I grew up in Serre-Chevalier, a ski resort in the Southern Alps. Proud of my roots in the Alps, and having been involved in tourism from an early age, I chose Paris to study business. A few years working in digital marketing start-ups strengthened my entrepreneurial spirit. And so, nourished by my passions for decoration, architecture, photography and the art of living, I decided to launch Casalino.
What drives me at Casalino? The fun part, of course, is visiting beautiful homes and taking photos of them! And what motivates me the most on a daily basis is to see our company evolve, this project I had in the back of my mind and which is becoming more concrete and important every day!
After ten busy years as an in-house lawyer between Brussels and La Défense, and the birth of my two daughters, I felt the urge to take on a new professional challenge, that of entrepreneurship! Since our partnership with Amélie at the end of 2019, it's been a permanent emotional elevator, with hectic days that "make sense"! Having been immersed in real estate from an early age, I've developed a particular attraction for beautiful homes, acquiring a certain expertise over the years, particularly in my home regions of Marseille and Corsica!
What drives me at Casalino? The special relationship with our customers who put their trust in us! I really enjoy meeting these passionate, enthusiastic owners!
We both find the houses for our collection: as we each have our own favorite places and desires, we curate them together. We're constantly on the lookout for new places to develop a confidential collection of homes with a soul. We take the time to talk to the owners, to immerse ourselves in the place and its history... Both based in Paris, we regularly travel around France to discover beautiful homes. Amélie has a passion for photography, and is responsible for the artistic direction of the site and our Instagram account. Our motto: "au naturel" photos, without wide angles, for a more realistic rendering of reality, to help you project yourself into your next vacation.
Marie-Gabrielle Vives has been the jewel in our customer service crown for the past three years. Having spent several years managing a prestigious hotel in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, she now answers all our customers' booking requests from her native Landes. She will provide you with a tailor-made service to ensure that your vacation in one of our homes is a success. Marie-Gabrielle regularly visits Casalino homes throughout France.
What drives him at Casalino? Exchanges! Whether it's with tenants to help them realize their vacation plans, or with owners who love architecture and are as passionate about hospitality as she is.
She is supported by Stanislas Bonnelle, currently a master's student at the Vatel hotel school in Bordeaux. Dynamic and proactive, he responds to customer requests with enthusiasm and punctuality.
What drives him at Casalino? Providing customers with a personalized, made-to-measure approach and an exceptional catalog.
Olivia is in charge of selling the houses on our site. We're convinced that real estate needs to adapt to regain the confidence of buyers and sellers. Our added value? Giving you the opportunity to stay in a house before you buy it.
