Overview: A Timeless Villa, Purpose-Built for Hospitality
Villa Kassar is a case study in rental success built on smart design, market insight, and hands-on partnership. From architectural sketches to furnishing and ongoing guest operations, Cohotel designed, co-developed, and now fully manages Villa Kassar for consistent, above-market returns.
Five years later, the property continues to thrive, earning over 200 glowing reviews, 4.92+ rating, 20%+ gross annual returns, and a loyal base of repeat guests drawn to its unique blend of heritage charm and modern comfort.
Design First: A Villa Built for Hosting
Long before its first guest arrived, Cohotel worked with the property owner to bring the vision of Villa Kassar to life. Our team handled the full creative and practical process:
- Architectural design
- Material and finish selections
- Furniture design
- Lighting, textiles, and layout optimized for Airbnb photography and guest usability
The result? A six-bedroom villa that feels luxurious, personal, and unmistakably local, while operating with the durability and flow of a boutique hotel.
“Cohotel went above & beyond, they designed the experience, end to end.”
– Villa Kassar Owner
Operations: How We Manage a Top Listing
Since launch, Cohotel has overseen every element of day-to-day operations, allowing the owner to remain fully hands-off. This includes:
- Listing optimization on Airbnb and other platforms
- Guest messaging and service, coordinated remotely and through local staff
- Revenue management
- Maintenance, cleaning, and on-site coordination
- Review management and reputation building
Each aspect is continuously refined using real-time booking data, guest feedback, and Cohotel’s internal performance metrics.
