Testimonials

My husband and my children are from Novosibirsk. In search of warmth, they thought about buying a house in hot countries. I was for Spain, my husband insisted on Italy. In order not to argue, we decided to look into the options both there and there. The first item was Spain, we had already bought the tickets. But a call changed everything: “Friends are flying to Italy, ready to take you with them, to show their home and their place. Go ... "

We bought our house a little over a year ago. During this time, we have been here three times: in April, June and September, each time for a month ...  

Houses are bought in Calabria, or rather in Zambrone. Frankly, it's hard to call this place a city - it's quite a city. Very interesting and colorful, where everyone knows each other and greets each other when they meet. But this is generally a purely Italian theme, basically they live like this.

We are not lovers of apartments, we have a house in Novosibirsk. We definitely need the land - we can't live without it, and the kid is used to it and asks to play on the street, on his site.  

As a result, we now own a two-level house and the first floor is separated from the second. We hope that when the eldest son - and he's 20 - has a girlfriend, they'll live there. I think it will be convenient for them: there is a separate part with a mini-kitchen, a room and a shower. We can say a separate odnushka. On the second level there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is large - a guest room, with washing machine. Also on our floor we find a large kitchen-living room and a patio with access and sea view.

The total area of ​​the house is approximately 150 square meters. m, I will not say for sure. Because in the contract the Italians simply describe the house, indicating how many rooms it has. The "squares", like us, don't count.

The purchase cost 250 thousand euros, we were offered four options suited to our needs. There were cheaper options too, even with an on-site pool. But we chose a larger footage and a secluded area.

We didn't do large-scale repairs, we did something for ourselves. So, from the moment the deal was made (November 2018) until the first visit to our home (April 2019), the workers colored something, replaced some elements, changed the chandeliers and lamps.

I thank Progetto Casa Immobiliare (Dolce Calabria in Moscow), and in particular Antonino Staropoli. Very attentive and professional real estate agent. Documents are carefully checked, negotiations are conducted diplomatically. My interests, as a customer, have been respected at the highest level. Several transactions took place, all transactions were successful. All real estate matters, I resolve them only through Antonio. Thanks!

I don't want to write a bland and sugary review. We met the agency already on site in Briatico bypassing the local real estate market in Calabria and then in Tuscany in Forte dei Marmi. As a result, in 3 years I have bought several items through the agency. Satisfied with the collaboration. All transactions have been carefully prepared by the agency, from the serious to the meticulous work of the notaries. There are important exclusive points: the agency accompanies clients in all senses on completely different issues that arise suddenly after the acquisition of real estate. In fact, there is an international club of the agency's clients. For example: A Russian-speaking client had an acute attack on Saturday at her villa near Tropea, a 10-year-old girl who needs an otolaryngologist. He does not call the hospital, where you can waste a few hours on the boat (and so on until Monday), no, he calls Antonino, and makes arrangements with a private pediatrician, who will open a reception in his office for this on Saturday afternoon. Everything ended well ... And there were many of these episodes before my eyes.

Is there a bad thing? - Yes there is! The most active in the agency is Antonino Staropoli. What happens if something happens to him? - The question is rhetorical. The question isn't that other employees are misbehaving. No, all girls are very professional, at their best. The problem is that most customers want to deal only with Antonino and no one else ... Of course, this is not unexpected. In Calabria, before Antonino, I met other agents in Tropea. I looked at their facilities, talked, good managers. professional. But I decided to work on Antonino's objects and with him.

But it was all my rake. If you, in the best "Soviet" traditions, want to rake in the Italian real estate market, just to be happy that they haven't been stolen yet, then you can obviously knock on all the casa.it agencies. But there's a good chance you may need a psychotherapist later on. Well, if, nevertheless, you save on doctors, I advise you to immediately contact the agency's office on Prechistenskaya.

Above all, the coastal real estate market in Vibo Valentia is constantly growing ...      

17 years ago I fell ill with an incurable disease. It is called "love for Italy". In 2003 I came to Italy for the first time without knowing a single word of Italian. I spent 2 weeks in Rome, visiting Assisi, Perugia, Florence. She came back completely shocked. He started studying Italian, he read a lot about the history and culture of Italy.

Traveling is one of my main hobbies. But I realized that in any country in the world I miss Italy. Every year I studied a new part of it. The disease turned out to be contagious. I love Italy and my son. And a dream arose - to acquire a corner to spend as much time as possible in this country. In my travels, I started looking for options for buying real estate in Italy. My financial possibilities were quite limited and after a while I decided that my dream was not destined to come true. I have decided that I can only afford to buy accommodation in Georgia, which in my opinion is Eastern Italy. And when I've already begun to consider options, the case led me to Anna.

