Thanks to Carla Caselli and the Great Estate team, Paola and Stefano sold Podere Todino. In their video testimonial, they speak of trust, professionalism, and the true value of a historic home.
A NEW BEGINNING AMONG THE UMBRIAN HILLS
After many years spent working for multinational companies and travelling between cities and cultures, Paola and Stefano, originally from Turin, decided it was time for a change. They were searching for an authentic place where they could settle, live, and welcome guests from all over the world.
That is how they discovered Podere Todino, a splendid period residence just a few steps from Todi, overlooking one of the most evocative landscapes in Umbria. Once the summer residence of the Bishops of Todi, the property is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, and preserves an ancient charm made of elegance and spirituality. After purchasing it, Paola and Stefano transformed Podere Todino into a refined hospitality business, where they lived and worked for more than eighteen years.
MEETING CARLA CASELLI
A few years later, while searching for new properties for the network, Carla Caselli, Italian Property Consultant and manager of the Great Estate office in Spoleto, met Paola and Stefano. Although, at that time, the couple had no intention of selling Podere Todino, that encounter marked the beginning of a genuine relationship of trust and respect, one that grew over time and solidified through more than a decade of collaboration.
A CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE
Initially, Paola and Stefano imagined selling Podere Todino as a hospitality business. But thanks to Carla’s suggestions and experience, they realised that the property could also be highly appreciated as a private residence. A shift in perspective that made all the difference.
With competence and sensitivity, Carla guided them step by step, offering constant support—not only professional and organisational, but human as well. Alongside her, Pier Domenico Gervasi, technical partner of the Spoleto office, oversaw every practical aspect with precision, ensuring a smooth and serene selling process.
BRINGING OUT THE POTENTIAL OF A UNIQUE PLACE
When it was time to present Podere Todino to potential buyers, Carla and Roberto Biggera, International Property Consultant representing the purchasing side, were able to communicate the property’s true value: its ability to transition effortlessly from a hospitality business to an elegant private home, ready to host a new life story in Umbria.
Their synergy and the trust built over time made this sale a perfect example of what Great Estate stands for: professionalism, attentive listening, and the ability to reveal the authentic soul of each property.
For Paola and Stefano, the sale of Podere Todino marked the end of one chapter, but also the beginning of another—filled with new perspectives and relationships born from mutual trust. Here is their video testimonial:
