Barefoot Living
by Natalia Swarz
HÔTEL WEEKEND
The increasing pace of life seems to be leading to an uptick in the number of ‘slow’ books that remind us of the value in reducing our pace and inspire us to do just that. Barefoot Living explores the picturesque destinations where creative consultant and globetrotter Natalia Swarz has felt the least hurried. From the Mediterranean coast to various sunny isles, countryside locales and, surprisingly, cities, the book explores homes, guest houses and boutique hotels belonging to people who embrace a quieter existence. Each section includes a part on setting the table, a fundamental sensory experience of slowness and locale, as well as sundry musings and appropriately torpid photography.
