FARAWAY PLACES | OD TALAMANCA - A PERFECT IBIZAN GETAWAY

Talamanca, Ibiza, Spain
 

Telling people that you’re off to Ibiza for the weekend seems to conjure up lots of presumptions and pre-conceived ideas as to what you might be up to, in my experience. But although the Isla Blanca may be the land of the all-night nightclub with a hedonistic history, I personally prefer the hippie history of the island and the chilled vibe which exists in many parts (thankfully) as yet undiscovered by the disco divas.

On this trip, shared with four forty-somethings, we checked into the super smart OD Talamanca Hotel, which is located six miles/10km from the airport on a quiet bay close to Ibiza Town. It is an elegant refuge from the non-stop party atmosphere elsewhere and the impressive first impressions included a tight attention to detail in everything - from the design (interior and exterior) to the wonderfully accommodating and friendly staff as well as a modern menu and creative cocktails.

Designed by Rahola Vidal architects and the interior designer Mayte Matutes, I totally loved the mix of mid-century and modern.  Dry stone walls and sauna-like wood feature heavily outdoors around the pool area, with white walls and large windows throughout the bedroom spaces in the main buildings. Fans of designer chairs will be in heaven with repro Eames, Jacobson and Wegner styles, to name just a few. For me, the walk-in wardrobes of the suites were an incentive to actually unpack – which I don’t always get round to on weekend trips – and the wide, comfortable beds made for easy, relaxing slumbers, way beyond what I’d get on a busy weeknight at home (which is a terribly un-Ibiza thing to say I imagine).

Location, Location: In terms of location, the hotel is at the eastern end of Talamanca Bay, which is about a 5-10min taxi ride or a 30-minute walk east of Ibiza Town. You can walk down to the sea in a couple of minutes. It’s not the prettiest beach in the world, but it is nice for a swim with shallow waters underfoot and soft sand. We loved the Bodega tapas bar down by the beach – I had been there before back in 2014 and it hadn’t changed, with its hipster vibe plus really tasty tapas at very reasonable prices; perfect for a late night flight arrival.  The the ‘secret find’ of the amazing local Fish Shack restaurant is only about 10 minutes up the beach path also. If you’re partying at Pacha or Ushuaia it takes about 20mins/25 euro to get there by taxi. Likewise, it cost us £25 euro to get to our fave beach club El Chiringuito by private car.

Rooms: All bedrooms and suites, across both main buildings, have at least a partial sea view of Talamanca bay and the Dalt Vila (old part) of Ibiza Town beyond.  I loved our room’s pool view and balcony as well as the walk in wardrobe and open bathroom with its dual basins and a rain shower, plus some zingy citrus fragranced products.

Extra, Extra!: Book a loft room and a Smart Cabrio car is included as a nice bonus. [My partner and I hired one of these babies a few years back in Formentera (Ibiza’s little sister island) and we adored whizzing around the beautiful white sandy beaches of the playboy’s playground.] The first fill of the minibar is free, which is an extra welcoming touch [THAT I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT UNTIL I RESEARCHED THIS BLOG BACK HOME!]…

Super Staff: The staff from the door to floor reminded me of those trained by the Starwood Group. They were all super polished like the beauties and babes of the Hudson in NYC or the W Barcelona, but with extra (genuine) Mediterranean charm and an eagerness to please. Even the gorgeously Nordic looking blonde female DJ spinning tunes in the lobby on Sunday afternoon was smiley and welcoming in a warm and friendly way.

A Tavola: The kitchen is open all day which helps in Ibiza when you might well be keeping odd hours. Mediterranean-Asian fusion dishes include tuna tataki and wagyu burgers. Room service includes tempting options such as a toasted aubergine sandwich with burrata and rocket. Breakfast – my favourite meal of the day - is available from 8am until midday with an excellent buffet and a menu with lots of healthy options including eggs pretty much any way you like, plus smoothies and bowls with every on-trend ingredient imaginable.  

