Why a Private Caretaker?
What private property management actually changes.
Private property management is not a luxury. It is a practical response to a real situation: your home deserves proper care, and you cannot provide it yourself from a distance.
What does a property manager actually do?
Think of it as having a trusted friend with local expertise living near your property. Someone who checks in regularly, notices what is wrong before it becomes expensive, and handles everything you cannot handle from afar.
In practice: regular inspections, monthly reports with photographs, coordination of all service providers, and a house that is ready and welcoming every time you arrive.
Not a cleaning company. Not a rental concierge. A private caretaker — the difference is total.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a private property manager for a second home?
A second home without regular oversight is a property exposed to risks that go undetected. A property manager provides permanent local presence — catching problems early, coordinating service providers, and preparing the house before every stay.
How much does private property management cost in the Luberon?
Our packages are billed as a monthly retainer. The fee depends on the size, location and services included. We always provide a personalised quote after an initial no-obligation discussion.
How do I manage a property in Provence from the UK or Switzerland?
This is exactly what we are here for. Regular visits with photographic reports mean you can see your property from anywhere. One phone call reaches your dedicated contact in Provence, who can act immediately on your behalf.
What is the difference between a property manager and a concierge?
A concierge typically manages rental guests and short-term lets. We manage private second homes that are not let out. Our mission is to preserve and care for your property — not to generate rental income. The relationship and level of service are fundamentally different.
