Home Watch in Elba: reliable inspections while you're away
Elba Property Care is the first service on Elba Island dedicated exclusively to watching over and managing second homes. We're not a rental agency. We don't manage holiday lets. We do one thing: protect your property when you're not there.
What we check on every visit
Every inspection follows a structured, video-recorded protocol. We don't do quick drive-bys: we enter, document, and verify every item on our operational checklist.
- ✓Overall property condition: walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures
- ✓Plumbing: taps, drains, signs of leaks, meter readings
- ✓Electrical: function tests, circuit breaker, alarm/UPS
- ✓Humidity & ventilation: relative humidity levels, airflow, mold signs
- ✓Security: doors, windows, shutters, locks, alarm system
- ✓Garden & exterior: vegetation, fences, access points
- ✓Pool & special systems: levels, filters, covers (if applicable)
- ✓Mail & letterbox: collection, flagged correspondence
- ✓Signs of intrusion or vandalism
- ✓Heating/air conditioning function test
Video reporting and transparent documentation
Every visit is fully video-recorded from the moment we enter until we leave the property. We don't send a few photos: we produce a complete video report that documents the real state of your home.
Each report includes: full visit video, any flagged anomalies, checklist status, operational recommendations. Everything accessible from your private dashboard.
A service for owners, not for rentals
If you're looking for someone to manage your Airbnb guests, we're not the right service. Elba Property Care exists for one reason: to protect the absent owner's property.
This exclusive focus allows us to dedicate all attention, protocols, and resources to the care of your home — with no conflicts of interest from holiday rental management.
Who this service is for
Italian and international owners of second homes, villas, and apartments on Elba Island who spend extended periods away from their property. People who want certainty that their home is under control, with verifiable documentation and a dedicated local contact.
Who this service is NOT for
It's not for those seeking the cheapest option. Not for those wanting a property manager for tourist rentals. Not for those satisfied with an occasional check without protocols. Elba Property Care is a premium service for those who demand professional standards in the care of their home.
