With ten new residences added across Europe, Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes continues to redefine discreet, service-led travel for today’s most discerning guests.
Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes continues to redefine private luxury travel with the announcement of a significant global expansion, adding ten new residences to its carefully curated portfolio. The collection now spans 35 Exceptional Homes across 14 of the world’s most desirable destinations, marking a key moment in the evolution of the brand’s private home offering and reflecting a growing appetite for discreet, service-led travel experiences.
Among the most notable additions is the debut of Florence as a new destination. Villa Petrucci introduces guests to the heart of the Renaissance city through a rare private retreat that blends cultural immersion with quiet seclusion. Set against sweeping views of Florence, the villa features lush gardens and a private pool, with interiors shaped by a five-year restoration led by acclaimed architect and designer Massimo Adario. The result is a refined dialogue between historical architecture and contemporary design, offering a sense of place without sacrificing modern comfort.
In Sardinia, the collection welcomes Villa Marzia, a coveted beachfront home with direct coastal access and uninterrupted sea views, capturing the effortless elegance of Mediterranean living. Southern Italy also sees further expansion in Puglia, where two authentic trulli, Trullo delle Dame and Trullo dei Pumi, have been sensitively restored to honour regional heritage while delivering privacy and contemporary ease.
Marbella continues to emerge as a key growth destination, with six new design-focused villas added to the portfolio. Located in sought-after areas such as Nueva Andalucía’s Golf Valley, several properties enjoy frontline views over Las Brisas Golf Club, reflecting a modern interpretation of Andalusian living.
Each Exceptional Home is individually owned and selected for its location, architecture and character, paired with Mandarin Oriental’s hallmark service. Guests benefit from dedicated concierges, private chefs, daily housekeeping and bespoke experiences, ensuring the intimacy of a private residence with the assurance of a world-class hospitality brand.
“As the portfolio evolves, our focus remains on purposeful growth,” says Philip Leighton, Head of Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes. “This next phase reflects both the strength of the collection and our ambition to continue expanding while preserving the discretion and exceptional service our guests expect.”