La Cuenta Por Favor: Our double rooms cost £1200 for 2 people for 3 nights, although we also had an upgrade to a suite as one of the party had stayed before…

Who stays there? Well, when we stayed there were groups of cool baristas from Italy, sponsored by Red Bull. We also met some Norwegian bankers and a DJ/talent agent plus one or two musicians & DJs playing sets at HI! & Ushuaia that weekend.   It doesn’t seem overly family-orientated, but there were a few cool Euro families with beautiful kids lounging by the pool and eating quietly at breakfast. No screaming tantrums on my watch anyway.

My only disappointment? No gym or spa, but I am told these are en route. And that’s good, because I’ll be back.

FOOD | FARAWAY PLACES | EATERIES FOR EVERYONE IN MADRID

Madrid has gone gourmet with a vengeance, but the best of the classic tapas bars are still packed to the rafters come dinner time. Cutting-edge techniques and high-quality ingredients are a given. And whether you’re going all-out or doing the Spanish capital on the cheap, there’s always a good wine list for several toasts.

Ten Con Ten

A lively sit-down spot that serves classic tapas with a modern edge and some pasta dishes. No need to reserve here as some tables are left open for walk-ins, adding to the convivial, chilled vibe.

DriverXO

A colourful space where surprises are the order of the day and contrasts that explode with every bite are the house trademark. A three-hour dining experience featuring more than 20 dishes that you won't forget in a hurry!

Pinkoco

Possibly one of the cutest cafés ever, Pinkoco has a contemporary yet vintage feel with safari-style plants and low-hanging light fixtures paired with comfy chairs and couches, ideal for an Aperol Spritz or a ginger tea. The desserts are pretty notable – try the brownie or the carrot cake.

Taberna Pedraza

Colourful mismatched tiled floors create a casual vibe enhanced by an eclectic bunch of chairs, flowers and super friendly service. The small kitchen is open, so you can see Chef Santiago Pedraza working his magic in real time. 

Botin

The oldest restaurant in the world and a benchmark of Madrid's best traditional Spanish cuisine. Renowned for its suckling pig and fantastic ambience.

FOOD | Where to Eat Like a Parisian

Probably the most romanticised city in the world, with a gastronomic reputation to match, Paris boast more than 70 Michelin-starred restaurants. From bustling dining rooms to hip bistros and brasseries filled with Extremely Beautiful People lining bars and street tables, where does one begin?

Le Train Bleu

One of Paris' most refined and picturesque restaurants happens to be located within one of its busiest train stations, Le Train Bleu, an opulent icon of Parisian dining. Michelin Star winning chef Michel Rostang serves only the finest food such as scallops and perfect ravioli …French cuisine at its most elegant. I ate here about 18 years ago and my lasting memory, which was one I became accustomed to as a tried other Michelin starred eateries, was that the menus for ladies didn’t have prices.

Septime

Meals in this warm yet pared-back Scando-inspired space start with beautiful plant and vegetable focused dishes that change every two weeks. This is fine dining without pomp and circumstance... Grébaut is a master at coaxing out the flavors in every ingredient and playing on texture.

Tannat

Fine French dining training with a real emphasis on seasonality and once neglected root vegetables with whatever protein was freshest that day and wine of equal importance. When ordering by the glass, the sommelier will bring the three bottles they're serving in red or white, tell you about each wine and which is most likely to complement your order.

Carbón

Carbon is dedicated to cooking sustainable ingredients simply over fire. Think beef cheek with potato gnocchi, chanterelles and onions; or scallops with cedar, oysters and mushrooms. Down in the basement, you’ll find speakeasy La Mina, with its intimate smoking room, serving classic cocktails and small plates.

Wild and the Moon

Emma Sawko has successfully combined French living style with veganism from Los Angeles in her this couture flagship on Place du Marché Saint-Honoré. A fashionista favourite for small cakes, freshly squeezed juices, fab salads and gluten-free paninis. 

