You love Lake Como.
But you can't be here
every time something happens.
Lake Como is one of Europe's most sought-after luxury real estate destinations but navigating the Italian market from abroad is genuinely difficult. Language barriers, complex bureaucracy, unreliable contractors, and a market that moves fast. That's where I come in.
Whether you already own a property on the lake or you're thinking about buying one as an investment, I provide the kind of hands-on, personal service that most agencies simply don't offer.
- Americans, British, or European nationals looking to invest in Lake Como
- Existing property owners who need local management and representation
- Investors who want detailed scouting reports before committing to a visit
- Anyone who needs a trusted English-speaking contact to handle Italian bureaucracy
- Owners wanting to maximise rental income via Airbnb, Booking.com or short-let platforms
Four ways I can be
your partner in Italy
Every service is designed for clients who are not physically in Italy. You stay where you are and I take care of everything here in Italy

How it works
Getting started is easy. Book a first conversation about what you need and we can plan a journey together.
01First 1 hr video call
We speak on Zoom ,WhatsApp, Google Meet. You tell me your goals, your situation, your timeline. I tell you exactly what I can do and what it will cost.

I send you a clear, written proposal of services, scope, timeline, and fees. No surprises. You decide what you want to proceed with or just if you are happy with the consultation

Once we agree, I handle everything on the ground and keep you updated with reports, photos, and calls as often as you like.
What makes this different
from a standard agency
01
Truly fluent English
Not "I speak a little English." I communicate fluently no misunderstandings, no translation delays, no frustration.
02Entrepreneur mindset
Before real estate, I built businesses in other sectors. I think about your investment like an investor not like an agent chasing a commission.
03Deep local roots
I'm from Como. I know the lake, the municipalities, the best and worst streets and things you won't find on any real estate portal.
04Full professional network
Through SoloAffitti and years of work, I have trusted lawyers, accountants, surveyors, and contractors ready to support any need.
05One point of contact
You deal with me and not a call centre, not rotating staff. One person who knows your situation, your goals, and your preferences.
06Total transparency
Clear fees, written proposals, monthly reports. You always know exactly what's happening with your investment.
Simple, honest fees.
No surprises.

"
I was looking at properties near Cernobbio from New York and had no idea where to start. The scouting report I received was incredibly detailed video, photos, a written assessment, and a candid opinion. I flew over only once and made my decision confidently. Worth every cent.
JM James M. New York, USA Investment buyer "Managing our apartment remotely from London felt impossible until we found this service. The Airbnb listing went live in a week, and we received our first monthly report within 30 days. The communication is excellent we always know what's happening. Highly recommend to any foreign owner.
