Canada, Ontario and Fogo Island
One night at a Victorian manor outside Toronto, then four on Fogo Island, off the north coast of Newfoundland.

- Country house, gardens, island, ocean, slow travel
Two places only, and very different ones: a late Victorian country house in gardens and forest in southern Ontario, and a modern inn on the rocks of Fogo Island facing the North Atlantic. The pace is slow, and the season sets the tone in both.

Cambridge, Ontario

Where you stay

Days 2 to 6 · four nights
Fogo Island, Newfoundland
A flight of about six hours takes you onward to Fogo Island for four nights. Days follow the island's rhythm: guided outings and cultural activities arranged by the inn, long walks on the coast, and meals made from what the island and the sea provide.
Where you stay
Fogo Island Inn
Fogo Island Inn is a contemporary building drawn from traditional outport design, with 29 rooms and suites, each looking out over the ocean. Rooms are furnished with pieces made by Fogo Island artisans, and stays are all-inclusive, with meals and guided excursions included.
Ways to make it yours
This is a sample. The hotels, the pace and the order are where we start, not where we finish: every journey is designed around the people taking it.
Made around you
Most travel is bought. This is designed.
Before anything is booked, we talk: who is travelling, how you like to spend a morning, and the hotel preferences below the obvious, from the kind of bath you like to the time you wake and how much daylight you need in a room. You see options where options matter and clean recommendations where they don't.
The same person remains your point of contact from the first reply to the trip after next. No handovers. No team.
