Professional Relocation Services


Corporations choosing with our relocation service in Italy typically look for a long-term relationship with a reliable relocation partner which can support their Assignees before their arrival, during the whole period of stay, until their departure, by taking care of all the aspects connected with an international, or national, transfer. We provide a full range of destination services to help corporate Employees locate the best schools for their children, find the best areas to live in, rent the right property, settle into their new locations, and eventually move out/back at the end of their assignments, always relying on knowledgeable, effective support.


Orientation Tours

Pre arrival tour-look & see trip

If you are not familiar with a country, it is difficult to figure out where you should look… Where are the best areas? What is the housing market like and how expensive is it? Which services and facilities are available in the different locations? And so on.

This orientation programme, to be delivered before or in conjunction with actual home finding, is aimed at:
• Informing about different residential areas and identifying the most suitable ones;
• Understanding the local housing rental market;
• Understanding general living conditions at destination (driving, public transportation, health care, shopping etc.);
• Choosing the best education options, when needed;
• Assessing adequate and realistic housing requirements for the following “home search” programme.

A one or more day programme is typically focused on:
• Assessing housing and living needs;
• Viewing a few “sample” properties;
• Visiting different neighbourhoods to highlight the pros and cons of each area (cost of living, commuting from/to school and/or from/to work, available facilities etc.).

Post arrival tour

The Post-Arrival Orientation Programme consists in following the move into the new property, assisting Relocatees in becoming familiar with their new home and neighbourhood, and helping them during the settling-in period.

The topics covered include the following:
• Property wear & tear;
• Health care;
• Banking;
• Shopping, sports and other facilities;
• Public transportation;
• International (women’s) clubs;
• Do’s and don’ts and others living-in aspects of interest.


Children’s Education

International and Italian system

The success of the whole family’s move s greatly connected with children’s ability to adjust themselves and settle happily into their new environment. This programme enables parents to visit the most suitable schools and choose the most appropriate one.

Our School Programme is often associated with the Pre-Arrival/Look&See Trip. It allows parents not only to find out the different education options but also to understand about each location around the school: neighbourhoods, housing options, services and facilities, commuting etc.

We strongly believe in the importance for parents to make the right education choice, being well aware of the impact that such choice will have on their daily lives.

Our comprehensive support includes the following:
• Guidance on the international, or Italian schooling options;
• Accompanied visits to the selected schools;
• Accompanied tour of the surrounding areas and visits to a few “sample” properties (see also Pre-Arrival Tour/Look&See Trip).
