luxury weekend help !!!
 

I am trying to plan a 3 night wkd in Oct along the lines of Villa d'Este, Gleneagles, Ciprianni luxury. Some activities such as golf,tennis,hiking, or water sports; and gourmet food (think Le Cirque2000, Alain Ducasse) <BR> <BR>Impossible too have it all I am sure, however... <BR> <BR>Little Palm Island was in the running until I read in the forums that 2 nights were enough there. <BR> <BR>Any new suggestions? Thought of The Point in Saranac(post foliage season though) Round Hill in Jamaica... <BR>Any input would be appreciated. <BR> <BR>thnx <BR>

Hmmm. I've stayed at both Villa d'Este and Cipriani...small world this forum! <BR>Have you checked into Twin Farms in Barnard, VT just outside of Woodstock? $1000 a night minimum but great food, any request will be honored re: food, picnics arranged, etc. A little like The Point (from what I've heard) but less stuffy. <BR>A trip to Chateau du Sureau east of the SF Bay area would also be a consideration if outstanding food and unique accom's are keys. Side trip to Yosemite would be easy to dovetail. <BR>Are you geographically limited? (3 days only, I'm guessing you are in the NE). <BR>Ever been to the Inn at Little Washington. Been awhile since I was there and recent comments on food have been mixed in some of the luxe travel magazines, but a nice experience nonetheless.

This is a small forum...you guessed correctly- we are geographically limited(have to visit sureau and the new villa another time)...being that we are flying out of NY. <BR> <BR>Great suggestions...may I be greedy and ask if anyone has any others??(it is past foliage season @ that time-so TF is out) <BR>THNX again

moving this up!!!

Have you considered the Wauwinnet on Nantucket? I've never stayed there, maybe October is too late in the season. But it looks gorgeous, and has a reputation for great food.
