Our Story

A quiet atelier of European villas.

Villa architecture

“We started ADQ because the houses we loved most were the ones our friends whispered about — not the ones we found online.”

ADQ Travels is a small, private atelier based between London and the Mediterranean. Founded by Adrian Q., a former hotelier turned villa curator, the collection is built the old way — through slow travel, personal relationships with owners, and a stubborn devotion to houses with character.

We do not list every villa. We visit each one, sleep a night, meet the housekeeper, and only then decide. Rates and availability are shared on request — never on a public page. It keeps the experience close, and the standard uncompromised.
