There are women who design villas by the sea, who welcome guests to mountain lodges, who mend broken bookings with the quiet skill of diplomats and the tenderness of hosts.
There are women who rise before dawn to write invoices, polish cutlery, and send their children off to school before the first check-in arrives.
For all of them, WVREC was imagined.
It is not a stage for performance, but a table around which conversation becomes courage.
Here, success and struggle sit side by side; here, ambition speaks softly but with conviction.
Each woman arrives with her own story, and each leaves with a sense that she was always meant to be here.

Across Europe, women form the living heartbeat of hospitality. They manage more than half of all small accommodation businesses,
yet occupy scarcely one third of executive positions within them.
Studies show that women reinvest up to 90 percent of earnings back into their families and communities, yet remain under-represented in the very conversations that define the industry’s future.
Such imbalance is not born of ability but of invisibility, and invisibility dissolves only in the light of recognition.
WVREC exists to cast that light – warmly, collectively, without apology.
It is a space where women may speak as they are, without diminishing the scale of their achievements or the softness of their character.
• WVREC is where business meets belonging, and every woman’s story finds its place. •

Throughout the day, voices long accustomed to restraint are allowed to stretch.
Ideas are tested in safety; laughter arrives without permission.
Talks and workshops weave practical insight with emotional intelligence, so that learning feels less like instruction and more like remembering something one had always known.
You may come seeking direction and leave instead with conviction; come for business, and leave with belonging. Somewhere between the first handshake and the final applause, something begins to settle – the quiet recognition that you are no longer alone in your vacation rental business.

Cristiana Carpini has spent nearly two decades shaping the world of short-term rentals with both intellect and intuition. She began, as many remarkable women do, by learning through necessity – one property, one owner, one detail at a time. Over the years, her sharp understanding of numbers and her reverence for human connection turned simple collaborations into thriving international partnerships.
As the founder of Tara Home Consulting, Cristiana and her team bring that same expertise to WVREC, hosting and nurturing the conference with the warmth, precision, and vision that define their work. Born from a moment of transformation in Cristiana’s own life, WVREC grew into more than a conference – a movement where women stand together in the same spirit that once carried her through. Those who meet her quickly understand that she builds with both precision and heart, and that her conviction has already changed the course of many stories.
