Alunno Immobiliare - Cortona Real Estate

From the first time we met Giovanni, he listened closely to our needs, and within 24 hours, showed us the exact property we were looking for. He helped us firsthand with the initial steps to facilitate a smooth closing and has continued to offer assistance even after the sale is complete, essentially making us feel like family. He is attentive, kind, and committed to ensuring his clients are satisfied with their property purchase experience. If you are interested in buying a home at a fair price in Cortona, or its surrounding areas, we highly recommend meeting with Giovanni at Alunno Immobiliare. He knows the real estate market well and will show you properties that check the boxes most important to you.

I have just returned to the United States after the final contract signing on a new (very old) house in Cortona. I have had the pleasure of working with Giovanni throughout the entire process from the initial searching phase to the contract signing with the notary. He was there for me every step of the way, always being on time and doing what he said he is going to do. Buying a home in Italy is much different than in the United States and he was very helpful in terms of explaining the process every step of the way. Although his English is very good, he did have access to an interpreter as needed. He is well connected and well respected within the local Cortona which is very valuable in terms of dealing with the banks, insurance companies, and the locals. I highly recommend his agency for any size real estate transaction large or small. His professionalism and knowledge of the industry in invaluable to you when making such a large investment!

I have recently bought a house in Cortona with Alunno Immobiliare - Cortona Real Estate, run by Giovanni. The agency is extremely well established in Cortona and has vast experience in the area. My experience has been excellent. Giovanni is super efficient, punctual and precise and most importantly, genuinely friendly and polite. He agency has the best properties for sale in Cortona and the surrounding area at a fair price in a very competitive market. He stuck to the criteria I gave him and only showed me properties of interest, which saved a lot of time. He helped with all the beaurocracy involved in the purchase, obtaining residence, setting up utilities etc. Furthermore, his father Paolo knows all the right people if the place you are interested in needs renovations - a great advantage here. I have experience in buying property in Italy and can highly recommend Alunno Immobiliare...

We contacted Giovanni at the end of July to sell our house. From the start of the process, it was clear that Giovanni understood the business, was well connected and had a positive manner. Giovanni had considerable energy and made you feel that he was 100% dedicated to providing you a personal service. He was very thoughtful about how he showed potential purchasers our property and always gave feedback after each viewing. Toward the end of the process it was clear that Giovanni offered much more than just a basic service. He introduced us to a Geometra to help us with the house sale technical documents, he helped us with the local Comune with a number of processes and made sure that the house sale documentation was correct before the signing of the house deed. Giovanni went out of his way to make sure we were at ease with the process and also came to the signing session in Rome with us. Giovanni is highly professional, a very nice person and is highly recommended.

It's true to say that buying our latest house in Tuscany was the easiest. Giovanni was very courteous and attentive to our specifications. After a gentle stroll through the town looking at four properties fitting our criteria, we found the dream home. What made it so extraordinary was that from seeing it to completing the contract took just days. Giovanni organised everything - without issues. But importantly, he continued ( continues), to help us settle in cortona , cutting through the usual bureaucracy allowing us to get on with the important things: enjoying life in Cortona

Having bought and sold multiple properties in Italy over the past 20 years, we know that finding a real estate agent who goes above and beyond their role is a rare thing. Giovanni, on numerous occasions, has done just that. Since Cortona is a small town, it is important to find someone who represents you who has a professional and positive reputation in the community. Giovanni knows everyone in and around Cortona, and has built strong relationships so that he is a great resource to help all his customers. We are confident that if ever we need professional advice, we can always call upon Giovanni to help. We strongly recommend him for all your property inquiries and needs.

We are a Greek/Italian-German couple. We have always dreamed of a house in Umbria in the historic center of Perugia. We turned to Giovanni to ask for advice on buying a house that we had found and liked very much. It was a fantastic idea. Giovanni came to see the house, evaluated the property, spoke to the real estate agent, gave us all the necessary advice regarding the price and the renovation work to be done. I would recommend it to anyone considering a real estate purchase, even just for advice.

