INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
The Amalfi Coast, one of Italy's most picturesque regions, has always attracted artists, writers and bon vivants from all over the world. The breathtaking landscape, where steep cliffs alternate with crystal-clear waters, lush lemon groves and charming villages clinging to the mountainsides, provide a backdrop that has inspired for centuries. As early as the 19th century, the Romantics found a source of inexhaustible inspiration here, and since then the Amalfi Coast has been a magnet for people seeking beauty in life.

Chef Gábor Gyurik reveals his favourite smoothie recipe and which sacred unit of measurement he uses for wine.
After extensive microsurgery, the Hotel El Palau Fugit, a former 18th century building in the Spanish city of Girona, opened its doors. Not without revealing numerous historical and contemporary treasures.
Sport boats, yachts, Italian marinas. Terms that stand for lifestyle and luxury - and not necessarily for sustainability. Green hydrogen refuelling stations, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, are now set to change that.
