Guernsey
Flights to Guernsey from UK destinations from £59.
A heady mix of stunning scenery and the best of contemporary
living, Guernsey is the perfect destination. Inspiring walks along
the cliff paths, rambles through the rural interior or lazy days on
the island's beautiful beaches, Guernsey has it all.
St Peter Port, the island's capital, is a bustling harbour
town, a tapestry of architectural styles that tell the story of the
region's changing fortunes. Here bistros, restaurants and boutiques
jostle for your attention, while in the harbour ferries are readied
to take you to the sister islands.
Sark is famous for its refusal to kow-tow to the motor car. The
result is a timeless world of bicycles, horse drawn taxis and lazy,
alfresco lobster lunches. Remember, in Sark there is no word for
stress.
Herm Island has been home to Neolithic man, monks, pirates,
quarrymen and a colorful collection of tenants including hapless
Army officers, a Bloomsbury author and a Prussian Prince. Nowadays
the subtropical flowers, white sand and tranquility of this
unspoiled beach paradise still cast a powerful spell.

DA NELLO RESTAURANT
An authentic Italian restaurant right in the heart of St Peter Port. The service is efficient and very friendly. The food is to die for - don't miss out on the beef barolo or the lobster linguini. It has an exceedingly romantic atmosphere - epitomised by the customary rose given to ladies at the end of their evening. For more information, click here.
THE AUBERGE
This restaurant deservedly has the highest Guernsey score in the Good Food Guide 2012, which praised "taste thrills and big flavours". Sitting on a cliff at Jerbourg, the view of yachting lanes between Castle Cornet and our sister islands always delight. For more information, click here.
