The island paradise of St. Barts in the Caribbean, the legendary ski resort of Courchevel, Biarritz and the Basque country… Charming and relaxing places full of character. Regulars come each year and rent a house, a chalet or an apartment and enjoy getting back into their routine and reuniting with local acquaintances. Holiday rentals in these resort locations are a different market altogether that on-site BARNES consultants know very well: they are committed to provide the best service.

Legendary Courchevel attracts Russia’s elite

Located in the heart of Courchevel 1850, the rental department of our BARNES office exerts its influence over the entire ski resort and offers many prestigious apartments and luxury chalets to a regular clientele. From December to April, you can come across a French family-oriented clientele and many international clients, on skis and in high-range boutiques and in the resort’s restaurants.  “Integrated with our rental services, our clients greatly appreciate our concierge services,” explains Kira Bobrov, director of our BARNES Courchevel Rental office.

“Personalized customer service and planning of the stay ahead of the holiday season down to the smallest detail, we make the difference with the quality of our properties and our extensive range of services.”

Legendary resort with one the most beautiful ski area, Courchevel attracts each year many loyal clients. Among them, a large number of Russian tourists who come year after year and reunite with friends on site, so much so that the resort celebrates the Russian orthodox New Year. “A wealthy and demanding clientele which benefits the whole resort”, says Kira Bobrov. “In order to meet their needs, and those of our traditional clients’, we work primarily as consultants to owners of luxury chalets and apartments so that their property fulfills quality requirements in terms of comfort, equipment and decoration. We supervise renovation works, help with administrative paperwork, manage the property when needed and monitor outside partners and service providers: BARNES is entirely devoted to the owners and to our clients-tenants.”

St. Barts: priority to customer service!

“Luxury villa or house holiday rentals are one of the most important economic activity on the island”, emphasizes Laurence Vorizot, BARNES’ representative on this island paradise, where the sky is always blue and the Caribbean Sea is warm. “On the one hand, there are a lot of properties available to rent, from small charming houses to large and beautiful luxury villas.

On the other hand, tenants are very demanding and expect on-site service as part of our business offering. We do not merely hand over the keys! Our clients wish to be assisted before, during and after their stay. There is a ‘small-town feeling’ here, everyone knows each other. Everything is based on trust and knowledge. We offer a seamless quality service, which covers a wide variety of areas of intervention.

Managers of the most beautiful villas generally take care of property maintenance in place of their owners with whom we prepare the arrival of the guests and their stay. At the same time, our work involves strong networking, based on trust and on the good relationships we have built with a very loyal clientele, personalized attention to our clients and proper coordination so that everything goes for the best once the guests arrive.”

Basque country, quality first

Working throughout the Basque Coast – from Hossegor and the southern Landes area to Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Biarritz, and up to 30 minutes inland from the beach – the rental department of BARNES Basque country office juggles high demand and a limited supply of properties.  

“Each year, we often see the same people, Basque country lovers, who come here regularly, who rent over the same period houses located in the same area. Some clients fancy Biarritz, others Guéthary or Saint-Jean-de-Luz and they return year after year to their communities and to their favorite beach”, says Albane Leveque, responsible for BARNES’ Rental department. “Our selection of properties include well-located luxury properties, houses situated on the coast or inland and apartments in Biarritz or Saint-Jean-de-Luz. We also have an established network of partners to assist our clients so that their stay takes place in the best possible conditions.

Quality of the properties, quality of our selection and quality of service go hand in hand: that’s what our clients want. Of course demand is higher in the summer, generally for two- to three-week rentals, but rentals for other holiday periods, especially Easter, are becoming increasingly in demand. The Basque country, a region full of charm and character, continuously attracts new visitors, generally families because it offers everything a perfect vacation needs: sea and mountains, a city and authentic charming villages…”
