Property Management · French Riviera & Provence
Your home, perfectly cared for while you are away.
One English-speaking house manager who looks after your second home and coordinates every provider, so you never have to.
The problem
You own a beautiful home in the South of France. You are rarely there.
Coordinating the pool, the garden, cleaning, maintenance and works from abroad is a constant headache, often in a language that is not yours. You cannot ask the neighbour, and juggling a dozen providers is not why you bought a home here. You want one person you trust to handle it all.
What we do
Your dedicated house manager
All your providers, managed
Pool, garden, cleaning, domotics, maintenance. We coordinate and supervise every provider so you deal with one person, not ten.
Regular home checks
Scheduled visits with a photo report after each one, so you always know your home is safe and in perfect order.
Works, overseen end to end
We source quotes, appoint trusted craftsmen and supervise the works on site, with a single point of contact.
Ready for your arrivals
We open, air and prepare the house before you arrive, and close it properly when you leave.
Emergencies handled
Leak, storm, alarm, breakdown. We respond fast on the ground while you are hundreds of miles away.
Mail & admin
Mail collection, meter readings, liaison with the syndic and local services. The small things, off your plate.

Frequently asked questions about second home property management
How much does managing an unrented second home cost?
The retainer starts at €250 per month. It is a single monthly fee covering the management of your home and all its providers, tailored to the size of your property. Larger estates are quoted on request.
What does the house manager actually do?
They coordinate all your providers (pool, garden, cleaning, domotics, maintenance) so you deal with one person only, carry out regular home checks with a photo report, oversee works end to end (quotes, craftsmen, on-site supervision), open and prepare the house before your stays, handle emergencies (leak, storm, alarm, breakdown) and take care of mail, meter readings and local admin.
Where do you offer this service?
Across the French Riviera and Provence, in six areas: the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Aix-en-Provence and Sainte-Victoire, the French Riviera (Nice, Cannes), the Alpilles and Luberon, Bandol and the Var coast, and the Provence Verte.
Is it suited to foreign or non-resident owners?
Yes, that is the heart of the offer: one reliable, English-speaking contact who gets things done without you having to chase or negotiate from abroad. The service is designed for premium homes with pool, garden and domotics that already rely on several providers.
How am I kept informed about the state of my home?
Visits are scheduled regularly, with a photo report after each one. In case of an emergency (leak, storm, alarm, breakdown), we respond fast on the ground while you are hundreds of miles away.
