Parfait, super logement! Anna est très accueillante et le Trullo magnifique, dans la campagne, au calme mais à 10 minutes de Martina Franca.arnaud2015-10-29T00:00:00Z
Our stay at the trullo was one of the main highlights of our trip to Italy. The pictures looked amazing but we were blown away when we actually saw the place and the surrounding area in person! We had an incredible first evening by taking a cooking class with Anna's sister Veronica which was such a great experience and we had enough food to last us the whole stay! The location of the trullo was very ideal, close to Cisternino, Locorotondo and Martina Franca. We were also easily able to do day trips to Polignano a Mare and Lecce. If you're looking for a unique stay, centrally located in Puglia and a once in a lifetime experience this is the place! We can't wait to return in the future!Christina2016-10-24T00:00:00Z
We stayed only 1 night at Anna's Trullo - and it was amazing ! So cute, so romantic - with a fireplace in the living room. However it was winter, the Trullo was cozy and warm. Very clean, with many authentic items and furniture inside. Anna was very kind and helpful, responsive and flexible. Tonia, her mother, who welcomed us, was a superhospitable woman, smiling and showing us around - so enthusiastic, you can feel yourself at home immediately with her. She has left for us even home made marmalade with some cakes - and made us sure we were comfortable. A great and real experience - wanting to return back ! Thank you Tonia and Anna !Alexandra2012-12-29T00:00:00Z
Il trullo e' ben arredato, pulito e spazioso.Roby & Michael2012-09-22T00:00:00Z
Il trullo di Anna Zizzi è un posto meraviglioso dove trascorrere un periodo di riposo nella magnifica Val d'Itria. Il trullo è pulitissimo, in ordine, molto vicino alle principali mete turistiche della zona ed al mare. Anna e i suoi genitori sono molto gentili e cordiali .Ideale per famiglie, con le altalene di legno e la casa sugli alberi ci ritorneremo sicuramenteNuvola2013-05-01T00:00:00Z
Anna was an incredibly gracious and accessible host! She made sure that every comfort was provided and all questions answered. I Setti Coni is a BEAUTIFUL property, well located for daily excursions, and a delightful place to stay! I hope to return very very soon, and stay longer. Grazie per tutto, Anna!! TerriTerri2015-09-28T00:00:00Z
L endroit est vraiment magique, un joli petit trulli en pleine nature avec des chevaux. La deco est authentique et de très bon goût. Les paysages sont très beaux. Anna est vraiment adorable et avait préparé de jolies attentions pour notre arrivée. Que dire de plus ... Une adresse exceptionnelle ! Merci encoreSophie2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

很特别的体验,非常酷的设计。订了这个房子之后才知道是John Hardy先生的创举。我们还参加了bamboo工厂和green school的参观活动,很棒!yolanda2014-10-08T00:00:00Z
Our experience at Green Village was truly a memorable one. The bamboo house is absolutely stunning, even more so in person than photos. The entire staff was very welcoming and accommodating to all our needs. I highly recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing holiday.West Palm Beach 2016-04-07T00:00:00Z
I had a fantastic stay at Andrew's bamboo house. The residence is more beautiful in person than pictures can show and it is truly a WOW moment as soon as you step through the glass circular entrance. From the arcitecture down to the copper and bamboo fittings throughout, this is one truly spectacular residence. The open plan on all levels makes it very spacious for a group of 3 or more. Some days you feel like the only person there. It was a great convenience having a full functional kitchen and the pool was very refreshing on those warm Bali days. The views from the house are amazing and even though there are no windows it is still relatively cool throughout and funnily enough myself and my guests did not have any problems with mosquitos. The Bamboo Village is only a 30 minute drive to Ubud town centre and this can easily be arranged through the staff on site for about AUD$30 return. There is always security within the village and I never felt like any question was too much trouble for the staff. It was great to meet Andrew and hear a little background on the Bamboo Village itself. I will certainly be recommending this residence to family and friends and would love to stay here again in the near future.Damien2013-03-27T00:00:00Z
The view from the house was like a movie avatar world, it was a another world. We were deeply moved and I wanted to live forever. Wild monkeys and flocks of colorful birds flew close up and it was a wonderful place than I thought. The bamboo floor was very comfortable and the interior was very unique. The staff are very kind and correspond quickly and accurately. However, it is a bit far from sightseeing spots, and the driver is not so familiar with each area, so it is better to check the complete address of the destination. And it is better to ask the office staff in advance to find places on the web.Naomi2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at The Joshua Tree house. Sara & Rich were great hosts. We enjoyed the rainy/foggy weather during our trip and took full advantage of the fireplace and hot tub. The beds were so comfortable, even the pillows were great! The home is just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and within walking distance to wonderful shops and restaurants. We can't wait to visit again. Until then, we will just have to dream of desert air and starry skies.Jennifer2016-12-24T00:00:00Z
Awesome desert house, went with a few friends and loved our stay here. Sara and Rich put the perfect amount of special touches on/in the house (local coffee, good records, etc) to make it design-crush worthy and comfortable. Close to town but still secluded with beautiful views. The hot tub and fire wer great after a day of hiking in JT national park. Would definitely recommend!samantha2015-11-19T00:00:00Z
Like all other reviews describe, the house was nothing short of amazing. Though we never met Sara or Rich, it's obvious that they're good people with good vibes, and you can feel that in the house. Not a single missed detail, which I so appreciate. Their communication was just as detailed. We said aloud multiple times, "can we just stay forever?". We spent a few hours exploring town each day (3 night stay) and honestly, all we ever wanted to do was to go back and hang at the house. If you appreciate details, chill vibes, and a record player, this is your place. You'll never want to leave.Alyssa2015-10-09T00:00:00Z
Our stay at the Joshua Tree House was nothing short of magical. Sara and Rich were extremely hospitable, and although we didn't meet them they were quick to respond to any inquiries. The house was beautifully decorated and appeared exactly as it did in photos. The location is also just a few minutes from Joshua Tree National park and near lots of great shops and bars. I would go back to Joshua Tree House in a heartbeat! Thank you Sara and Rich!Brittany2015-12-28T00:00:00Z
Sara and Rich have a beautifully illustrated PDF of some key details about the home. In addition, the intro email they sent helped to simplify getting there, entrance to home, etc. The house is charming and full of nice touches...games, turntable and great vinyl selection.Julie2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
We had a relaxing winter getaway here and we loved it. Rich and Sara have clearly thought through details for guests, making the space not only beautiful but comfortable and accomodating. We were grateful for the coffee provided, space heaters, extremely comfortable beds, the hot tub, to name a few... In addition the beautiful design. Thanks for hosting us you two; we'll be back!Emilie2016-12-14T00:00:00Z
Overall great experience staying at the Joshua Tree house! Smooth access instructions were great for our late night arrival. We enjoyed the house amenities including the board games and hot tub. You have a beautiful home- thank you for sharing it with us!Kelly2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
Loved the house inside and out! The hot tub was such a nice thing to have staying here in January. I stayed here for my birthday and it was a very great time. The location is also very close to some great places to eat and very close to Joshua Tree national park. The only downside was the roof leaked from the rain into one of the rooms. But they thought ahead of time just in case and had a bed set up in the hammock room. They also went above and beyond and offered us a partial refund and a bottle of wine because of it. They were also very insightful with what to do and places to go. They were easy to get ahold of and always gave a fast response. I highly recommend staying here.Aaron2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

