You choose the place.

Somewhere along the coast, a table is being set.

Private hospitality
Wherever you are

What happens there is up to us.

Private dining, concierge, celebrations, adventures and design, at villas, homes and wild places anywhere in the world. One host handles everything, so you arrive as a guest.

A city, an island, a coast, a mountain, a boat. Anywhere it can be done safely and well.

What would you hand over?

One host. Every detail.

Book one part or hand us the whole trip. Every booking is designed around your group, your place and what the day means to you.

Dinners, long lunches, brunches and live-fire cooking at your villa, on a boat or at a location we find for you.

Concierge

Wine and produce sourcing, transfers, bookings, villa stocking and the small details nobody else thinks of.

What's on the table?

Grandma's table, island produce.

Fish from the morning boats, vegetables cooked over fire, good olive oil, bread to tear and share. Every menu is written for your group, and allergies and dietary needs are planned in from the start.

Who's cooking?
"I know what it feels like to eat alone in a beautiful place. CERCLE is what I wished someone had done for me."

I'm Ibby. I've spent twelve years in hospitality and solo travel across France, Canada and Australia, as a waiter, a bartender and in bakeries. I've been on both sides of the table.

Now I bring that to private villas and wild places wherever my guests want to be: food with a grandmother's spirit, and hosting that makes people feel welcome and looked after.
