By: Jessica Hall HIDDEN HIDEAWAYS ABOVE: MATUGAMA, SIR LANKA PALUZZA, ITALY TOPANGA, CALIFORNIA, USA VALS, SWITZERLAND A dmittedly I have played this game every year with my family: Would we rather stay in a hotel or stay in a luxury private home? My answer has always been the same: You can't go wrong with a five-star hotel. Excellent service, tons of amenities, mini bar, kids club, and minimal interruptions. No need to explain, what I did or didn't do or forgot to do, every time there's a knock on the door. But after a recent getaway with my husband to Sedona, my mind somewhat changed. I decided to be ambitious and take the kids on the next journey, thinking it would be a terrific opportunity for us to reconnect as a family. So, I began to do what I do best - research my options. And while on the hunt for new gems that are kid-friendly, I came across a new book from Lannoo that showcases some of the most exquisite holiday homes, Mountain View. Mountain View features travel journalist, Sebastiaan Beadux's, thirty picks of the most stylish hideouts in the world. A plus, all the homes featured are available for rent and have outstanding mountain views. Mountain View highlights not only architecturally beautiful hidden gems but also includes practical information such as contact details for renting the home and suggestions for what to do in the area. e properties range in size and price tags, but all are truly unique, and I can't wait to take in the incredible architecture and beauty of their natural surroundings!
