ALTHYS RIVIERA

Althys Riviera handles interior renovation and site management from Cannes to Monaco, covering masonry, plastering, painting, joinery, electrical, and plumbing work with remote progress tracking. Their listing states they speak English and work with an international clientele, and a reviewer confirms the team communicated well in English throughout a full studio renovation in Cannes.

English

Althys Riviera works from Valbonne on interior renovation and second œuvre, the fit-out trades that follow the structural gros œuvre: masonry, plastering, painting, joinery, electrics and plumbing, from Cannes across to Monaco. It also does curative and preventive charpente (roof timber) treatment, holding Certibiocide and CTB-P+ qualifications, which counts for more here than most buyers expect given how common termite and beetle damage is in older Riviera roof structures. Reporting is built for owners who are elsewhere: progress arrives as photos and video, with one person managing the job.

One client bought a studio in Cannes and had it turned into a one-and-a-half bedroom apartment, working alongside their own property manager, and names the craftsmen who did it. The listing states the firm speaks English and works with an international clientele, and that client confirms the team operated in French and English. Set against this, a detailed one-star review from a French customer disputes the pricing method on his quote, saying the per-square-metre rates went up as the area to be treated came down, and that tile laying was priced at several times the cost of the tile itself. The lesson is simple and applies to any Riviera renovation quote: read the devis line by line, and if the scope shrinks, have it repriced instead of assuming the unit rates hold.
