Meet Unwaxed Lemons – our sun-baked, soul-rich edit that captures the full cultural spectrum of the Mediterranean. From the salty breeze of the Cyclades to the ochre hills of inland Tuscany, this is a curated world of design hotels, rural prose, boutique hideaways and little boltholes of soul – places that echo the pace, texture, and quiet drama of Mediterranean life.

This Edit moves to its own rhythm – a visual and sensory moodboard of natural materials, heritage textures, and unapologetically local character. Here you’ll find guesthouses on olive estates, designer conversions in sun-dappled villages, and clifftop pads with a wink of hedonism. It’s a celebration of place – whether you’re tucked away in the citrus groves of Sicily, the vineyards of Empordà, or by the sea on a lesser-known Greek island.

Unwaxed Lemons is more than a clever edit of just where to stay – it’s how to feel. Woven through each location is a cultural thread: stories of Mediterranean makers, studios, ateliers, and craftspeople keeping tradition alive. Ceramics thrown by hand, oils pressed with pride, linen dyed in small batches, and wine aged with purpose – these are the quiet heroes of the Med’s design legacy.

Each place, each person, is chosen for their authenticity, their aesthetic, and their deep sense of connection. This is travel that leans into locality, speaks with style, and leaves a trace.

Unwaxed Lemons is a travel edit for those who crave the good life in its raw, crafted, and culture-soaked form. Come for the design hotels – stay for the soul.
