Travel Mindfully

Join the MindfulTravel™ Movement

Independent. Mindful. Sustainable.

WHAT IS MINDFULTRAVEL™?

Doorways caters first and foremost to travelers who are thrilled by the prospect of living as the locals do in a delightful European locale — enjoying the novelties of a foreign climate and culture while making independent choices on a day-to-day basis about where to go and what to see or do and taking the time to soak it all in. This is the essence of MindfulTravel™

Years of experience have shown us that the most enjoyable trips are the ones where we take the time to settle into a destination - getting to know the locals and appreciating all that one destination has to offer. For this reason, we have chosen to offer a minimum one week stay at our villas. We also tell you what to look forward to: the breathtaking botanical garden, tucked away and overlooked behind a crumbling wall, or that amazing gelato shop just around the corner.

PRINCIPLES

Respect for the environment

Awareness of local culture

WHAT ELSE CAN I EXPECT IN CHOOSING DOORWAYS?

In addition to offering valuable one-on-one advice about train reservations, rental cars, drivers and guides, cell phones, hotels and travel insurance, our staff will provide you with our own travel tips and restaurant guide, a list of books, films, and music you might enjoy in preparing for your trip, a newsletter and even special suggestions for traveling with children. All of these materials reflect our many years' combined experience as enthusiastic travelers, as well as the wonderful feedback we continually receive from satisfied clients. Doorways' network of valuable contacts extends to our many property owners as well. Working directly with the owners whenever possible, we seek to create an atmosphere of hospitality that will make you feel instantly at home, both while we assist with your arrangements and once you have arrived at your European destination. We are confident that this comprehensive and attentive service is the primary reason why so much of our business comes from returning customers and their friends.
