# Search and Discover Your Next Curated Stay on Ddriftt
> Find your next stay by destination, type, or staylist. Every property on Ddriftt is hand-picked by a real curator — never algorithm-ranked.
Every stay on Ddriftt has been hand-picked by a curator with real taste and genuine knowledge of a place. You won't find mass listings here — instead, you browse a focused, intentional collection of properties that someone has personally stood behind. Whether you search by destination, filter by property type, or follow a curated staylist, every result you see has cleared a human bar, not an algorithmic one.
## How to find your next stay
From the Ddriftt homepage, use the search bar at the top to type a destination — a country, city, or region. You can also select from the featured Popular Destinations directly on the homepage.
Your results load instantly and default to **Recommended** sort order. Use the property type filter to narrow results to Hotels, Villas, or Cabins. Every listing shows the nightly rate, guest capacity, and location upfront.
If you'd rather explore by theme or mood, skip the search bar entirely and browse staylists — themed collections curated by Ddriftt and independent curators. Open a staylist and scroll through its properties the same way you would a search result page.
Click any property card to view its full page: photos, description, room and suite options, guest capacity, nightly rate, and curator attribution. When you're ready, check availability directly from the property page.
## Searching by destination
Type any country, city, or region into the search bar and Ddriftt returns only the curated stays available there. Results show the total number of stays found and default to Recommended order.
A few examples of what you'll find:
* **Japan** — 17 curated stays including The Shinmonzen (Kyoto), Ace Hotel Kyoto, Janu Tokyo, K5 Tokyo, FUFU Nikko, and Maana Homes
* **Portugal** — 20 curated stays including Vermelho Melides, São Lourenço do Barrocal, Sublime Comporta, and Casa no Tempo in Montemor-o-Novo
Because every result is curator-vetted, a search for "Japan" returns 17 considered picks — not thousands of unfiltered options you have to sift through yourself.
## Browsing by property type
If you know the kind of space you're looking for, filter results by type:
| Type | What to expect |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hotels** | Boutique and design-forward hotels with full service |
| **Villas** | Private residential properties, often exclusive-use |
| **Cabins** | Countryside and wilderness retreats, typically remote |
Apply a type filter on any search results page or from the homepage navigation to start browsing within that category.
## Browsing staylists
Staylists are curated collections of properties grouped around a theme, mood, or travel occasion. Instead of searching for a specific destination, you can follow a curator's taste and discover places you might never have thought to look for.
A few staylists currently on the platform:
* **Coastal getaways** — 13 stays including Petunia Ibiza (ES), Borgo Egnazia (Fasano, IT), The Rooster Antiparos (GR), Nihi Sumba (ID), Cap d'Antibes Beach Hotel (FR), and Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa (Ischia, IT)
* **Honeymoon hotels** — 14 stays curated for romantic travel
Each staylist shows the curator who built it, the number of stays it contains, and a cover image. Click **View Staylist** to browse every property inside it.
Type a country, city, or region to see all curated stays in that place. Results default to Recommended order and can be filtered by property type.
Explore themed collections built by Ddriftt and independent curators. Each staylist groups properties around a mood, occasion, or setting.

## Understanding property listings
Every property card in search results and staylists shows you the essentials at a glance. When you open a full property page, you'll see:
* **Photos** — a full gallery of the property
* **Location** — city and country (e.g., Montemor-o-Novo, PT)
* **Description** — the story of the property: its history, design, and setting
* **Rooms & Suites** — each available room or suite with its own description, guest capacity, and nightly rate
* **Curator attribution** — the curator or curators who added the property (e.g., Casa no Tempo is curated by Emily Padan & @hinter)
* **Nightly rate** — shown upfront in the property's local currency (e.g., EUR €900/night for Casa no Tempo)
* **Guest capacity** — how many guests the property or room accommodates
* **Check Availability** — the direct booking entry point, no OTA redirect
Results are sorted by **Recommended** by default. This order reflects curation quality and editorial relevance — not sponsored placement or review volume.
