House management & Property management

A single point of contact to look after your property, coordinate the teams and follow things through on site.

For twenty-five years I have worked in hospitality in Saint-Tropez. I look after owners’ houses, year-round or for the season. I also take on site supervision as a standalone assignment, for owners, architects and venues.

I come from a family with two generations in the running of private houses, and I grew up in that world. It taught me the value of discretion, of rigour, and of the trust that is built over the years.

My path through hospitality in Saint-Tropez has been broadened by work abroad, notably in Hong Kong, where I ran my own company in the restaurant sector as F&B manager. Managing teams, coordinating the people involved and a sense of service are the thread running through it.

Today I put that experience to work for the owners and projects entrusted to me. Above all, I want to build lasting relationships with my clients, founded on attentive follow-up, transparent communication and commitments that are kept.

A single point of contact, a relationship of trust

Knowing your house, understanding your expectations and following through over time: that is how I see my work. I remain your direct contact, coordinate the professionals involved and make sure the information you receive is clear and regular.

House management, property management and site supervision: three services, taken on independently or together, as your needs require.

House management

The running of the house and its teams

Year-round or for the season, I run the day-to-day organisation of your house. I coordinate staff and suppliers, prepare stays and see that service runs as it should — respecting your habits and your privacy.

I am your point of contact for the needs of the house and its teams, with constant attention to the quality of the welcome and the continuity of service.

Staff & suppliers
Recruitment and management of qualified household staff: housekeepers, chefs and others.
Upkeep & maintenance
Coordination of the teams and contractors working year-round or seasonally: garden, pool, housekeeping, and the technical equipment (air conditioning, plumbing, alarm). Supervision of each intervention and oversight of the standard of the work.
Administration & budget
Management of the household budget, settlement of invoices and staff payroll. Regular statements, so the spending is always clear.
Day-to-day
Family diaries, travel arrangements, coordination of deliveries and everyday purchasing.
Private entertaining
Preparation and coordination of dinners, receptions and family occasions, with oversight of the suppliers and of how the evening runs.

Property management

Looking after your house, all year

I keep your property in good order, whether you are there or not. Regular visits, coordination of the contractors and supervision of the work: I anticipate what the house will need and keep you informed of what has been done.

It gives you one person on the ground who knows your house and follows it through the year.

Fixed-fee or à la carte services
Upkeep & maintenance
Regular inspection visits covering the general condition of the property, the grounds and the technical installations. Planning of maintenance work, coordination of the contractors and follow-up on the works, with a written report of each intervention and of any repairs needed.
Security & monitoring
Checks on the alarm systems, coordination with the security company and handling of alerts according to your instructions. Management of access for anyone attending the property: keys, a key safe, and the terms of entry. Locating the stopcocks and cut-off points, written notes on how the installations work, and agreed procedures for an incident — particularly in your absence.
Preparing the house before you arrive
Coordination of the cleaning, bringing the equipment back into service and checking the installations before your stay. Provisioning to your instructions, so the house is ready for you.
Administration & budget
Setting and tracking the running budget for the property, checking invoices and paying the contractors. Detailed statements of what has been spent and what is coming.

Site supervision

Someone on site for the duration of the works

I work with owners, architects and venues following their projects in and around Saint-Tropez. I make regular technical visits to track progress, ease the coordination between trades, and handle the practical side.

I flag whatever needs your attention or your decision. At the end of each month you receive a photographic report and a summary of the work carried out.

The engagement runs for the duration of the works, separately from any property management mandate.

Regular visits and progress tracking · Coordination of the trades and site logistics · Monthly reports and photographic records
Consulting

The search for household staff, introductions to trusted professionals, or the follow-up of seasonal rental stays can also be taken on as specific assignments. I also help North American establishments secure key French-trained F&B personnel.

Experience

Experience built over time

My experience in Saint-Tropez and abroad has given me a practical knowledge of service and team management, and a network of professional and personal relationships built over the years. That background now feeds my coordination work and the choice of the people I can introduce you to.
