Moving a villa in Corsier (Genève), between vineyard and lakeshore
Corsier here means Corsier in the canton of Geneva, on the left bank towards Hermance — not Corsier-sur-Vevey in the canton of Vaud. It is a commune that stayed rural: a handful of streets around the church and the mairie on the slope, vineyard tracks running down towards Corsier-Port and its small harbour, terraced village houses, converted farmhouses with their outbuildings, and villas laid out on hillside gardens built up in terraces. A villa déménagement (move) here rarely starts at the front door: the truck parks at the top of the lane and the furniture goes up or down the garden steps, between low walls and planted borders.
That is what makes a villa move a different exercise from an apartment move. There are several floors instead of one, plus a cellar, an attic, a garage, a workshop, garden and terrace furniture, hand tools and machinery, pool equipment and very often a wine cellar. Each of those spaces has its own packing logic, its own weight and its own place in the loading order — and in the old village core, the staircase in a three-storey house with no lift decides what can be carried at all.
So every house move in Corsier starts with a precise survey: width of the access lane, where the vehicle can stand, carrying distance, number of flights of stairs, and whether a furniture lift can be set up against the façade. On top of that come the specifics of large volumes: bespoke packing for valuable furniture, paintings, mirrors, chandeliers, a piano, built-in appliances, the contents of the wine cellar and of the dependencies. All of it confirmed as a fixed quote in CHF, with an insured crew.
Why trust us with your villa move in Corsier (Genève)
Terraces and carrying distance under control
Garden steps, low walls, gravel paths: we size the crew and the carrying equipment for the terraced slopes of Corsier, and we keep weight off lawn edges and planted borders.
Village lanes and parking planned in advance
Narrow vineyard tracks and village streets with no turning space: we choose the vehicle length, plan a shuttle where needed and apply for the parking authorisation that the job actually requires.
Steep staircases, furniture lift or hand carry
Three-storey village houses with no lift and a narrow, steep staircase: we decide at the survey whether a wardrobe goes out through the stairwell, on a furniture lift or by hand, never on moving day.
Wine cellar and outbuildings
Bottles laid flat in braced compartment crates, transported away from heat and vibration, plus vineyard tools, workshop equipment and pool gear inventoried and loaded on their own.
Valuable furniture protected
Bespoke packing for paintings, mirrors, antiques, chandeliers and a piano, with full protection of wooden floors, terracotta tiles and stone thresholds at both addresses.
Permits and third parties coordinated
We apply for the macaron (temporary parking permit) and the loading-zone authorisation where the address needs one, and we coordinate with your régie (managing agent), gardener or concierge when you are not in the country.
How your villa move works in Corsier (Genève)
- 1
Site visit and fixed quote
We walk the property, survey the volume room by room, measure the access lane, the carrying distance and the staircase. The price depends on volume in m³, access and the number of floors, and is confirmed as a firm figure in CHF.

Permits and load plan
Packing materials delivered in advance, the parking authorisation or macaron requested from the commune early enough to be issued in time, the slot coordinated with your régie or notary, and the carrying plan validated.
- 3
Packing, numbering and inventory
Wardrobe contents, paintings, mirrors, chandeliers, the piano and delicate pieces packed room by room; cartons numbered, inventory list closed and photo condition report taken before anything moves.
- 4
Loading in waves
Living areas first, cellar, workshop and outbuildings next. Floors and thresholds protected, furniture lift or relay carry across the terraces, everything strapped down in the truck and covered by our transport insurance.

Unloading, furniture reassembled, built-in appliances reconnected and the wine cellar restocked to your plan. The surplus goes into storage if needed, and we dovetail with your handover inspection and the final cleaning.

Your villa mover in Corsier (Genève)
From the old village core around the church and the mairie, up through the vineyard parcels behind it, down to the properties that step towards Corsier-Port and the lakeshore, we know the practical constraints of this stretch of the left bank. In the core, the lanes are narrow, there is no turning space, parking is tight and the village houses are three storeys with no lift and a steep, narrow staircase — which usually means a furniture lift on the façade or a disciplined hand carry. Along the lake, it is the opposite problem: long gravel driveways, a gate code to obtain in advance, soft edges after rain and lawn borders that a loaded truck will damage if nobody has thought about it.
The Route d'Hermance is the spine of the sector, linking Corsier to Anières and Hermance one way, Collonge-Bellerive and Vésenaz the other, with the inland route through Vandoeuvres and Meinier as an alternative. There is no railway station and the TPG bus between Rive and Hermance is the only public service, so everything here runs on vehicles, ours included. Crews arrive with their own transport, park it on site and work full days rather than shuttling back into town, and we favour early slots before the road along the lake fills up.
A good share of the housing stock here is second homes and properties whose owners are abroad for part of the year, alongside converted farmhouses with outbuildings still full of tools, garden machinery and vineyard gear. We are used to running a move with the owner on the phone rather than in the room: keys, gate codes and access are arranged with your régie, gardener or concierge, the inventory list and photo condition report document what left and in what state, and part of the volume can go into garde-meubles storage while the rest is delivered. Where a village house is held as a PPE (condominium), we agree time slots and shared access with the managing agent as well.

