Who is behind Villazil
Two co-founders, one simple principle: connecting you directly with owners of verified villas in the French Caribbean, with zero traveler service fees.
Our story
Villazil was born from a simple observation: the finest villas in Martinique are often booked through large platforms that add service fees and put distance between you and your host. We prefer the opposite: a tight catalogue of verified villas, and a direct connection with the owner or our local partner, who answers you in person.
Martinique is our starting point. We select every villa there, each displaying its French tourism registration number on its page, as French law requires.
The team
Nicolas Mathieu
Co-founder, in Martinique
On the ground, working with owners and local partner agencies. He visits the villas, checks every listing and knows each commune first-hand.
Julien Ernewein
Co-founder, product and technology
He builds the site, the booking engine and the tools that keep calendars and rates up to date in real time.
Our commitments
- Every villa is verified and displays its French tourism registration number.
- €0 traveler service fees: the price you see is the owner’s price.
- The deposit is paid through secure Stripe payment, straight to the owner.
- A human calls you back within 30 minutes during business hours.
What Villazil is not
Villazil is not a real-estate agency and is never a party to the rental contract. We connect you: you book directly with the owner or our local partner, and the contract is concluded between you and them. That is what guarantees a price with no middleman and a contact who truly knows the house.
