villa management services and Support
Looking After Your Home While You’re Away
Our villa management services provide professional property care for overseas homeowners throughout Northern Umbria and the neighbouring Tuscan border. Since 2006, we’ve been helping owners protect, maintain and care for their holiday homes, country villas and private residences through a hands-on, personal approach built on trust, local knowledge and attention to detail.
With over 20 years of experience, Tony acts as your dedicated local contact, coordinating trusted contractors, overseeing essential maintenance and ensuring your property receives the care it deserves throughout the year. As your dedicated property manager in Umbria, Tony provides year-round support, giving overseas homeowners complete peace of mind while they are away from their property.
We don’t carry out building work or maintenance ourselves. Instead, we believe every job should be completed by the right professional. Through our network of trusted local specialists, we coordinate and oversee the work on your behalf, monitor progress and ensure everything is completed to a high standard.

Property Management in Umbria – Compliance & Essential Home Services
Owning a property in Italy involves more than routine maintenance. Many homes require regular servicing, safety inspections and ongoing administration to help protect your investment and, where applicable, meet the requirements for holiday rental properties.
As part of our property management service, we coordinate these essential requirements through trusted local professionals, helping you keep important servicing up to date and ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Annual Boiler Servicing
Italian boilers should be serviced annually by a qualified technician. We can arrange the appointment and ensure your Libretto d’Impianto (boiler service record) is updated and stamped following each service.
Fire Safety Coordination
For properties where fire safety equipment is required, we can coordinate the installation, servicing and certification of fire extinguishers through a trusted local fire safety specialist.
Where applicable, this may include:
- Six-monthly fire extinguisher servicing and certification.
- Maintaining the official fire extinguisher service register.
- Fire extinguishers positioned in the appropriate locations, including near external gas tanks and on each floor where required.
- Coordinating smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector installation and checks for properties with gas appliances.
Chimneys & Fireplaces
If your property has a fireplace or wood-burning stove, we can arrange chimney sweeping and seasonal inspections before the winter months to help keep your heating system operating safely.
Property Administration
We can also assist with the practical responsibilities of owning a property in Italy by:
- Liaising with your accountant regarding IMU and TARI.
- Coordinating utility company appointments.
- Arranging access for inspections and servicing.
- Keeping records of completed servicing and maintenance.
- Reminding you when future servicing is due.
Supporting Holiday Rental Properties
If your property is used as a holiday rental, there are additional responsibilities to consider. We can help coordinate many of the practical requirements, including property safety servicing, contractor access and ongoing maintenance.
We also understand the importance of compliance for holiday rental properties and can guide owners through the practical aspects of maintaining their property, including the coordination of essential servicing and safety requirements. While we don’t provide legal or tax advice, we’re always happy to point you in the right direction and work alongside your accountant, geometra or other professional advisers.