O local é maravilhoso e bastante reservado. O casal de caseiro são super simpáticos e ajudaram sempre que solicitado. Recomendo e pretendo voltar.Antônio2014-10-14T00:00:00Z
Foi uma experiência ótima! A casa encontra-se em um lugar muito especial com uma paisagem linda! Poder dormir e acordar com barulho da água na pedra não tem preço. O acesso é muito fácil e o caseiro foi atencioso durante toda estadia, pude passar bons momentos com minha noiva com privacidade e sossego. A cozinha é completa, ambiente limpo, área externa e praia particular muito bem cuidadas. Uma pena foi não poder usar a lareira por algum problema de rachadura, o que não afetou em nada os bons momentos vividos na casa. A minha sugestão para o Anthony seria colocar uma rede no espaço da sacada, pois sem dúvida é o melhor ambiente da casa! Recomendo o lugar e pretendo voltar um dia.Lucas2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
The stay was perfect in every way. Anthony is very attentive to explain all the questions that may arise before the stay. In the property, the caretakers/'caseiros' are very receptive and friendly people. The house is beautiful, exactly - and even more beautiful, I would say - like the photos. Fully equipped with everything you could need. The parking is very convenient too. I strongly recommend to everyone who want to relax, surrounded by a beautiful architecture and cinematic view. :-)Daniel2013-11-18T00:00:00Z
propiedad increíble para pasar unas increíbles vacaciones y relajar lejos de la ciudad. la atención de los caseros fue la mejor y todo resulto de acuerdo a lo pactado.Agus2017-01-14T00:00:00Z
Meu marido e eu comemoramos 10 anos de casamento nesse lugar incrível em outubro de 2016. As fotos condizem com a beleza do local e o fato de se ter uma praia privativa em meio à natureza é um luxo só. Governador Celso Ramos é um local adorável, cheio de paisagens impactantes. Adoramos a experiência! Queremos voltar em breve.Patrícia2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Pela terceira vez nos hospedamos com o Anthony. Um lugar indescritível e novamente inesquecível. Tudo foi maravilhoso e o tempo estava (URL HIDDEN) certeza voltaremos mais vezes neste pedaço de paraíso.Pedro2017-02-23T00:00:00Z
It was an exceptional experience our stay in the beach house of Anthony's property. It has paradisiac views, a nice private beach and a good service from Deivit, the caseiro. The house is perfect to enjoy good time with friends and family, further else if you are trying to rest in a calm and peaceful place. There are some mini markets, drugstores and restaurants in a close Village. I really don't want to recommend (to keep the house easy for booking and unknown, LOL), but I have to do so, cause it was an amazing stay!Rafael2013-02-14T00:00:00Z

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location. Would definitely return.Kari2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
Ryan and Darnie's chalet was a perfect spot for a S. Lake Tahoe getaway. We would definitely consider coming back. The cabin was cozy and it had all the conveniences of home.Ki2015-11-07T00:00:00Z
We loved the chalet. It was perfect for our family, and Ryan and Darnie were very accommodating.Becky2016-02-28T00:00:00Z
this was the perfect cabin seeing. the interior is beautiful and the furniture was awesome. everything you need to cook and plenty of dvds and games that entertained us and four kids since it rained the whole time. the hosts were quick to respond to any questions. well definitely be staying here in the future.Brian2016-10-28T00:00:00Z
Fantastic place - amazing cabin in the woodsDavid2016-05-14T00:00:00Z
We had a very comfortable stay at Ryan & Darnie's cabin in Lake Tahoe! The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking and grilling and the bedrooms were comfortable. Great location in South Tahoe with easy access to all of the sights.Meng2015-09-21T00:00:00Z
This is a very nice location. Very convenient to lake/ snow/ activities. This is my second time coming to this place and enjoyed it both times. The unfortunate part was to have had some issues both times we went with the place not being ready but Ryan was very quick to respond to our needs and made a great effort to make up for it which we appreciated very much. This will not prevent us from going again since the rest of our trip both times were great. Have not went during summer time but during winter it's just beautiful. Thank you again for letting us stay and make more memories.Roxanne2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
Ryan and Darnie were fantastic hosts. They were very responsive and accommodating. Their home is gorgeous and right across from stunning views of beautiful snowy mountains. It was certainly the perfect place to call home-base during our trip up to South Lake Tahoe!Hailey2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Dar Ahwach was absolutely fantastic. The riad is beautiful-with a dipping pool and nice rooftop. Sabah, the housekeeper, was wonderful and her food some of the best we had in Marrakesh-if not the best. The riad is easy to find, right on the edge of the medina and Francoise was easy to contact and liase with. We could not have been happier with our stay. Many thanks Francoise!mara2014-07-07T00:00:00Z
Our 4 nights at Dar Ahwach were wonderful! Not sure what else I can say that has not already been said - Fayssal picked us up without issue at the airport (and returned us 4 days later), Sabah met us to take us to the Riad where she prepared hot mint tea and had cookies waiting for us after she gave us a tour. Also, as we arrived in the early evening, we had requested she also prepare dinner for us that night - lemon and olive chicken tangine, Moroccan salads and fruit. Delicious! Made our first night so relaxing and enjoyable. She was, as others have said often, a wonderful sweet person who made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We are from the Phoenix AZ area where summer heat is very similar to Marrakech - so we were prepared and had not planned to do too much sightseeing. We ate out at some of the many wonderful restaurants so close to Dar Ahwach, shopped and explored the Medina and did just a little sightseeing. Being able to return to the wonderful quiet atmosphere of the Riad with the plunge pool for cooling off and the comfort of the air-conditioned living room was great - we thoroughly enjoyed the house that Francoise has decorated with wonderful artwork and made so comfortable. I had a wonderful hammam and massage at Hammam de la Rose very close to the house - absolutely beautiful spa with very professional and friendly staff -wish now I had gone back for seconds! We enjoyed drinks in the air-conditioned bar at the small hotel just across from the spa - Palais Donab. Went twice to La Terrasse des epices which we thoroughly enjoyed - great food and wonderful terrace with views. Also enjoyed our visit to Le Jardin Secret, again just a few minutes walk from the house. Le Jardin Marjorelle, which we walked to and from early one morning (about 30 minutes each way) was also a wonderful place to visit. There are numerous small "shops" close to the house where bread, pastries, water and other essentials are available - also a small bakery right at the entrance to the alley where the fresh bread is wonderful! Francoise provided all the information we needed prior to our arrival and was available by phone and email if needed. We did not utilize Fayssal for tours apart from airport transfers as we were more interested in relaxing at the end of a month of traveling - but would not hesitate to do so for future trips as he was friendly as informative on our short trips to the airport. We will definitely return to Marrakech, but in the cooler months!! Would not hesitate to rebook Dar Ahwach or recommend to anyone as a wonderful haven amidst the hectic but fascinating Marrakech Medina.Jon2016-07-17T00:00:00Z
Dar Ahwach is a beautiful, tranquil and dare I say it, magical Riad in the heart of the Medina. Francois was very helpful in the build up to our trip, sending us all the info we needed and sorting out our transfer from the airport. Sabah was lovely, very helpful and very sweet. She made us lovely breakfasts and helped with suggestions of things to do and see, without imposing on our time. She also welcomed us with a pot of tea and some pastries. Needless to say we were sad to leave, and if we visit the city again we will definitely be in touch. THANK YOU Alan & PixieAlan2014-01-28T00:00:00Z
Beautiful Original Understated Riad!! Thank you for Francoise for letting us stay in her riad. The water sound from the fountain, Unbeatable Roof Experience with a Clear Morocco Sky. Sabah, the house keeper makes amazing breakfast and help us in any way she can. Very friendly experience. Highly Recommend.Pak Man2014-09-16T00:00:00Z
Great location, stunning villa, fantastic food, friendly staff. Highly recommended!!Jennifer2016-01-12T00:00:00Z
The taxi driver welcomed us in the airport and drove to the house when we met the awesomest housekeeper who made delicious breakfast and advised on many local things. The house is super clean and super spacious for three people. We could only regret not spending so much time there. We could switch on the heating to make our stay super comfortable in the evening. The location is brilliant – you can make yourself get lost in the souk for fun or take the easiest way to the streets around. Fairly short way to the station or supermarket. We'd definitely come back there.Ewa2014-12-13T00:00:00Z
The house is beautiful, a peaceful haven from the busy streets that are only a short walk away. I was taken aback by just how quiet it could be! The view from the roof terrace across Marrakech is wonderful and the sound of the call to prayer adds to the magic. The ground floor courtyard with pool is the perfect place to relax after a busy days shopping. It wasn't warm enough for us to use the pool but I can imagine how welcome it would be in the height of Summer. Francoise was quick and courteous in communication and a misunderstanding about how many bedrooms we needed (it is necessary to pay per room - we didn't realise) was resolved quickly. Sabah the housekeeper was charming and we enjoyed our time with Fayssal on both our trips to Essaouira and into the Atlas mountains.david2014-11-18T00:00:00Z
If you are going to Marrakech I highly recommend this home. Located centrally in the Medina, this well designed and maintained 3 bdrm villa is a wonderful refuge in the amazing and interesting city that is Marrakech. The home is beautifully furnished but perhaps the best feature is Saba the wonderful housekeeper who appears everyday. She will make breakfast for you the first morning and is available to prepare a dinner(s) with 24hrs notice. Staying in this home can only enhance your Marrakech experience.Bob2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

