Everything in here comes from the same place: my own mistakes, my awkward questions, and the hundreds of conversations I’ve had with people standing exactly where you are now. No fluff. Just honest help to make your journey feel calmer, clearer and a lot more like you.
Work out exactly what you want before anyone sells you anything all for the price of a coffee and cake (Italian prices, of course!).
Underneath the beautiful photos and the romance of Italy, most of us haven’t answered the honest questions yet. These tools are for doing exactly that, quietly, in your own time, before you spend a penny on flights or viewings.
The Italy Blueprint Quiz What do you actually want? Let’s find out, honestly.
Quiet village or lively town? Properly remote or a short walk to a bar? A project to pour yourself into or a house that’s ready on day one? This quiz asks the questions many of us skip, and asks you to answer them truthfully.
At the end you’ll hold your own blueprint: a clear, personal picture of what you want and what you need. Hand it to an agent, or hold it up against every listing you scroll past. It’s the easiest way I know to stop being swept along by pretty photos and start looking at the right things.
Best for: anyone at the very start, anyone who feels a bit lost in the search, or couples that wonder if you are on the same page.
I am in your corner.
Sometimes the most useful thing isn’t a guide, it’s a conversation. Book a video call, tell me your plans, and we’ll sanity check where you are together. We’ll go through the questions that keep going round in your head, make sure you’re on track, and work out your next step.
We book an hour, but the calls usually run longer, and I only charge for the call, not the time. You choose a day and time that suits you.

The honest guide to buying a house in Italy: the people, the pressure and the questions to ask.
This FULL guide includes all three sections: Your Search - Making Offers & Buying - The Early Days Of Ownership.
Buying a house in Italy isn’t really about the house. It’s about the life you picture when your shoulders drop and you imagine that first morning there. This guide is for that moment, and for everything that comes after it.
I wrote it because the paperwork is only half the story. The other half is the people you’ll meet, what they want from you, the excitement that makes you rush, and the doubts that creep in late at night. It’s the guide I wish someone had handed me.
Read it and you’ll feel steadier. You’ll know what to ask, who to trust, when to slow down, and how to hold on to your own dream while everyone else is busy selling you theirs.
