Looking for info on property management fees. We are looking into purchasing a home in Piedmont and trying to do all of our research on costs associated with renting it out as a holiday home. Can anyone share what the typical fees are for a property manager handle guests, cleaning and maintenance? Also curious about others' experiences with property managers. Thanks!

Hi broo73,We have just puchased in Northern Tuscany and went through a similar excercise, although we are not renting out our property.We found a Property Manager in Lucca. They are charging us once off fees to set up the property- utilities, assist with tradesmen etc. The fees seem reasonable. They will also charge EUR77 per month plus VAT to manage the property. This is only basic services such as check on the property, pay bills, hold the key etc. Any cleaning is charged at an hourly rate.From my experience it was actually quite difficult to find a Property Manager that was interested in managing our property. You may have better luck because you will rent the property and thererfore your management fees will be higher.Hope this helps.