This house is awesome! When you walk in, you will simply be amazed. The house was plenty spacious for our party of 4 people. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. We never met Gunnar but he was very responsive by email up to and during our visit. We would not hesitate to stay here again.Jess & Neil2015-09-08T00:00:00Z
Gunnar's house is the perfect location for families in the Akureyri region. You'll have stunning views on the city, a great hot tub to relax and plenty of space for five persons. Unfortunately we never met Gunnar in person, but whenever there was a problem (we had problems to operate the hot tub in the beginning) there was a quick and very efficient answer. This is really a great place to stay and a nice person to deal with!Tim2014-04-20T00:00:00Z
Had a great time in Gunnar's place. Really nice house, very clean and well equipped. You definitely get more than what you pay for here, great value. The views were spectacular and we even managed to see the Northern Lights from the hot tub. Would recommend this place for everyone.Brian2014-10-02T00:00:00Z
Absolutely fantastic, clean, beautiful, comfortable, I could sit in the chair under the wool blanket all day if I wasn't exploring the beautiful area. Highly recommended.Kristin2017-02-24T00:00:00Z
Gunnar's house was a wonderful and comfortable place to stay with a fantastic view. The large windows look out over a snow-peaked mountains, a beautiful valley, and the town of Akureyri. Seeing the Northern Lights from his deck was amazing. While the hot tub was broken upon arrival, Gunnar was very quick to respond in having it fixed. Definitely would recommend this place.Mike2015-10-16T00:00:00Z
Propriétaire très disponible et très sympathique. Maison spacieuse et confortable tout à fait conforme à la description. Séjour très agréable.Didier2015-07-18T00:00:00Z
Do stay here, Its a really amazing place, an extraordinary house and it was a privilege to stay in a house like that. We had 3 nights here and wished we could have stayed longer. Amazing views across the fjord to Akureyri, which can be enjoyed from the hot tubPeter2016-10-21T00:00:00Z
Gunnars house is for sure on of the best offerings in Northern Iceland. The 35sqm window is one of a kind and offers a spectacular view to the Fjord. Awesome. The downturn is - the turnaround of guests is high. When we arrived mid May 2015, we found a house, not really cleaned. We detected spotted bed inlays, a broken piece of glass in a pot and much more dirt under the sofa pillows. The barbeque grill was dirty and smelled intensively. Overall - Whoever did the cleaning didn`t do it properly. We called Gunnar and he reacted instantly. His cleaning company arrived the next day and cleaned all over for 1,5 hours. They also bought a new bed linen. From then everything was fine. Maybe this was an exemption. Maybe this is normal. You have to find out yourself.Michael2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

I'm pretty sure everyone says the same thing, but this is the best money can buy! Pictures don't even do it justice! Super modern amenities, comfortable beds, updated kitchen and bath, and super unique! Can't say enough about this place! I've already recommended and sent the link to friends and family. Thanks Laskarina!!Calder2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
The location of the place is wonderful, and the view is spectacular. Lots of stuff around the apartment to eat/shop. The place is very nice, and I would definitely stay there again!Alex2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
This is the place to be in Oia. We had a wonderful week in this beautiful cave house in the center of Oia. Laskarina and her husband were helpful, whether it was to organize the transport from and to the airport or by giving useful tips for places to visit. The view from all the three private terraces is just breathtaking and we could have sat there and looked at the caldera for hours while listening to the bustling of Oia. The cave house is just next to the stairs that lead down to the small and quiet Armeni port where you can have a swim. Restaurants, shopping and the bus station are all just a few minutes' walk away. If you are looking for a place where you have complete privacy you might want to consider choosing a less central location. Since Laskarina is in the middle of Oia (and since it is so beautiful!) tourists always walk by and sneak a peek onto the terrace. We didn't mind and found that all the other great features of the apartment outweigh that one fact. Thanks again to Laskarina and John for the warm welcome and the helpful advice during our stay. We will most definitely come back to Oia and Laskarina.Lilian2015-06-11T00:00:00Z
We have stayed in a lot of great airbnbs, and this was by far our favorite! The location is unbelievable, the space is charming and lovely, and the hosts are absolutely fantastic! They responded immediately to every request and even went out of their way to help us find a vineyard to ship wine home. The space is cleaned daily, which was a wonderful treat. I cannot say enough good things about the space or Laskarina!Rachael2016-03-26T00:00:00Z
Wow, what a beautiful place! You just want to take photos, photos, and more photos. :) Laskarina's house is unique and gorgeous, we loved the architecture and the surrounding area. Santorini is a beautiful place, and staying at Laskarina's apartment made our experience truly special. While we did not have a chance to meet Laskarina in person, she was always available over the phone to answer our questions, recommend places to see and things to do. She arranged for the transportation from the airport, and made sure we are very well cared of during our entire stay. The house is exactly as described, spacious and beautiful. Kitchen is well equipped, the shower is unbelievable, the house has air conditioning which helped us have a good night sleep during hot August nights, but the best part, of course, is the terraces and the view. It was hard to leave such a gorgeous place! Thank you very much, Laskarina, for your hospitality! JuliaJulia2015-08-09T00:00:00Z
We rented this house for 2 days. 2 adults and 2 kids. The house is absolutely amazing. nothing we ever experienced before. It looks exactly as the pictures and we couldn't imagine a better "local-like" housing experience. The location of the house cannot be described in words -- on one hand you're smack in the middle of the busiest tourist location so you are minutes away from all the best restaurants, attractions and shops. on the other hand - you sit in the house (or better yet - on one of the three terraces...) and you feel like you're on a secluded island. just you and the beautiful Santorini views. It was like living in a postcard. Laskarina has been a great host. Arranged for our pick up from and to the ferry and provided a very detailed list of recommendations for shops, attractions and restaurant. Each place we tried based on her list turned out to be a gem and highly ranked in other trusted sites. Both Laskarina and the housekeeper were quick to respond to every assistance request / question we had even on a Sunday. I can't think of experiencing Santorini any other way and recommend that you don't pass up the opportunity of staying in this house.Naomi2015-10-06T00:00:00Z
Top, l'appartement est vraiement sublime et très bien situé. Acceuil & conseils très bon également.gregory2015-11-08T00:00:00Z
Laskarina arranged the transport to pick us up from the airport, and her husband John met us at the car park with a porter to carry our luggage to the cave house. This was very considerate and helpful as otherwise we would be struggling to carry the bags down the steps to the house. On our departure, John arranged for the porter to carry our bags to the car park again. We are very pleased with the service. John is a lovely guy, he shown us around the house and how things work. He gave us a mobile with his number on it so we could communicate with him whenever we need his help. The extractor fan in the bathroom wasn't working and John turned up the same day to fix it. There were bath and beach towels available. The kitchen is very functional with kettle, coffeemaker and toaster, etc. Complimentary coffee, tea bags, bottle of wine and fruits on our arrival which was very nice indeed. (Sorry we have broken a couple of glasses). There was even a full length mirror in one of the bedrooms, amazing!Sui2015-05-28T00:00:00Z

