With its Mediterranean climate, sun-drenched beaches, and tile roofs atop charming hillside homes, Santa Barbara has earned the moniker “American Riviera.” The peaceful community, just over an hour or so north of Los Angeles and home to approximately 90,000 permanent residents, is embraced by the Pacific Ocean on the south and Santa Ynez Mountains on the north.
As the Austrian capital pulls out the stops for Eurovision 2026, it waltzes between imperial grandeur and cultural cool, writes Kerry Walker Vienna, Austria | Austria Sotheby’s International Realty For centuries the nerve centre of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna has never shied away from global attention. The Austrian capital instantly impresses: a whirl of royal palaces and parks, gilded concert halls, galleries crammed with Klimt and Schiele originals, and coffeehouses haunted by the ghosts of Beethoven, Mozart and Freud. But the city doesn’t rest on past glory: fast-growing, sustainably minded, brilliantly connected by rail and bristling with new skyscrapers, Vienna consistently ranks as one of the world’s most liveable cities in Mercer and EIU Global Liveability indexes. Tuning into this unique spirit is resident urbanist Eugene Quinn at Whoosh, who weaves together community and storytelling in his guided walks and events, from “coffeehouse conversations” pondering life’s big questions to model-led “style walks”. Foregrounding the city’s hosting of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in May, these experiences provide a backstage pass to little-explored corners of the city. Vienna, Austria | Austria Sotheby’s International Realty “There’s a whole Vienna beyond the Sisi and schnitzel cliches,” says Quinn, in reference to the 19th century Empress Elisabeth of Austria and the country’s favourite dish. “One that is open-minded, progressive and LGBTQ+ friendly. More than 10% of the population are students, fueling fresh creative expression, and the Europe-wide song contest brings joy, positivity and parties.” Beauty, history and culture have always mattered deeply to the Viennese, he adds, nodding to groundbreaking ventures such as the city’s MuseumsQuartier, which remodeled the city’s baroque imperial stables into one of the world’s largest cultural districts. The project celebrates its quarter century in 2026. Barbara Beltram, journalist and advisor at Austria Sotheby’s International Realty points to the same successful blend of old and new in the city’s real estate, such as the high-end residential development at Börseplatz. Here, in the neoclassical former Imperial and Royal Telegraph Headquarters dating back to 1870, airy lofts and light-filled penthouses enjoy a full concierge service and wine cellar. “You really sense you are stepping into a palace the moment you enter,” says Beltram. “The Telegram Loft has six-meter-high ceilings and fabulous views of Börseplatz itself.” Vienna, Austria | Austria Sotheby’s International Realty On its doorstep, Vienna’s 1st district unfurls, with baroque, Biedermeier and art nouveau buildings forcing you to look up in wonder, as trams rattle along the monumental Ringstrasse. For a deep dive into Viennese art and opulence, Beltram recommends MAK (the city’s Museum of Applied Arts) and its new “Vienna 1900” exhibitions, while for coffee, she likes Café Gerstner. “You cannot get a more golden ceiling and its magnificence is reflected in mirrored coffee tables,” she enthuses. While the atmosphere is younger and hipper on bar-lined Gumpendorferstrasse in the 6th district, Mariahilf, history is brilliantly preserved in properties such as Bel Étage. This elegant family home blends period flair and luxury apartment living, with stucco ceilings, herringbone parquet and a secluded inner courtyard. Vienna’s foodie Naschmarkt and Otto Wagner’s majolica-tiled art nouveau buildings are a whisper away. Vienna, Austria | Austria Sotheby’s International Realty Meanwhile, revealing a greener and more serene side to the city is a 14-bedroom parkside villa in the 17th district, Hernals, modelled in the style of a three-wing farmhouse but full of contemporary comfort. “With a huge private park filled with ancient trees, it’s a country escape in the city, close to Vienna’s vineyards and traditional Heurigen (wine taverns),” says Beltram. Winging Vienna into the 21st century is the United Nations HQ, UNO City, on the banks of the River Danube, which also sparkles with new developments such as the Donaumarina Tower, the world’s tallest timber-hybrid skyscraper, and the 574.147 feet-tall DC Tower 2, both bearing the hallmark of French architect Dominique Perrault. Vienna, Austria | Austria Sotheby’s International Realty Here too are the Danubeflats, slick penthouses with far-reaching views, a spa area, heated pool, cocktail bar and sky gardens in Austria’s tallest residential tower. Steps from the lidos, trails, street art and beach bars of the 13-mile human-made Danube Island, they offer a glimpse of the future in a city that is far more than a one-hit wonder, moving from past to present without missing a beat. From Viennese waltzes to Italian feasts, Tuscany is also moving with the times
