The private circle that keeps the finest houses alive all year.
Owners open their empty weeks. Members fill them. Partners enrich them. Everyone comes in with something to give, and leaves with more.
Owners entrust their empty weeks.
The ones that stay empty year after year, or free up at the last minute. Opened to the Circle on negotiated terms, with no commission and no middleman.
Members get first access.
On terms reserved for Members. One request is enough: Art of Stay handles the rest with the Owner.
On site, the Partners take over.
The house first, then the partners of the territory: spa, private chef, table, boat. The Art of Stay booklet left in every house opens their doors on privileged terms.
Members tell the story of the stay.
Images, honest reviews, recommendations. What they publish brings travellers back to the houses and customers to the partners.
The circle turns.
Everyone holds the Circle up. That is its only rule.
Everyone receives from the Circle and gives something back. That reciprocity is what separates a circle from a directory.
Villas, hotels and estates opening their empty weeks to the Circle.
Private chefs, spas, boat charters, activities and restaurants of the territory.
Members, who reach the houses of the Circle on their empty weeks.
One object in every house. Every Experience of the territory and its reserved terms, gathered in a booklet left on site: so that each visit is traced, and each Experience knows what the Circle brought it.
A digital version is sent before every arrival, to guests and members alike. It is updated with every new Experience in the territory.
Entry is free for Founders, until their territory officially opens.
After that, Founders keep their place, their visibility and their preferential terms for life.
A circle has only one moment in its existence when you can be one of its founders.
You do not sign up to the Circle. You are admitted to it.
No. No commission, no middleman. Travellers book directly with the house.
It is free for Founders until their territory officially opens. The terms that follow are set out during the interview.
Founders keep their place, their visibility and their preferential terms.
Every application is reviewed. The Circle is limited in number per territory.
Yes. That is what access is given for, and it is what makes the circle turn.
As soon as the network there is complete. The map is updated continuously.
Membership is then annual and specific to each territory. The terms are set out during the application interview.
Four pieces of information are enough. We come back to you by phone.
Your territory, your discount, your welcome. The rest is said in person.
The first region opens soon. Sign up to reach the first weeks before anyone else.
Every application is reviewed. We call you back for the interview.
