India & Sri Lanka Special Places to Stay (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay)

by Alastair Sawday (Author)

Synopsis

Our popular book about India has now been expanded to also include Sri Lanka. This trusted guide is essential reading for the independent traveler interested in culture, style and people. The variety of places is rich and astonishing. You can stay in an old Portuguese church and dine on the roof, explore an organic farm and its spice garden, or live on the edge of the desert. We look for owners, homes and hotels that we like - and we are fiercely subjective in our choices. 'Special' for us is not about the number of creature comforts, but relates to many elements that make a place 'work'. Certainly, the way guests are treated comes as high on our list as the setting, the architecture and the food.

Author Bio
Kristina Locke has travelled extensively in India and Sri Lanka researching recipes and sourcing ingredients for her healthy snack company and pursuing her love of yoga. Alastair has built a team of talented editors who are as committed as he is to the search for authenticity and personality in places to stay. They are also 'driving' the world's first carbon 'neutral' publishing company; the search for a reduced ecological footprint is a serious one. The company has won The Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category, an award from Business Commitment to the Environment and a Green Apple Award and moved to its own eco-offices in January 2006.
