Spa review: Luxury Pedicure at ESPA, Corinthia Hotel, London. Mon 10th Sept 2012.


It's Curbappeal:
- Ultra spacious nail studio set in a huge hushed luxurious spa
- Plush but relaxing decor, think funky chandelier style lights, mirrored art deco cabinets, comfy textured leather cream & pale greys chairs

Treatment: Luxury Pedicure. Included use of an electric file (so much more effective than manual filing), divine leg massage & paraffin wax booties to make your feet feel extra soft. Lush.

The bill: ouch for a pedicure (£85) but treatment lasted >1hr & my feet felt fully pampered & soft. Whole experience thoroughly relaxing from start to finish

Recommended?: definitely - great option if you feel like treating yourself to a decent pedicure (which many places in London struggle to offer in my view) in this luxurious spa set in one of Londons top 5* hotels

Hotel Review: Kuum Hotel, Golturkbuku, Bodrum Peninsula, Turkey: July 2012

What's the Curbappeal?
- 'Tracy Island' for beautiful people
- AMAZING sea views from rooms of bay, yachts & clear Aegean sea
- Very cool 'beach club' - people arriving on speed boats & jet skis from their yachts

Cuisine: we ate at both the Italian & fish restaurants. Both have romantic settings right by the sea. Excellent food.

Our room: 12. Amazing views. Decent sized terrace. Funky colourful mid-century modern chairs. Glass partition between bathroom & bedroom allowing stunning sea view from the shower

Bill: little bit ouch but definitely worth it

Recommended: most definitely

With Love,
Ms. Curbappeal x

Hotel Review: Casa dell' Arte Residence, Torba, Bodrum Peninsula,Turkey. July 2012

It's Curbappeal:
- Feeling of an exclusive personal villa with your own staff
- Unique combination of art gallery & hotel
- Picture perfect location

Crowd: monied.

Food rating: very good

Our room: Virgo. Large, very quiet & view over the pool.

The bill: pricey but boy is it worth it

Recommended: most definitely. Make sure if you want a more exclusive break you choose 'The Residence' not 'The Luxury Family Resort' - the latter is in a separate building next door & whilst it's still v nice its aimed at families (hence the name!) & definitely not as exclusive as The Residence