One other eating experience that I never miss in Paris is a plate of tuna tartare and a plate of avocado slices on the terrace of Hotel Costes. If you are not seated beside a Gitanes-smoking local, then the atmosphere and people watching are fabulous. And actually after a few glasses of Champagne the smoke doesn’t seem quite so bothersome.

**Regular readers will know that there are quite a few French eateries here on the F Words – France is an F word of course; and the foodie Frenchies are my spirit animals. Check out my review of Alain Ducasse 2 Michelin star at the Plaza Athenee or the wonderous delights of traditional fayre at the Colombe D’Or in Saint Paul deVence in the FOOD section of the blog…  

FOOD | FARAWAY PLACES | LUCIOUS LISBON

Lisbon is an incredibly pretty city break destination and a must-visit for foodies. The city’s food scene continues to boom, with new restaurants launching regularly, drawing on the endless bounty from the coastline, mountains and vineyards. While dining out here is certainly a stylish experience, food is held in high regard by lisboetas and eating out is a necessity rather than a luxury.

Alma

Housed in an 18th-century warehouse once used for storing books for one of the world’s oldest bookshops, this fine dining restaurant is one of the biggest gastronomic references in Lisbon.  The dining room features an open kitchen, granting guests a view of Sá Pessoa and his team in action. Menu options include Costa a Costa, with 5 dishes, exclusively inspired by the sea, and Alma, with five dishes chosen by the chef - alongside an à la carte menu.

Cantina

Cantina is situated in the spot everyone’s talking about - the LX Factory, an old industrial space that’s been turned into a warren of hip work spaces, shops, cafes, pop ups and photography studios. The interiors of this bar and restaurant pay tribute to its industrial past... bag a seat on the raised platform for views  over the open bar and kitchen where light, classic Portuguese food is prepared using a small wood-fired oven.

Prado

António Galapito opened Prado at the foot of the Cathedral of Lisbon, where he works with organic meat and vegetables, using seasonal ingredients recommended by their Portuguese producers, so the menu is ever-changing. Every day, something is different, from meat cuts to fish species.

Pesca

This trendy dinery is a fabulous garden on a large terrace in the city, specialising in fish and seafood with excellent vegetable sides. Don't miss the cocktails to enjoy with oysters and be sure to try braised mullet, with bread crumbs, artichoke puree, fava beans and there is an army of suppliers of products that the chef chooses with visits to their lands.

Loco

In the shadow of the Basílica da Estrela, Lisbon's latest hot table comes courtesy of chef Alexandre Silva, whose bold and modern take on Portuguese cuisine taps both tradition and travel on its way to a personality-rich gastronomic adventure. It offers a daily-changing, description-free tasting menu (you choose 18 'moments' with or without a cheese option), each steeped in sustainability and seasonality.

FOOD | FARAWAY PLACES | Where the Fashion Crowd eat in Milan

Once loved more for its striking cathedral and high fashion than its food scene, Milanese eateries now pack serious punch and illustrate a serious commitment to quality ingredients. From fabulous coffee and pastries to seriously good seafood and handmade fresh pasta (take me back), there is so much goodness to choose from.

Bice.jpg

Bice
Off Via Montenapoleone, the city’s high-end shopping street, Bice is the style world’s cantina during fashion week. A block from the Four Seasons Hotel Milan, it’s a go-to for old-school, perfectly executed Tuscan dishes ...ribollita, pasta e fagioli and risotto.

Carlo e Camilla
A 1930s sawmill with grand crystal chandeliers in its soaring ceilings makes a cool industrial setting for this restaurant in the hip Porta Romana neighborhood. Modern Italian cuisine by Michelin-star chef Carlo Cracco includes handmade pastas and plates of risotto. Don't miss the show stopping cocktails featuring rare ingredients like green cardamom and apricot marmalade.

pisco.jpg

Pisco
One for serious seafood lovers in the lively area of the Arco della Pace, Pisco's style is that of a colourful seaside bistro with a cosy, welcoming atmosphere.  Try the oyster, ceviche and raw sea food.

