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.

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.

How It Works

How Pinelli fractional ownership works.

1

Choose your property

Explore available shares in Pinelli's restored villas and heritage residences across Campania and Southern Italy.

2

Own a share

Purchase a fractional ownership share that gives you defined annual use and a real stake in a specific property structure.

3

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.

4

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.

“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.
