Louise Davis - Memoirist
Show Notes

English writer Louise Davis wrote her debut memoir after retiring from her successful career as public relations manager for one of Mallorca’s best-known 5-star hotels.

The beautiful La Residencia, in the mountain village of Deià, is today owned by the Belmond hospitality and leisure company but went through a few changes of ownership and management during Louise’s twenty-two years at the hotel. She drew on her memories to write ‘Hideaway Hotel – Secrets of a Mediterranean Celebrity Retreat’. 

Among other things, Louise talks about the challenges of writing memoir; editing after feedback; the positive experience with her chosen publisher, and a couple of memoirs she’s recently enjoyed reading.  

My thanks to Belmond La Residencia for allowing us into the hotel to record the interview, even though it's not yet open  for the 2021 season. On the day we visited, maintenance staff and contractors were busy making sure everything will be ready for this season's discerning guests.

‘Hideaway Hotel – Secrets of a Mediterranean Celebrity Retreat’ (pub Ant Press) is available in Kindle and paperback formats from Amazon.