We had a great time here, as everyone has mentioned I pinch myself for finding this location, it really is excellent....bear in mind when I say that , we walked everywhere so you need to be able to walk a lot. Vinh and Stuart were not around a lot, working guys! but still had time to chat and give suggestions which was wonderful. Stanley fish market is close so wish I would have found it earlier! Very casual so therefore comfortable and the other guests we met were like minded.....Les & Wes2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
My husband and I stayed with Vinh and Stuart during our honeymoon in October 2010. Vinh and Stuart were wonderful hosts to us in their beautiful home, and left us feeling as though we were visiting friends visiting, not strangers in a far away land. I can't recommend them highly enough. My husband and I would love the opportunity to visit Sydney again someday, and look forward to seeing Vinh and Stuart when we do.Veronika2010-11-01T00:00:00Z
I really enjoyed my recent stay with Vinh and Stuart. They were friendly, welcoming and helped make my stay in Sydney a delight! They made me dinner one evening and over the course of my four days we had some great conversations about artists, the business of art, food and of course AirBnB. Staying at their place allowed me to have exactly the low key holiday that I had been hoping for. Thanks again, guys!Gordon2010-11-09T00:00:00Z
Vinh and Stu's place s perfectly located for exploring Sydney. Close enough to venture into the city, far enough away to be nice and quiet. The views out the back of the house are fantastic and the house is within an easy 10 minute walk of Darling Harbour with all its bars, restaurants and shops. Vinh and Stu are fantastic hosts, they are an easy laid back pair who are great to talk to and incredibly accommodating with lots of advice on the city to share. I would highly recommend Vinh and Stu and when we return to Sydney we will certainly look them up again.Steve & Ems2011-10-16T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed your hospitality. Thank you!Irene & Jurg2014-01-23T00:00:00Z
Exactly as advertised - great hosts with great and comfortable room. Definitely will try to come back again one day!! Thanks guys for a lovely stay!Corinne2016-03-08T00:00:00Z
Vinh and Stuart are excellent hosts with good local knowledge and a very well located home. They are very welcoming, helpful and accommodating, (and have an extremely cute dog!), and the room is comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay in Sydney with Vinh and Stuart, thanks guys!Hannah2015-03-26T00:00:00Z
Vinh and Stuart went above and beyond what was expected from my first airbnb experience. From full use of their house, the beautifully decorated bedroom with its own balcony, and all the amenities you could ever need. Even on the last day, we slept in and they were very gracious about it. Would recommend to all travelling to Sydney!Adilah2016-04-12T00:00:00Z

Wir haben 9 herrliche Tage in dem wunderschönen Cottage verbracht - es ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos! Alles notwendige ist vorhanden und ein toller Ausgangspunkt um die Insel zu erkunden! Da wir erst spät angekommen sind hat Tomeu für uns tolle Leckereien eingekauft, sodass wir direkt schon den ersten Abend mit eine Flasche guten Rotwein und ein paar Tapas auf der Terasse genießen konnten. Er ist wirklich ein sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber und seine Tochter Maria spricht sehr gut Deutsch! Sehr zu empfehlen!Andrea2015-09-13T00:00:00Z
Tomeu's place is really good, set in its own little garden/Orchard. We had some cool nights in Mallorca this time so it was really nice to come back and use the real fire in the evenings. Loseta is well placed for the mountains and the rest of the island. Tomeu's son made an effort to come and see us as we don't speak very good spanish. Enjoyed our stay . thank you very much.Manda2014-03-29T00:00:00Z
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das süße Häuschen hat alles, was für eine entspannte Zeit auf der Insel nötig ist. Es ist schön ruhig, mitten in der Natur mit schönen Bäumen. Tomeu war ein sehr netter Vermieter, der uns morgens auch mal mit frischen Ensaimada überraschte. Alles in allem, ist der Ort sehr liebevoll, gemütlich und praktisch eingerichtet und für wen es wichtig ist, WLan funktioniert richtig gut dort.Alexandra2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time during our holiday at the cottage. It's situated in a very central spot at the island. Tomeu was really helpful and willing to make our stay nice and easy. He picked us up at the train station in Lloseta and we drove to the cottage. It is recommended to rent a car while your stay. But if you have one, you can get fast to a lot of spots on the island. Tho cottage was lovely furnished and very clean. In November it was a bit cold, so we used the air condition and the fireplace. If you are looking for a nice, very calm and quiet place, have a look for this cottage.Johannes2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
Tomeu is a really good host. The stay was wonderfull and we even received a nice ensaimada (mallorcan sweet bread) one morning. Thanks!!steyn2017-01-15T00:00:00Z
We had a more than lovely stay at Tomeu's cottage. Great location with two sheep as neighbours and the Tramuntana mountains as a backdrop. Charming rustic decoration with eye for details. Great fireplace. And very clean. Would love to return!alexandra2014-04-07T00:00:00Z
Ein wahres Schätzchen! Wir haben die Finca zu zweit genutzt und konnten dort ein paar wundervolle Tage geniessen. Die Fotos halten genau das, was sie versprechen - vor Ort wirkt alles sogar noch niedlicher und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Küchenzeile ist gepflegt, es ist alles da, was man zum Kochen, Essen, Grillen und Abwaschen benötigt. Zu zweit ist auch wirklich kein Geschirrspüler nötig. Das Badezimmer ist sehr süß und hat eine schöne große Dusche. Der Kamin ist der Wahnsinn, wir hatten ihn öfter an. Perfekt um abends davor einen leckeren Wein zu trinken, ein Buch zu lesen oder einfach entspannt davor zu sitzen und über Gott und die Welt zu philosophieren. Holz zum Grillen und Feuer machen gab es zur Genüge direkt neben der Finca. Das Bett ist groß und extrem gemütlich, so dass wir morgens kaum aufstehen wollten. Allerdings lohnt es sich doch aufzustehen und ein leckeren Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf das Gelände und die süssen Bäumchen in der Sonne zu geniessen. Alle wichtigen Infos zu Lage und Umgebung stehen ja bereits in der Beschreibung oder in den anderen Bewertungen. Tomeu ist ein unglaublich zuvorkommender, hilfsbereiter und sehr lieber Gastgeber. Wir haben uns unheimlich wohl gefühlt und freuen uns schon ganz bald wieder unseren Urlaub in diesem kleinen Schätzchen zu verbringen. Danke für alles, TomeuJana2014-10-06T00:00:00Z
Petite frayeur avant de partir car la maison nécessitait des travaux le premier jour de mon arrivée. Tomeu s'est occupé de me reloger et s'est rattrapé par la suite par sa disponibilité et ses conseils. Elodieelodie2016-05-10T00:00:00Z

