The morning after a night-time ascent of an incandescent Stromboli, we descended to the coast below, dived into the transparent cobalt waters, and made our decision. In 2002, we founded The Thinking Traveller. Since then, we’ve been on a voyage around the Mediterranean that has so far taken us from Rossella’s homeland of Sicily to Puglia , the Greece , Corsica and Mallorca . No matter where we go, our passion and our core values remain unchanged, as does our mission: to hear our clients say, “That was the best holiday we’ve ever had. We’ll be back.” We very much look forward to welcoming you (back) to one of our exceptional, exclusive villas soon. Our story Meet the team Our mission Our mission at The Thinking Traveller is simple: to hear our clients say “That was the best holiday we’ve ever had… we’ll be back”. Our aim is also simple: to be the first port of call for anyone wishing to book a quality villa experience in the heart of the Mediterranean . To achieve this, we provide our clients with access to: - our collection of exclusive villas, all exclusively available through us - our unrivalled local knowledge - our extra-mile thoughtful service Our values Exclusive villas We offer only exclusive villas : we’re defined by the quality of our villas and take on less than 1% of those we are offered. All our villas are offered exclusively through us, because only then can we create enduring partnerships and take a hands-on role in delivering the quality our clients have come to expect. Local knowledge We’re always informed: whether we’re helping clients choose their perfect villa, planning the details of their holiday, or supporting them whilst they’re away, we make it our business to know and to communicate to our clients what’s what, who’s who and how things work. Thoughtful service We always go the extra mile. Our greatest desire is to deliver exclusive experiences , exceed expectations, demonstrate flexibility and provide peace of mind to our clients. Peace of mind We’re proactive and we understand that little things can mean a great deal. Our clients know that we’re with them all the way and that they can rely on us for anything they might need. Thoughtfulness We always behave thoughtfully, considerately, honestly, proactively, passionately and with integrity. Our team A growing business offering such high-end, bespoke service requires a great team of people and careful management. From just the two of us with an idea, The Thinking Traveller now numbers over 60 members of staff in London, Sicily, Puglia, Greece, and Corsica. We are a multi-national, multi-cultural, polyglot group of travel professionals with a thirst for knowledge, a passion for detail, an extra-mile attitude, and a shared love of all things Mediterranean. We hail from all over the world, from New Zealand to New York and from South Africa to South America, and we speak over 20 languages (and several dialects). We hold degrees, MAs and PhDs in engineering, biology, languages, sociology, photography, literature, Arabic, international business, tourism, marketing, translation, IT, drama, music and more. When we’re not enjoying ourselves at work, we’re marathon runners, bakers, singers, cyclists, cooks, hikers, sailors, wine connoisseurs, dancers, kick-boxers, fencers, actors, and mothers and fathers.
