Europe

The coasts, spas and makers we cross an ocean for.

Europe has long set the pace for a certain kind of luxury: the French pharmacy shelf, Italian linen, Portuguese ceramics, the thermal spa taken as seriously as a meal. This section follows that thread, from the Riviera and the Amalfi Coast to Alpine and lakeside retreats, and brings the best of it home, with European-made products we would happily ship across the Atlantic. We choose from published information, certifications we verify on the certifier's own records, reputable travel and design coverage, and what each hotel or maker discloses. When an editor has stayed or shopped somewhere, the story says so, and any hosted stay is disclosed at the top.
