Why Pinelli
Italy Has Always Called to You.
Now You Can Actually Answer.
Millions of Americans dream of owning a vacation home in Italy. Most never act on it — not because they can't afford it, but because full overseas ownership feels complicated, risky, and lonely. Pinelli changes that.
6–8
weeks of personal use per year, per share
True Legal Co-Ownership
You hold a deeded share of the property — not a membership, not a points system. Your name is on the title. Your ownership is protected under Italian property law, with a structure designed to be accessible for non-EU buyers.
Completely Hands-Off Management
Pinelli handles everything: maintenance, cleaning, local taxes, insurance, utilities, and seasonal upkeep. You arrive to a pristine home. You leave without a single worry.
Flexible, Personalized Scheduling
Book your weeks through the MyPinelli app — up to 6–8 weeks per year per share. Peak summer weeks, shoulder season, or a quiet winter escape. Your vacation home, your schedule.
A Community of Like-Minded Owners
Your co-owners are carefully vetted, like-minded individuals who share your values and your love of Italy. Many become lifelong friends. This is ownership with community built in.

Why American Buyers Are Choosing Pinelli
Italy, without the usual overseas
ownership headaches.
Many Americans dream of owning a home in Italy, but full ownership abroad can bring complex maintenance, local regulations, vacant-property concerns, language barriers, and unexpected costs. Pinelli gives you the emotional reward of ownership with a professional local team caring for the property year-round.
A real home in Italy
Enjoy a genuine ownership experience in a restored Italian property — not just a hotel stay or rental.
Professionally managed
Cleaning, maintenance, gardening, pool care, utilities, local taxes, housekeeping, and arrival preparation are handled by the Pinelli house team.
Shared costs
Running costs are shared among co-owners, reducing the burden of owning and maintaining a full overseas property alone.
Ready when you arrive
Arrive to a home that is clean, checked, prepared, and ready for your stay.
Speak with our USA buyer team — no obligation, no pressure.
The Pinelli Difference
A smarter way to own in Southern Italy.
Pinelli Private Residences restores historic and characterful homes in Campania and transforms them into sustainable luxury residences for a small group of like-minded co-owners.
Restored Italian character
From historic palazzi to renovated stone farmhouses and coastal villas, each property is chosen for beauty, location, heritage, and atmosphere.
Sustainable luxury
Pinelli focuses on restoring existing buildings, supporting local artisans, using regional suppliers, and creating homes that contribute to the local community.
Local house team
The team on the ground prepares each home, manages maintenance, supports arrivals, recommends local experiences, and helps owners feel at home from the moment they land.
"We don't build new developments. We find homes with soul, restore them with care, and share them with people who love Italy the way we do."
— Nigel Pinelli, Founder
How It Works
How Pinelli fractional ownership works.
Choose your property
Explore available shares in Pinelli's restored villas and heritage residences across Campania and Southern Italy.
Own a share
Purchase a fractional ownership share that gives you defined annual use and a real stake in a specific property structure.
Enjoy your time in Italy
Use your allocated time to live locally, host family, explore the coast, enjoy restaurants, visit historic sites, and return to a home that feels familiar.
Let Pinelli handle the rest
The house team manages preparation, maintenance, local suppliers, utilities, taxes, cleaning, linens, pool care, and property support.
Exact ownership structure, annual use, running costs, resale process, and legal documentation vary by property and share size. Buyers should obtain independent legal and tax advice before purchase.

What US Owners Say
American owners already understand the appeal.
Real words from real American owners — shared with their permission.
“Full property management is a key factor in our enjoyment”
We wouldn't purchase a home of this scale in Italy on our own, as we don't use it enough to justify the cost and complexities of owning abroad. Co-ownership gives us the benefits we want while sharing costs with others who value the property as much as we do. The house is always ready when we arrive — fridge stocked, transport arranged, and everything taken care of.

“I never felt unsafe”
I scheduled a discovery visit. I was treated like a queen. Being by myself is always a little scary, but I never felt for one second unsafe.
Christine
Florida
“Headache-free and beautiful”
Outright ownership requires all the maintenance, cleaning, and general upkeep. Casa Tramonto gives us a villa to live in for three months out of the year. It is headache-free and beautiful from the day we arrive until the day we return to San Diego.

“Co-ownership addressed the complexity”
Co-ownership addressed international real estate law and the complexities of managing a property overseas.

Why Campania
Southern Italy,
beautifully connected.
Campania offers the Italy many Americans are searching for: coastal beauty, ancient history, authentic food, warm villages, Mediterranean climate, and easier access than many rural Italian destinations. Agropoli is connected by rail to Naples, Rome, Florence, Milan, and beyond, making the region practical for repeat visits as well as memorable vacations.
Coast & sea
Cilento coastline, beaches, boat trips, terraces, sunsets, and Mediterranean views.
Food & wine
Buffalo mozzarella, fresh seafood, local wines, olive oil, village restaurants, and the birthplace of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
History & culture
Paestum, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Velia, Castellabate, medieval villages, Greek temples, and Roman heritage.
Practical access
Rail connections to Naples, Rome, Florence, Milan, and other Italian hubs.
