The founder

A vision shaped by a hospitality background

Coming from the world of luxury hospitality and passionate about Riviera real estate, Arthur Merlino founded Liberty House with one belief, that the most beautiful villas deserve an approach as personal as a five-star hotel.

Years spent in prestigious establishments in Paris, Monaco and Saint-Tropez left him with an obsession for detail and an intimate knowledge of the region. That dual culture is the DNA of Liberty House.

Every owner is welcomed like a guest, every traveller like a guest we have been expecting. No chatbots, no queues, just one dedicated Travel Advisor from start to finish.

A letter from the founder

A personal note

Liberty House

Paris - French Riviera - Saint-Barthélemy

Dear traveller,

You are reading these lines because you are looking for more than a rental. You are looking for a stay, an atmosphere, perhaps even a memory you will keep for years. That is exactly what we commit to offering you.

We founded Liberty House because generic platforms cannot do what we do, which is to listen, understand and anticipate. No villa enters our selection unless we have seen it, and our standards set the number, never the other way round.

Whether you are coming for a wedding in Saint-Tropez, a family holiday in Saint-Barth or a discreet working stay on the Riviera, you receive the same care from a dedicated Travel Advisor, reachable at any time, orchestrating every detail.

Looking forward to welcoming you.

Arthur Merlino

Our values

Our values

Excellence

Excellence

Every villa personally inspected, every service held to the highest standards, every detail refined until it feels effortless.

Bespoke

Bespoke

No two guests are alike, and no two stays should be. Every exclusive holiday is designed around who you are.

Local roots

Local roots

Deep roots in every destination. Our teams live where you travel, which is what makes their recommendations genuine and their addresses the ones only locals know.

Our commitments

Responsible luxury, rooted in the places we work

Luxury and ethics are not opposed. We work every day to make Liberty House a company that contributes rather than extracts.

Ecology

Villas selected with a DPE energy rating of A or B, partnerships with chefs who source locally, and guidance on responsible habits during stays.

Local economy

Our concierge service is built on the Riviera’s artisans and craftspeople. We favour local independents, because that is what makes a stay irreplaceable.

Transparency

Fees known upfront, no hidden commission for travellers, an escrow account for every sum we hold. Luxury is earned through integrity.
