The Bond That Burns (deluxe Limited Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

The Mediterranean is surrounded by three continents - Europe, Africa and Asia - and even though the cultures around this sea are highly diverse, they harmoniously share a pleasant climate, distinctive flora and fauna, and not least the intense blue of the water. Angelika Taschen set out in search of the most beautiful hotels on a great variety of coasts, islands and beaches, taking you on a journey to the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and the ultra-chic Les Roches Rouges on the Cote d'Azur, to the little-known Pardini's Hermitage on the Italian island of Giglio, which is only accessible by boat or on foot, and to Bodrum in Turkey, where the elegant Amanruya resort lies hidden in one of the most stunning bays in the Mediterranean. She also presents new hotel concepts, great architecture and creative design - such as the finca Menorca Experimental on the Balearic Islands, the modernist Villa Dubrovnik in Croatia and Dexamenes on the Peloponnese, where new life was breathed into decommissioned wine tanks. Further highlights are the brand-new, stylishly designed <strong>Mezzatorre</strong> on Ischia and the <strong>Torre di Cala Piccola</strong> with its enchanting private beach on the Argentario peninsula in Tuscany, an almost unknown location that possesses the aura of 1960s Italy. Another gem is <strong>La Locanda del Barbablu</strong>, with just five rooms in the shadow of the mythical volcano on Stromboli. Look forward to staying at the <strong>Villa Mabrouka</strong> in Tangier with its fantastic views, and the charming <strong>Coco-Mat Eco Residences </strong>on Serifos, or experiencing the originality of Ammos on Crete, where the art and design are as essential as the sun and the beach.
