2014
Creation of the company
The idea of Le Collectionist was born from an unfortunate experience of one of the partners, who had rented a flat in Barcelona on a classic rental platform. In the end, he realised that the photos were fake and that the service was not up to scratch.
Our first step was to create a portfolio of properties. We started in Saint-Tropez with 60 villas, then Ibiza and Greece. In 2017, Le Collectionist acquired Bonder in Ibiza through a new round of funding, followed by Bramble Ski in June 2021.
With this acquisition, Le Collectionist became the European leader in luxury serviced villa rentals.
🏡 Aujourd'hui, l'entreprise compte plus de 3 500 propriétés de luxe dans plus de 30 destinations dans le monde, et continue de croître et d'innover pour offrir une expérience de voyage unique et personnalisée à ses clients.
💃 L’entreprise emploie aujourd’hui plus de 300 personnes réparties sur 9 bureaux en Europe, mais même si la croissance est au cœur de sa stratégie, l’objectif prioritaire reste toujours de préserver cet esprit familial qui fait toute l’ADN du Collectionist.
⏱️ Près d’une décennie plus tard, grâce à une stratégie de marketing innovante et à une forte présence sur les réseaux sociaux, Le Collectionist est rapidement devenu un acteur majeur sur le marché de la location de villas de luxe et de chalets de luxe en Europe et dans le monde.
