A good concierge does more than provide access. They understand the guest, select specialists carefully and make responsibilities clear so that a holiday feels supported rather than over-managed.
Judgement is more valuable than a long contact list
Ask how recommendations are selected and whether the person advising you has worked directly with each supplier. A smaller network built on real experience is often more useful than a catalogue of interchangeable options.
Clarity protects the relationship
The proposal should make inclusions, fees, commissions, cancellation terms and the point of contact easy to understand. Guests should know who is responsible for each part of the stay and who will actually deliver the service.
Direct contact can be the simplest luxury
