The cool, calm retreat less than an hour from Venice without high prices and crowds
Green hills rise up around me like a choppy sea as the tuneful twittering of blackbirds and European serins ebbs through the air. This place is only a 40-minute drive from Venice, with its day-tripper tax and madding crowds. Yet, save for a farmer trundling around in a compact tractor, there’s not a soul in sight. Le Colline del Conegliano e Valdobbiadene – or the Prosecco Hills, as it’s also known – is a 22,000-acre swath of neatly pleated, steeply-slanted vineyards, woodland and Italian villa...
I take five solo UK breaks a year – here’s how I save money
A holiday in the UK offers an easy route to decompression: no passport panic, no last-gasp airport rush. They’re familiar but unexpected, interesting but still comfortable. Going solo is even better: you can do exactly what you want, when you want. It is pricier though. Hotel rooms for one tend to be the same price as doubles, and single supplements are common. However, through trial and error, I’ve learned how to cut costs without packing lunches or sleeping in a car. Cheap and successful solo...

Yet this year, it’s looking like more people are tightening their belts than loosening them. Recent research from PwC suggests that nine out of 10 Britons are concerned about the rising cost of living, with 80 per cent planning to rein in spending over the next three months. It’s not all doom and gloom, though. A recent global travel intent survey conducted by Allian...

Can Newcastle go posh? Our honest review of city’s first five-star hotel
In a far cry from the late noughties zeitgeist of Geordie Shore, Hotel Gotham offers a fresh brand of sexy that differentiates Newcastle from its MTV days. Once famous as the hangout for characters from that reality show, like Scotty T and Gary ‘the parsnip’ Beadle, Newcastle has quietly been building a higher-end repertoire of bars and restaurants. Sitting at the heart of this shift following its launch late last year is the city’s first five-star venue, Hotel Gotham. The StayThe hotel...
20-mile diversion or five-hour queue: New Dover EES farce for UK holidaymakers
Plans to avoid holidaymakers getting stuck in hours-long queues for post-Brexit border checks at Dover or the Eurotunnel this summer could involve driving to a different site, 20 miles from the port.

I swapped a European holiday for a UK break – the lack of stress was priceless
Like most people in this country, I’m having sleepless nights over my summer holiday.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to global energy shortages and it’s unclear how airlines will manage during the summer months, when there is typically a 25 per cent increase in flights in and out of the UK.
