FLIP · RENOVATE

Buy it. Then make it yours.

Furnishing a beautiful apartment, or gutting a villa and bringing it back to life — we follow you from day zero to the finished project, in partnership with the Metroarea architecture studio.

The partnership

We've got your back.

TriesteVillas handles prime property sales in Trieste; Metroarea is the studio of reference for the most exclusive projects. Approaching a second home in another country — another language, another bureaucracy — can be daunting. That is precisely why we exist.

Since 2020 we have entrusted our finest properties to Metroarea, guiding buyers from purchase through renovation to the keys in hand.

How it works

From day zero to the keys.

One team, one thread. Whether you're around the corner or across the Alps, every stage is shared with you — clearly, and at your pace.

Idea
We listen to how you want to live the space and frame what's possible — and what's worth it.
Budget
An honest figure before you commit. No surprises once the site is open.
Design
Architecture and interiors drawn around you, modelled in 3D so you see it before it's built.
Site
Permits, works and supervision handled for you — one point of contact from start to finish.
Handover
Finishes, habitability, cadastre. We close every detail and hand you the keys.

Far from Trieste? No problem. We work fully remote when you need it: calls, regular updates, video walk-throughs and immersive 3D tours — even mid-construction, so you can watch your home take shape from wherever you are.

Services

Turnkey, end to end.

We offer our clients turnkey management of the design and authorisation side, and support them through every phase of the process — from purchase to the end of the building site.

Tell us what you're dreaming of.

A house you've seen with us, or any other property entirely — tell us the kind of help you need. Email and phone, a couple of lines, and we'll take it from there.

After the works

You're not on your own once it's done.

Tax code, accountant, gardener, insurance, a caretaking plan for the months you're away — owning a home here has a chapter of its own, and we cover it end to end.
