Our Local Hosts
In short, your entrée to the best of each region.
Gracious. Insightful. They live in the region you’ll be visiting. They speak English and the local language. Most of all, your Local Host knows all the subtle insider experiences that define their region and they use this insight to help your Travel Advisor plan your trip.
That means too, that they have a pretty clear sense of who you are and what you might like even before you step off the plane. They are the first friendly face you’ll see at your villa, offering up a cold glass of prosecco or a Kir Royale along with a feast of local comfort foods. When you’re ready, they'll take the time to review your itineraries, and make special recommendations to match your interests, as only a true local can. They happily spend time with you face to face, but they’re also just a phone call away anytime, just for peace of mind.
They are, in essence, your guide, concierge, translator, troubleshooter and guarantee that your Hosted Villa stay will be nothing short of brilliant, every time.
