This gorgeous family home in West London is cut from the finest cloth, embodying the city’s spirit at its most elegant and its most welcoming. You’ll find both Latin American and Dutch influences in this home that’s at once timeless and in perfect fashion – we love how unique every room feels and the pervasive pops of pink sprinkled throughout. Kick your feet up in the bright, beautiful living room with light wood floors and a decorative original fireplace. Pour a glass of wine at the darling dining room table surrounded by vibrant art and enjoy a meal effortlessly prepared in the roomy kitchen. The master has gorgeous wallpaper and its very own antique desk – along with a porcelain tub for a luxurious soak at the end of the day. There are plenty of rooms for the children to pick from, complete with fun additions like the canopy bed and a keyboard. And when it’s time to explore, you’ll be a ten-minute walk from the cafes and shops of Kensington High Street and just nine minutes from the tranquil Holland Park. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide


About Earl's Court

Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
