About Us
The faces of Home381com
A secluded resort and casino along the Mediterranean coast. We opened in 2000 with six rooms and a single conviction — that outstanding hospitality never needs announcing.
Our story in three paragraphs
In the summer of 2000, two friends — a former hotelier and a chef — acquired a strip of shoreline and turned a private villa into a six-room guesthouse. There was no pitch deck, no campaign and no social feed. There was a notebook holding two principles: look after fewer guests better than anyone else; and never settle for what passes as "industry standard".
26 years on we count 160 keys, four restaurants, a Michelin star, one private gaming salons, a complete spa, and a guest book that steadily fills with the same families returning, season after season. The notebook remains. Those two principles have not shifted.
We remain in the hands of the same two families who founded the property. We have never sold to a chain, never licensed the name, and never launched a second site — though the question has been raised, repeatedly. Our reply is always the same: master one place.
What we believe
Hospitality without performance
Flowers are fresh because that is the standard. Robes are weighty because guests deserve it. The effort that counts is the effort you never see.
Continuity over turnover
The bellman greeting you at the door has been here longer than most of our suites. The head sommelier has served for many years. We recruit carefully and retain for life.
Local over global
Our menus follow what the coast provides, our cellar favours growers within four hours of the estate, and our spa formulations come from a chemist forty minutes down the road.
Quiet by intention
Adult-only, screen-free public areas, gentle lighting throughout the day and a music programme designed to settle into the background. Noise is simple. Serenity takes work.
The team
Six of the leaders who steer the property daily. Their résumés differ; their dedication to the standard does not. Behind them stands a 280-person team spanning operations, food, beverage, wellness, gaming, and concierge.
