01 · THE WORK

Five things I am asked for most.

Every brief is different. These are the shapes it usually takes.

Property finding

A house you can actually live in, not a listing you have to imagine.

Tell me what you need and I start looking, through relationships built over years, not portals. Short lets, long lets, or the place you buy and keep. I visit in person, photograph honestly, and tell you which ones I would reject.

SHORT & LONG LETS · PURCHASES · VETTED IN PERSON

Relocation

For people moving to Italy, not just visiting it.

Digital nomads, retirees, families and entrepreneurs arriving from abroad. I handle the neighbourhood, the landlord, the practical first month and the hundred small things nobody tells you before you land.

DIGITAL NOMADS · RETIREES · FAMILIES · ENTREPRENEURS

Visa Leases

A rental contract that stands up to Italian paperwork.

I help secure leases that satisfy a Permesso di Soggiorno or visa application: the right kind of registered contract, with landlords willing to sign it, structured the way Italian authorities actually expect.

Property Management

Your house, looked after while you are not here.

For owners who live abroad or visit for part of the year: I check the house, arrange maintenance and trusted trades, meet deliveries, prepare it before you arrive, and send you photographs that tell you the truth. The relationships that find houses are the same ones that keep them in good order.

Events & Experiences

Private dinners, small groups, and afternoons that are not in the guidebooks.

I put together private dinners, small group experiences and tours built around what you actually want to see and taste drawing on decades of knowing who cooks, who makes, and who opens the right door.

THE DETAILS

Terracotta, shutters, which side of town gets the morning sun. The details decide whether a house works and they are the things a listing never tells you.

02 · HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, no surprises.

I keep the process short and the information honest. You always know where things stand.

You tell me

Your budget, your timing, the things you cannot live without. A voice call is usually enough to know whether I can help.

I look in person

I visit, photograph and vet. You hear what I found, including why I rejected the last three.

We shortlist

Viewings in person or on video, with the landlord relationship already warm and the difficult questions already asked.

You arrive

Keys, utilities, the doctor, the good bakery. I handle the practical details so you can just settle in.

04 · WHO I WORK WITH

People who are moving, not just visiting.

Digital nomads

A base in Tuscany that works for six months, not six days.

Retirees

Slower streets, a doctor nearby, a house that suits the next twenty years.

Families

Schools, space, and a neighbourhood where children can walk.

Entrepreneurs

A home office with a view and a landlord who understands a foreign contract.

05 · BEYOND THE HOUSE

The part that makes it Tuscany.

Some clients come for a house and stay for the life around it. I arrange private dinners, small group tours and afternoons that do not appear in guides: a gelateria in a mountain village that has won national awards, a chamber music evening in a frescoed palazzo, a table of friends who cook better than most restaurants.

That side of my work grew out of the SoNoRo chamber music festival in Arezzo, where I serve as organisational director, eight editions of bringing an unusual, ambitious festival into the city of Piero della Francesca.
