A new editorial series across The Luxury Storyteller and Secluded Stays — and an open invitation to the properties we’ve been watching.
This autumn, The Luxury Storyteller and our sister platform Secluded Stays are dedicating a curated section of the TLS Instagram grid to one thing: the view.
Not the pool. Not the interiors. Not the drone shot at golden hour that every villa in the Mediterranean has commissioned at some point in the last three years. The view — the specific, unrepeatable moment when you sit down on a terrace or a balcony or a stone step and realise, properly, where you are.
“We’re looking for properties where the outlook is the amenity. Where the first thing a guest does on arrival isn’t reach for the minibar.”
The series will run across the TLS Instagram feed from September, with each featured property given its own editorial treatment — our text, our framing, your photography. Full credit. No cost. Just the right audience.
The Luxury Storyteller reaches 150,000 Instagram followers across 2 accounts.
Selected properties may also be invited to list on Secluded Stays, our curated boutique villa and hideaway platform, giving your property direct visibility with the same audience when they’re ready to book.What we’re looking for:
01 — A view that does genuine work — sea horizon, valley drop, framed bay, mountain channel. Something that would stop a scroll.
02 — Mediterranean geography. We’re focused this season on Greece, Italy, southern France, the Balearics and the Adriatic coast.
03 — Photography that’s already good. We’re not asking you to commission anything — we’re looking for one image you’re already proud of.
04 — A property with fewer than 20 rooms, or a private villa. This is an editorial series, not a hotel directory.
We’re reaching out to a small number of properties directly — places that stopped us mid-scroll for the right reasons. If you’ve received a message from us, this is the context behind it.
If that’s you we’d love to feature your property in the series. There’s nothing to prepare and nothing to pay. We’ll handle the editorial — all we need is your permission to use one of your existing photos, and a conversation about which one works bestReply to our message on Instagram, or reach us at theluxurystoryteller@gmail.com — and we’ll take it from there.
