Florentine palazzi, Portofino harbour villas, Chianti estates. Italian households have a warmth to them, but the service standards are no less exacting. Private household staff who speak Italian, even basically, have a real edge.
Italy's UHNW property market spans Tuscan wine estates, Umbrian country houses, Lake Como villas, and the coastal glamour of Portofino and the Amalfi Coast. Families here — both Italian and international — require staff who can manage historic properties, entertain with Italian flair, and coordinate with local suppliers and artisans.
Irving Scott places private chefs, housekeepers, estate managers, and butlers across Italy. Italian language skills are a significant advantage, and many positions combine seasonal villa management with travel to the family's primary residence in London, Geneva, or New York.
We've placed chef-housekeepers and nanny teams for families in Chianti and Portofino. Basic Italian goes a long way — even a few phrases make daily life significantly easier.
