Property management in Tuscany
Villa management in Tuscany for owners living in Turin
Tripcare, a luxury villa property-management company in Tuscany, manages houses for owners who live far away. Tripcare manages the villa for owners in Turin through an owner portal with the calendar and documents, a monthly statement with the supplier invoices attached, calls at the hours you set, a photo report after every visit to the house and two owner visits to Tuscany a year, or whatever number we agree together.
Turin is the furthest of the large Italian cities from Tuscany, yet still within a day’s reach. The Frecciarossa from Torino Porta Nuova to Florence Santa Maria Novella takes about three hours, with direct services and others changing in Milan; the journey is one you can work through. By car, the A21 to Piacenza and then the A1 take about four hours to Florence. Many Turin owners inherited a farmhouse or a family villa, or bought a second home in the Siena countryside or the Maremma, using it for long stays in summer and letting it for the rest of the year.
With three hours on the train, spontaneous visits are rarer and remote management is the norm. Calls take place in office hours, in the same language and the same time zone. The mandate and the contracts are signed with an advanced electronic signature; documents sit in the portal and arrive by email. Tripcare holds the keys, with every handover recorded. For repairs we agree a spending threshold: below it we act and document with photos and invoice, above it we call you first. When you come down, the house is prepared as for a guest, with the calendar blocked as far ahead as you prefer.
What Tripcare does is the same for every owner, in Turin as elsewhere. Guests are checked in in person. 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 of that visit. From Turin you can follow the visit by video call, or time it to coincide with one of your own stays at the villa.

Frequently asked questions from owners living in Turin
Tripcare answers here the questions owners living in Turin 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.
Can I sign the management mandate from Turin without coming to Tuscany?
Yes. The mandate and the contracts are signed with an advanced electronic signature, so from Turin you can complete the start without travelling. Tripcare carries out the visit to the house; if you wish to take part, you follow it by video call or set it on a day when you are at the villa. No visit is required to start, but you are always welcome.
How many times a year do I need to come down to Tuscany from Turin?
There is no minimum. With three hours on the train, many Turin owners come twice a year, often for a long stay in summer and a short one out of season. 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.
How are repairs to the villa decided if I am in Turin?
At the start we agree a spending threshold. Below it Tripcare acts at once, with the local supplier, and shows you the work in the photo report and the invoice attached to the statement. Above it we call you in Turin before proceeding, with a quote and photos, and wait for your decision, except in emergencies that put the house or the guests at risk.
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.
