The Chosen Stay · Joined 2025

Eleanor Whitfield joined as Editor in October 2025, overseeing the editorial direction of the journal and the curatorial standards applied across the property directory. Her focus is on the intersection of architecture, landscape and private accommodation: the kind of stay where the building, its setting and the experience it enables are inseparable from one another. She has spent time in each of the destinations covered in the directory, with particular depth in Tuscany, the French Alps, the Cyclades and the Iberian coast. Her writing takes a deliberate position against the tendency to describe places in superlatives, preferring instead the specific detail, the drive time, the sub-region, the month, that helps a traveller make a genuine decision. Eleanor's editorial approach to the directory is selective by design: fewer, better-considered recommendations over exhaustive cataloguing.
