Nice to Antibes and everywhere in France remotely
Our services
Our team is based in Cagnes-sur-Mer and operates in the field between Nice and Antibes: Le Cros-de-Cagnes, Villeneuve-Loubet, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Biot, Vallauris, Juan-les-Pins, Cap d’Antibes, Valbonne, Vence, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, La Colle-sur-Loup, Roquefort-les-Pins and Tourrettes-sur-Loup.
For accommodation located elsewhere in France, the Digital formula works 100 % remote.
This is the all-inclusive package where we take care of everything: creation and publication of the listing, photos, pricing, calendar, guest communication, check-in, cleaning, linen, and minor repairs. You no longer need to get involved, except to block off the dates when you are staying at the property.
It comes in two versions: “Sérénité” at 20 % (excluding tax) and “Confort” at 23 % (excluding tax), which includes in-person passenger check-in. View full management.
This is the rental of furnished accommodation to transient guests for a few nights to a few weeks, without the tenant establishing their residence there. This is the regime for furnished tourist accommodations, such as Airbnb, Booking, or Abritel.
It generally generates much more income than a traditional lease, at the cost of daily management: it is precisely this management that we take care of. Estimate what your property can earn.
It is the rental of a furnished accommodation for a period of one to ten months, generally to a student, an employee on assignment, or a person in transition. The monthly rent is lower than for short-term rentals, but the schedule is stable and rotations are rare.
It is a good off-season option on the French Riviera. We use it to bridge the winter when the property is suitable. See dynamic pricing.
No, never. With the Serenity package, your guests enter on their own using a secure key box or a digital keypad, at whatever time suits them. With the Comfort package, a member of our team welcomes them in person and hands over the keys.
Yes, and that is what we recommend for most properties: a secure key lockbox or a keypad, the code for which is sent to the guest on the same day. This makes arrival times flexible and avoids waiting around for both parties.
Access instructions are sent the day before, in French and English. See passenger communication.
No. Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, and towels are provided, washed, and replaced by us, in quantities adapted to the number of beds. You have neither inventory to build up nor laundry to run between stays.
Beyond day-to-day management: professional photo shoot, personalized welcome booklet, welcome kit, coordination of tradespeople for repairs, off-season inspection visits, and property refurbishment before its initial listing.
Basic necessities for a hassle-free start to your stay: toilet paper, soap, shower gel, shampoo, dish soap, sponge, trash bags, coffee, tea, and sugar.
It is restocked every time the housekeeping passes, and supplemented by the welcome booklet. View the welcome booklet.
Three steps. First, a free estimate of your income, based on your address and the property's characteristics. Then, an on-site visit to view the home and together set the rules, the periods you reserve for yourself, and the plan.
Finally online: photos, listing, price, distribution across platforms. Count on two to three weeks between the visit and the first possible reservation. Request an estimate.
Reservations
With full management, we handle all reservations: this is what prevents double bookings and keeps calendars synchronized across platforms.
If you prefer to stay in control of the communication and welcoming guests, the Digital package, at 10 % excl. tax, leaves you in charge of the field while trusting us with the listing, pricing, and calendar. View the Digital plan.
Of course, it’s your property. You can block off the dates when you’ll be using it—as many times as you’d like—and we’ll handle the rest. Just let us know far enough in advance so we don’t have any confirmed reservations for those dates.
Because each platform applies its own traveler service fee and displays the total differently. The price we set is the same everywhere: it is what is added on top that varies.
We also adjust our rates according to the specific demand of each channel. View simultaneous broadcast.
Starting in 2027, for direct bookings and those made through Booking, in the form of an online authorization hold: no amount will be charged if the accommodation is returned in good condition.
On Airbnb, it is the platform that applies its own damage coverage system, and the procedure goes through it. In both cases, the photographed inventory of fixtures at check-in and check-out serves as evidence. View the condition report.
The platforms. Airbnb, Booking, and the others collect it directly from the traveler at the time of booking, then remit it to the municipality. You have neither calculations to make nor declarations to send for these bookings.
The scale depends on the municipality and the classification of the housing: it is detailed on the official tourist tax information sheet on service-public.fr.
Renting out your property
Yes. On the coast between Nice and Antibes, the high season runs from April to October, but demand does not disappear in the winter: congresses, business travel, long-term stays. That is where dynamic pricing makes a difference.
We adjust prices week by week rather than leaving the calendar empty. See dynamic pricing.
Three levers, in this order. The quality of the listing and photos, which determines the number of clicks. The price, adjusted to the season and events rather than set once and for all. The rating left by guests, which impacts your ranking.
The fourth lever, more subtle, is multi-broadcasting: combining audiences that do not overlap. See how we work on these levers.
This is the simplest case: you block out the periods when you visit, and we rent out the rest. You need to register the furnished tourist accommodation with the town hall and include the resulting number on the listing, which we help you do.
Depending on the municipality, a change of use may be required. The general rules are on the official fact sheet for the furnished tourist accommodation on service-public.fr.
Yes, up to a limit of 120 nights per year, while you are away. Beyond that, the accommodation is no longer considered your primary residence and the rules change.
If you are a tenant, the landlord's written consent is required. It is a good way to make money during a vacation or trip. Estimate your income on this basis.
The housing must be decent and fully furnished: bedding, hobs, an oven or microwave, a refrigerator, tableware, utensils, a table and chairs, storage, lighting, and cleaning equipment. A smoke detector is mandatory.
Beyond the legal minimum, it is Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and the washing machine that make the biggest difference in bookings. View the creation of your ad.
No. If you don't have one, we create the listing and publish it. If you already have one with a history and reviews, we take it over: this history has value and it would be a shame to start from scratch.
By registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, observing a two-month notice period. This period is used to honor reservations already confirmed, which remain payable by travelers.
We will then send you the access details, photos, and the welcome booklet: they are yours. Contact us.
That is not a good idea if we manage your property: two listings for the same property are redundant, the calendars fall out of sync, and the risk of a double booking becomes real, along with the associated penalties.
We write the ad, you review it before publication, and we publish it across all platforms from a single calendar. View simultaneous broadcast.
Three. One for cleaning and maintenance, one for guests, and a spare kept safely at our place. This is what allows us to intervene without disturbing you, including on a Sunday.
The concierge service
Because a well-managed short-term rental takes time every day: answering messages, adjusting prices, organizing cleanings, welcoming guests, and handling the unexpected. And because professional management fills the calendar better than occasional management.
The income gap generally covers the fees by a wide margin. View our rates.
A company that manages your furnished accommodation rented by the night or by the week on your behalf: the listing and its distribution, pricing, calendar, guest relations, reception, housekeeping, linen, and routine maintenance.
It is paid through a percentage of the revenue generated, which aligns its interests with yours. View the details of our services.
We manage your short-term rental between Nice and Antibes, from the listing to the departure of travelers, with a local team based in Cagnes-sur-Mer and a single point of contact. Three packages are available, ranging from 10 to 23 % excl. tax of the generated income.
Yes, for properties that need it before being listed for the first time: decluttering, reorganizing the rooms, adding furniture or bedding, and taking care of the details that will show up in the photos.
The goal is not to redo the decor, but to make the property photogenic and ensure it delivers on its promises upon arrival. View the photo shoot.
Damage is rare and covered: photographed condition report at check-in and check-out, a security deposit starting in 2027 for direct and Booking.com reservations, Airbnb's own system for others, and your home insurance as a last resort.
The real risks lie elsewhere: a poorly managed schedule that downgrades the listing, negative reviews after a botched cleaning, or a property that is registered nowhere even though the municipality requires it. These are precisely the three points we take care of.
