Why I started this
Hi, I’m Kasia, founder of Golden Rock Villas, and I’m thrilled to welcome you into our world of real estate excellence!
With over a decade of experience transforming operations across various industries – including senior roles in the hospitality sector – I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of companies and teams. My work has centered on optimizing processes, leading high-performing teams, and implementing innovative technologies, all with a focus on delivering strong results and exceptional guest experiences.
Motivated by a desire not only to contribute to change but to shape it, I founded Golden Rock Villas. This venture brings together my background in operations, a hospitality-driven approach, and a long-standing interest in real estate to create meaningful and well-rounded guest offerings.
My experience includes working with major platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com, as well as private buyers, sellers, and investors. I also bring strategic insight from overseeing operations across Europe, and the Middle East, covering both ultra-luxury and mainstream segments, with a focus on delivering seamless experiences that combined local authenticity with high service standards.
As a certified and homologated real estate agent in Catalunya and Spain, I offer professional, legally compliant services across the property spectrum – whether you’re looking to buy, sell, invest, or turn your property into a high-performing holiday rental.
Fluent in Polish, Spanish and English, and deeply connected to both the Catalan and broader Spanish markets, I stay ahead of trends, regulations, and opportunities – so you don’t have to.
Thank you for trusting us – your goals are our priority, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
