La dolce vita takes centre stage in the new BARNES Magazine

The 40th issue of BARNES Magazine is out now. Inspired by Italy, this Autumn-Winter 2026/27 edition celebrates a taste for beauty, the pleasure of entertaining and the art of taking one's time.

An anniversary issue inspired by Italy

Forty issues on, BARNES Magazine remains true to its purpose: telling the story of the art of living that goes hand in hand with exceptional real estate. For this Autumn-Winter 2026/27 edition, the editorial team has chosen Italy and its dolce vita as a common thread, a way to approach the season through elegance, conviviality and the pleasure of things done well. Heidi Barnes and Thibault de Saint Vincent sign the editorials of this issue.

Inspiring encounters and rare craftsmanship

On the cover, Paolo Barletta, founder and CEO of Arsenale Group, shares his vision of reinvented luxury travel, combining iconic hotels and exceptional trains. Throughout the issue, readers step inside the Vacheron Constantin manufacture, discover chef Yannick Alléno's chocolate creations, the perspective of architect Hubert de Malherbe and the legacy of Studio Andrée Putman. Mikaël Petrossian offers his own definition of luxury, while Café Joyeux and entrepreneur Nicolas Ducoudert (Beaubleu) embody the spirit of commitment and initiative so dear to BARNES.

Wine, classic cars, the sea and escapes

Enthusiasts will find their favourite sections: the great Italian vineyards, collector cars with BARNES CarJager, yachting with Laura Sessa and a selection of escapes to Mallorca, Courchevel and Provence. Mauritius also makes a sneak appearance, ahead of a look back at the season's highlight events.

An art of living that resonates in Budapest

Historic cafés, thermal baths, opera and renowned vineyards: Budapest shares with Italy the same love of entertaining and savouring every moment. It is this spirit that BARNES Hungary nurtures every day, through a selection of prestige real estate in Budapest, from the hills of Buda to the grand avenues of Pest, and all the way to the shores of Lake Balaton.
