• Eyes on Italian hotels . "Back in the 1980s, when everyone was going to Chianti on villa holidays, few of us had even heard of Puglia. A decade later, word got out about the southern Italian region of fertile red earth, gnarled olives, turquoise seas, beautiful trulli and pioneering masseria hotels. All of a sudden, Puglia was proclaimed the New Tuscany – a little before it was ready. But in the aftermath of such hype, it has come into its own, maturing quietly and steadily out of the limelight."..."Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials." Kolla in dem HÄR hotelltipsen du med.

• Book recommendation. I sin debutbok visar trädgårdsdesignern Sean A Pritchard hur du planerar en trädgård så att det varje månad på året finns något vackert att ta med inomhus. Från den tidiga påskliljan till sensommardahlior. Sean förklarar hur man odlar, skördar och tar hand om blommor i hemmet - oavsett storleken på din tomt eller din nivå av trädgårdserfarenhet. Vacker, inspirerande, charmig och personlig. Läs mer om boken HÄR .

• My type of cover. "For the cover of the April 15, 2024, issue, the cartoonist Peter de Sève set out to implore readers to look closely at the details and the animals that emerge as the weather gets warmer. De Sève’s image includes various well-known winged species, such as bluebirds and mourning doves, and a few made-up avian creatures—and even a feline figure."
