The Island rich in history was discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus who named it after his brother Bartolomeo.

It was finally returned to French control in 1878 and remains an overseas collectivity of France. Covering just about 24 square km (9.3 square miles), St. Barths enjoys a tropical climate with warm weather year-round, though rain is more likely from May to November.

Pure Luxury with Jessica Stockman - Why Dream Homes Have Become a Matter of the Heart

From actress to real estate entrepreneur: Jessica Stockmann reveals why dream homes have become a matter of the heart for her.

When she cruises along the Côte d'Azur in a convertible it's pure freedom. But at the same time it's work: Jessica Stockmann, who once made a name for herself as an actress and TV host, is since more than a decade  successful in the luxury real estate business and always on the lookout for interesting properties. Today, she lives alternately on the Côte d'Azur in Hamburg and Berlin.

How can we imagine your job exactly?

It all starts with me looking for properties in prime locations that are in need of renovation. Over the last 20 years, I've become a bit of a truffle pig. (laughs) As soon as I've found what I'm looking for, the planning starts, then the renovation - and finally the furnishing.

Where do you find the furniture and home accessories you use to furnish the houses?

My daughters and I love to travel, and we look for special pieces at antique fairs, flea markets and auctions. For example, we found a vintage barber chair in New York, an antique mirror in Venice and Lalique vases in Antwerp. Luckily, we almost always have the same taste. Beforehand, my daughter Nisha who studied interior design creates a mood board so we know what we're looking for. Nisha accompanies the creative process and I focus on financing and property management.

Reality series like "Selling Sunset," which focus on luxury real estate, are currently attaining huge success. Why do you think that is?

Because the viewer feels like they are getting a glimpse into the life of high society. They are taken on tours and have a supposedly exclusive view through the keyhole. Those show formats have a high entertainment value but the viewer also gets good ideas about what his own dream house could look like.

How much do such shows have to do with reality?

Not much. Reality looks very different in the top league of the super-rich, but we'll probably never get to see that on TV. I can hardly imagine that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates would have filming done at their homes.

Your own dream house is walking distance from the border of Monaco and is called “Villa Monaco". It’s an exclusive luxury hideaway that is often rented especially by famous celebrities. What do your guests appreciate the most?

I think it’s a mix. Of course one of the main reasons is that you can see the sea from every room. The stunning views over the blue Côte d’Azur. That's how you wake up everyday in a good mood and as for the furnishings, it's a mix of designer furniture and art deco antiques. Each piece shares its own story. Villa Monaco  has a very elegant and classy look and is not too opulent. It’s a home and not simply a house.

Mediocre or ordinary villas are probably not your thing?

No, I'm always looking for something special - that rare jewel that I can awaken from its slumber.

Together with your daughter Nisha you are also hosting a very successful German podcast called "Homestory". How did you come up with the idea?

We are often invited to homes of our celebrity friends and many of them have stunning homes that were not shown in the media. Of course we respect their privacy and don’t make photos of their homes but they allow us to talk about their homes. 

Why the Homestory Podcast? Do you think you can learn a lot about a person from their home?

A very clear YES! That’s why the podcast. Questions about the home and how the guests design their living spaces. When I take a peek into someone’s private space, questions automatically arise in my mind.

In every corner, every drawer and every closet, there are items that tell stories and say a lot about how we live. Where do we come from? What gives us comfort? What do we value most? And what do we dream about

How did you grow up yourself?

I lived with my parents in London, Rotterdam, Athens and France, sometimes in houses and sometimes in apartments. How big the house was was never important to me as a child, the main thing was that the family was together and we had fun. My parents were great hosts, the house was always full of guests. It's the same with me and my daughters now. As long as I get to have my family and my favourite people around me, I am privileged and grateful. That, to me, is pure luxury.

You worked as an actress for a long time. Do you sometimes miss that today?

No, because I'm now a producer, director and actress all in one - but not in film, but in my real estate projects. I have created new theater stages for myself with my construction sites, which I direct. I was never afraid of responsibilities and I enjoy the privilege that I can make my own decisions. And what can I say? I love it!

Vivanova People - Alexander Vaal - "With AllDutch Yachting You Don’t Just Charter a Yacht, You Charter an Entire Experience"

After pursuing a career in telecom for twenty years, Alexander Vaal (CEO AllDutch Yachting) left The Netherlands a decade ago to completely change his life and start over in the south of France. Growing up Alexander spend many years in France with his parents, studied in Paris and lived in Bordeaux, so he had no trouble adapting to the French way of life.