Il Salumaio
A charming place located in the historical setting of Palazzo Bagatti Valsecchi where you're likely to brush shoulders with VIPs. Go for the buzzing vibe and classic Italian dishes of carpaccio, risotto and buffalo mozzarella.

The Garden Cafe
You won’t be able to tell whether you’re inside or outside in this eatery, decorated with lush plants throughout, where the fashion crew stop by for a bite in between shopping or shows.

FARAWAY PLACES | TRAVEL IN STYLE - THE LUGGAGE EDIT


 

lulu-guinness-valentina-peekaboo-lips-leather-bag.jpg

Gone are the days of dragging a dusty, battered old suitcase down from the attic and filling it with your favourite outfits. No longer a purely practical necessity, luggage has become an extension of our personal style... it's got to look good and work hard for you.  

My tick list includes:

  • roomy but a manageable size (I've got to lug it everywhere after all)

  • sturdy and well made to pass the test of time

  • lightweight and easy to maneouvre (wheels non-optional!)

  • easy to spot on the conveyor belt

  • and of course, stylish!

Great luggage doesn't come cheap and isn't an investment to be taken lightly, so take the time to consider what you really need.

Any pro traveller knows that the golden rule is to travel with hand luggage only - if you can. Not an option for longer than a weekend in my experience, and definitely not in Winter when we need ALL THE LAYERS, but then I'm not one to travel light - and outfit options are a necessity, right?!

Unless your bag is being put in the overhead locker, steer clear of soft cases to avoid damage to your possessions inside. Either way, ask to have your luggage marked as fragile and it will be one of the first to come off of the plane.

Your suitcase is still likely to get chucked about a fair bit on its journey, so choose a case with separate compartments... no-one wants their outfits to smell of Duty Free gin on a weekend away.

Whether you're travelling for business, romance or a family holiday, enjoy my luggage edit.

NB** includes several cases which are pure fantasy (for me) but too gorgeous not to include!

FARAWAY PLACES | TROUBLE FREE TOWELS FROM TESALATE

If you’re anything like me then the long and seemingly never-ending spell of cold weather has got you browsing the internet looking for holidays while happily dreaming of warmer climes and mocktails on the beach… 

It’s official - I am now counting down the days until vacay-time and can’t wait to hit a golden, sandy beach! My little one V loves long days on the beach and we can often be found playing games and dipping in and out of the sea throughout the day when on holiday.  

beach-towel-paradise-found-1_2000x.jpg

However one of my pet peeves when spending a day frolicking by the seal is sand - sand and I have a kinda love/hate relationship - I love the feel of it beneath my feet and one of my favourite things to do on holiday is to watch the sunset on the beach, however, I hate how everything in your bag ends up covered in sand – especially when you have little ones who seem to have a knack for getting sand everywhere! 


So when Austrailian brand Tesalate kindly sent me two of their sand repelling towels for me and V to use on our holidays my beach-tote packing certainly stepped up a notch!  

beach-towel-inca-1_2000x.jpg

Tesalate towels come in 30 variations and their 2018 collection will keep you totally on trend. They’re loaded with vibrant prints and gorgeous patterns, and look fab spread across the sand, rolled up in a basket bag or draped over a sunbed.  