On four verdant acres near the villages of East Hampton and Sag Harbor, this Shingle-style residence is filled with timeless character and impeccable craftsmanship that harmonize effortlessly with contemporary comforts and conveniences. Although Long Island is largely known today as the epitome of halcyon coastal getaways, its globally renowned villages trace their history to the 17th and 18th centuries, when they were small charming towns surrounded by pastureland. An ambience of that period suffuses this peaceful property—four verdant acres near the villages of East Hampton and Sag Harbor that have at their heart a quintessential Shingle-style residence with 5,300 square feet above ground and a 2,200-square-foot lower level. Its classic character and craftsmanship—readily apparent in wide-plank hardwood floors, handsome stone tile, graceful arches, beamed ceilings, vintage-inspired fixtures and finishes, and hand-painted tiles—harmonize with consummate contemporary comforts and conveniences, while the acreage includes a heated pool and spa, a secluded sauna, and mature flora. The result is an undeniably idyllic retreat. East Hampton, New York | Jenny Landey , Anthony Rosina| Sotheby’s International Realty – East Hampton Brokerage The foyer introduces the timeless style that pervades the home and leads to the formal living and entertaining spaces. A wood-burning fireplace with a striking marble mantel anchors the living room, an elegant space where inviting natural light floods in through French doors. Through archways is the dining room, whose walls are handpainted in a lively pastoral pattern that echoes the greenery surrounding the residence. Windows and French doors overlook and open to the verdant backyard. An ambience of the Old World countryside animates the chef’s kitchen, custom-designed by deVOL and boasting appliances from Sub-Zero and Wolf, an oversized island with counter seating, a butler’s pantry—finished in a captivating red—with two wine chillers, and eye-catching tiles painted in a bucolic theme by Pennsylvania-based artisan Tyler Hays. Other highlights include a library with walls of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a stone-tiled mudroom, a custom-outfitted laundry room, a full bath with terra-cotta Tabarka Studio tiles and a heritage-inspired marble sink from Drummonds, and the two-car garage. Chief among the private spaces is a main-level owner’s suite with French doors giving way to a patio, ample closet space, an adjoining office ringed with windows, and an elegant bath with a claw-foot tub and a marble shower. An auxiliary owner’s suite enjoys the seclusion of the upper level. It features a tray ceiling, a bank of bright windows, and a delightful bath with a soaking tub tucked into a whimsically tiled alcove. Sharing this floor are three guest suites and a landing with built-in seating. Modern relaxation is the order of the day on the lowest level, which features a spacious media and game room accompanied by a casual dining area with built-in shelves and wine storage, a kitchenette, and a well-equipped cocktail bar. A sixth bedroom and bath and a roomy gym are hidden here as well. The enchanting grounds were designed by beloved local horticulturalist and “tree whisperer” Charlie Marder. Mature cedars, pines, gingkos, crepe myrtles, boxwoods, wisteria, and stone fruit trees create a colorful natural curtain of privacy for a generous patio and a heated gunite swimming pool and spa. Paths meander through the acreage, leading to an enviable outdoor shower and, further afield, a secret serene sauna. A separate adjoining lot with a letter of buildability furthers the options for expansion, the addition of another residence or tennis court, and the creation of a truly impressive compound. The conveniences of East Hampton and Sag Harbor villages are easily accessible, and when the siren song of sunny ocean beaches beckons, they are only moments away.
