Property Management Services :
Whether you're planning to buy and renovate a property, rent it out, or simply make best use of your precious holiday time, our professional Property Search and Management services can help take the hassle out of owning a property in Abruzzo.
One of the features of Italian life is a surprising amount of bureaucracy, with payments of state, local, and refuse taxes required at the local post office, often accompanied by lengthy and impenetrable forms. Even simple procedures, like arranging for your telephone line to be connected, can take days or even weeks, and these can be difficult to arrange from abroad. With responsive communication by phone or email, a simple hourly charging structure, and regular written statements, we provide Italian levels of craftmanship with a British level of efficiency.
Typical services that we provide include:
Administrative services,
Regular cleaning and Maintenance,
Repairs and Renovations.
Ski:
There are 17 ski resorts in Abruzzo and the slopes are said to be central Italy’s finest. The rich and diverse range of ski resorts are ideal for keen sportsmen, beginners and families. Snowboarding, snow rafting, tobogganing and dog-sledding can also be enjoyed here. Casa Bianca is around 1 hours drive from 4 different ski slopes, with more slopes slightly further away. In the Gran Sasso national park, Campo Imperatore is famous for the abundance of snow that provides breathtaking slopes, even in late spring. A cable car ride here is enjoyable even for non-skiers, to appreciate the magnificent views. Castel del Monte is paradise for cross-country skiers.
Golf:
There is a golf course about 45 minutes drive away from the property. If you wish to use the course, but are lacking a golf partner, please let me know before your holiday. I can arrange for someone to collect you at Casa Bianca and accompany you to the course, play a round of golf with you and organise lunch. Please contact me for further details at my email address.
