BeautifulPlaces Named Preferred Source
for Distinctive Homes by HinsdaleCellars
Sophisticated
collectors will enhance their wine country
travel experiences by choosing from a select
list of luxury properties presented by BeautifulPlaces.
Hinsdale, IL -- July 24, 2007 -- HinsdaleCellars.com,
the online source for premium
wine collection services, has
entered into a promotional agreement with
luxury vacation homes management
agency BeautifulPlaces.
The alliance encourages Hinsdale Cellars'
connoisseur clients to choose from among
35 premier wine country villas and chateaus
when planning travel itineraries across
the major winemaking regions of northern
California and France. A 10% discount on
weekly published rates is extended to referral
clients who secure a reservation with BeautifulPlaces
using promotional code "HCellars".
"Serious collectors of premium wine maintain
very high standards when making plans to
visit and become fully immersed in the world's
leading
wine regions," said Hinsdale
Cellars co-founder Steve Woodward. "We know
that any luxury property selected from the
BeautifulPlaces roster will meet or exceed
our customers' standards every time."
Former brand marketing executive Patrick
Smith created BeautifulPlaces: Vacation
Homes of Distinction in 2003. The homes,
principally in
Sonoma County wine country, are
not simply "rentals" in which typical tourists
sleep off a day of overindulgence.
"We combine the services and amenities
of a small luxury hotel with the comfort,
splendor and privacy of magnificent Wine
Country homes to create a truly unique and
memorable vacation or business meeting experience,"
Smith explains.
The homes are beyond exceptional in terms
of location, design and furnishings, but
that's only one part of the equation. The
core of BeautifulPlaces' success is its
zealous attention to detail and service,
from arranging credible nannys, to scheduling
private chefs or assuring exclusive access
to a private winery or spa, to scoring a
tough tee time for a memorable round of
golf.
Presently, there are 35 homes available
to lease through BeautifulPlaces and its
co-brand, Country Sojourns. Rates per week
range from $2,500 to more than $60,000.
At the higher end, choices include the 18-room
Chateau Villette near Versailles in France
on 185 acres.
The entire lineup can be reviewed at
the
BeautifulPlaces or Country Sojourns
web sites.
Hinsdale Cellars clients who reserve
and stay in one of these inspired properties
before the end of 2007 also will be eligible
to earn a $100 gift certificate when referencing
promotional code "HCellars".
