In Brazil’s northeast region, the city of Recife has earned it the nickname of the Brazilian Venice. With its sun-drenched Boa Viagem beachfront and winding waterways — thanks to the convergence of the Beberibe and Capibaribe rivers — the city offers a watery haven from winter weather. Explore Brazil’s first Capital of Culture, and UNESCO Cultural Heritage site, Olinda, an area of Recife famed for its Carnival. This lovely district is made up of winding cobbled streets that lead past historic churches and colonial architecture to tree-shaded squares perfect for relaxing.
For an added dose of cultural ambience and elegant lodging within an historic setting, choose the Pousada do Amparo in central Olinda. Four separate 18th-century houses are face one another across Rua do Amparo. Wood beams, tiled floors, antiques and lush gardens provide the atmosphere you need for a romantic escape. Enjoy fine dining at the property’s Restaurante Flor do Coco, or luscious handmade cakes and pastries in the Art Café. Room categories include standard, luxury and superior luxury.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.

I am looking out at Vietnam’s largest city from the country’s tallest building. Sitting in a comfortable chair facing the floor-to-ceiling window, I have taken in the view in daylight and darkness at dusk and dawn. It’s ever-changing and always hypnotic.
