The Blue Vespa

While you’ll be surrounded by one of the liveliest parts of London, this home has a peaceful air to it that instils tranquility in its guests. With honey-hued original floors and soothing green walls, the bright living area opens up into one beautiful elongated room, ideal for spending time all together. Modern and simple furniture is elevated by antique mirrors and gorgeous original fireplaces, while the large marble kitchen and inviting wooden dining table make this home excellent for entertaining. When you crave privacy, run a hot bath and take a luxurious soak in the clawfoot tub before retiring to one of the three tasteful bedrooms. Exploring London is easy from this base in Notting Hill, where you’ll be surrounded by colourful homes, delicious restaurants and crowded bars. You’ll be just a seventeen-minute walk from Portobello Road Market, which fills with over a thousand antique stalls on Saturdays – spend an afternoon treasure hunting before heading off to explore the rest of the city.

Please note all stays of 10 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
