Salento With Love Real Estate Omdömen 

When we came across an online listing for a house that seemed like a great opportunity, we knew we immediately needed an agent to handle the negotiations and look after our interests and the security of the entire transaction. A friend recommended Annamaria Mengoli—with whom he had just completed a deal—saying: "AnnaMaria talked me out of a few ideas, so if she says a listing is worth considering, then it really is." As it turned out, Anna Maria was already familiar with the property; she confirmed it was an excellent choice and promptly arranged a viewing. Two days later, I received over a dozen detailed videos from the property inspection. Since the house required some renovation, AnnaMaria got involved her brother Davide Mengoli—founder of SWL—to provide his professional assessment and advice regarding the planned work. That was also when we discovered the fantastic YouTube channel "Salento with Love," where Davide shares his passion and invaluable experience. The entire home-buying process turned out to be a truly pleasant experience for us. Moreover, our collaboration with the wonderful and highly professional SWL team (Andrea, Silvia, Sara) didn't end there as they offer a wide range of services, from property management to renovations—including handling all the associated paper work. We once thought that renovating a house on the other side of Europe would be a nightmare, but now we know that with the support of SWL, it can actually be quite exciting! ;)

I am Very Happy to have Recently concluded the sale of my flat in Salento. Buying & selling a property in Italy can sometimes be a complicated business. I would say using a professional & competent agency is a must (in order to avoid any ' pitfalls'.) The agency " Salento with love " was recommended to me by a friend who'd sold through them and had only good things to say about their experience.
Realtor Anna Maria Mengoli & sales executive co-ordinator Silvia Rapana proved to be essential. Offering reassurance,support and guidance when needed most. I am 'Super' satisfied.

What a blessing to find SWL and Davide, Annamaria, Sara, etc… !! We remote purchased our property, are renovating our property, maintain our property, and plan to rent our property, when we are not using it, all with Davide and the amazing companies he has built. It was all very easy on us - I’m sure not easy for them. Doing all this from the US is very daunting and without SWL this dream would not be possible. The thing that amazes me most about this group of kind and loving people is their competency and communication skills. It doesn’t matter when or how I contact them, I get a response immediately!! They keep in close touch updating me consistently with videos and pictures. In this day and age that just doesn’t happen with anything. It’s so comforting to know my property is in such good hands, along with my hopes, dreams, and retirement plans!! Spending the spring and fall in our home in Nardo- YES, PLEASE!!! Thank you SWL 🇮🇹☕️🍝🍷🙌🙏

Our Italian adventure began with watching Davide’s videos from our home in Maine in 2023. We were captivated by the prospect of moving to Italy with a team specificially designed to make the move easy! His YouTube videos led to a video conference and then to video tours of rental properties. We selected a property to rent and arrived and found the house all set up for us - fully furnished and with signature Italian snacks in the fridge for us! A few months into renting and we were ready to buy and again, SWL found us a house which met our requirements. The renovations were carried out by their team of professionals and to make a too-long story shorter - we will celebrate our second anniversary in Salento later this month. Our move here with SWL was the right decision and we would not change a thing! Thank you Davide, Anna Maria and team! We love you all!

The Salento With Love team are trusted partners. They bring their vast experience and expertise to provide guidance throughout the process and deliver a positive and seamless experience.

Anna Maria held our hands the whole way to owning our dream home in Salento. Leveraging a great team of lawyers etc, the process was clear and concise. Remote purchasing would have been a nightmare without them.

We’ve been working with the SWL team now for many years, Davide and team helped us find our dream home in Galatina and have been a guiding support ever since. Helping with planning permissions with the commune, getting the water and gas connected (who knew what a challenge that is!), knocking down walls, rebuilding walls, developing a layout for our home that serve us for years to come and of course fitting an ensuite bathroom into an old oven!

The team are amazing with communication and whilst we are still in the building process, when ever we have a query or question the team are always happy to help.

Our biggest take away- don’t buy a property and think you can just do it all yourself, you can’t! Well maybe you can, but why would you when there are a dedicated team at Salento with Love that can cut thru the drama like a knife thru butter.

10/10 and genuinely lovely team

After we bought our beautiful apartment in Lecce we realized we were going to need help, so we turned to Salento With Love. We had seen a few of Davide's videos on YouTube so I called him, and after a coffee and lengthy conversation in his office in Galatone, we agreed to meet again at the apartment and go over what needed to be done. We had water supply issues, drainage issues, and some issues with our neighbor, who would require some delicate handling if we were to do anything to improve the property. Davide introduced me to a reliable lawyer to help smooth our path. Then, together, we devised a plan for bringing the apartment back to its former glory.
The legal work and subsequent plumbing work were indeed more complex than we could have handled on our own. The primary reason is communication. Davide and his team all studied in the UK and are fluent--not merely conversationally, but technically, which is critical when bridging the gap between trade specialists and foreign clients. Then there is the expertise Davide brings to the table. He know real estate, as well as architecture. He is a man of expansive knowledge and good taste. And of course there is the immense passion and tirelessness he brings to his work. Our place is still being worked on as I write this, with the end in site. We will continue to rely on Salento with Love to manage our bills and keep an eye on things for us while we are away. Overseas property ownership need not be so daunting or risk-filled.