Frequently asked questions — Villa Moving in Corsier
Is this Corsier near Hermance, or Corsier-sur-Vevey?
This page covers Corsier in the canton of Geneva, on the left bank between Collonge-Bellerive and Anières, with its village core on the slope and Corsier-Port below. Corsier-sur-Vevey, above Vevey in the canton of Vaud, is a different commune. We serve both, but the access constraints and the permit procedure described here are the Geneva ones.
The truck cannot get close to the villa. How do you handle that?
It is the normal situation on the vineyard tracks and terraced gardens of Corsier. We park at the closest authorised point, organise the carry up or down the garden steps with a larger crew, and set up a furniture lift where the façade allows it. The carrying distance is measured at the survey and already included in the fixed quote, so it does not turn into an extra on the day.
My village house has three floors, no lift and a very narrow staircase. Can my wardrobes come out?
Usually yes, but not always through the stairwell. At the survey we measure the treads, the landings and the turns, and we decide item by item: dismantling, furniture lift on the façade, or hand carry. Large wardrobes and sofas in old village houses are frequently taken out through a window with the lift, which is faster and safer than forcing a turn in the staircase.
Do I need a parking permit in Corsier?
In the village core and on the narrow lanes, yes, in practice. A macaron or a loading-zone authorisation lets us reserve the space in front of the entrance and put up the signage, and the application goes to the commune with a lead time of several working days. We file it and install the signage as part of the job, and we notify neighbours when the lane is temporarily reduced. Behind your own gate, on a private driveway, it is generally not needed.
Can you move my wine cellar without damaging the bottles?
Yes. Bottles travel lying flat in braced compartment crates, kept away from heat and vibration. We record the cellar rack by rack before loading and restock it in the same order on arrival. Large formats and original wooden cases are handled separately.
Do you take care of the outbuildings, the workshop and the garden?
Yes, and they get their own inventory: vineyard and garden tools, ladders, mowers, pool equipment, workshop gear, garden and terrace furniture. They are packed in materials suited to dirty or sharp items and loaded separately from the living areas so nothing marks the valuable furniture.
Can you handle a piano, paintings and built-in appliances?
Yes. Piano and heavy items with specialist handling and the right equipment; paintings, mirrors and art in bespoke crates or rigid covers; chandeliers dismantled and boxed. Built-in appliances are disconnected, protected and reinstalled in the new kitchen.
How are my belongings insured, and what is documented?
Transport is insured and our liability is set out in the quote. Before loading we close a written inventory of what travels and take a photo condition report of the sensitive pieces and of the floors, thresholds, driveway and lawn edges at both addresses. If anything is queried later, the evidence is already in the file — which matters especially when the owner was not present on the day.
Is the quote still fixed with such a large volume?
Yes. After the on-site visit — volume, access, carrying distance, furniture lift, cellar and dependencies — we confirm a firm amount in CHF covering crew, trucks, packing materials and protection. Nothing is added on the day as long as the agreed scope does not change.
What if the new house is not ready on the moving-out date?
We keep all or part of your belongings in secure garde-meubles storage, backed by the inventory, and deliver on the date that suits you. It is a common arrangement here when a renovation on a lakeside property runs late.
Can you tie the move in with the état des lieux and the final cleaning?
Yes, and it is worth planning as one sequence. We schedule loading so the property is empty before the handover inspection, arrange the professional final cleaning and take what you are not keeping to the déchetterie or to a charity. A clean handover is what protects your deposit.
Nobody will be on site on moving day. Does that work?
It works, and it is frequent in Corsier given the number of second homes. We agree access in advance with your régie, gardener or concierge, confirm the gate code, work from a room-by-room plan you have validated, and document everything with numbered cartons, the inventory list and photos. You get the file the same evening.
