La Posta Vecchia: The Ideal Roman Hideaway

La Posta Vecchia Hotel is conveniently located 40-minutes outside of Rome. I’ve seen many beautiful images of the hotel on Instagram lately, and they are making me want to go to Rome faster than a speeding ticket. The five-star hotel is built on the site of an ancient villa and 17th-century castle in the coastal town of Ladispoli, a few miles from Rome. The location is ideal just to relax while enjoying the beautiful facilities or you can borrow a bike from the hotel and visit the Etruscan sites nearby. The hotel also has a small museum with archeological findings beneath the structure. Guests can take the train from Rome and be picked up at the local station.

Windsor: A Luxury Residential Club At Vero Beach: CSOW

I feel like I’m cheating by posting about Windsor, a luxury residential club in Vero Beach, Florida as a commercial space of the week. For many reasons, first because although it offers many commercial spaces, it’s also a community. Windsor is a village by the sea in Vero Beach, Florida where every detail was perfectly planned and designed to give their residents the ultimate luxury living experience. Every one of their amenities is set in perfect-looking settings.

The private residential club offers a full-scale Equestrian Centre consisting of 18 stables and 14 paddocks with 4.6 miles of riding trails surrounding the community, a 400-yard-long polo field, the tennis courts designed by Wimbledon champion Stan Smith are lined with jasmine, a championship golf course and much more. Windsor was founded in 1989 by Canadian businessman W. Galen Weston and his philanthropist wife, Hilary Weston, the former lieutenant governor of Ontario. The now luxury residential community started as a private summer residence for the Weston family, later they enlisted Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk to design the New Urbanism style of living.
