Property management in Tuscany
Villa management in Tuscany for owners living in Munich
Tripcare, a luxury villa property-management company in Tuscany, manages houses for owners who live far away. Tripcare manages the villa for owners in Munich, in the same time zone as Tuscany, through an owner portal 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.
Among foreign cities, Munich has the longest-standing tie with Tuscany. By air, Lufthansa and Air Dolomiti typically link Munich with Florence in little over an hour’s flight, with several frequencies a day; from Florence, Poggibonsi and the Chianti are under an hour away. By car you cross the Brenner on the A22 to Modena and continue on the A1: about six to seven hours, and many Bavarian owners do it with the family in summer. The villa was often bought after years of holidays in the same area, and is used a few weeks a year and let for the rest of the season.
The distance from Munich is a matter of kilometres more than of practice. The time zone is the same, so calls happen in office hours; communication is 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, above it we call you first. When you arrive from Munich, by air or car, the house is prepared as for a guest, with the calendar blocked ahead as you prefer.
What Tripcare does is not affected by the country you live in. 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 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 Munich you can follow the visit by video call or set it during one of your summer stays at the villa.

Frequently asked questions from owners living in Munich
Tripcare answers here the questions owners living in Munich 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.
How many times a year do I need to come to Tuscany from Munich?
There is no minimum. Many Munich owners come twice a year, often a long stay in summer and a short one in spring or autumn, by air or by car over the Brenner. Every arrival is prepared as for a guest, with cleaning, linen and the pool ready, and the calendar blocked as far ahead as you indicate.
In which language do I speak to Tripcare if I live in Munich?
In English: statements, photo reports, the proposal and the contracts are available in English, and calls are held in English; Italian remains available if you prefer it. The Italian supplier invoices attached to the statement stay in Italian and are explained line by line on request. Working in the same time zone, calls are set in office hours.
Can I sign the Tripcare mandate from Munich without coming to Italy?
Yes. The mandate and the contracts are signed with an advanced electronic signature, valid in Italy, and the documents remain available 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 within 48 hours. Your own visits remain welcome.
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.
