Our Story
It all started during an evening when we were comparing our recent travels. We had all experienced the same thing: those hotels that promise the moon and stars on their websites but turn out to be soulless tourist factories.
We realized we were carefully saving the addresses of those few exceptional places we had discovered, often by chance. Places where we instantly felt at home. Where the owner tells you the story behind every stone. Where breakfast isn't an impersonal buffet, but local products served with passion.
So there you have it, we decided to create what we were looking for ourselves: a collection of places worth visiting, validated by real people (us!), not by an algorithm.
Our method is simple:
- We go there, we sleep there, we eat there
- We talk with the people who bring the place to life
- We ask ourselves THE question: "Would we want to tell our friends about this place?"
If the answer is yes, the place joins our collection. If it's no, we continue our search.
No ready-made formulas, no rigid criteria like "there must be 3 pillows per bed." Just places that have that indefinable quality that makes you feel good. That authenticity we all look for when we escape our daily routines.
And now, we're sharing them with you.
Who We Are
We're different but we share the same obsession: places that make you feel at home when you're away from home. Places we still talk about years later. And if we loved them, there's a good chance you'll love them too.
Aline
She has that energy that makes you want to follow her anywhere. At 30, she juggles between her innovation job, football matches, and her mission to unearth hidden gems.
Catherine
Our engineer who trades meeting rooms for hiking trails. She checks the water pressure in the shower and counts the minutes it takes to walk to the local café. Nothing escapes her.
Erielle
Our compass. A mother of three who still finds time to dream about her ecolodge in Madagascar. She's the one who asks the real questions: "Ok, it's pretty, but does it make sense?"