We are delighted to recommend Giovanni Alunno as a real estate agent to help you find your dream home in Cortona. He went beyond what anyone could expect by helping with everything needed to purchase and set up our new apartment. He listened to our needs and found exactly the right place for us. He was such a great help with ensuring that language was not and issue and helped us personally with all the steps involved in purchasing a property. He really does care about ensuring that you are happy.

In the autumn of 2021 we have accidentally glanced at a photo of a nice villa in the window of Alunno Immobiliare. We called the phone number of the agency and after a few rings Giovanni responded. That specific villa was pre agreed by another buyer already, but Giovanni offered to meet and help us the next day. After a few visits he quickly understood what we were looking for and by the May of 2022 we found and contracted a beautiful villa near Cortona. Since the first appointment we gradually became good friends. Today I can honestly say that beside the nice villa the real value I found is the friendship with Giovanni.

Searching for an apartment in Cortona, I was referred to Giovanni by an informed local professional. He carefully considered our needs and found us a perfect place that we subsequently purchased. I found him to be very bright, knowledgeable, sincere, loyal, trustworthy, helpful and friendly. Long after the transaction, he has been assisting me on a multitude of subjects even unrelated to real estate. I highly recommend him.

In 2007 I purchased my beloved home in Cortona from Paolo, a sanctuary from the NY life. It was then an incredible experience and now with an inability to travel with Covid I have reached back out to Paolo who has introduced me to Giovanni, his son. I cannot find enough words to express how grateful I am having the peace of mind to know my home is in the best of hands. It was brought to my attention that the shutters, and doors were in desperate need of refurbishing, and even a window was broken! In a matter of a couple of days Giovanni had organized a fantastic carpenter who did all the repairs and even recommended different stain colors which look absolutely amazing. Giovanni and I have laughed over the fact that when I return I may not recognize it! Giovanni is peace of mind, he is dedicated and responsible. Truly I can now have a sense of pride all the way from NY knowing that my home is as beautiful as the rest in the slice of heaven known as Cortona and sleep at night knowing Giovanni is on the job!

When we engaged Giovanni to help us find our dream home that was just the beginning. He has helped us with every possible thing imaginable. His services cover it all and I just can’t say enough about how fantastic he has been, including looking out for our interests at every turn!

Giovanni and Margherita have been the most amazing agents for us while buying our house in lovely Cortona. Nothing is too much trouble for them, Giovanni even met our pool architect on site on the day of epiphany! They are amazingly responsive, professional and I would recommend them with no hesitation. Even after we bought the house they are there for us to help with all our post sale questions which really is above and beyond! Even in this time of Covid they have remotely guided us brilliantly through the process

Thank you Giovanni for making our house buying experience in Cortona so enjoyable and an easy process. Giovanni was so knowledgeable in every aspect for foreign buyers.

Giovanni is not only a friend! Him and his family agency are the best agency in Tuscany.... I say this with confidence because of my personal experience working with him to find me a store for my clothing brand..... he is great, professional. He works very hard always available for his clients day or night. He understands how the system works to rent or purchase properties here in Italy. He knows how to move within the system to secure the best rentals and property purchases not only for Europeans. But also for people who live internationally like myself who want to live in the Tuscany and Umbria area... I give him five stars.... anyone who is interested in moving to the Tuscany and Umbria area. Contact his agency and he will work his hardest to make sure your dreams moving to Italy come true.

I got to know Giovani 2 years ago when visiting Cortona as a tourist and researching possibility of having a future apartment in that beautiful place. He helped us all along to achieve our goal. During the interaction proved himself to be reliable, honest and assisting us in every step of the way.

Giovanni and Alunno Immobiliare has found me my dream house. He was extremely helpful, professional. I highly recommend finding your house through Giovanni. There is no one better in Tuscany.
