Who We Are

Clarity, reliability, and trust — the way real estate should feel.

Owning a high-value property on the French Riviera should be effortless. In reality, it rarely is: absentee ownership, unreliable providers, and lost rental income quietly erode your asset.

We fix that. From acquisition to rental performance, Velmira Living manages the entire process with discipline, transparency, and consistent communication.

We work with international property owners from a range of countries, including the United States, Turkey, France, and Italy. We build our relationships on trust, honesty, and care.

What We Do

End-to-end support, from first viewing to daily care.

Buying & Selling

Sourcing, negotiation, and a fully guided transaction — with you at every step, in your language.

Acquisition Support

Legal, notary, and financing coordination so your purchase is structured and secure.

Renovation Coordination

Trusted contractors, transparent budgets, and hands-on project management.

Short-Term Rental Setup

We don't just list — we engineer revenue with dynamic pricing and conversion-focused listings.

Property Management

Your local asset manager: inspections, maintenance, and year-round protection.

Concierge Services

Hotel-grade guest experiences, VIP welcomes, and tailored local lifestyle.

Featured Portfolio

A selection of homes and stays.

“Velmira Living has been managing our property in Nice for over a year now. Their entire team is professional and very communicative with us and our guests. Our property would not be a top-performing property without Velmira at the helm.”

Radford Family

Nice

“We feel so lucky to have found Velmira Living to manage our Nice apartment, and we are not surprised they earned our property a Guest Favorite rating on a top short-term rental platform. A trusted partner we couldn't be without.”

Mark Family

Nice

“Velmira Living is a fabulous management company. Under their management, our property has consistently rented and received five-star reviews — Superhost every quarter since listing on Airbnb. I'd give them six stars if I could.”

How It Works

Three services. One transparent process.

Whether you are buying, renting out, or entrusting us with a property you already own — the steps are clear, agreed in writing, and delivered by a named person on our team.

Discovery call

We map your budget, timeline, use case (personal, rental, mixed) and preferred neighbourhoods across Nice and the Riviera.

Curated shortlist

We hand-select properties that fit — off-market where possible — and share honest yield, condition and resale notes.

Viewings & due diligence

On-site or virtual viewings, plus building, legal and notaire checks so nothing catches you off guard.

Offer & negotiation

We negotiate the price, conditions and calendar in your language, and coordinate the compromis and financing.

Notaire & keys

We attend the notary signature on your behalf (via mandate) and prepare the property for use or rental from day one.
