While we keep an apartment in Paris, we live in a village in the south of France where people are generous and life is very peaceful. Our village is so little it has no cinema. I like having pastis [a liqueur] at the bar and talking about whether it will rain tomorrow. Our farm is bordered by a vineyard, shaded by groves of apples and peaches and we share the land with a wild boar.” CATHERINE ZETA-JONES “My husband [Michael Douglas] introduced me to Bermuda, where his mother’s family has lived since the 17th-century.... We have an interest in the Ariel Sands Beach Club, a small, homey hotel on the South Shore, only 10 minutes from Hamilton. Michael’s grandmother, aunts and uncles built it as a cottage colony on a 14-acre hill that slopes down to the sea.” ELIZABETH HURLEY “Paris is my favourite city. Nothing beats the Hotel Ritz.

And the Museo Del Prado is one of the world’s finest museums — with its Velázquez and Goya collections.” PENÉLOPE CRUZ RELAXES IN HER BELOVED SPAIN.

As soon as I get off the plane, I head for a jerk chicken centre. I often stay at Strawberry Hill, a secluded 16-acre estate that’s in Irish Town, about 30 minutes from Kingston and 3,100 feet above sea level. It’s like entering a wild rain forest of waterfalls, giant ferns and exotic birds.” MICK JAGGER “I have a Japanese-style, six-bedroom oceanfront villa on the island of Mustique. It has this rambling koi pond and a series of pavilions connected by a raised walkway.... Bamboo screens and lush vegetation fend off sightseers and paparazzi. When I’m not there, I rent it out and personally review each application because my family’s personal belongings, photographs and mementos are there.” ELLE MCPHERSON “Grand Harbour Island in the Bahamas is our getaway. We have a 50-year-old beachfront house.” MINNIE DRIVER “My family still has a home on Barbados. It’s such a beautiful island. There are mahogany and mango trees, massive cabbage palms and tall, willowy banyans…. If you want a really nice dinner, you cannot beat The Cliff. It’s carved out of a rock and the ocean is right below. It’s the ultimate romantic spot.” COLIN FARRELL “I’m from Dublin, so that’s the place I go…. I have a cottage in Irishtown, Ringsend. It’s this tiny little bricks-and-mortar cottage. I never decorated it, except for some pictures, a sofa and a TV. It was perfect when I moved in.” ANTONIO B<strong>AND</strong>ERAS “I work hard to promote tourism in Andalucia, a scenic region of Spain, just south of Madrid. The spirit of Andalucia is about the primitive pleasures — good food, good wine and happy people. Feast on fish and flan. See the Spanish flamenco dancers, clad in their traditional ruffled dresses and stomping their heels. A Spanish party always goes on longer than you think it will.”
