A Notting Hill penthouse that dissolves the line between inside and out – retractable glass walls open the entire living floor onto a wraparound south-facing terrace, with London's skyline spreading as far as you can see. Up on the roof, a private spa with hot tub, cedar sauna, and ice bath sits among mature olive trees and jasmine, entirely yours for the stay. The interiors – curated mid-century furniture alongside contemporary art, anchored by a bespoke kitchen – match the architecture's ambition. Private lift access and a daytime porter mean arrival and departure feel effortless, with Hyde Park and Six Senses moments away. Did we mention it's owned by a BAFTA-winning filmmaker?

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, this home is child-friendly and a cot is available. Ask your host in advance to make sure everything is set up and ready on arrival.

This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay, so please treat them with respect and care.
