Colette has booked Vila Vita for us and we had some perks such as the breakfast included and a welcome basket with a bottle of wine in our private villa. Colette took such good care of us, we are very grateful! Thanks a lot!

Colette has accompanied us in our first time in Algarve. She has understood what holiday means for us and proposed many options. She has finally booked two stunning hotels that we enjoyed a lot. She is the right person to ask how to spend a nice time in family or in couple. Thank you so much Colette!

Colette is very professional and always nails what we want. She organized our mini-moon with exceptional attention to details, incl. welcome notes and sparkling wine, early check in and late check out. Colette is a fantastic Luxury Travel advisor and I would recommend her services to everyone. Stress free and smooth - always. Thank you Colette!!!
