“We believe real estate and lifestyle go hand in hand. Real estate is more than property—it’s the setting where the stories of our lives unfold.”

Relocating or acquiring property abroad is a pursuit of both passion and precision, yet it is often fraught with complexity. Unfamiliar regulations and cultural nuances can lead to costly mistakes, while the intricacies of establishing a new life—from navigating administrative hurdles to sourcing specialized local provisions—can prove unnecessarily exhaustive.

We act as your trusted advisory proxy and strategic navigator, mitigating risk through our vetted network of independent experts while curating the lifestyle details that cultivate an immediate, authentic sense of belonging. By overseeing every nuance of your transition, we ensure your journey into the Italian art of living is as secure and seamless as it is inspiring.

Our Core Values

A Letter from the Founder

A grand yellow house with a red wooden door, surrounded by tall green bushes, with a fountain in the front yard, and mountains in the background.

My career path began as an entrepreneur in Milan, eventually leading me to the high-stakes arenas of Los Angeles and New York City. Serving as a trusted, right-hand proxy to prominent figures across finance and the film industry, I managed complex demands and massive global undertakings while interfacing directly with financiers, dignitaries, executive boards, and celebrity talent. Across three decades, every operation demanded an uncompromising standard of excellence, rigorous due diligence, and unwavering discretion.

The spaces we inhabit—and how we inhabit them—profoundly influence how we think, create, and live. The right space, the right environment adds texture to our life story, and should be one of inspiration.

This journey taught me that elite advocacy requires more than sharp business acumen; it demands an intuitive understanding of how people actually live. Within these high-velocity worlds, I recognized that a harmonious environment is not a luxury—it is an essential sanctuary of restoration and operational continuity, grounding lives that are otherwise fast-paced and highly visible.

Over the years, this international exposure to heritage design, fine architecture, and culture has allowed me to bring a truly multi-disciplinary perspective to Maison Deshotel. Whether identifying a strategic property investment or orchestrating a curated lifestyle landscape, my priority remains safeguarding your interests while cultivating the elegant spaces where your story gains its richest texture.

Welcome to Italy. I look forward to navigating your transition and helping you shape your unique chapter amidst its timeless beauty.
