The wonderful story of hoomy

  • Drawing on the rental experience in Spain

    Summer after summer, when Thierry Violleau, the Happy Founder of hoomy, rented houses for his holidays on the French coast, he experienced the same disappointments: an almost non-existent welcome and very average quality of the rented properties. In Spain, the experience was totally different, with access to highly developed concierge services and excellent hospitality.

  • 2010: the beginnings of the project

    By 2010, Thierry was already imagining what hoomy would be like. At a time when no one else was taking an interest in the overall management of holiday homes, he was thinking about a comprehensive solution for owners of second homes. That’s how the idea of hoomy and its range of services came about.

  • 2017: the big launch

    In 2017, the company was created and the first employees recruited. Starting from a blank sheet of paper with only a concept, an idea, a vision, they “learned by doing” without an understanding of all the aspects of this new profession. In March 2018, the first contract was signed. A month later, the first advert was online and by May 2018, the first booking had been confirmed. We were off!

  • And now?

    Today, with more than 110 employees and nearly 750 properties under management, hoomy continues to grow with a single goal in mind: helping customers get the full potential out of their second properties! Gone are the days of closed shutters and cold beds – second homes are finally getting a new lease of life, and it’s a win-win situation!
