Your family's house in Sicily, looked after while you're far away.

We visit, check and care for inherited homes, land and farmhouses across the province of Ragusa. After every visit you get dated photos and a short video, and you always have one local person to call.

How it works

  1. A first call

    Tell us about the house, who owns it and what worries you. The call is free and there's no commitment.

  2. Keys and authorisation

    We sign a service contract and a written authorisation so we can deal with utilities and the town hall for you. The keys reach us through a relative, a neighbour or a courier.

  3. Regular visits

    We open the house, air the rooms, check roof, walls, damp, water and power, and collect the mail. Every visit ends with a report in your language.

  4. You decide what's next

    Keep it, rent it or sell it. When you're ready, our partner surveyor and estate agency handle the paperwork.

Not just houses

Apartments, country land, old farmhouses: if it's yours and it's in the province of Ragusa, we look after it. Gardening, cleaning and anything else the property needs.

Houses and apartments

Regular visits, airing, checks on roof, damp, water and power, mail and utility bills.

Land and countryside

Mowing and weed clearing, fire-break cleaning required by the town hall, checks on fences, boundaries and dry-stone walls.

Farmhouses and rural buildings

Casolari, masserie and old stone buildings: we secure them, keep them clean and report on their condition.

Gardening

Pruning olive, carob and citrus trees, hedges, flower beds, watering and irrigation checks.

Cleaning

Deep cleaning, cleaning before you arrive or after building work, clearing out rooms and cellars.

Everything else

Small repairs, painting, locksmith, plumber, electrician: anything to do with caring for the property, through trusted local tradespeople.

New service

Courtesy visits to elderly parents

Does your father or mother live alone in the province of Ragusa while you're far away? We drop by as often as you like, check that everything at home is in order and send you a short message with photos after every visit.

Ask us about it
  • A chat and a check that they're well and have what they need
  • Groceries, pharmacy, post office and small errands
  • A look around the house: leaks, boiler, lights, fridge, safety
  • A report after every visit, and a call straight away if something is wrong

This is not a medical or personal care service: for that there are doctors, carers and social services. We are the eyes and hands of children who live far away.

What you receive after each visit

A clear report with photos, a video walk-through and anything that needs your decision. Here's an example.

Questions

Do I need to come to Sicily to start?

No. The contract and authorisation can be signed remotely. If a notarised power of attorney is needed, you can sign it at the Italian consulate where you live.

How do I pay from abroad?

By international bank transfer, monthly or yearly. Every bill we pay for you is listed in the report with its receipt.

What happens if something breaks?

We call you, send photos and a quote, and go ahead only with your approval. In an emergency, like a burst pipe, we act first to limit the damage and tell you right away.

The house belongs to several heirs. Can you still help?

Yes. We can send the reports to every heir, and our surveyor can explain the steps needed to settle the inheritance.

Which towns do you cover?

All twelve towns in the province of Ragusa: Acate, Chiaramonte Gulfi, Comiso, Giarratana, Ispica, Modica, Monterosso Almo, Pozzallo, Ragusa, Santa Croce Camerina, Scicli and Vittoria.

Do you only look after houses?

No. We also look after agricultural land, olive groves, farmhouses, rural buildings and gardens: mowing, pruning, fire-break cleaning, general cleaning and small maintenance.
