We are delighted to announce that, after several years without a direct link, Heathrow is due to receive daily scheduled flights from the Madeiran capital Funchal, starting from November 2011. Operated by national carrier TAP Air Portugal, the flights depart Heathrow every morning at 06:40, arriving in Funchal at 10:25. The return flight leaves Funchal at 18:20 and lands back at 22:05. This schedule is ideal for anyone wishing to enjoy a short break on the island, allowing you to make the most of both your arrival and your departure day.
New Boutique Hotel in Istanbul - Sokullu Pasa
Istanbul's status as European Capital of Culture 2010 has further boosted this fascinating city's popularity as a short-break destination, so we are delighted to add another boutique hotel in the historic district of Sultanahmet, close to all the major sights. Since its reopening following extensive renovations, the Sokullu Pasa has been earning rave reviews on tripadvisor and similar sites, especially for the highly personal service offered by its friendly team.

Our new destination for 2011: Chios
We are delighted to introduce our new destination for next summer: the charming Greek island of Chios in the eastern Aegean, just north of Samos. Served by convenient scheduled flight connections via Athens, Chios is the fifth-largest island in Greece, and arguably one of the most fascinating and sophisticated. As yet, tourism has played a fairly minor role here, so that you can still find virgin beaches, unspoilt fishing villages and intact mountain scenery. We offer a wide range of accommodation on the island, from unpretentious studios right on the beach via stylish suites created in restored village houses in the medieval mastic villages, to one of Greece's most exclusive hotels set in a historic mansion amidst a beautiful citrus plantation.
