It is defined by quietude, authentic discovery, and the profound ability to create lifelong memories in genuinely unique and special places.
The sophisticated traveller knows that most things aren’t discerned from pretty pictures. They look beyond the influence of “sanitised luxury,” preferring genuine depth of knowledge and know-how.
The Nota Bene Difference: Your Trusted Filter
Our clients are discerning individuals whose journeys are driven by passion—whether for art, food, design, sport, or wellness. They rely on us for privileged access and meticulously planned itineraries that seamlessly weave these passions together.
The Nota Bene difference lies in our commitment to uncompromising standards. We work exclusively with a global network of people who seek what is special, unique, and not easily found elsewhere. Think of us as the essential, trusted filter in a world oversaturated with fluff.
What Makes a Nota Bene Journey Unrivalled?
As a Nota Bene client, you expect service that eliminates risk and maximises experience. Here are the standards we uphold:
Discernment Above All: We see everything through exceptionally discerning eyes. Providing simple list options isn’t part of our DNA. Instead, we provide real context and answer the critical questions: Who is this right for? When is the best time to go? How long should the trip be? Where best to combine it with?
Authenticity is the Greatest Luxury: We never appropriate. We visit places quietly, not on press junkets, spending our own time and investment to provide a genuine, unbiased assessment.
The Litmus Test: We invest significant time and money critiquing location, style, service, food & beverage, and every other conceivable detail. No detail is left unturned.
This level of service is built on vast experience, informed taste, and a depth of knowledge that ensures you receive only the very best, every time.
On The Ground: Reviewing the South of France
This week, we were rigorously assessing top properties in the South of France ahead of the 2026 season:
Super-Prime Provence Estate: We inspected a private estate—nine suites, a separate guest bergerie, and a pavilion with extensive wellness areas, all set amid vineyards and land. Priced between €200k and €270k per week with a whole retinue of staff, it required our careful eye to ensure it passed the Nota Bene litmus test for excellence.
Var Coastline: We evaluated a new wellness hotel west of St Tropez. While not world-class in every respect, we determined it makes an excellent choice for clients seeking a relaxed, casual ocean-side vacation with a superb spa. Our Insight: It combines perfectly with St Tropez/Provence, provided accommodation is chosen carefully, and the journey is elevated by boat or helicopter arrival.
St Tropez Villas: We checked out the highest-end rental villas. Out of this elite selection, only one made the Nota Bene grade.
Expert Investment
Consider the number of hours your executive assistant spends arranging your personal travel—valuable time which could be better spent on your business priorities. They are tasked with booking hotels, restaurants, and itineraries, yet are highly unlikely to have personally visited most of the places, stayed in the hotels, or dined at the restaurants they recommend.
Why a Dedicated Specialist is the Better Investment:
Eliminate Research Time: We’ve already done the meticulous legwork—you waste no time.
Guaranteed Quality: You rely on the opinion of a team that has personally vetted, critiqued, and approved everything.
Risk Mitigation: You eliminate the risk of a subpar experience or disappointment.
Superior Service: Our highly skilled and rigorously trained team provides a vastly superior personal service, ensuring you never have to answer the same question twice.
