Everything New In Weddings Right Now
FOR A HONEYMOON:
Casa La Siesta
Created by the founders of London interiors brand Bert & May, Casa la Siesta in southern Spain has reopened after a major refurbishment, including an expansion of the kitchen garden that supplies the hotel’s restaurant with fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables. With a heated outdoor pool, open fires in the main salon in the evenings and bright sunny days guaranteed, it’s a great option for anyone looking to book a simple honeymoon. We recommend the redone Suite 5, which features the new Bert & May tile collection ‘Irregular’. Mostly adults only, just be aware the hotel does set aside specific weeks to host families every year.
