Aleks and Jimmy are the guardians of the Villa Aestival, nestled in a quiet little village in the heart of the Landes National Park, in Gironde. They are owners and directors of the trading company called Alva Tradings. They welcome curious minds, refined travelers, those who seek warmth in all seasons and know how to take their time. Some arrive with a name, others leave it behind.
