From Costa del Sol to Côte d’Azur with &Hamlet

Christian Foss studied the concept of co-ownership for more than ten years before making his move. Today, he owns an apartment on Costa del Sol and a villa in Provence - both through &Hamlet. He has also already sold one share at a solid profit.

Co-ownership without compromise

When Christian Foss was looking to buy a holiday home abroad, he knew that the numbers rarely add up. “We had decided to buy in Spain, but came to the realization that the property would not be used enough. When I became aware of &Hamlet, everything fell into place.”

The solution became smart co-ownership through &Hamlet, where everything from operations to allocation is handled from day one. “They have solved everything I believed was important when it comes to co-owning holiday homes.”

“I am convinced that this is how many people will buy holiday homes abroad going forward. You get more of what matters most - time, experiences and quality - without all the responsibility that comes with owning alone.”

Foss describes the experience as a combination of coming home and checking into a hotel. The garden, the pool, the cleaning - everything is taken care of. “It’s like a Kinder Surprise - you get a larger and better home than your budget would allow on your own, completely hassle-free ownership, and you avoid everything related to operations,” he says. “Everything is arranged so that people can own and use the home without any form of inconvenience.”

A flexible lifestyle across countries

Foss initially purchased several shares on Costa del Sol, both as an investment and to study Spanish real estate projects. When the dream villa in Southern France appeared through &Hamlet, it felt like an opportunity he did not want to miss, and recently he purchased a share in Villa Saint-Aygulf in the heart of the Côte d’Azur.

“The model works just as well on the Côte d’Azur as on Costa del Sol. You share the costs, but get the full experience,” Foss explains. “&Hamlet attracts quality-conscious owners from many countries, and that creates an exclusive atmosphere you do not achieve on your own.”

After the purchase in Southern France, Foss chose to sell one of his shares on Costa del Sol - with a strong return that shows &Hamlet properties are also sound investments. “It is environmentally friendly, rational, and you get more value for your money. Co-ownership is far more sensible than having a property that stands empty most of the year.”

The experience of being a &Hamlet owner

&Hamlet handpicks properties, upgrades them to their own high standard, and delivers them fully furnished. For Foss, the overall quality was decisive. “My experience with &Hamlet is very good. I quickly gained trust in the people behind the concept,” he says. “It comes across as professional and well thought through down to the details. Every time I arrive at the property, everything is prepared.”

A smarter way to own

For Foss, &Hamlet represents a shift in how people think about holiday homes. “I am convinced that this is how many people will buy holiday homes abroad going forward. You get more of what matters - time, experiences and quality - without all the responsibility that comes with owning alone,” he says.

“Everyone I speak to says: ‘My God, this is brilliant.’ I believe this will become a major trend. It is a brilliant solution. You share the costs, but get the full experience.”
