Our wonderful visitors

In our serene and beautiful headquarters in Stockholm we love getting visits from our hotel partners – and they love visiting us.

“Leija, bravo, I vote you THE BEST luxury travel headquarters worldwide, from LA over New York to Tokyo. And a team you can be very proud of.”
A comment last week by a luxury hotel chain after a visit to Select Collection

 

Recently we have had a lot of meetings, to negotiate special offers for our valued clients and to keep up to date on developments at our hotels.

Espresso, cappuccino or the very best in teas make these meetings especially enjoyable.

Here are our latest visitors to Select, celebrating our great relationship and creating some inviting offers for our valued clients.

Nino & Moreno, representing Borgo Egnazia

 

Borgo Egnazia is a wonderful hotel in Italy, showcasing a new trend in luxury – historic villages exquisitely renovated to become ultra-luxury resorts.

The hotel lies in Puglia or Apulia, a "very Italian" area on the heel of Italy. The resort is done in an understated way using white chalk stone and neutral colors.

 

 Beige, cream and white. Very elegant




Chalk stone, blue sky and sunny comfort
 

Beach club

Select has been there of course, and we love it! This is top luxury in every way, and you also have the option to enjoy ordinary Italian life too nearby...

The seaside village of Savelletri is a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. There are a few restaurants but we liked Saporedisale:

Friendly service, great local food and people watching

 

Even closer: 1 km from the hotel is a B&B owned by the hotel, Masseria Cimino. The food is rustic, local, authentic and only €40 per person for 4-5 courses. A must!



TRAVELLING FOR PERFECTION.

We travel a lot! All year round you will find me or Select staff out there travelling to get hot tips and personal experiences from all our hotels and destinations. So we can better design superb holidays for our valued customers.

Take a look at some of the Select Collection travel blogs from our summer travels in Europe in the last couple of weeks:

In Spain hot news:

Top luxury has come all the way from Dubai to Mallorca: Jumeirah Port Soller clings to a cliff with brilliant views of sea and mountains

In Greece:

Amanzoe – awe inspiring like an ancient Greek temple. We were there for a preview – it opens only on 1 September.

One of the best beaches in Greece at the Romanos Costa Navarino - Select sales consultant Anki steps down to the long sands and clear water

Kyrimai in a fantastic seafront location perched on the rocks, visited by a team from all our offices.

Poseidonion Grand on Spetses, a hidden gem among the Greek islands – no charter here.

Meanwhile in Italy we have just been to new resorts in Tuscany and in the hot and sunny South:

Castiglion del Bosco – a superbly renovated medieval “borgo” village with church and belltower

Brand new Castello di Casole in a 10th century hilltop castle and "borgo" with stunning views

On the sunny heel of Italy Borgo Egnazia is another winner, also built like a traditional village

Villa Mangiacane is a 15th century villa among vineyards and roses only 12 km from Florence

Views to die for on the sunny Amalfi Coast. Above: like floating between sky and sea at Hotel Caruso

And Caesar Augustus on romantic and beautiful Capri - not for those afraid of heights
