Your villa in good hands, even when you’re not there

Year-round villa management and support for second-home owners on the Côte d’Azur

Q: What’s included in your villa and property management services on the Côte d’Azur?

Our villa management service includes regular property checks, keyholding, supplier coordination and local support, all year round. During the high season, we take care of everything on-site: from assisting with guests to urgent repairs and managing cleanings. Owners don’t need to be involved in the day-to-day. We make sure it’s looked after professionally and personally.

Q: Can you help with tourist tax declarations and French administration?

Yes, we assist with tourist tax declarations and help with local admin tasks like utility contracts, insurance, internet and liaising with government offices. We simplify the paperwork so you don’t have to deal with it from abroad. If you’re renting out your home, check this page for an overview of the rules. We’re happy to explain how it works in practice, but we always recommend speaking with a qualified tax advisor for anything financial.

Owning a holiday home that truly feels like a holiday!

A second home on the Côte d'Azur is fantastic; a place to relax, recharge, and enjoy. But managing it from a distance can be challenging, especially if you rent it out during the busy rental season. You want peace of mind, knowing your property on the Côte d'Azur is well taken care of for year-round, without having to chase suppliers or fix issues remotely.

That’s where we come in: Fleur sur Mer offers local, year-round villa and property management across Sainte-Maxime, Grimaud, and Les Issambres.

From maintenance and rental coordination to guest communication, we provide reliable, on-the-spot support so your home stays in perfect shape and your time here remains stress-free.

Experience and knowledge that fit your needs

A reliable partner makes all the difference, especially when managing a second home on the Côte d'Azur from a distance. After years of working with homeowners in Sainte‑Maxime, Grimaud and Les Issambres, we have learned that every villa and every owner is unique.

That’s why we offer three clear villa management packages: from essential local support for hands-on owners, to complete property management solutions for those who prefer to delegate everything with confidence.

Wondering what we actually do?

Good question. Terms like "villa management" or "property management Côte d’Azur" can sound vague. So we’ve grouped our work into three clear categories. Each designed to keep your home in top condition, support your guests, and make second-home ownership simple and stress-free.

Property management

Reliable support all year round. We take care of everything that comes with owning a second home. We understand French bureaucracy, speak the language, and act quickly when needed. Whether it’s an emergency or a scheduled visit, requesting quotes or chasing contractors, organizing cleaning and linen for your own stay, or handling admin. Everything gets done, without you needing to worry.

Rental support

Want to rent out your villa but avoid the 3 a.m. calls or answering the same questions with every booking? We act as the local point of contact for both rental agencies and guests, offering 24/7 support for any question, issue, or emergency. From a warm welcome at check-in to a detailed inspection at check-out, we handle all on-site logistics (cleaning, linen, and guest communication) with our own trusted teams, ensuring consistency and quality throughout the season.

Concierge services

For guests renting your property, we offer optional extras to make their stay even more comfortable.

From a ready-to-enjoy fridge on arrival to private chefs, nannies, or other personalized services. We take care of the details that make a stay special.

A look behind the scenes

We share a few thoughts and experiences from our daily work with villas in Sainte-Maxime, Grimaud and Les Issambres: from guest experience and the small surprises to hosting, maintenance and property care.
