01


EFFORTLESS EXPERIENCE

EFFORTLESS EXPERIENCE

Every detail decided before you arrive. Each day is curated, perfectly paced. Enjoy a private chef experience with all delicious meals and wine included, delightful outings, and return to relax at an exclusive property.

Nothing left to chance in these trips. This is a full and wonderful French immersion.

The same obsessive research and high-touch itinerary. Enjoy charming boutique properties with real soul. The trip framework is fully built,  but a few details of the journey are yours to arrange.

These trips are designed to delight guests within a different budgetary scope.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need to speak French?

Not a word. Stephanie handles all communication with vendors, properties, and locals. All you have to do is just show up and enjoy.

Who are these trips for?

We welcome kind, thoughtful, curious women of all ages to our retreats. Just pack your spirit of adventure, a pair of good walking shoes, and your appetite and we'll handle the rest!

Can I come alone?

Most of our guests do. A Maison d'Amies retreat is one of the best ways to travel solo. You have the ease of a group without being stuck with people you didn't choose. Bonus: our guests tend to leave as friends.

What does payment look like?

A deposit secures your spot, followed by two additional installments leading up to the retreat. We'll send you a clear schedule when you book so there are no surprises.

What’s the difference between Effortless Experience and Guided Discovery trips?

Both types of trips carry the same careful research and planning, and the same hosting by Stephanie. Effortless Experience trips are built around exclusive-use properties, with every meal, drink and activity included.

Guided Discovery trips are centered around smaller characterful villas with more free time baked into the itinerary for you to explore, dine and adventure. Different settings, scopes, and price points to accommodate varied budgets.

RELAXED CURATED TRAVEL, THE MAISON D’AMIES WAY

come as a guest,
leave as a friend

People sometimes ask me how I design a retreat experience that feels so personal. How does it feel like someone actually knows you, even on the first trip?

When you stay at a property I've partnered with, you aren't just renting a space. You're being welcomed by someone I know, trust, and have chosen deliberately. These are women and families I've built genuine relationships with over time, people who care about our guests not as transactions, but as visitors to their home.

I founded Maison d'Amies because I believe women deserve travel experiences that genuinely care for them. Not just beautiful ones, but nourishing ones. The kind that send you home feeling more like yourself than when you left.
