We are a hands-on Domestic/Management Couple with 12+ years’ experience in UHNW/VHNW private households and high-end villa operations in France (Provence), Spain (Ibiza) and Italy (Puglia). Calm, discreet and practical, we keep properties consistently owner-ready and guest-ready, especially for part-time residences and holiday rentals, through strong routines, attention to detail and reliable follow-through.
We combine excellent day-to-day standards (housekeeping, laundry and wardrobe care) with solid property management: inventory and supplies, contractor coordination (requesting quotes, scheduling once approved, quality control), garden and pool oversight, security routines, deliveries/errands, vehicle care, and clear written updates on completed work and overall property condition. Owners appreciate that we operate independently, communicate calmly, and make sure things are handled properly without unnecessary back-and-forth.
We also have extensive experience with short-term rental operations, including managing bookings/reservations, guest communication, check-ins/outs, preparing the property before arrivals, coordinating cleaning and linen, restocking essentials, and resolving issues quickly, so standards stay consistent and guests feel well looked after. We understand what drives strong reviews: readiness, cleanliness, smooth arrivals, and fast solutions.
Monique prepares fresh, healthy family-style meals using seasonal ingredients, ideally from a kitchen garden, and keeps the kitchen spotless and organised. Sjoerd leads maintenance follow-up and minor repairs, ensuring issues are resolved quickly and properly. With a strong interest in regenerative gardens and sustainable landscapes, we can also help develop edible gardens and improve outdoor spaces over time.
In short: we are proactive, trustworthy and steady, keeping the property running smoothly whether you are in residence or abroad, and ensuring it always feels like a well-maintained retreat.
