Quirky, peaceful and private: Several years ago, German-born Brigitte and her Turkish husband Ferruh had a vision of restoring an old watermill whose remains lay hidden on the Turkish mountainside. They succeeded so well that it is hard to believe that this secret, peaceful hideaway has not been here forever. Rooms are scattered about on different levels, half hidden in the abundance of trees and climbers, while shaded seating areas with divans and low cushions permit privacy and peace.

Seychelles eco lodge: A 30-minute flight from Mahe by light aircraft gives the first stunning impressions of this tiny 170 acre coral cay. The east and south sides are surrounded by a protective barrier reef which is home to many varieties of tropical fish and the rest is an open beach which offers superb safe swimming. The Island offers a magical holiday experience. Endless stretches of fine white coral sand beaches give a true 'castaway' feeling. The emphasis is very much on relaxation and informality so leave your city shoes at home.
