ANNOUNCING NEW REPRESENTATION:
HÔTEL DU COUVENT |
 |
|
Hidden within the vibrant maze of Nice's Old Town, Hôtel du Couvent unfolds as an unexpected sanctuary of lush, terraced gardens and historic architecture. A decade-long restoration has awakened this 17th-century landmark, transforming the former home of Clarisses and Visitandines nuns into what feels like a secluded village suspended in time.
In a region often defined by glitz, Hôtel du Couvent makes a bold statement by choosing soul instead. By reviving the convent’s original purpose as a place of rest and community, the property creates an experience that's deeply grounded and wonderfully distinct from the rest of the Riviera. |

ANNOUNCING NEW REPRESENTATION:
NAMIA RIVER RETREAT |
 |
|
Tucked away on a private islet, Namia River Retreat offers a perspective of Hoi An that few travelers get to see. While the lantern-lit streets of the Ancient Town are just a short boat ride away, this property feels like a world apart.
As the destination’s only resort featuring exclusively private pool villas, it provides a rare sense of personal space and calm. Daily 90-minute wellness journeys are included in every stay, rooted in unique Vietnamese traditions.
