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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
