Property management in Tuscany
Managing historic villas and period homes
Tripcare manages historic villas and period homes in Tuscany: delicate materials that demand craftsmen, not handymen; heritage-authority constraints respected in every intervention; guests selected and briefed, because a fresco is not repaired like a wall. The house’s value comes before the calendar.
A period home imposes a different order of priorities: preservation first, then yield. Work is done with compatible materials and techniques — lime where lime belongs, wood treated by someone who knows how — and, where constraints exist, within the required authorisations. That is why our network for these houses is made of restorers and craftsmen, not generic crews.
Hospitality changes too: smaller, more attentive groups, a check-in that is a guided tour of the house — what may be touched, what is to be admired, how a two-hundred-year-old window works. Written rules protect the house without spoiling the stay: people who choose a historic home do so precisely for its history, and almost always respect it gladly.

Frequently asked questions
My villa is under heritage protection: can I still rent it out?
In most cases yes: the protection concerns the asset’s preservation, not its use as a holiday home. What changes is how it is managed — authorised works, compatible materials, maintenance entrusted to people who know historic buildings. For the specifics of your constraint, the initial assessment includes a review with your own technical advisors.
How do you protect furnishings and artworks during rentals?
With an initial photographic inventory, written house rules delivered before arrival, a check-in that presents the house room by room, and checks at every changeover. What is too delicate to stay accessible is stored or roped off: deciding that together is part of the management set-up.
Are the guests of a historic home different?
Yes — and it is an advantage: longer stays, more mature groups, genuine interest in the house’s history. The listing should be written to attract exactly that audience — presenting the home as it is, rules included — rather than chasing the maximum number of enquiries.
