“A Gamble with Big Rewards”

In 2018, we were lucky enough to take a big risk buying a house in the most wonderful of places- Lago di Iseo. We rolled the dice, so to speak when we chose a property that required a full renovation. Despite feeling somewhat nervous, we moved forward after seeing the magnificent numerous homes that Pier, Madeleine, and Sara already completed around the lake.  From the beginning, the team was very professional and exceptionally organized in the project presentation.

What unfolded next fully exceeded my expectations.  Careful planning and meticulous execution of the proposal occurred at all stages, but even more important was the consistent communication along the way and the team’s concern about the quality of the work and the ultimate furnishings.

The end result was a home more stunning than we ever imagined.  We are so eternally grateful to the team. So much so that we plan to work on another exciting new project with them
