OUR JOURNEY
“ We have been working closely with Avant Garde over the last 7 years and the results have been brilliant! The awareness of the Villa Spalletti Trivelli brand has grown exponentially and the number of room nights from the Indian market are up YOY. The knowledge of the Luxury market that Pooja and Kunal have has been of incredible help in positioning the Villa in this new and growing market, and as a boutique hotel Owner and manager, having such partners based locally helps so much in handling & qualifying requests and queries in a smooth, fast and more efficient way”
