Villa Management in Çeşme & Alaçatı
Alaçatı is famous for its wind, and the wind is the reason the houses are built the way they are — low, stone, shuttered, turned away from the north. It is also the reason they need a different maintenance calendar to anywhere else on the Aegean.
THE WIND
What the peninsula does to a house
Wind load, continuously. Not storm damage — attrition. Shutters, awnings, external textiles, pergolas, glazing seals and roof fixings here reach the end of their life years earlier than the warranty assumes. External elements need a shorter inspection cycle than anywhere else we work.
Stone. The traditional Alaçatı stone construction that gives these houses their value carries its own requirements: pointing, breathability, and a hard rule against the modern sealants and cement-based renders that trap moisture inside a wall built to release it. More damage is done here by well-intentioned repair than by weather.
Conservation. Within the protected area, external interventions are governed. Colour, joinery, shutters, roof and street elevation are not free choices, and unpermitted work creates a liability attached to the property.
A very short season. Çeşme’s intensity is concentrated into a few weeks. Occupancy, water use, pool load and staff pressure all peak at once and then stop. Both states carry risk — heavy use, then months of stillness.
Water. Supply on the peninsula is limited and pressure is inconsistent at peak. A house with a full guest list needs its storage and pressure situation understood before August, not during it.
THE ADVANTAGE
One local advantage
İzmir is forty minutes away. The vendor pool available here — particularly in specialist trades, electrical work and restoration — is deeper than anywhere on the Bodrum peninsula.
The advantage is real, but only if somebody is holding those relationships to a written standard rather than a phone number. Availability is not accountability.
METHOD
How we work here
Inspection against a written standard, with external envelope and wind-exposed elements on a shortened cycle.
Stone and joinery maintained by specialists who understand traditional construction — and a hard veto on materials that will damage it.
Conservation-aware planning, so routine work does not become an unpermitted intervention.
Vendor scopes written and verified before acceptance. Fees and any supplier relationships are set out in the contract.
Seasonal opening and closing, and arrival readiness as a verified state rather than a feeling.

Standart Inspection
Before or after the season, at handover or before a sale, a villa inspection shows where the house stands — findings photographed, ranked by priority, with clear next steps.
Discuss your residence
A first conversation usually begins with one question: does the residence need management, support for the team already there, or an inspection?