Not only do they look the part, the other thing that makes Tesalate completely-irresistible is the AbsorbLite microfibre which means sand easily slides off the towel, making them perfect for everyone - even the most active of kids! Oh and if that wasn’t enough, they are also fast-drying too and dry faster than a regular towel (although each towel is still able to absorb one litre of water, meaning no more wet bags or car seats on the journey home - yay!).   

beach-towel-leaf-me-alone-1_2000x.jpg

Tesalate is also super light and comes with its own nylon drawstring pouch so you don’t need to worry about it taking up too much space in your bag – meaning there is even more room for those other beach essentials and there is no risk of them getting covered in sand (hallelujah!)  
For fabric care you can either tumble dry on low or do a cold machine wash - without the risk of fading.  

beach-towel-bohemian-1_2000x.jpg

I already have ours packed and ready to go – whether I am lounging by the pool or soaking up some rays at the shore, this is one essential I don’t want to be forgetting! Get yours here:  www.tesalate.com

FARAWAY PLACES | OD TALAMANCA - A PERFECT IBIZAN GETAWAY

Talamanca, Ibiza, Spain
 

Telling people that you’re off to Ibiza for the weekend seems to conjure up lots of presumptions and pre-conceived ideas as to what you might be up to, in my experience. But although the Isla Blanca may be the land of the all-night nightclub with a hedonistic history, I personally prefer the hippie history of the island and the chilled vibe which exists in many parts (thankfully) as yet undiscovered by the disco divas.

On this trip, shared with four forty-somethings, we checked into the super smart OD Talamanca Hotel, which is located six miles/10km from the airport on a quiet bay close to Ibiza Town. It is an elegant refuge from the non-stop party atmosphere elsewhere and the impressive first impressions included a tight attention to detail in everything - from the design (interior and exterior) to the wonderfully accommodating and friendly staff as well as a modern menu and creative cocktails.

We also met some Norwegian bankers and a DJ/talent agent plus one or two musicians & DJs playing sets at HI! & Ushuaia that weekend.   It doesn’t seem overly family-orientated, but there were a few cool Euro families with beautiful kids lounging by the pool and eating quietly at breakfast. No screaming tantrums on my watch anyway.

TRUFFLE HUNTING AT LAS PASTRAS, CADENET, (PROVENCE) FRANCE

My partner and I love fine wines and good food. And we are pretty heavy on 'stuff', so for Christmas gifts I always like to treat my better half to an experience - ideally involving some culture, food, physical activity and travel. After previous tasting trips to Champagne and cooking courses in Paris, I decided a truffle hunt was the way to go this past Christmas - and it didn't disappoint. I came across Las Pastras on TripAdvisor and booked, then rebooked and chopped & changed 3 times due to work commitments. Thankfully our hosts were accommodating and flexible (or maybe just used to people like us) and we eventually made it to Provence on the last weekend for truffle hunting towards the end of February. There was a mistral wind blowing despite some sunshine, so thankfully we were well wrapped up.

We knew we were going to someone's home and that the home was in a rural environment, so others making the trip should bear this in mind. It's not luxury, in the full five star sense, but it is truly lovely :-)  Johann met us up his lane after our Google Maps app took us exactly to his almost secret home location. We heard the stories of why it is secret - and I don't want to spoil the visit for anyone else who comes, but think Peter Mayle-like stories of local suspicion and conspiracy around such simple things as food (albeit a very expensive foodstuff in terms of the fruits of this precious 'terre'). We then met the dogs - Madeline the elder female was definitely the boss, and we followed their noses to the roots of the oaks to seek out and find the precious cargo of what was almost 1kg of truffles.

After 3 hours of walking, talking and learning about birds, bees, organic farming and the Provençal way of life, we got down to some eating and Champagne quaffing alongside truffles with cheese, truffles with bread and butter and much more! Thankfully, there are not volumes and tomes of info like a wine trip, so I don’t think we’ll forget the info like we have done after visiting wine regions, because truffle farming is a lot about skill, but even more so about a lucky set of natural circumstances. Plus, Johann really welcomed questions of all types -  and I was full of them! This trip was a pleasure - and we left owning (or adopting) an oak tree with the promise of an annual batch of our own truffles for dinner parties at home! It was a wonderful learning experience and not one we’ll forget quickly.

Later that night we ate in a delicious Michelin star restaurant but the next day we burned a good bit of it all off with a dynamic trek to the summit of Mont Sainte Victoire... This is most definitely a trip for foodies and those willing to learn.
