Hat wearing, Champagne drinking and gripping horse races, the Cheltenham Festival has become one of the most prestigious events in any socialite’s calendar. Whether joining the festivities for Champions Day, Ladies Day or the whole week, the festival is set to be a joy for all who attend, and after all, what’s a day at the races without a luxury homestay for the whole gang to congregate in after the sun has set?
Taking interior inspiration from Aynehoe Park but with its soul firmly based in the Mediterranean, Evania is a calming oasis of luxe tranquility just a short drive from the Cheltenham Festival.
