I thought my trip to Africa a few years ago was my "trip of a lifetime." But now this trip comes along and it is another trip of a lifetime, too. An equal but totally different experience. On every level, this trip was phenomenal. Our host Coco Miles was the most amazing guide throughout every adventure she planned for us as well as when we were cooking and chatting and hanging out at her home Les Jardins Haute Couture. She was flexible, caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable, spontaneous, fun and she did it all with a whole lot of elegance and humor. Thank you, Coco. (And thank you also to her support system of family and friends who helped to make it all delightful at every turn.)

I enjoyed the trip very much. The manor house is lovely and the rooms were comfortable and beautiful. The hosts were delightful and genuinely wanted to ensure that all guests were happy, comfortable, ans well fed. The historical tours were fantastic and just long enough. Coral's incredible knowledge of the history of each place we visited was exceptionally helpful and put all of the marvelous places we visited into context. Her gardens were a highlight of the trip. Also, I won't forget the best outdoor dinnertime concert ever! If I could make a constructive comment my suggestion is that potential guests should be made aware of the cats. If a customer has allergies they will be able to take proper precautions. Coral and Laura are simply wonderful hosts. Nina is a delight - the absolute best. I cannot imagine any other home that could have made us feel so cared for and special.
