Two country estates in Tuscany and Umbria, with spa days
Four nights on an organic farm estate in southern Tuscany, with a spa that uses its own herbs, then three inside the walls of an Umbrian castle with a candlelit bathhouse in the old wine cellars. Siena and Montalcino in between.
Two nights in Dubai, then a week in Baa Atoll
