Running away to Kauai

Thanks to our friends Samuel Elkins and Allegra Rose B. for these great pictures of one of our favorite homes. They recently traveled to the island of Kauai in Hawaii, where they stayed at the secluded Eco Luxe Longhouse near the tiny historic town of Koloa. The Longhouse is as off-the-beaten-track as you can imagine. […]

Corsica Ferry

Approaching a destination by boat has always been one of our favorite experiences. On our last trip to the Isle of Beauty, we decided to take the Corsica ferry from Marseille to Bastia. We highly recommend approaching this wonderful island this way. The boat left Marseille at 7pm, just enough daylight to enjoy the vanishing […]

The Dome Villas of Lombok

Handmade entirely of bamboo framework with adobe walls and brick exteriors, these dome villas are a marvel of natural construction, animated design and architectural purity. With smooth fluid lines and charmingly peculiar forms, the vision is unique, unconventional and just the kind of adventurous approach to design that we love. A passion project conceived in […]

The Blue Horse Farm: A place to reconnect

The Blue Horse Farm, or Das Blaue Pferd, in Ruppiner Seenland, Germany, is a reminder that a property in any form can be, and often is, an expression of one’s ideals. This is what we like about this enchanting farmhouse owned by Berlin-based artist Elisophie Eulenburg, restored and repurposed into a haven for rest, discovery, resourcing, […]

Casa di Cellole

Casa di Cellole, Tuscany, Italy

Casale di Cellole is a picturesque traditional Tuscan farm that’s been given a gentle contemporary makeover. It’s located in Siena’s Chianti Region, nestled amongst olive groves, vineyards, woodlands and lush gardens. There’s a communal pool and covered barbecue area, but the grounds are composed of five distinct residences that can be rented together or separately! […]

Casa X by Cadaval & Solà-Morales

Synthesis and containment. This is the ethos of how Barcelona and Mexico City-based architects Cadaval & Solà-Morales operate (and incidentally, the name of an award-winning documentary on their work). Cited by Wallpaper magazine as one of the World’s Ten Best and by Architectural Record as one of the Top Ten International Architectural Firms, the award-winning duo […]

Modern Luxury in the Middle of a Lake

Let’s start here: this cabin rental in Rotterdam doesn’t have an address. How’s that for getting lost in nature? Lake Island Cabin sits on an idyllic little island on a lake in Rotterdam, and you’ll have to take a little boat to get there. This is one of the main reasons why Arno Schuurs and […]

Harlosh Black h, Isle of Skye

Meet Harlosh Black h… Located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, with sweeping views of Loch Bracadale and Cuillin to the east and Macleod’s Tables to the west, this holiday letting in the UK takes the drama of the landscape and amplifies it through simple but distinctive design. Clean lines and neutral hues… Black h […]

The Wheelhouse: Huell Howser’s Dream House

Here in California, when something is in your wheelhouse, it’s in that sweet spot, right where you want it to be. We recently added a home called the Wheelhouse to our collection, and it really is that place. A mid-century renovation, located just outside the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park in the laid-back desert […]

Hidden in plain sight: a perfectly restored Fickett home

Edward H. Fickett is a name that is passing through the lips of more and more people in the know as this mid-century architect’s canon of work is resurfacing from… well, plain sight. Think of Edward H. Fickett as the sleeping legend of mid-century modern architecture. Ironically, this architect who became a bit of a brand […]

A Visit to the Kanda House, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka was never on my radar. When I thought of dream locations to travel to, what came to mind were places like Japan, Norway and New Zealand. However, when I was approached by photography co-op Stocksy to pick my ideal warmer-climate travel location to shoot, when it was the dead of winter in most […]

Antiga Biblioteca Almirall

An Affair to Remember

Just 30 minutes from Barcelona’s city center, where the edges become green, lies the quiet stately structure of Antiga Biblioteca Almirall, the old private library of Valentì Almirall. Almirall was an impassioned figure of the Renaixença and considered one of the fathers of Catalanism. A man of letters, he founded Diari Catalanà, the first newspaper […]

A Chef a Day

Aah, food… The great unifier. There will always be someone in the holiday party who prefers to brown by the pool an hour longer, another who considers a four-hour hike an afternoon walk, and that special one who is up by 6am ready for a workout “because it’s the holidays”. But at the table, we […]

Small Personal Museums – Asia

After reading Orhan Pamuk’s Museum of Innocence, we were inspired to find out more about some of the small personal museums he describes in the final chapters. Little spaces all over the world, filled with curiosities and objects of wonder – they’re often off the beaten track and a little eccentric. But, in our opinion, […]

A Portuguese village reimagined as an architectural hotel

This massive 19th-century estate in the Alentejo was reborn under the watchful eye of the original family, with the vision of architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. Named 2016’s “Most Bucolic Escape” by Monocle — that’s only half the story of this extraordinary farmscape hotel set in a wild corner of the Alentejo. Located in the […]

Antonioni’s Dome

As you know, we love homes. They come in all shapes and sizes, and some of them even tell great stories. We recently stumbled upon an interesting tale – that of a dome-shaped home created in 1969 for Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni. So we decided to share the story of Antonioni’s Dome… Antonioni was one of […]

At BoutiqueHomes, we are passionate about accommodation that goes beyond the mundane, and we love hearing about hotels and homes that try something completely new. Here’s a great concept: The Grätzlhotel in Vienna, a hotel made up of shopfronts scattered throughout the city. In 2012, a group of Viennese architects and their business partners decided […]
