Your private residence.
Our hospitality team.Luxury Villas with Private Chef & Butler in Italy
Private Chef, Butler and Sisma Management — your residence, run like a private hotel.
How can we work together?
Choose your path.
What is Full Catered
We never simply sell an empty residence.
Sisma is not a villa rental company and not a staffing agency. We operate selected private residences as fully catered hospitality experiences. The residence is the setting. Hospitality is the product.
Without Full Catered
- You rent the property.
- You organise the services.
- You coordinate the stay.
With Sisma Full Catered
- Your residence becomes a private hotel.
- Sisma operates the hospitality.
- One team manages the stay.
We do not simply place staff.
We operate the stay.
