Finding someone to look after your home shouldn’t be a gamble.
Nostos is being built in Cyprus, by hand, one home at a time. Here is what we are trying to fix and how we think about it.
There was no in-between.
Right now, it's an anonymous classifieds ad or a stranger's WhatsApp number — or cold-calling company after company with no way to compare them. We talk to every company ourselves, so you don't have to gamble on a stranger.
Nostos doesn't replace Cyprus's cleaning companies — it makes the good ones findable, especially if you're new here and don't have a neighbour to ask.
And if something's off, we're one message away.
What “matched on fit” actually means
Two homes, same size, same street. They don’t need the same person. Here’s the kind of thing we’re weighing up.
What someone might tell us
“Three bedrooms in Kato Paphos. I work from home, so I need someone who’s fine with me being around, and quiet. I’ve got a nervous rescue dog. I’d rather nothing with a strong smell — my daughter’s asthmatic.”
What we’re looking for
✓ Comfortable in an occupied home, not just empty holiday lets
✓ Good with dogs, and honest enough to say if they’re not
✓ Happy to use fragrance-free products, or bring their own
✓ Free on a weekday morning, once a fortnight
Availability is the easy part. The rest is the job.
What your home remembers
Everything you tell us stays with the home, not with one cleaner. So nobody starts from scratch, and you never explain it twice.
For your home
Access, alarm codes, and where things are kept.
Products you like, and the ones you’d rather nobody used.
The routine that works, and the corners that always get missed.
For your company
Every property’s quirks written down, not carried in one person’s head.
Cover a sick day without a twenty-minute phone briefing.
New staff arrive already knowing the home.
We want to hear from you either way
You need a home cleaned
Matched to your home, not to whoever is free.
The price agreed before anything starts.
A person reads every request, and answers it.