We met in February 2019 and in April I flew to Calabria towards my dream. The options have already been prepared for me. And literally on the fourth option, I stopped. It all happened in three days. We have concluded a preliminary contract with Antonio. The payment was made in stages. In September I flew to Tropea to conclude a definitive agreement. In the process of preparing for the conclusion of the contract, I was consulted by a lawyer provided by the firm. Within a clearly specified time frame, the transaction was certified by a notary. And here is my first evening in Briatico and the first night in my apartment

After the deal was closed, I was invited to a wonderful fish restaurant where we celebrated our deal

A few days later Antonio helped me to conclude contracts for the payment of utilities and electricity. And this is absolutely voluntary!

Unfortunately, the circumstances with the closure of the borders did not call me this spring to come to Briatico. I was worried about paying for the shared flat. And here I was also offered help! I am very satisfied with the purchase, we are waiting for the opening of the borders.

We started collaborating with Anna and Antonio's agency in 2013 and since then we have been collaborating constantly on various issues. The agency has a Russian-speaking lawyer, who helps and greatly simplifies communication on contractual matters. At the same time we also worked with another real estate agency in Calabria and we have something to deal with. The uniqueness of Anna and Antonio's agency is that Antonio himself comes from these places, he knows in depth all the processes and the local mentality.

Compared to other agencies, Antonio does not charge an additional fee for each service, the question you are facing and everything is already included in the commission. Also Antonio helped us a lot in the early years and is always available to this day, if something breaks in the house, you need help with the maintenance of the property, you need to rent a boat or choose a good restaurant. With Antonio you can be sure of the purity and transparency of the operation, since he works himself without intermediaries. Antonio often has exclusives for the sale of many objects and is the first to know them, you can be sure that he will show you absolutely the whole market.

Also, if suddenly in the future it becomes necessary to sell the item, Antonio will do it in a very short time, which is sometimes very critical. We strongly recommend that you entrust Antonio with the search for your future property in Italy. He is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with and we have experience buying real estate in 2 countries in Europe and Russia. 

We started collaborating with Anna and Antonio's agency in 2013 and have been in constant contact on various topics ever since. The agency has a very qualified attorney who helps a lot to progress smoothly on contractual matters. We have also previously partnered with another agency in Calabria and were able to compare the level of service, costs and attitude. The beauty of this agency is that Antonio is originally from Calabria and knows all the local specificities and culture inside and out. Compared to other agencies Antonio does not charge a commission for each possible service as it is already included in the agency commission. Apart from this Antonio has helped us a lot in the first years from the purchase of the house and is always available and reachable, in case something needs to be repaired or cleaned in the house. We are confident that we can ask any questions to Antonio and he will be able to support us, he is very reliable and transparent. Antonio works directly with real estate developers or homeowners without intermediaries, so you can be sure of the integrity of the deal. In addition, in many cases it has the exclusive rights to sell properties, so you will see everything the market has to offer. If you ever need to sell the house in the future, Antonio can do it promptly which is sometimes crucial. We strongly recommend that you entrust Antonio with your future property search in Italy. He is definitely the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in 3 countries where we searched for property. Antonio works directly with real estate developers or homeowners without intermediaries, so you can be sure of the integrity of the deal. In addition, in many cases it has the exclusive rights to sell properties, so you will see everything the market has to offer. If you ever need to sell the house in the future, Antonio can do it promptly which is sometimes crucial. We strongly recommend that you entrust Antonio with your future property search in Italy. He is definitely the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in 3 countries where we searched for property. Antonio works directly with real estate developers or homeowners without intermediaries, so you can be sure of the integrity of the deal. Furthermore, in many cases it has the exclusive rights to sell property, then you will see everything the market has to offer. If you ever need to sell the house in the future, Antonio can do it promptly which is sometimes crucial. We strongly recommend that you entrust Antonio with your future property search in Italy. He is definitely the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in 3 countries where we searched for property. If you ever need to sell the house in the future, Antonio can do it promptly which is sometimes crucial. We strongly recommend that you entrust Antonio with your future property search in Italy. He is definitely the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in 3 countries where we searched for property. If you ever need to sell the house in the future, Antonio can do it promptly which is sometimes crucial. We strongly recommend that you entrust Antonio with your future property search in Italy. He is definitely the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in 3 countries where we searched for property.

