Our story

Hospitality as we learned it at home.

The Mediterranean from Èze, with Cap Ferrat on the horizon
A letter from the founder

Dear guest,

Maison Aladdin grew out of a habit: a table booked for a late arrival, a room made ready, a note left for the morning. It is how I was taught to receive people, and it seemed worth building a house around.

Our manners are Mediterranean. The table is long, the house well kept, and the host remembers.

We will stay small on purpose, taking only as many stays each season as I can be involved in myself.

With warm regards,

Aladdin

The years before

The house is new. The hands are not.

I have worked in hospitality since 2017: first my own home, let to guests and looked after myself. I took those guests to the places I loved, and for three years that became the work itself: days planned around whoever had come. Then came other people’s houses, many at a time, where I learned what holds a stay together.

Maison Aladdin is what those years became. A house of its own will follow. The standard is already here.

What we hold to

I

Answerable to you

However many hands a stay needs, you deal with one house.

II

Quiet by nature

Privacy is kept, not requested. Nothing about your stay is shared without your word, and your name goes only to those who need it to look after you.

III

Meticulous underneath

The warmth is what you see. Behind it are timings, checked lists and a second plan for the rain.
