Pre-Season Home Check-Up
A fresh perspective to make sure your home is fully prepared for the season—without the stress of managing it all yourself.
✔ On-site assessment – We walk through a detailed checklist, spotting things you might overlook.
✔ Clear improvement plan – Within a week, you'll receive a summary with targeted recommendations.
✔ Fast execution – If desired, we handle small maintenance, interior updates, and even rental photography—ensuring everything is ready within a month.
✔ Discuss rental potential & presentation – We help refine how your home is shown on social media & booking platforms.
Sometimes, a fresh perspective is all you need. It’s not always about major renovations—often, it’s the small details that make a space feel just right. This check-up is a quick, structured assessment, not a deep-dive brainstorming session. It’s designed for homes that are already in good condition but need those final touches to feel complete.
* Price €150 – credited if you book a service.
Styling & Furnishing Updates
Finding the right furniture, coordinating deliveries, and creating a cohesive interior takes time—and without a well-thought-out plan, the result can often feel disconnected or just not right.
✔ Save time & avoid frustration – Sourcing the right pieces and managing deliveries remotely is more time-consuming than expected.
✔ A home that feels right – When everything comes together seamlessly, a space instantly feels more welcoming.
✔ Essential for rentals & hospitality – A well-styled home stands out, attracts bookings, and encourages guests to share their stay, boosting visibility.
In Piemonte, stunning landscapes are everywhere. To truly stand out in a competitive rental or B&B market, the interior needs to be just as memorable.
Whether it’s a second home, a B&B, or a winery experience, we help you create an interior that feels effortless but is carefully designed to leave a lasting impression.
* Price depends on needs of the client.
