Property management in Tuscany
Villa management in Tuscany for owners living in Amsterdam
Tripcare, a luxury villa property-management company in Tuscany, manages houses for owners who live far away. Tripcare manages the villa for owners in Amsterdam, in the same time zone as Tuscany, through an owner portal in English showing the calendar and documents, a monthly statement with the supplier invoices attached, calls in office hours, a photo report after every visit to the house and two owner visits a year, or as many as we agree.
From Amsterdam, Tuscany is a two-hour flight away. KLM typically links Schiphol with Florence several times a day, and other airlines typically fly to Pisa, some seasonally; from Florence, Poggibonsi and the Chianti are under an hour away, from Pisa about an hour and a half. Those who prefer the car cover about fifteen hundred kilometres through Germany and Switzerland or Austria, usually with a stop. Many Dutch owners bought the villa after years of summer holidays in Tuscany with their children, use it in the school holidays and let it in the other weeks of the season.
With the same time zone, the distance from Amsterdam weighs little on communication. Calls take place in office hours, in English, with Italian available. The mandate and the contracts are signed with an advanced electronic signature, without travelling; documents sit in the portal and arrive by email. Tripcare holds the keys, with every handover recorded. For repairs we agree a threshold in euros: below it we act and document with photos and invoice, above it we call you first. When you arrive from Schiphol, the house is prepared as for a guest, with pool and garden in order and the calendar blocked as far ahead as you prefer.
What Tripcare does applies to every owner, in Amsterdam as in Bologna. Guests are checked in in person, never through a key box. A member of the team is within 15 minutes of every villa managed, in the Chianti as in the Val d’Orcia. Every month you receive a statement in English with income, costs and the supplier invoices attached: suppliers are re-invoiced at cost, without mark-up. The relationship starts with a free on-site visit to the house and a written proposal within 48 hours. From Amsterdam you can follow the visit by video call or set it during one of your stays at the villa.

Frequently asked questions from owners living in Amsterdam
Tripcare answers here the questions owners living in Amsterdam ask before entrusting their house: remote signature, call times, how often to come to Tuscany. The answers hold for anyone managing from a distance; for your villa the on-site visit makes them precise.
If I live in Amsterdam, how quickly does Tripcare act when there is a problem at the villa?
A member of the team is within 15 minutes of every villa managed, so the response does not depend on your distance. For issues below the agreed spending threshold we act at once and show you the work in the photo report; above the threshold we call you in Amsterdam before proceeding, except in emergencies that put the house or the guests at risk.
Can I sign the mandate from Amsterdam without coming to Tuscany?
Yes. The mandate and the contracts are signed with an advanced electronic signature, valid in Italy, and the documents stay in the owner portal. No visit is required to start: Tripcare visits the house, you follow it by video call if you wish, and you receive the written proposal in English within 48 hours. Your own visits to the villa remain welcome.
What time can I speak to Tripcare if I live in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam and Tuscany are in the same time zone, so calls are set within our office hours, 10:00–19:00, with no conversion. Communication is in English, with Italian available. For emergencies concerning the house or the guests the team contacts you without waiting for the agreed time.
Shall we talk about your house in Tuscany?
A free on-site visit and potential assessment, no obligation: a written proposal within 48 hours of the visit. The first meeting is a video call, in your city’s hours.
