We read thousands of reviews. The five-star ones rarely talk about the size of the bedroom: they talk about small things that felt personal.
1. A welcome note
Three lines in your own handwriting: the bakery you love, the walk you would take, your phone number.
2. Breakfast for the first morning
Coffee, jam and bread for guests who arrive late and wake up hungry.
3. A local guide that is really yours
Not a printed brochure: your list of places, with what to order.
4. The little things that run out
Salt, oil, dish soap, a phone charger by the bed.
5. A quick answer
Guests forgive a lot to a host who answers within the hour.
