How it works

Two journeys, one introduction.

Owners and guests come to Les Confidences for different reasons. Their journeys run side by side and meet twice: at the introduction, and during the stay.

At a glance

Everything leads to the stay.

Two journeys, one moment that matters: living the place, in the house, for a while.

OwnersYou introduce your house

OwnersWe curate it: the House Brief, the Portrait

GuestsYou ask to be introduced

The stay

A borrowed life, for a week.

The two journeys

Side by side, then together.

Switch between owners and guests to follow one journey at a time.

Before
OwnerIntroduce your house
About six minutes online, then a private review by video or at the house.
GuestAsk to be introduced
From London, Zurich or Singapore: a few lines on who is coming and what the stay is for.
Curation
OwnerThe House Brief and the Portrait
The season your house shines in and the guests it suits. Photographs and words to one standard, clear to search and AI answers.
GuestA conversation with Brigitte
In your language, at any hour. She asks what matters and nothing more: which rare place, which season, what the stay is for.
The introduction
Owner and guest meet through an introduction.
The owner receives a short introduction and says yes, then confirms the booking and signs with the guest. Les Confidences never signs on anyone’s behalf.
Ten days before
OwnerNothing to chase
Brigitte prepares the arrival from your house book, with your people and your rules.
GuestYour days take shape
Soul, body, mind, family or friendship: the days follow the reason you came, with the owner’s addresses.
The stay
The stay adapts.
Brigitte answers day and night. Confidences arrive at the right hour. Local people are introduced by the owner, never resold. The owner’s team keeps the house.
After
OwnerThe Season Letter
What guests asked, loved and missed, and how they rated the stay. Our fee follows performance and guest ratings.
GuestA place to come back to
You rate the stay. The owner may welcome you again, and new rare places open as owners join.

Needs, benefits, difference

Two audiences, two promises.

For owners

Rent with confidence.

What they need

Choose who stays in the house
Fill the right weeks of the season
Protect the house, its name and its rating
Spend less time answering guests

What they get

Guests introduced before you say yes
More of the right weeks booked: the aim of every introduction
Stays adapted to their guests, for better ratings
Less to handle: at House No. 1, 90% fewer guest questions reached the owner and the manager
A fee that follows performance and guest ratings

Why it is different

Not a marketplace: nobody books without your yes.
Not a villa catalogue: your house keeps its own name.
Not a keys-and-cleaning conciergerie: your people keep the house; we bring and look after the guests.
Never an agent signing for you: you sign with your guests.

Introduce your house

For guests

Time away, properly.

What they need

Time back from a busy life
A place that fits the reason for going
Privacy and quiet
Real people, not tourist experiences
Nothing to plan

What they get

A private house or boutique place in a rare place
Days shaped around soul, body, mind, family or friendship
Local people, introduced by the owner
One conversation with Brigitte, in your language, at any hour

Why it is different

Not a hotel: a home, with what only its owner knows.
Not a rental platform: curated, and by introduction.
Not a travel package: introductions are never sold.

Ask to be introduced

In confidence

Curated, introduced, adapted.

Les Confidences curates houses and boutique places, introduces the guests who suit them and adapts every stay. Owners keep the final word and sign with their guests; our fee follows performance and guest ratings.
