Linthwaite House is situated on a hilltop overlooking Windermere, making it the perfect base from which to explore the scenic surroundings. There is plenty for guests to do around Linthwaite’s beautiful grounds. Try your hand at a game of boules on our pitch or an eye-catching giant outdoor chessboard invites you to play a game. Take a stroll along our walking trails while admiring the local fauna, flora and sculptures, or go for a cycle and explore the ‘chocolate-box’ village of Bowness-on-Windermere. We also have a private tarn where two row boats are available to our in-house guests.

The former Collegio alla Querce in Florence, Italy, has been transformed into a luxury hotel with pristine gardens. Florence, with its distinctive medieval skyline, is the capital city of the Tuscany region. Known as the ‘cradle of the Renaissance’, the city is noted for its art, architecture, monuments and museums. The historic centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Florence is only a short drive from the undulating hills of the Chianti countryside, home to many well-known wineries.
This latest Leeu Collection property is a 5-star luxury city resort with 83 rooms and suites, bars, restaurants, event halls (including a chapel, a theatre and multipurpose rooms), spa, indoor and outdoor pools, extensive lobbies and public areas, gardens (1.1 hectares) and parking facilities.
