Comprehensive property & project management for foreigners
The starting point
An easy 90 minutes from Rome's main airport, with a real international community, good healthcare, and a beauty Tuscany's prices haven't caught up to yet.
Most people buying a house in another country hand the whole process over to a patchwork of agents, consultants, contractors and fixers, uncoordinated and each with their own mark-up or kickback.
Salotto is run by two women who live in the region, work with you directly, and disclose every fee — no supplier markups, every referral commission shown to you in writing.
From the first visit to the first guest in the house — one relationship, not a chain of them.
Why Salotto
No supplier markups. Every referral commission is disclosed to you in writing.
Francesca has lived here for more than twenty years.

How it works
We are not a real estate agency — we do not list houses, and we do not work on a seller's commission, nor will we.
01 · Discover
Maybe you have spent a vacation in a place and fallen in love with it, but now might be the time to understand what you actually want. Even within a single region, would it be in a village or out in the countryside, remote or surrounded by community? A guided immersion to test the answer against the reality with someone who lives there is the first experience you must undertake!
Find out more02 · Acquire
We connect you with real estate agencies and search through inventory, but we would rather not be the ones at the table. Where we help most is being your eyes on the ground when you cannot — visiting the houses, asking the right questions. Then notary, permits, and SPID, explained plainly and guided all of the way.

Renovation overseen room by room through a vetted local artisan network, then the house looked after by a caretaker and rented out on your behalf whenever you're not in it.
