Running the stay

What we take on

  • 01

    Property sourcing

    We find and vet properties—hôtels particuliers, villas, private apartments—against the brief.

  • 02

    Location brief

    Districts selected for their level of activity, their density, their accessibility and their proximity to where you need to be.

  • 03

    Building the itinerary

    The full schedule of the stay: transit, appointments both professional and private, and time to rest.

  • 04

    Preparing the house

    The residence is made ready before you arrive: the provisions you have specified, the systems set, the rooms arranged for work or for rest.
