Vermont is regarded as one of the best places in the world for fall displays, and the area around Burlington is particularly renowned, bursting into peak color in early October with subtler happening towards the end of the month. Willard Street Inn is perfectly situated to drink in the fall vistas in Burlington's beautiful hill district, with sweeping views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains.

The Laurentian Mountains in Quebec put on a display as impressive as anywhere in the world in late September, and the perfect base for enjoying it is Mont-Tremblant, a beautiful ski town about two hours from Montreal. Escale du Nord is a charming wooden house ideally placed for enjoying the best of the Mont-Tremblant autumn, set in the middle of a forest but still close to town.

With deciduous trees contrasting against evergreen pines, the Scottish Highlands have some of the best fall foliage in Europe, and the lochs and rivers around Pitlochry have a perfect waterside view of this autumn splendor. For all of October Faskally Wood just out of Pitlochry is also home to the Enchanted Forest, Scotland's premier sound and light show. The place to stay in Pitlochry is the award-winning Craigatin House & Courtyard, a beautiful early Victorian house set in secluded wooded grounds.

While Umbria is generally regarded as a spring or summer destination, the start of November, after the wineries have harvested, is an equally lovely time to visit. There are fewer tourists, the weather is often drier than spring, and the changing color of the vine leaves brings a magical glow to the gently rolling landscape. Relais Antiche Pietre in Parrano offers the best of Umbria with stylish, self-contained 18th century farmhouse accommodation in an unspoiled rural environment. 

Chateau de la Barre , Loire Valley, France

Autumn is the perfect time to visit the Loire Valley in France, as the summer crowds have headed home and the undulating vineyards amongst famous castles are ripe with harvest from late September, before putting on their seasonal display of yellow and burnt orange. Located less than 2 hours from Paris at the beginning of the Loire Valley, Chateau de la Barre offers tailor made sojourns in the beautiful home of the aristocratic Vanssay family since 1404, or two luxury self-contained cottages.
