Our Philosophy

Your home deserves
an expert guardian

Ella Properties was born from a simple reality: the most beautiful villas on the Esterel coast are often second homes — spaces of joy and investment — cared for by owners who cannot always be present.

We are the trusted presence that bridges that distance. Every inspection is documented. Every contractor is personally vetted. Every emergency is handled with the same urgency you would apply yourself.

Our Story

Created by owners,
for owners

I grew up in Saint-Raphaël, then spent years in London before returning to invest in properties along the Esterel coast. Renovating, building and managing our own villas here gave us a direct view of what was missing: a coordination and property care service built by people who have been through it themselves — not an estate agency, not a generic concierge.

We have experienced first-hand every source of difficulty an absent owner faces — unreliable contractors, administrative complexity, the anxiety of not knowing what is happening at your property. That field experience, from our first renovations through to active rental management, is the foundation of everything we do.

Our team is available — genuinely available. We understand the importance of being reactive, whether by WhatsApp or by phone. When something happens at your property, you hear from us first.

What We Do

Complete care,
nothing overlooked

Our work is built around the specific needs of absentee villa owners on the Esterel coast — from routine and preventive, to exceptional and structural.

01
Intendance &
Property Watching

Your eyes and hands on the Esterel, every week of the year.

Regular, documented presence on your property throughout the year — not just in summer. We visit your villa on a schedule agreed with you, check every room and the full perimeter, and alert you immediately if anything needs attention.

Administrative
Management

Every bill paid. Every letter handled. Nothing left undone.

We take the full administrative weight of your property off your shoulders. Utility providers, insurance companies, the syndic — we are your representative on the ground, so you never have to make a phone call from abroad about a French administrative matter again.

Works Supervision
& Renovation

Your on-site project manager. Your eyes on the budget. Your guarantee of quality.

Managing renovation works from another country is one of the most stressful things a villa owner faces. We step in as your full on-site representative — briefing contractors, controlling quality and spending, escalating issues before they become costly, and sending you detailed video updates throughout.

Our Approach

Simple to begin,
thorough always

1

A visit to your property — at no charge

Every collaboration begins with us visiting your villa in person. We assess its condition, understand what matters most to you, and create a baseline technical inventory. No commitment required on your part.

2

A proposal tailored to your property, within 48 hours

Within 48 hours of our visit, you receive a clear service proposal based on your property, its location, and your priorities — with transparent monthly pricing and no hidden costs.

3

Ongoing reporting, always available

Once active, you can reach us at any time. If something needs attention during a visit, we handle it immediately and keep you informed. You are never left wondering what is happening at your property.

Owner Experiences

Trusted by owners
across Europe

"We live in Brussels and our villa in Agay had been difficult to manage for years. Ella Properties transformed the situation completely. Weekly reports, total peace of mind — and when a storm damaged the terrace, it was handled before we even knew about it."

Pierre & Isabelle M.
Villa owners, Agay — Brussels

"Managing a terrace renovation in Théoule from London seemed impossible. Ella Properties managed every contractor, sent us video updates twice a week, and delivered the project two weeks early and under budget. We couldn't have done it without them."

Tom & Sarah K.
Villa owners, Théoule-sur-Mer — London