Quella nella casa di Antonio non è solo un esperienza di ospitalità ma molto di più. La sua casa é cura di ogni dettaglio; il giardino,l'orto, luoghi di colori e profumi. Antonio fa da guida con gesti concreti alla Sicilia. Consiglio di accettare i suoi consigli sui luoghi da visitare e gli amici che vi farà incontrare: sarà una sorpresa imperdibile.E provate la sua cucina e i vini,da ristorante stellato!cristina2015-07-23T00:00:00Z
Just wow! Antonio and his son Samir are the best hosts ever. Intelligent, humorous, tasteful, the perfect combination. It was a honor to stay there. Antonio is a pro-level cook, so don't hesitate if he can cook for you! Our nights and mornings at the table outside were very enjoyable and filling ;-) Next to that, they really gave us good tips for exploring the surroundings, for which the house is a good base.Elant2016-09-12T00:00:00Z
Great experience Just note that dinner is obviously not free and not particularly cheap. Charged 30 euro per person (four total). Certainly closer to restaurant prices even though we were sitting on his front porch.Gregory2015-06-11T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay with Antonio, the food, location and conversation was all perfect. We felt very welcome, and Antonio was very flexible and welcoming. It's a great way to get a feel for 'real' Sicilian life and food. Highly recommended and we really hope to stay again one day!Rachel2015-09-18T00:00:00Z
Antonio is a perfect host and a great Sicily promotor. He loves his island and especially the sicilian cuisine. Every evening he cooked a delicious dinner for us and let us enjoy good sicilian wines. We remember the rich breakfasts in the beautiful garden with cosy nooks. Antonio arranged a meeting with his friend Francesca who showed is the beautiful baroque town of Naro. We only stayed for two nights but wish it could have been more. This was a perfect start of our Sicily tour! Mille grazie Antonio e arrividerci! We certainly will come back.Peter2015-05-12T00:00:00Z
It was absolutely amazing to stay with Antonio and Samy and we recommend it to everybody! We travelled with our 1 year old son and felt at home right away. The garden is beautiful and a perfect place to hang out, the food is incredible (and always plenty ;)), we had wonderful conversations and got many wonderful recommendations for day trips around the area. Thank you, Antonio and Samy, we are looking forward to seeing you in Berlin soon! :)Clara2017-04-15T00:00:00Z
Great place, very helpful host with amazing cooking skills.Peter2014-10-10T00:00:00Z
Antonio is a fabulous host. He makes yout feel at home and goes the extra mile in doing so. He understands what you need beyond the obvious things (in our case, for instance, a parasol for the beach since we are travelling with a small child). He is subtly present, generous and a very nice person to have a good conversation with. The foods Antonio cooks is delicious, honest and plentiful. Just when you thing you couldn't eat another bite.... Antonio surprises you with yet another tasty dish. It was an absolute pleasure staying with Antonio.Jennifer & Hernan & Alma2015-07-14T00:00:00Z

Hosts that treat you as if youve known each other forever? THIS is what AirBnB is all about! Ever stay someplace that is so fantastic that is brings out emotions? If you like quiet, secluded old country charm you MUST stay at the gate house. If the walls could talk. Beautiful scenes, historical charm and a wonderful little Scottish village all within walking distance. Right down the road there are villages where you can have anything from traditional fish and chips to fine dining. Edinburgh is a 50 minute drive away. Definitely a memory embedded in my heart and I would love to return some day. When you come across the profile I have 3 words for you "JUST DO IT"!Rob2015-09-19T00:00:00Z
The gatehouse is absolutely lovely and an easy distance from a lot of things to do. There were loads of lovely touches to the place. Highly reccomendAlexandra2017-02-24T00:00:00Z
Diana was a wonderful host, she made sure we had everything we needed! The Gatehouse was perfect and wonderful and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Diana was so friendly and very helpful!Brandy2016-02-12T00:00:00Z
There are not enough words for our stay in the Gatehouse - the "baby castle". Diana is a wonderful host! She made us feel very welcome and at home, we had a lovely welcome basket and freshly picked flowers - and a Halloween candle. ;-) The Gatehouse is very well equiped, clean and we loved the wood burning stove. Diana gave us wonderful tips and we made beautiful trips to the Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle, the Hadrians's Wall... The weather was beautiful, we loved every minute of our stay. We were happy to see two rabbits at the last day of our stay. ;-) We hope we will come back some day!Peter2016-11-05T00:00:00Z
This Airbnb is absolutely spectacular. Apart from the obvious uniqueness of this place there is the outstanding service from Diana and the attention to detail inside from the welcome basket and information to the visit from Diana to make sure we were comfortable is second to none. We will absolutely be back again in the future to visit this property again and it will be a longer stay next time!Cameron2016-09-22T00:00:00Z
The Gatehouse is a truly lovely place to stay. The space is accurately depicted and was comfortable and warm. Diana is an ideal host and not only communicated effectively prior to my arrival but checked in with me to be sure I had everything I might require to be comfortable. She also made fantastic recommendations for things to see and transport options. Ayton is well situated for exploring both near (walking around the estate or the coastal paths at Coldingham Bay) and far (heading into Edinburgh or exploring Northumberland) and I would highly recommend it as a getaway.Betsy2016-11-16T00:00:00Z
Well, what can I say about our stay at Ayton Castle Gatehouse. IT WAS FANTASTIC!! Firstly, Diana was so efficient in communicating everything we needed to know before we arrived, where the keys would be and the quirks of the place! We arrived and were so happy to see that that lovely photos didn't do the place justice. It really is quite wonderful. Traditional without being old fashioned, super comfortable, warm and it really does have everything you would need. Diana popped in to say hello and to let us know she was nearby should we need anything. We thought she was absolutely adorable and we felt confident that should there be any problems, she could fix them. But of course there were no problems. The village has a lovely pub and shop and is perfectly positioned as a jumping off point for loads of day trips. This could easily be somewhere folk could stay for a week or two, especially with the bus stop only 1 minute walk from the gatehouse, taking you to Eyemouth, Berwick and Edinburgh. Don't think about it, just go because we will be back!!Lisa2015-11-22T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic time at the Gatehouse. Diana was so welcoming and made sure we felt at home. The gatehouse is well equipped with everything you could need. The house is really cosy and warm and our dogs loved their evenings snoozing by the fire. The grounds are amazing too. We saw some deer within ten minutes of arriving! I couldn't recommend staying here enough and hopefully we'll be back again!Alexandra2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

Stayed here for 5 days and it really is a little slice of heaven!! Loved staying here. The pool and garden are fabulous with loads of places to chill out. It is a short walk to the restaurants and beach in Balian and not far to shop and ATM. This place is really only if you surf or want to really chill out away from it all which we did. I can not recommend this place enough and made really made our stay enjoyable :)Laura2017-04-22T00:00:00Z
We had an absolutely wonderful couple of nights staying here, it's both close to Balian beach yet feels secluded and peaceful for relaxing by the pool in the evening. We hope to return again sometime!Jonny2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
We were met at the airport by Gusti who enthusiastically told us about the places we passed and provided us with helpful information. We were then met by Made who was gentle and kind and available throughout our stay and always asked us if there was anything we needed.Stephanie2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
Made was an absolutely fantastic host and we had a lovely time during our stay. Beach and several restaurants are walking distance from the villa. Beautiful pool and upstairs balcony area as well. We were able to take yoga classes at a nearby resort by the beach too. Made was so kind and humble. He cleaned our room everyday and was available anytime that we needed him. He even climbed a tree to get us coconuts while we were in the pool! He arranged transportation from the airport and to our next location on Bali too. We truly loved our stay here.Garrett2016-06-05T00:00:00Z
Yes, go there!!! This place is wonderfull, the house, the pool, the beach! We had a great time there, i can defenitly recomend the Mushroom Villa. Thank you Miryam, Mario and Putu for your warm wellcome! We like to come back again one day...Christine2015-03-05T00:00:00Z
Brilliant house, beautifully located among a lot of different trees and grass. There are some other houses nearby, but the only close neighbors we encountered were the mellow cows walking and eating the grass around the house. If you are a surfer this is a great spot to surf (I guess since there were quite some in the sea), if you are not (like me and my girlfriend) this area is still a very nice area to simply hang out on the balcony, enjoy the calm nature and the sound of a wild sea. The house has everything we could wish for, very large bed, airco, hot shower, balcony and multiple couches. You could cook, but there are plenty nice and cheap places to eat around and some deliver to your doorstep.Aldo2014-01-04T00:00:00Z
The mushroom villa is a wonderfull place for relaxation. the garden is really beutiful and there are coconut, papaya and some kind of maracuja you can eat direktly from it. also there are many possibilitys to lay down in the sun or shadow and just enjoy the day. the pool is really awesome and looks amazing especially in the nighttime. the house is very nice aswell. only the kitchen is a bit small, but its better to get food in the nice restaurants or one of the plenty warungs anyways. we totally enjoyed our time and would recommend this plays to everyone who want to take some quiet time in paradise.Michael2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
The accommodation was in lovey condition and my wife and I found it the perfect place for a relaxing beach holiday. The massages were great and a relatively cheap price. Highly recommended.Brendan2016-05-08T00:00:00Z

