We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the esteemed status of a Plum Home by the Plum Guide! This prestigious accolade recognizes our commitment to providing exceptional hospitality, and we couldn't be more excited to share this achievement with you.
This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences. Plum Guide is renowned for its discerning curation of world-class accommodations and for its rigorous selection process, ensuring that only the finest homes are awarded their coveted status. To be selected as a Plum Home is an honor that underscores our dedication to quality, design, and comfort.
The Plum Guide selection process is rigorous and demanding. Unlike other rating systems, independent home critics evaluate properties against a stringent 150-point checklist, ensuring only the crème de la crème make the cut. This test evaluates every aspect of a property—from comfort and design to location and amenities. To be ranked among the top 3% of homes in a destination is a feat we're immensely proud of.
Homes must successfully navigate the demanding Plum Test, culminating in a meticulous inspection by an independent Home Critic.
How it works:
Discovery: Their experts meticulously curate a database of potential homes from each new destination.
Shortlisting: Homes are evaluated based on location, design aesthetics, and guest reviews to create a shortlist of promising candidates.
Contender Selection: Host interviews are conducted to identify homes with the potential to become Plum Award winners.
Final Stages: To clinch the Plum Award, homes must exceed expectations during a guest stay and pass the critical Plum Home Test conducted by a seasoned Home Critic.
Those that successfully complete three out of the four stages are recognized as Nominated Homes, showcasing their exceptional promise. However, it's the triumphant homes that conquer all challenges, delighting guests and passing the final inspection, that are bestowed with the prestigious Plum Award. By choosing a Plum Award-winning home, travelers can be confident they've selected the epitome of luxury and comfort.
Our property has been a preferred choice for a diverse clientele, including renowned writers who sought inspiration in our serene environment.
