Colorado Homes & Lifestyles

March 13, 2012

Three individual clubs make up The Quintess Collection, each tailored to a different kind of traveler. Quintess, a traditional destination club, offers access to multimillion-dollar homes that generally sleep larger groups. The destination club DUO offers smaller luxury homes and condos for couples, empty-nesters and those who don’t want to travel in groups…

Buenos Aires: The Paris of South America

March 1, 2012

Meet Ariel Lopez Varela, a native Argentinian who grew up in the rugged countryside raising animals and riding horses. But he’s also a gold medal winner from the most prestigious culinary school in Argentina and one of the city’s most knowledgeable insiders, which makes him an anomaly of sorts: Buenos Aires local, gourmet chef, top concierge and gaucho at heart.

The New York Times

February 18, 2012

Three years ago, destination clubs seemed to be struggling for dear life as the economy collapsed. But a couple of the clubs - essentially collections of luxury homes available for short-term use in fancy resort areas - managed to survive. And now they have come up with new variations that cost less to join but retain the air of exclusivity.

Nantucket: Go to Get Away

February 15, 2012

Jeanne Caspe, your Quintess Beyond Nantucket Hostess, has been coming to the island for over twenty-two years. Although she originally came over from nearby Norfolk, Massachusetts as a summer guest, she could somehow never wrench herself away from Nantucket’s charms: distinctive historic feel, quaint cobblestoned streets, pristine grounds...

We joined Quintess because of the service and caring that's a core of the relationship. Like most Quintess Members, we are busy people juggling too many things in our lives, and although leisure is an important part of our lives, we often just don't have time for it...

KosherLikeMe: Discovering the Unexpected on Canouan Island

February 7, 2012

Heading out of Dodge for a much needed winter break to Canouan Island, in the Grenadines, didn’t require much research other than my same ol’ questions about what there is to eat for those who are Kosher Like Me.

Our conversation finds me standing in one of the New York City penthouses overlooking Times Square the week before Christmas. This place rocks! I could not imagine choosing a better view or location if we had the pick of the city. The Broadway show ‘Book of Mormon’ is fantastic and just half a block away...

A Conversation with Member Donna Miccolis

February 1, 2012

We originally joined The Quintess Collection because, as our parents get older, we want to take advantage of being with them while they are still able to travel. Plus, with a brother in Hawaii and two young daughters, we need a place with plenty of space and availability for family trips. The Quintess homes are great for when everyone joins us; however, when it’s just the four of us, then DUO is just right. We love staying at The Ritz-Carlton and would love to go to Vail and stay at The Ritz-Carlton DUO properties. This year our daughters are taking ski...

A Conversation with Member Brad Brodigan

January 31, 2012

We originally joined Quintess as an alternative to second home ownership; we wanted the broadest range of properties possible. For this reason, Collection Access was important to us from the beginning. Since our immediate family is just four people, we love the option of staying at the smaller DUO properties, but we also often travel with our extended...
