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.
From a remote Scottish castle to a Canadian paradise, refuge can be found amid nature’s wild beauty, writes Florence Hallett Big Sky, Montana | Big Sky Sotheby’s International Realty Heights” is likely to have even the most ardent city dwellers longing for a corner of wilderness to call their own. Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as ill-fated lovers Heathcliff and Cathy, the story is set on England’s rugged Yorkshire Moors in all their windy and rainswept beauty. Big skies, starry nights, bracing winds, wild heather—the life-affirming bite of the elements calls for some serious home comforts, says Christa Ackroyd, who three years ago led the campaign to save the Brontës’ Bradford birthplace. “Wuthering Heights style conjures up winter and mist and moors, which means your house has to be comforting all year round—stoves, log fires, battered but much-loved furniture, family photos and trinkets, the very antithesis of minimalism,” she says. The house from which the novel takes its name is just such a bulwark against the elements. “Wuthering,” explains Brontë, is “a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather.” Consolation in Brontë’s strange and unsettling novel comes in her detailed descriptions of domestic interiors. Wuthering Heights, she writes, is better suited to a “homely, northern farmer” than the brooding figure of Heathcliff. Inside, light and heat are reflected “from ranks of immense pewter dishes, interspersed with silver jugs and tankards, towering row after row, on a vast oak dresser, to the very roof.” Shuna, Scotland | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty Just this sort of kitchen must once have sat at the beating heart of Shuna Castle, the crowning glory of a private island in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, currently for sale for the first time in its history. The 1,110-acre island is nothing short of “breathtaking,” says Alex Collins, of United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty. A working estate and a natural sanctuary for deer, eagles and porpoises, “it has 360-degree views of some beautiful, dramatic scenery,” Collins says. And with eight residential properties, the possibility of redeveloping the remains of the castle, and easy access to the Scottish mainland, Shuna is the perfect setting for an exclusive hotel, retreat or unique private residence. Bridge Lake, Canada | Sotheby’s International Realty Canada Nature untouched by human hand is also the rare promise offered by several plots in the wonderfully named Moonlight Territories, in Big Sky, Montana, a mountain landscape celebrated by skiers and nature lovers alike. In Canada, the Paradise Bay estate in British Columbia is similarly expansive, offering 126 acres of forest, rocks, bays and coves on the shores of Bridge Lake. Heathcliff and Cathy were fated to remain bound to the moors around Haworth, but for those who like to keep their wilderness within easy reach of shops and restaurants, the opportunity to acquire a remarkable private estate in the Adirondack Park, upstate New York, has come up for the first time in more than a century. Long Lake, New York | Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty Whitney Park, near the town of Long Lake, is an ecological and cultural treasure twice the size of Manhattan, with mountains, forest, lakes and streams offering a unique backdrop to two Adirondack Great Camps, not to mention a network of hunting and fishing cabins once frequented by the illustrious guests of its original owner, politician and financier William Collins Whitney. Conservationists as well as statesmen have sought solace in the estate’s natural beauty and, like “Wuthering Heights,” its wilderness continues to shape significant conversations to this day.

From a Parisian apartment with a view to a centuries-old Italian palazzo, there are places where romance lingers long after Valentine’s Day, writes Mandi Keighan Paris, France | Propriétés Parisiennes Sotheby’s International Realty Romance, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Ask any seasoned traveler—or hopeless romantic—about the world’s most enchanting city, and you’ll find yourself swept up in a passionate debate. Is it the streets of Paris where every boulevard seems to hold the promise of amour? The historic corners of London, which whisper of romances past? Or Verona, where tales of the heart were etched into stone centuries before Shakespeare mused on his star-crossed lovers? Verona, Italy | Italy Sotheby’s International Realty Few places wear romance as effortlessly as Paris, long mythologised as the city of love. And no coup de foudre is complete without a cameo from the Eiffel Tower. A beautiful light-filled fifth-floor apartment on the Champ de Mars offers rarely matched views of the engineering masterpiece from a private and leafy balustraded balcony. The property’s capacious living room opens up to the iconic view, while two bedrooms, bathroom, dressing suite and home office complete the offering. Not to mention dedicated cellar space, an elevator and the building’s traditional Parisian concierge, discreet to the very last. Knightsbridge, London | United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty Across the Channel, London reveals a different but no less compelling definition of romance. Here, the past is always present, never more so than in Fonteyn House in Knightsbridge, the home once owned by the legendary Dame Margot Fonteyn during her years as a prima ballerina at the Royal Ballet and now looking for a new owner. The six-story, 15,000 square foot house is a celebration of a life devoted to beauty and performance. Rooms that once hosted the likes of Princess Margaret, Yves Saint Laurent, Peter Sellers and Rudolf Nureyev now sit alongside contemporary interiors, an expansive private spa and a walled garden. There’s a dining room with a Persian Palissandro Bluette marble bar and even a club room with a cinema and cocktail bar for cozy date nights. Verona, Italy| Italy Sotheby’s International Realty Verona, Italy is the setting to one of the most romantic stories of all time, of course: William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Yet, long before its titular heroine gazed out from her balcony, this city was perfecting the language of love. In the heart of its historic centre is a palatial residence overlooking the storied Piazza delle Erbe that traces its history back to 1300. Set in the prestigious Case Mazzanti, the home boasts 16th-century frescos by master Alberto Cavalli, coffered ceilings, Venetian terrazzo flooring and a wine cellar with its original 14th-century stone floor. So, which of the three is the most romantic city? Each offers its own distinctive note in the grand symphony of love. The true magic lies in discovering the one that sets the scene for your own story. Which is the world’s most fashionable city? A seasoned style editor weighs in