Before arriving in the Côte d’Azur, Alexander did a six-month Yachtmaster training to become an allround captain. After that, the first yacht he sailed was a VanDutch 40. “A beautiful, fast and sleek yacht that quickly became one of my favorite day-boats.”

Because of his background in sales and his love for boating, Alexander found his new passion as a yacht broker. For seven years he worked with specialized and world leading companies such as YachtZoo and Fraser Yachts. “During this time I met many people, including my current business partner.” They both share the same admiration for especially VanDutch Yachts. So much, they invested in multiple VanDutch yachts.

With these yachts they started a charter company in 2020 and herewith, AllDutch Yachting was born. “Our first season we only worked/had our guests enjoy for approximately 2 months because of COVID-19. An extremely short season but still, it was a great success!” So much so, that they invested in new yachts to expand their business. “In 2021 we really had an amazing season with lots of tailor made charters and returning customers.”

“With AllDutch Yachting you don’t just charter a yacht, you charter an entire experience.” AllDutch Yachting differentiate themselves by creating a special day where everything is taken care off. The possibilities are endless. AllDutch Yachting is located in Monaco, which makes the pick-up at Monaco Yacht Club effortless and ‘last-minute’ bookings are easily arranged. AllDutch Yachting will book your lunch reservation at fashionable places like La Guerite in Cannes, beautiful Ferme d’Augustin in St. Tropez and they are more than happy to take you to beautiful places in Italy such as Sanremo for some luxury shopping. “For our adventurous customers we arrange water toys such as Paddle boards SeaBobs, jet ski’s or Flite Boards.” On board you can expect cold beverages, champagne, fruit platters or any other snacks you desire. AllDutch Yachting also offers sunset cruises, where  you can watch the beautiful sunset before turning ashore.

The AllDutch Yachting experience is special. The yachts can comfortably cruise with up to 8-10 people and it still won’t feel crowded. Captains know the beautiful Azur waters and will give guests enough time and space for lunch, swimming, lounging and tanning. The yachts have excellent stereo systems so you can party away on the water. “Any yacht lover, will love sailing with AllDutch Yachting; it’s safe, fast and smooth.”

“For next season we will expand even more. More yachts, more destinations, more charters and more happy customers. We love creating new and beautiful memories for our customers and we will continue to do so.”

A Callender Howorth Masterclass - The Wow Factor in Luxury Interior Design

When you walk into a room and feel taken aback by its beauty and sense of wellbeing, what you are responding to is the mood set by the lighting design. You can have a room filled with beautiful and luxurious furniture and decor, but if the lighting design is not correct, you will not feel the intended energy and experience of the space. In fact, you will feel like something is off, or that it is missing the WOW factor. 

As one of the pillars of interior design, lighting directly affects our senses and our mood. Studies have found that the more intense the light, the more intense emotions are perceived to be. Not only does lighting affect our moods, but directly affects our biorhythm and even our circadian rhythms. 

Lighting is what makes us feel safe and relaxed at home, and directly affects our productivity at work. It also links the connection between rooms ensuring a smooth transition from one room to the next. 

Callender Howorth managing director Mark Howorth explains, “Lighting design is such an important element of the interior design process. It is one of the key ways that we create the wow factor with our designs. There are many facets to getting the perfect interior design – and our lighting design team is key to getting the big wow factor that our clients want.  

Good lighting design adds the magic that lifts and enhances all of our designs to the next dimension. Whether we are looking to create a cosy reading corner or a multi-function space the same principles are adopted to ensure our projects are delivered to the highest level.” 

However, lighting design is a uniquely creative and technical process that requires the vision of  a skilled team that can translate the overall design to produce subtle colours and intensity bringing the design to life. 

Our team at London Lightworks are masters of creating the perfect balance for our luxury residential projects which require the utmost highest attention to precision and detail.

Mark Kazer from London Lightworks shares his intentions behind lighting design. “An expertly designed lighting scheme adds another dimension to your space, bringing an interior design project to life. Great lighting creates depth and height, and cosy spots, and draws attention to your most impressive areas or features of the room. 

It's all about the balance of light and shade and bringing new energy to an interior. Considering a user's interaction with any given space is so important to how a lighting scene is set to ensure it is comfortable and really portrays the moods we wish to create.”

Callender Howorth Interior and Architectural Design provides an English-speaking design and build team for luxury interior design projects across the French Riviera, Monaco, London and New York.

If you are looking to renovate your home, we invite you to contact us by email to Mark Howorth at or call +33 483 5805 27.  For press inquiries contact Juanita Viale.