Our family is me, my husband and the children of Moscow! We have decided to buy a property by the sea! The only country considered was Italy !!! First we came to see places (not far from Rome). We decided that it was convenient to get there: a flight from Moscow to Rome, then from Rome there is an electric train, a train, so as not to be tied to the rental of a car!))) As we had planned they would go - also the our parents would rest !!! We talked to several real estate agents, examined many options and in the last two days we flew to Calabria, where we agreed a meeting with Anna and Antonio !!!

The guys showed us a huge number of options, showed unusually beautiful places and the sea and nature! Antonio told us with so much love of his Calabria that in the end we fell in love with these places and bought a huge house with a garden - lemons, oranges! Nearby there is a wonderful blue sea (within walking distance), the beaches are beautiful !!! Each year we travel to several small and large cities. and for six years we have not seen much, only in the plans! We have made a huge number of friends from different regions of Russia and America !!! Now we meet every year !!! In general, if you want to buy a house or an apartment in Italy, this is definitely Calabria!

If you want you to be satisfied with your purchase and have no problems during the registration process, then this is Anna and Antonio !!! The guys are just great !!! They value all their customers and always come to the rescue !!!

Caro Anechka, Antonio e la bellissima Eva! Vorrei ringraziarti moltissimo per tutto quello che hai fatto per la nostra famiglia! Siete persone meravigliose e gentili! Partner affidabili! È molto piacevole fare affari con te, aiutare i tuoi clienti in tutto, sorvegliarli e condurre la vita nella soleggiata Calabria! Molti dei tuoi "reparti" diventano tuoi amici! Un simile atteggiamento nei confronti delle persone è costoso! Ti bacio e ti abbraccio! Sono sicuro che con un tale approccio agli affari, gli affari prospereranno e il numero di amici crescerà ogni giorno! Buona fortuna e salute!

Long live "DOLCE CALABRIA"! - this is how I want to express my gratitude to this company! We met Antonino Stropoli over 10 years ago. In those early years my husband and I were just looking for properties in Calabria. Then we came for the first time to rest in this region of Italy and we fell in love with Calabria at first sight. The beauty of the Tyrrhenian coast left no doubts: this is where we would like to meet the autumn of our life! Ten years ago, Antonino, still a young man at the time, showed us various real estate objects and spoke enthusiastically about small villages with ancient history. We walked for a long time towards our dream and finally, 2 years ago, we realized it thanks to Antonino! 

With the help of Antonino Stropoli and his wife Anna, the buying and selling operation took place without difficulty and without bureaucracy. High professionalism, ability to work with customers, correct selection of partners distinguish this real estate agency.

We were pleasantly surprised and also amazed that the deal was completed in record time, considering it was a "secondary property"! Less than a month has passed from the moment of the real estate selection to the closing of the deal! We flew to Calabria for just 5 days in November to sign the contract and close the deal. Everything was organized and prepared exclusively: the signing of the contract with the seller in the presence of a notary, a translator and a Russian-speaking lawyer took a couple of hours and took place exactly at the agreed time and date. I would like to underline that the collaboration with Dolce Calabria continues even after the conclusion of the agreement, like all technical and organizational issues relating to bills, taxes, etc. led by 

Aside, I would like to thank Anna: she advised us to order furniture for the apartments and a master who can do cosmetic repairs for us. For the remaining 3 days, we ordered furniture and repairs, agreed on materials and terms. In April we arrived in a renovated and furnished apartment! Everything was ready to live, all that remained was to hang things in the cupboards and arrange the dishes! A new happy phase of life has begun in a truly heavenly place - in Briatica in Calabria, on the legendary coast of Ulysses!  

With Antonino, Anna, Antonia we have become good friends, we know that they will always answer any of our questions and requests and will support us.  

We hope that this Agency will bring new happy owners of properties in Calabria.

We wish health, prosperity, success and happiness to our new friends and all Dolce Calabria employees! 

Elena and Vladimir.

I would like to share my experience of working with Italian real estate agents - Anna and Antonio Storopoli. Our conversation started with a selection of properties in Calabria. The gentlemen spared no time and effort, showing not only real estate objects but also the delights of this region. As a result, we have chosen a property that meets all our needs. But the help wasn't over. They helped us organize the purchased accommodation and provide impeccable legal assistance. Although it has been a long time since the purchase, Anya and Antony continue to help in case of difficulty. We express our gratitude to them !!!
