Travel style

With over a decade of expertise in fine wine, I'm always ready to pack a bag if it means unearthing the next viticultural gem. Whether it's a prestigious region like Burgundy or Bordeaux, or seeing what's new from the boutique vintners of Sicily or Santorini, you'll find me diving in to explore a destination by day; returning to a glamorous boutique hotel (with a gorgeous infinity pool, of course) to sip on Champagne while watching the sun set. 

And no evening would be complete without seeking out the best local cuisine and indulging in a fantastic dinner to delight this oenophile's senses.

Anny's reviews

This booking experience was great. We were struggling a bit with identifying the right hotel and Anny's ability to get us guaranteed connecting rooms ended up being a much better option than what we had before talking to Anny. The only thing I might suggest is that Anny was actually right about the Marais being a great area - probably a better location than where we were staying. Now that she knows us, we'd love to hear her opinions a little bit more!

Anny took care of every single detail of this trip from the moment we arrived at the airport to when we left. I gave Anny a few criteria that I was looking for and she came through with a stay that exceeded all our expectations.

Anny was fantastic! She was so easy to work with and went above and beyond - she was with us every step of the way making sure our stay was nothing short of perfect. We'd recommend her to anyone looking to upgrade their travel - she definitely knows what she's doing.

Anny was very helpful and knowledge and worked 24/7 to accommodate our requests. I would not hesitate to recommend her services.
