Where to go on holiday in March 2023 - Condé Nast Traveller

Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo . Don't miss fresh fritto misto at Marina Grande, the town's old fishing harbour, or Michelin-starred Il Buco in the cellars of an old monastery, where chef Peppe Aversa serves seasonal ingredients under a stone-hewn, vaulted ceiling.

North Fork Dream Home: Modern farmhouse new-build with everlasting views - Northforker

-

The very best of both worlds collide in this modern farmhouse new construction set in Riverhead where owners will enjoy a stunning brand new home with quintessential North Fork views from nearly every room.

"This new construction comes with the added luxury that no other new homes can be built around it," said listing agent Nicholas Sekela of eXp Realty. "The development rights surrounding the property have been sold which means picture-perfect views for you to enjoy, forever."

The spacious four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home that's spread across 3,500-square-feet was built on an exquisite piece of land with protected farm and golf course views throughout.

Builders Bill and Jeff Camp built this home to the highest standards of construction with luxurious living in mind.

The home's first floor features a comfortable open concept floorplan with grand ceilings – over 20 feet tall. On this level, you'll find an impressive great room, a designer chef's kitchen with an entire suite of high-end Italian Bertazzoni appliances, a stunning dining room and a primary suite with a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom as well as two walk-in closets. There's also a powder room and spacious laundry room off the oversized two-car garage. 

"The great room features a beautiful fireplace donning a mantel reclaimed from a mid-1700s Upstate New York farmhouse, which is a nice contrast in such a modern setting," added Sekela.

Upstairs, there are additional spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom as well. And the unfinished basement features 2,000-square-feet of potential living space.

"This gorgeous modern farmhouse provides a dreamy escape amidst serene farm views while still being a short drive from all the great things the North Fork has to offer," Sekela said. "This home is perfect for those who love finer finishes, generously sized rooms, peaceful surroundings, and superb views."

It is listed at $1,290,000.

Susan Law Cain/Shutterstock With their gable roofs and symmetrical windows, colonial houses can make quite a statement. Classic, elegant, and charming, they've become embedded in the white picket fence, American dream imagery. According to Wentworth Studio, the colonial revival began in the 1880s and lasted until around 1945. The simplicity of these homes makes them the perfect candidate for additions, alterations, and renovation. American colonial homes tend to have a symmetrical floor plan, with the front door right in the middle of the front exterior and usually flanked by large columns and tall windows. They are impressive buildings, and flippers and renovators enjoy bringing these houses up to a modern standard. Sometimes it's a s...
