Advisory

Independent counsel through every stage of an Italian real estate position.

Acquisition, repositioning, hospitality conversion, restructuring and discreet divestment — delivered by senior advisors with two decades of operating experience in the Italian market.

Approach

We are paid to be candid.

Our advisory work is independent of any property mandate. We are not compensated by the seller side; we are retained by the client to provide an honest read of the opportunity, its risks and its long-term value.

In practice, this means we frequently advise clients to walk away from transactions that do not meet their objectives — even when our own commercial interest would suggest otherwise. We consider this discipline to be the entire foundation of the relationships we build.

Mandates we accept

Six areas in which we work.

Acquisition advisory

From mandate definition to closing, including target identification, valuation, structuring, due diligence coordination and negotiation support.

Hospitality & repositioning

Conversion of historic estates, palazzi and coastal properties into operating hospitality assets, with operator introductions and pre-opening guidance.

Cross-border structuring

Coordination with leading Italian and international counsel on the appropriate holding structure, residency considerations and tax efficiency.

Family asset stewardship

Long-term stewardship of family-owned Italian real estate: succession planning, intra-family transfers, restoration management and operating governance.

Discreet divestment

Where a sale is required, we orchestrate it privately — placing the asset with a qualified successor without disturbing the family's privacy or the asset's market position.

Market intelligence

Bespoke private research on regions, asset classes and counterparties, prepared on a retained basis for clients with a defined deployment thesis.

Engagement

Advisory mandates begin with a single, unhurried conversation.

We will not propose terms before we understand the question. The first meeting — in Milan, on Lake Garda, or remotely — is reserved for listening, and is conducted under confidentiality.
