At Villa Tracker, we believe that hospitality is far more than a service—it is a story waiting to be told. That’s why we are proud to be an official sponsor of Doors to the World: Homes and Hosts that Inspire, an extraordinary new book project led by Smiling House Luxury in collaboration with Hospitable Hosts.
This beautifully curated publication will showcase a handpicked collection of remarkable homes from around the world, each brought to life through the personal stories of their hosts. These are not just properties—they are meaningful spaces that reflect passion, creativity, and the spirit of true hospitality.
What makes this project even more special is that each featured property will be illustrated by the talented artist Leary De Wit. Through bespoke hand-drawn or painted artwork, every home will be uniquely captured with an artistic depth that photography alone can’t convey—adding a timeless, collectible quality to the book.
As champions of authentic and inspiring travel, we were immediately drawn to this project. In support of its mission, Villa Tracker has committed to purchasing 500 copies of the book upon release. These copies will be gifted to travel professionals—travel agents, designers, and concierge companies—who are always looking for extraordinary properties to recommend. Not only will they discover exceptional homes, but they’ll also connect with the people and histories behind them.
This book is a celebration of hospitality that matters—of experiences that offer more than a place to stay, but a story to be part of. In a world where meaningful travel is more relevant than ever, Doors to the World offers a fresh and artistic perspective on the people and places shaping the future of hosting.
