We recently checked into the Charles Hotel in the heart of Harvard Square for a staycation in the city.
Martha's Vineyard: SUMMERCAMP
Full disclosure: I've never camped a day in my life.
Vermont: Stowe, Green Mountain Inn
If you're ever in Stowe over Easter weekend, like we were, where not a whole lot is open, and the town is quite deserted, you had better have booked a room at the Green Mountain Inn.
With all the cosiness and history of a charming lodge, all the ammenities you could ask for, all the luxury in the rooms (that you never want to leave!) and all the Green Mountain coffee you could drink, it's a wonderful place to stay.
I wasn't even paid to say so!

Greece: Santorini, Sunny Villas
What's it like living in a cave, you ask?
I was dying to stay at Sunny Villas after my endless research on hotels in Santorini. The idea of staying in a CAVE was appealing. In real life, it was a difficult hotel to get to, but I imagine many of the hotels on Santorini to be the case, as the town is built on the side of a volcanic caldera, not to be confused with a crater. And it's STEEP, y'all! Hotel Sunny Villas had incredible caldera and sunset views from the terrace, but the actual cave-like habitat was rather claustophobic, for us. Still, it was incredible to be situated right in front of the Skaros rock, which used to be a medieval fortress, that we hiked on the last day of our trip (more on that later). For now, this.
Greece: Mykonos, Hotel St. John
Only the best. hotel. ever.
