History
Indigo Lodges was founded by Ivan Sellers in 2002 and ceased trading on the 20th January 2009.
The business was initially focused on finding luxury properties in the Alps for wealthy clients that wanted both excellent chalet accommodations and discerning services. Since the high-end villa and chalet business at this time was fairly new, clients needed to speak to someone who could best advise them on the ideal resort, property and services for them. Indigo Lodges very quickly developed a reputation for objective advice and expanded its range to include summer villas, setting up operations in numerous countries to be able to also respond to clients speaking other languages than English. As a result of the financial crisis of November 2008, Indigo Lodges was not able to refinance its debt and suffered cash flow problems that forced it to cease trading. The assets of the company were bought out by Leo Trippi.
