Private Estates & Villas
Off-market houses, in-residence staffing, and the difference between a rental and a private estate.
Do you secure private estates not listed on the open market?
Yes. The estates we recommend most rarely appear on rental platforms — private houses, owned by Greek and international families, made available through the network the house has built over years. We know the houses, the owners, and the staff.
Owners share their houses with us because requests are filtered carefully and the house stands behind the clients it sends. If a brief calls for something we do not have, we say so plainly and recommend what we know well nearby.
Can the villa be fully staffed during our stay?
Yes — chef, housekeeper, butler, security, drivers, childcare, fitness, in any combination, drawn from the professionals our estates specialists work with each season. References are shared in advance for any role involving direct family contact.
For longer stays, staff live in or near the estate for the duration; for shorter stays, a chef and housekeeper visiting daily is often enough.
Do you handle estate purchases for clients?
The house advises on private estate acquisitions in Greece, introducing clients to vetted legal and architectural counsel. We do not act as estate agents: the engagement is independent — introductions to off-market properties, due diligence on title and conservation status, and oversight of any renovation.
For sensitive areas — listed buildings, coastal protected zones, islands under archaeological protection — begin the conversation before making an offer.
