’re trying to relax and enjoy.
Onto the topic of this newsletter, the July/August issue of Virtuoso Magazine is out, and as usual is chock-full of travel inspiration. A subscription is a gift I give my clients (you can’t buy it on a newstand). If you don’t receive it by snail mail, and are a client, email me to get on the list.
Read on for the scoop and a link to the digital magazine – perhaps you’ll be inspired to reach out to me about brainstorming your next amazing vacation…
Amazing Hotels & Resorts
The theme of this issue of Virtuoso Magazine is luxury hotels, resorts included. I wholeheartedly agree with a quote in the magazine, “a great hotel (resort) can make an entire vacation.” I know this from client feedback and my personal experience.
Destinations highlighted incude…
- Gstaad, Switerland
- Lake Como, Italy
- West Coast Ireland
- Budapest, Hungary
- Victoria, Canada
- Santa Barbara, California
- Much more!
>> Fun coincidence – on the day the magazine arrived, I booked an Italy & Croatia yacht cruise on the newest ship for the Ritz Carlton Yacht Colllection. The ship is highlighted in the middle of the magazine! This lucky couple is going to have an unforgettable trip – it’s a 5-star hotel on a small ship!
