Company information
The Host , Gina, is a hands-on host, who lives on site. she will move mountains for her guests, and if she can't she will find someone who can. she offers intellectual conversations, and access to her vast library of cultural and historical books.
Her knowledge of these topics is magical and entertaining.
Property information
Gina is an unconventional woman with impeccable taste, a hopeless romantic and a slave to vintage nostalgia. Fabulous parties with great food and unforgettable ambiance are her passion. Remember....the devil is in the detail!
Here are some of her hostess tips:
Thirteen at a table is unlucky only when the hostess has twelve chops.
In popular houses where visitors like to go again and again, there is always a happy combination of some attention on the part of the hostess and the perfect freedom of the guests to occupy their time as they choose.
Be pretty if you can. Be witty if you must.
But be gracious if it kills you.
True hospitality is when people leave feeling better about themselves and not better about you.
Neighbourhood information
The neighborhood offers a variety of activities for our guests. Museums, hiking facilities, zoo's, theatres, and scenic views.
set in the heart of Houghton.