The house was beautiful, in a lovely tranquil area at the end of a road. The whole area felt safe and quiet. The house had absolutely everything you needed and especially loved the american style fridge with ice and cold filtered water on tap! Lovely pool and well maintained gardens made this place a real gem! Right on the edge of a national park there were plenty of tracks and trails to go walking on and exploring. The whole experience was good with great communication from both the home-owners and the agents. So much info about the local area and things to do provided we were spoilt for choice. Really was a lovely relaxing place to spend time in.Alice2015-06-13T00:00:00Z
We have just returned from the most wonderfully relaxing, family holiday at this beautiful house :) Couldn't have asked for more in terms of it's location right on the edge of the pine forest, a five minute drive to the beach at Labenne and proximity to Biarritz airport. The house itself was just lovely - modern, bright, light and airy with all the mod cons you could possibly need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The perfect home away from home! The pool was a real highlight, especially with the children - we were in it everyday as temps reached over 30 degrees all week and our evenings were spent eating BBQ outside on the deck! Agnes, Fred and their agents in Labenne were helpful and prompt on all occasions throughout the booking process and our stay. Our only regret was that we didn't book to stay longer!sue2015-08-29T00:00:00Z
We booked this house to surprise my dad for his 60th birthday, so we were 8 adults. It was excellent, it was comfortable and had plenty of space for us all. The decor and outside terrace was beautiful. Very peaceful and the garden is on the edge of the forest offers an idyllic view. Even in the rain we managed to enjoy the pool and walk to the beach. The local area is quiet out of season but had everything we needed. We visited Biarritz and San Sebastián both recommended day trips. Agnes and Fred were excellent hosts and the contact leading up to the visit was always prompt and helpful. They gave us a long list of recommendations and directions for travel. Nadia, the lady that greeted us was also very helpful. We would certainly return and would recommend the house and hosts highly.Katherine2016-06-19T00:00:00Z
Beautiful house 5 minutes drive from Labenne beach. Nadia met us on arrival at the house and made us most welcome. The house is perfectly situated for a relaxing week at the end of a quiet culture de sac yet just a short drive from Capbreton and it's magnificent beaches.guy2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Made to feel very welcome, a nice bottle of champagne. Lovely house, beautifully decorated with brilliant beds. Few problems with the pool but they were very good about getting it sorted. Love the design and feel of house and very helpful agent and pool man!Wendy2015-07-25T00:00:00Z
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la Villa d'Agnès et Fred. Le lieu idéal pour se reposer et profiter de ma famille: plage, balades en forêt, à vélo,... La maison était à la hauteur de nos espérances. Grande terrasse en bordure de forêt, belle circulation entre extérieur et intérieur, univers chaleureux. La villa est très bien équipée, et grand plus: le passage d'un paysagiste chaque semaine pour entretenir jardin et piscine,... Nous reviendrons dans cette maison avec grand plaisir!!marc2014-05-25T00:00:00Z
On recommande. On a passé une semaine magnifique en famille. Nos deux garçons se sont régalés et nous aussi. MerciSébastien2017-05-06T00:00:00Z
Wow wow wow! We had a fabulous time here. The Villa was so peaceful yet places to drive to. We walked through the forest to Lebanne Ocean where we hired bikes. There's some lovely places to cycle along side the waterways and we felt safe on the cycle tracks. We drove to Bayonne which is beautiful. The villa is superb and very cosy with everything you need. Nadia was great and Agnes was very informative sending us lots of info before we arrived and messaged us while we were there to see how we were finding the villa which was lovely. The bottle of champagne in the fridge was perfect when we arrived after a long drive from England. We will definitely be back!! We ate well, drank well and slept well :-)Emma2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

Dory met us at the nearby bar 'la Guardiola' and took us to the house which would have been difficult to find on our own. The house is beautifully situated with a wonderful view over the Adriatic. We enjoyed the outside space, especially in the mornings when the sun shone on the east-facing terrace. The bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and local pastries that Dory had got in for us were a nice welcoming touch. The beds are comfortable and the flyscreens on the windows mean you can sleep with the windows open if you wish.Eimear2015-05-30T00:00:00Z
La Salentina was a very nice home, clean, and stocked with necessities to make our stay as perfect as the view from the terrace. Dory with her friend Federico could not have been more helpful in all requests, from places to visit, reservations at restaurants, or where to shop. They both wanted our vacation to be as enjoyable as possible and they succeeded. If we were to visit Puglia again our only call would be to Dory. Thank you again for a great stay.ROGER2016-04-07T00:00:00Z
We took a family vote on the way back to Dublin and all agreed: best holiday ever! the accommodation is clean, spacious and tastefully laid out, the kitchen has everything you need the air con works perfectly - thank god! and then there is the view, and the two large balcony areas. dory has built a cushioned seats (6) cover and lit ( at night) area on one of the balcony which became my wife's and I's favorite place for reading , chat and maybe one more glass of wine :). dory as a host is a standard bearer. Super in every way with daily tips via txt on whats on locally and where we should go, which restaurants then making bookings for us directly so we got ' taken care of. yes, the real five star treatment.Karl2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
Accoglienza perfetta . Dory si è resa disponibile per soddisfare qualsiasi nostra richiestasonia2015-09-17T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful and relaxing 4 night stay at Dory's house. The balconies and porch areas are just as beautiful as shown. Please note that the water is across the coastal highway, which does provide some noise, but did not bother us. Since we visited in late October, we did not go to the beach or in the water. The view is gorgeous! Dory's house is perfect for a small family as it has a total of 4 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms. However, we enjoyed it as a couple and loved the flexibility! We particularly appreciated the washing machine after 2 weeks of travel. (The rails of the twin beds made a perfect extended indoor drying rack!)Tawnya2016-11-03T00:00:00Z
To say we had a wonderful experience is truly an understatement! Dori and her husband were our hosts and they were just amazing. The house is most certainly stunning, but the hosts also contributed a lot to our experience. We were greeted in town by frederico who took us to the villa, it is quite out of the way so you will need guidance,but this is what makes the house so amazing. At the house Dori an her husband greeted us with freshly baked bread and a lovely bottle of Prosseco. My husband ha a dental emergency and Dori organised an appointment for us at the dentist. They even drove us there! When we wanted to go to dinner Dori made a reservation for us and sent directions. We were also provided with WiFi. To The house is out of the way and you will need a car, but it is set in a beautiful place overlooking the ocean with a gorgeous veranda. Top quality amenities can be found including a dishwasher and washing machine. There is a very cute bar about 500m from the house overlooking the cliffs and ocean. This is a must see! There is also a beautiful view over the ocean if you drive down the mountain. This was amazing and exactly what we were looking for.:peaceful,beautiful, non tourist, and an absolute stay to remember!!!!!!!Hofmeyr2015-06-18T00:00:00Z
Amazing house - everything felt very new and super clean. Gorgeous location. Dory was so welcoming and friendly, as was Federico who talked us through all the local beaches and sites and booked us in at an amazing local fish restaurant the first night. Such a shame we only had 2 nights in this lovely house.Theresa2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
How great to stay in Dory's home, a amazing place near the sea. Dory is very kind her advices concerning exploring environment had been great. Check-in and check-out had been uncomplicated, as everything else. I am sure I will try to stay at this place again, when I will be in Italy again!Frank2015-11-24T00:00:00Z