Cordiali saluti!

Salento with Love is a full service agency that specialises in foreigners purchasing property in Southern Puglia, Italy.

We first went to them in 2022 when we were starting to think about purchasing a home and wanted to rent for an extended period 1st to see how we liked living in the area before starting to look to purchase. Salento ticked all our boxes for a location and having an agency like SWL sealed the deal for us as we had no idea how we could do this on our own!

While we were renting, SWL found the perfect property for us, and represented us after we had to return home. After the sale, they managed the renovations and provided property management support giving us piece of mind while we are away. They also offer a rental service, should we want to go that route one day.

We don't think our Italian dream would have come true without SWL, or at least not as smoothly!

Highly recommend SWL if you are looking for a property in Southern Puglia, and don't recommend attempting to do it alone.

Salento with Love has been instrumental in converting our dream into a reality. We first engaged SWL in 2023 to assist us in remotely finding and purchasing a home in the Salento. Their counsel helped us focus our attention and efforts in the right direction. Once under contract, they guided us through the foreign purchase process — again, all remotely.

Once purchased, we never could have confidently renovated the property from the US. SWL was able to put together a plan and a team to implement the plan despite some significant hiccups along the way. All the while, we had full confidence in SWL’s ability to pull it off. The result is a home that exceeds our expectations.

This is all on top of the nitty-gritty details of maintaining a foreign property that they handle for us (taxes, visits, cleaning, etc.). They continue to handle it all, soup to nuts, so that we can focus on the more enjoyable aspects of the journey.

Thank you Davide, Anna Maria, Barbara Andrea, Sara (and so many others)!

Salento With Love helped me find and purchase the absolute perfect property in Salento. They worked with me patiently and relentlessly to really navigate the system find out what I really required for a second Home. They made the process easy and they became not onlyprofessional in real estate, but friends I would recommend them to anyone seeking to find a property in Salento.

Exactly 4 years ago today we closed on our “Happy place” in Salento. We could have never done it with peace of mind if it was not for the Salento With Love team and Davide’s help. They made the process from beginning to start smooth and easy, and most importantly very pleasant and secured. Their knowledge and Davide’s passion for what he does make this a smooth transaction for overseas buyers like us. We are grateful and continue to enjoy working with them handing renovation projects and maintenance of our property. I recommend them 100%👍

I first contacted Salento with Love for a consultation on moving to Italy specifically to Sicily but through calm patient even discussion I changed my destination to Salento instead. Here in Salento the team helped me find an apartment to rent then assisted me in many small ways over getting my elective residence visa and permesso di soggiorno. All though my experience of locating the property in which I now live the whole Salento with Love behaved as professional experts

Conosco da vicino il team di Salento With Love Real Estate e posso dire con sincerità quanto impegno, competenza e serietà mettano nel proprio lavoro.
Apprezzo in modo particolare l’attenzione che dedicano ad entrambe le parti: a chi affida loro il proprio immobile e a chi si avvicina all’acquisto, accompagnando ciascuno con disponibilità, chiarezza e attenzione, affinché ogni percorso possa essere vissuto con serenità e fiducia.
Ed è proprio questo modo di lavorare, attento alle persone prima ancora che alla semplice conclusione di una vendita, che fa la differenza.

If you're looking to buy property in the Salento region, look no further than Salento with Love. Our journey with them has been a phenomenal five-star experience from start to finish. After just 30 seconds on the phone with Davide, I knew he was someone I wanted to work with — he has such a trusting, reassuring voice, and that first call was incredibly informative.

As overseas buyers, purchasing a home abroad can feel daunting — but their Remote Purchasing service was flawless. We had the pleasure of working with the lovely Anna Maria, who completely understood our vision and helped us find our "forever home" in Parabita. From completing the purchase remotely to navigating the renovations that followed, the entire process was smooth, secure, and genuinely stress-free. Every technical and legal detail was handled with real professionalism and transparency.

Now that the purchase and renovations are complete, we're in the great hands of Andrea for the ongoing management of our property. What started as a real estate transaction has evolved into something much deeper — it truly feels like we're dealing with family, not just a business.

We've had complete trust and confidence in their team for every decision along the way, and we continue to trust them fully with the ones still to come. Salento with Love doesn't just sell real estate — they guide you through a life-changing journey with a genuine love for the region. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to make their Italian dream a reality!

I had a great experience! The team seemed to understand my goals and helped me to navigate a market quite different from what I know locally. I was especially grateful to draw on their extensive knowledge of historic properties and their potential.

From the very start of finding the home we wanted, to the closing, we were in thoughtful and trusting hands.
Going forward, now the process of getting our home updated is also in their competent hands.
Respectful, thoughtful, and trustworthy… key areas for this overseas buyer and now, home owner in Italy.
Very highly recommend.

The staff work together as a team. Every question was answered and the process of buying my home was handled easily. When finding and buying a home in Italy, I highly recommend Salento With Love.
