The incredible artist Hannah Knox, best known for her pieces which are currently gracing the pages of many fashion magazines as she has created a spin-off of her shirt paintings for the House of Versace itself, has kindly donated a limited edition signed print, where there are only 20 in existence!

The print is photo engraving on Japanese paper using the 'chine colle' technique pressed onto 270g Arches paper, with a hand torn soft edge.

The print size is 21x28cm (similar to A4).

A ‘mosca bianca’ (white fly) is how the locals describe this magical location with its beautifully renovated lamia, private pool, outdoor kitchen with barbecue, pizza oven and very own orange grove, i.e., an exceptionally rare find.

The Lamia has been restored with its original stone features and vaulted ceiling and is situated just a few minutes walk from the old town of Ostuni, The White City, boasting unrivalled sea views, as far as the eye can see, as well as a picture postcard view of the old town.

However, whilst you are a stone's throw from Ostuni, the villa is situated in its own private orange grove where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The original lamia, which is now the sitting room, has been sympathetically extended to include a large kitchen/dining area and 2 double bedrooms, which lead straight out to the pool, all with ensuite bathrooms. The other 2 bedrooms are accessed from outside the main villa right next to the pool and are self-contained. Each bedroom has it's own private access but they are connected by an internal door, which can be locked for privacy. It is easy to access the main building, however, as the outside stairs take you straight up to the kitchen.

From the sitting room you can access the first of two terraces with stunning panoramic views of the beautiful Adriatic coast located just 8km away. The sea views stretch for miles in front of you and, to your left, you have the picture postcard view of the White City.

Ostuni is brimming with restaurants and cool bars and during the summer has a whole host of events in the piazza from live music to art exhibitions to street artists and is buzzing till the early hours. During the day you can relax by the beautiful pool overlooking the orange grove whilst gazing out to sea or enjoy a day at any of the variety of different beaches and coves along the coast. If you want a break from the sunbed there are plenty of day trips you can take to explore the beautiful medieval towns dotted around Salento and sample the amazing food and wines the region has to offer.

In the evening, savour a sun-downer on the top terrace watching the twinkling lights of Ostuni before enjoying a BBQ by the pool or trying your hand at making your own pizzas in the pizza oven. Whatever you do, you can be sure that all your senses will be awakened in this magical place. And if you want a winter getaway, the villa boasts underfloor heating and a beautiful original stone fireplace to keep you warm at night. It is truly an all year round experience. https://www.vrbo.com/8864174ha

Do you have a member of the family who wants to make a break into the film industry? Then this is the perfect Lot for you!

1. Tickets for the LAST SWIM PREMIERE:

“2 x tickets to the UK Premiere for Last Swim – The British coming of age story recently featured at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival where it was awarded the Crystal Bear. The film will premiere in the UK this October.”
Ziba is an ambitious and brainy young Londoner. Proud of her Iranian heritage, she is conscientious and sensible but also indulges in a certain romantic nihilism. Perhaps this is because of her passion for astronomy, or perhaps because she longs for happier times. Although she is the only member of her close-knit friendship group to attain good results in the end-of-school exams, she is struggling to remain optimistic. She and her friends want to spend the day together in the hot summer London and witness a unique celestial event. Secretly, Ziba is planning an irreversible step that – in her mind – will give her back control over her life. Caught between a deep passion for being alive and an overwhelming desire to end the pain and fear of her current reality, Ziba must learn to let go of her adolescent dreams and cope with uncertainty.


2. A Day of set with British filmmaker Sasha Nathwani / Caviar.

Spend the day in the Director’s Chair, on a film set helmed by Director Sasha Nathwani and globally renowned Production Company CAVIAR. The experience will take place between June and September and is the ideal experience for anyone with a passion in music video, commercial or narrative filmmaking.

The director was born in London to an Iranian mother and Indian father. He has a degree from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Last Swim is his debut feature film. His short film Raj’s Story was a recipient of a One Point Four Award and a Channel 4 Diversity Award. He has also directed various music videos and has twice been nominated for Best Video at the Brit Awards.

The aim of Dermatology Consulting is to provide the highest quality of dermatology care, putting into practice the latest research from the most influential international dermatology meetings and current research.

Recent years have seen a proliferation of new ‘cosmetic’ and ‘skin rejuvenation’ treatments, many of which have been launched with relatively little research. The results have often failed to live up to manufacturers’ claims resulting in patients being disappointed with the outcome. At Dermatology Consulting, our dermatologist, Dr Farrell, extensively researches the new technology with regular attendances at the latest scientific meetings and visits to overseas centres of excellence to ensure that the medical and anti-ageing treatments used by our team are the most recent and effective available.

This voucher can be used towards any treatment the lucky bidder wants eg: mole check, hydrafacial, sun screen etc at Dermatology Consulting Tunbridge Wells.