Sharing the same lower lines as its sibling hardtop coupe, the GTC opts to let the sun shine in via a power-operated retracting softtop. Under the hood sits the same 6.0-liter W12 engine that produces 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque in the coupe. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, the Continental GTC will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. Keep your Church's Warrik leather driving shoe pushed to the floor and 100 mph will pass by in 10.9 seconds as you proceed towards a top speed of 195 mph.
This second-generation Continental GTC boasts the same upgraded interior amenities as the coupe, including the (thankfully!) updated nav system, plethora of color choices and optional Naim audio. Twenty-inch wheels are the standard set, while 21-inch rollers are available as an option.
For those who have the means, Bentley is taking orders now, and lucky customers will take delivery towards the end of 2011. The rest of the world will get to see the car in person at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Ready to take a deeper dive into the world of the 2012 Bentley Continental GTC? Click past the jump for the full press release, then take a gander at the convertible from all angles in our gallery.
• Bold, contemporary, sculpted design employing advanced production technology.
• Sensuous, luxurious, hand-crafted cabin with class-leading infotainment.
• Coupe-like refinement with unrivalled comfort and practicality.
• More powerful 6.0-litre W12 engine with Flexfuel capability, delivering exhilarating performance.
• Uprated chassis for a more dynamic and engaging open-top driving experience.
(Crewe, England. August 2011). The second generation of Bentley's iconic Continental GTC convertible will debut at next month's International Automobile Exhibition (IAA) in Frankfurt.
Taking cues from its GT coupe sibling launched last year, the new Continental GTC builds on the highly successful foundation of the previous cabriolet, which premiered in 2006. Bentley's design and engineering teams have improved virtually every aspect of the iconic convertible with an uncompromising focus on quality.
While the first Continental GTC was elegant and understated, the sharper radii and assertive stance of the new model delivers a more contemporary and muscular presence. Advanced manufacturing techniques produce aluminium front wings without the need for seams or welds creating the look and feel of a coach-built car. Twenty-inch wheels are now standard with two styles of 21-inch wheel, a first for GTC, available as an option, reinforcing the distinctive, sporting stance of the new Bentley luxury convertible.
The four-seater luxury convertible features a new, even more spacious and luxurious hand-crafted cabin, with soft-touch leather hides, an extensive range of wood veneers, cool-touch metals and deep-pile carpets. There are 17 standard soft-touch leather hide colours with six colour split combinations, complemented by a range of seven veneers, all produced by Bentley's talented craftsmen and women.
The GTC's renowned coupe-like refinement is also enhanced. The tailored, multi-layered fabric hood is complemented by acoustic glass and under-body panels, for optimum noise isolation.
Superb everyday practicality for a luxury convertible was a hallmark of the original GTC and much valued by its customers. The cabin of the new GTC is now even more practical, with additional rear legroom, new storage solutions and innovative features such as touch-screen infotainment, automatic seat-belt presenters and a Bentley-designed Neck Warmer for comfortable roof-down motoring whatever the temperature are all provided as standard.
A wider track, front and rear, sharper steering and retuned suspension provides a more exhilarating and class-leading drive. Bentley's advanced all-wheel drive system features a new 40:60 rear torque bias (compared with 50:50 of the original GTC) minimising understeer during hard cornering and allowing the spirited driver to manage the car's line and balance via precise throttle control.
This compelling dynamic package is combined with a more powerful 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine as well as a new QuickShift transmission enabling faster gear changes than ever before. Power output is raised from 560PS to 575PS (567bhp/423kW) and the famed Bentley 'wave of torque' has been increased by a further 50Nm to 700Nm (516lb ft).
"The GTC has always been the most emotional model in the Continental range and a showcase for Bentley design. With its tailored soft top, the GTC is a pure British convertible true to those classic Bentleys of the past. However, the technology, performance and overall design excellence invested in this model means that we are now writing a new chapter for the Bentley convertible driver." -Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and Chief Executive, Bentley Motors.
The Bentley Continental GTC is now available to order and first customer deliveries will begin in late 2011.
Sculpted exterior design
• Advanced production techniques such as aluminium Super Forming (front wings) allow for a more sculpted body and sharp 'power lines.'

August 18, 2010
LONDON, UK (rushPRnews) 08/18/10 — As showers dampen the UK summer Keen becomes the adventure sandal of choice at FitnessFootwear.com
The expanded range of Keen sandals and shoes has seen them make significant inroads into the competitive outdoor performance footwear market, and rise to the top of the best selling outdoor adventure footwear charts, due to their exceptional toe protection system and famed durability. The introduction of the Newport H2 sandal to the range of performance outdoor footwear at Fitnessfootwear.com saw the innovative brand rapidly rise to the top of the sandal charts for their versatility in coping with extreme wet environments, and also functioning perfectly well on dry land.
Keen sandals first came on the market in 2003 with the release of a sandal which responded perfectly to a gap in the market for a more rugged summer outdoor sandal with the extra toe protection capable of dealing with wild white water and trekking.
The problems with many sandal designs is that when the increased forces of water come into play the designs come up short. Whilst rugged designs protect well on dry land, there are few choices which can cope with the increased force of the water. The additional pressure created between upper and sole sees sandals rapidly torn apart. Underwater hazards require additional toe protection and their unique toe bumper gives the level of protection required for canoeing, kayaking, bouldering and canyoning to prevent painful stubbed toes. Keen developed the sandals to offer superior protection which features throughout their range, which has now been expanded to provide models for the full range of water sports, and dry land hiking and trekking.
The protection provided has seen many sandal enthusiasts switch brands in favour of the extra features which Keen footwear offers, and have won hardened shoe and boot fans over to a more lightweight summer footwear choice. Fitnessfootwear.com has seen the popularity grow rapidly and the brand has no become the adventure sandal of choice for their customers.
The same infamous toe protection has now been combined with a more rugged style with Keen shoes offering hardened hiking shoe and boot fanatics something more lightweight and protective than the standard fare, whilst giving extra protection to the feet than their sandals. Fitnessfootwear.com now stocks the Targhee II range which is set to become a firm favourite with customers being suitable for year round wear. The toe bumper design still feature in the boots and shoes, whilst a more rugged design is better suited for serious off road hiking with more ankle protection and superb underfoot cushioning.
As summer approaches and outdoor enthusiasts are seeking a more lightweight shoe, Keen offer a stylish range which gives comfort and coolness of sandals without compromising protection. For outdoor adventures Keen have become the most popular brand at Fitnessfootwear.com and the introduction of the more robust models has added more breadth to the range which is certain to win over more fans.
Their durability is highly regarded providing incredible value with years of heavy use possible without excessive wear and tear. Keen have been developed to offer something extra which is not catered for by many performance brands, and their niche following has now expanded and sees them become one of the British outdoor footwear brands of choice.

