Check into your private Italian villa with the UK’s first luxury property service

To meet the growing demand for uniqueness and exclusivity, local property experts, Kalliste, have launched into the UK to offer tailor-made services to villa buyers and owners in Italy.

Based in Perugia, Kalliste specialises in property in the regions of Umbria and Tuscany. It is the first property management company offering a one to one service which answers the personal requirements of existing and future property owners; from sales and rentals through to management and restoration work carried out on the most unique properties.

Catering for buyers and holidaymakers who have a passion for the dolce vita, Kalliste comprises of a team of professionals with international experience in luxury hotel services.

Kalliste’s services range from finding the perfect property to match the taste and requirements of a client, developing a renovation project - including the latest home management technology, carefully selecting the material - whether rustic or with refined lines, and finally caring for every aspect of it during the renovation period and once completed, giving owners complete peace of mind when they are not there.

A concierge service is also available on request to personally prepare the property for the arrival of its owner and as a key contact for the client on arriving in Italy.

Marie Josèphe Mucchielli, general director of Kalliste, comments: “Our clients are dolce vita lovers with a clear picture of their perfect Italian home. We understand that their requirements are unique and recognising their requests and ideas in order to help them create the perfect sanctuary.
