The stay does not begin at the door.
From the car that collects you to the last night away, the whole journey is planned as one, and looked after until you are home.
To and between the Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como and the Greek islands; in winter, the Alps. Elsewhere, when you ask.
By air
Flights, private and scheduled, and helicopters where they help, timed around your plans.
By sea
A launch to lunch, a day under sail, a week between islands. Boats that leave when you are ready.
By land
Chauffeured cars, trains and cars to drive yourself, with drivers who know the back road when the coast is full.
The days there
The long lunch, a morning in an atelier, a guide who knows when to stop talking.
Two places, one plan.
Nothing here is fixed until you say so.
The arrival
You land a little before noon. Your driver is waiting, and lunch is ready at the house whenever you are.
Four nights by the water
A house above a cove. On the second morning a boat calls at the jetty, takes you along the coast to lunch, and brings you back in your own time.
The crossing
A morning at sea in place of an afternoon in traffic. Your bags go by road and are in your rooms before you are.
Three nights in the hills
An old town, a table still booked by telephone, and afternoons with nothing planned.
The way home
The car comes in good time, and nobody hurries you to it.
When the plan changes, a single message moves everything else.
Chosen for you, and for no other reason.
A skipper, a driver, a cook in the hills: each is found for the person travelling, and briefed on what matters to them before they arrive. For those who travel this way often, there is Maison Privée.
Tell us where you are thinking of going. We will take it from there.
Two or three places, or none yet, roughly when, and who is travelling. You will hear from us within two days.