RUSSIA is funding the Taliban's guerrilla war against the American-backed government of Afghanistan, leaders of the fundamentalist group have claimed.
In a move that carries echoes of attempts by the United States to undermine Soviet forces during their occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, Russian intelligence is now providing covert backing to a resurgent Taliban, senior figures in the extreme Islamic movement have alleged.
The alarming claim will prove acutely embarrassing to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been trying to rebuild relations with the US in the wake of the acrimonious split between the two countries over Iraq.
Engineer Hamidullah, the Taliban's former deputy chief of finance, says the Taliban now receive as much funding as they did when Osama bin Laden bank-rolled them before September 11.
"There are some countries that are against the policies of the US and the United Nations, and they support the guerrillas. The most important role belongs to Russia, Iran and Pakistan," he said.
In the 1980s, the CIA's funding of the Afghan Mujahedin on a massive scale wore down the Russians and eventually forced them to leave. The backing, both financial and military, was never admitted by the US.
According to Taliban sources in neighbouring Pakistan and Afghan intelligence sources, the group has a new hierarchy of leaders orchestrating opposition to the US-sponsored Afghan government of Hamed Karzai from Afghanistan and Pashtun tribal areas of north-west Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the Taliban has been mounting increasingly brazen attacks in Afghanistan. Last month its forces seized two remote districts near the Pakistan border and held them for nearly a week.
New-found confidence among the Taliban has led some of its leaders to speak publicly for the first time since the launch of the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom 18 months ago.
Abdul Salam - the former chief justice of the Taliban's Supreme Court - last week told the Christian Science Monitor newspaper that the Afghan people now want the Taliban back "because during the Taliban times, there was peace and security".
He was contemptuous of Karzai. Referring to the national council (loya jerga) that chose him, he pointed a finger to his head like a gun and said: "The last loya jirga was done by force. But if there was a real loya jirga, and the people who were appointed were good, then I would work with my head and feet and heart for my country."
Salam, who achieved notoriety in the days of Taliban rule by claiming that Afghanistan had the right to execute foreign aid workers who were trying to convert Afghans to Christianity, lives in his native Logar Province, near Kabul. He refuses to talk about his activities in the Taliban today, but admits that he maintains contact with the movement.
Commenting on the alleged backing of Russia, Pakistan and Iran, he said: "The Russians are not happy with the US presence here, and neither are Iran, Pakistan and even China."
Salam's interview followed a public claim by another Taliban leader, Mullah Dadullah, that the Taliban had regrouped under the leadership of Mullah Omar, their one-eyed spiritual leader, who is still being hunted by the Americans. Dadullah claimed personal credit for a number of the recent Taliban attacks on coalition forces, and said that the Taliban would fight until "Jews and Christians, all foreign crusaders" were expelled from Afghanistan.
He added that the Taliban were also receiving money from the Afghan people.
A third senior Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Hasan Rehmani, former governor of Kandahar, has also re-emerged to renew calls for a "holy war" against the Americans and their allies.
Speaking to a journalist over a satellite phone, something no Taliban leader would have dared to do previously for fear of being tracked by American satellites, he described Karzai as "an American clerk and a toy in the hands of the Northern Alliance", which dominates the present Afghan government.
Despite the massive technological superiority of their forces in Afghanistan and the millions of dollars offered as rewards, the Americans have not managed to catch or kill any of the Taliban's top leadership.
The fact that many of the names in the new leadership structure are well known from the former regime undermines last week's announcement by US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld that major combat operations in Afghanistan are at an end.
Barnett Rubin, an expert on Afghanistan at New York University, said:
"They [the Taliban] are now organising for a new offensive and they are still getting some support from Pakistan. Even if Pakistan is not cooperating directly, it is not cooperating in efforts to end the support that is coming from Pakistani territory."
Shahzada Zulfikar, a Quetta-based political analyst, said Taliban commanders continue to receive support from Pakistan's powerful and secretive intelligence agencies, as they did openly during the time of the Taliban government.
"Pakistan ditched the Taliban due to American pressure, for a while, but now there are fears that their relationship might be restored."
While Pakistan still provides a safe haven for the anti-government Afghan fighters as it did when the Mujahedin were fighting the Russians, there is now a new twist to the Great Game. The Russians, it appears, are on the same side, not on the receiving end.
No one was available for comment at the Russian embassy in London last night.
AT THE top of the Taliban's new military command structure is Mullah Beradar, a native of the home village of the infamous Mullah Omar.
Beradar has been hunted relentlessly by the Americans, and at various times has been reported injured or dead.
Under Mullah Beradar are Taliban commanders and religious leaders assigned to different territories. The most active region, from Nimroz Province to Helmand, Kandahar, Zabul, and north to Urozgan, is under the joint control of Beradar's top three deputies.
The first, Akhtar Usmani, former Taliban corps commander in Kandahar, is also a close companion of Omar. Both men taught in the same madrassa (religious school). Omar is said to have named Usmani as his successor in case of his death after he went into hiding from the Americans in November 2001.
Second is Mullah Abdur Razzaq, a founding member of the Taliban, who rose to head of the customs department and then interior minister.
According to Ahmed Rashid's book Taliban: Islam, Oil and the New Great Game in Central Asia, Razzaq admitted having given the order to kill General Mohammed Najibullah, the pro-Soviet president, who was executed when the Taliban captured Kabul in 1996.
The third man, Mullah Dadullah, was military chief in Kunduz on the front lines against the Northern Alliance, and negotiated its surrender. In his former role he notoriously presided over public hangings from cranes.

Freshman Christian Vieira (Houston, Texas/Memorial) nearly earned a win at No. 5, falling in three sets, 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (10-7).
The Hawks came up short in doubles play as junior Freddy Marcinkowski (Sparta, N.J./Sparta) and sophomore Ramy Bekhiet (Robbinsville, N.J./Robbinsville) fell 8-4 at No. 1 and rookies Przemyslaw Filipek (Bedzin, Poland/Second Lo [Silesia]) and Bee Kumthonkittikul (Bangkok, Thailand/Pendleton School) were edged 8-5 at No. 3.
The Hawks hit the road again next Monday and Tuesday for a pair of matches against Morgan State and Coppin State in Baltimore, Md.

The 33-year-old chef has swapped chocolate for coffee since moving to Australia.
"Even if I'm working in the morning I will make time for breakfast," he said.
Pancakes and hash browns at McDonald's are a special treat for Bruno Garasi and Sandra Taylor's daughter Madeleine, 9.
"Breakfast is usually toast or something like that. Nothing special," Mr Garasi said.
Busy mornings sometimes meant he skipped breakfast, but "I always make sure the kids have something".

23 people just voted on Pizza Hut Triple Treat Box
Admittedly, if you're more than one person eating this thing, it's not THE MOST disgusting thing in the world. HOWEVER, you can totally imagine someone rolling up and unfurling the contents of their Treat Box (2 medium pizzas, an order of fries, an order of chicken sticks, and a big ass pizza-sized cookie) for just themselves.
Feel the fantasy and create your own Triple Treat Box

Olive Garden Breadstick Sandwich
In June 2015, your dreams will finally come true. Assuming you have had the dream of eating a chicken parm or meatball sandwich, made with Olive Garden breadsticks. It's totally how they do it in Italy!

KFC Double Down
Now, if you want to look at the positive side of KFC's Double Down- bacon and cheese with deep-fried chicken patties as "buns"- you can think of it as a fairly carb-friendly fast food option. You can also think of it as 540 grams of artery-clogging protein that packs 32 grams of fat and 1430 grams of sodium into a single "sandwich".

KFC Famous Bowl
That Colonel just doesn't let up, does he? He's on our list again, but this time for his KFC Famous Bowl, whose visual appeal almost matches its deranged nutritional value.
The bowl combines, or rather mushes, mashed potatoes, corn, fried chicken, gravy, and a three-cheese blend into one trough of a next-morning-looking meal.
Eating one of these things will cut you back 690 calories and 31 grams of fat. Relatively sound considering the rest of the list, but horrible considering that this will not be your only meal that day.
Also, the only thing famous about this "famous bowl" is the rolls. Attached to your body.

Wendy's Baconator
Anything named "Baconator" has got to be a lethal weapon. The terrorists are definitely winning when this is one of the more "tame" items on this list.
Pictured here with six patties for extreme fat effect, the Baconator has got to be some kind of weapon of biological warfare. Contributing to the selling of this sandwich has to be some kind of treason.
And yet, Wendy's offering it on their menu (in a weaker, triple-meat version) for 1330 calories and 51 grams of fat. A premium bun filled with three beef patties and layered with bacon, mayo, ketchup, and American cheese.
And somewhere in the world, people are starving. Where's your God now?
