A man stands in a doorway with a red door, smiling and crossing his arms. He has dark hair, wears glasses, a white shirt, blue jeans, and slip-on shoes. The background shows an interior staircase and a staircase railing.

Philipp von Borries

Philipp is the host of our house in Cádiz and someone who brings places to life.

With German-Spanish roots and influences from England and Italy, he grew up between different cultures, yet there has always been one place that felt like home: Cádiz. As a child, he spent every summer here, developing a deep connection to the city, the sea, and the unique atmosphere of this coastal region.

Philipp combines a joyful, positive presence with a strong sense of aesthetics, structure, and hospitality. He loves bringing people together and creating spaces where connection happens naturally.

Movement, healthy food, and a mindful lifestyle are just as important to him as an appreciation for beautiful things and meaningful conversations. At the center of it all is one thing: community.

As a host, Philipp ensures that our house is not just a place to stay, but a place to truly arrive: clear, vibrant, and thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail.
