Dimitris Giannakopoulos and Anna Deimezi listed among the 2009 World's Villa Rental Specialists by Condé Nast Traveler

Athens based White Key Villas Managing Partners named to Condé Nast Traveler Top Villa Rental Specialist

White Key Villas Managing Partners Dimitris Giannakopoulos and Anna Deimezi have been recognized among the Top Villa Rental Specialists for 2009 by Condé Nast Traveler magazine.

Only 49 candidates made Condé Nast Traveler’s exclusive list for 2009. The distinguished specialists are selected for their exclusive services like handpicking villas that have an authentic sense of place and providing their outstanding expertise to clients who are looking for a villa rental.

White Key-representatives Giannakopoulos and Deimezi use a very personal and meticulous modus operandi in handling their villa portfolio but also the diverse client expectations that characterize each rental. Being both native Greeks and admirers of the natural beauty of their country, they truly know the destinations they offer by heart. They also make a point of personally staying in the villas they represent in order to truly experience the house first hand. It is for this reason that they can provide confident guidance to their clients to find the ideal destination and the style of vacation they have been dreaming of.

White Key-representatives have been selecting the villas in their portfolio very carefully, constantly evaluating new properties and they personally inspect all the houses annually. Opting for personalized services all the way through, they visit each property 1-3 days before each rental. They also offer travel assistance and a concierge at the villa location.

“These two Greek natives have sourced high-end properties that span the mainland and the islands, many concentrated on the Peloponnese peninsula and in the Cyclades. A lot of their homes are beachfront, the rest are no more than a ten-minute drive away from one, and all have sea views and come with daily housekeeping,” said Condé Nast Traveler Consumer News Editor Wendy Perrin.

“We are very glad to be among Condé Nast Traveler’s selected Top Villa Rental Specialists this year,” said Anna Deimezi. “This recognition further attests that White Key has the right driving force in its line of work, which is a true passion for outstanding quality and service. We hope that our distinction will make more people aware that there are exceptional villas available for rent in Greece of the highest standards and served by devoted and serious professionals.”

Condé Nast Traveler’s selection process

Each year, Condé Nast Traveler Consumer News Editor Wendy Perrin leads a team of editors in evaluating applicants. Listed villa specialists have undergone a rigorous screening process that includes a 47-question application with sample house books and client references, then continues with phone interviews and, in most cases, road-testing by Condé Nast Traveler staff. Perrin receives hundred of letters annually from around the world reporting back on the properties that were recommended by these specialists, and you can read the most recent ones on Wendy Perrin’s blog at perrinpost.com.
