For those managing remotely

Managing properties in Ticino from outside the canton?

You're not alone. Many property managers from Zurich, French-speaking Switzerland and abroad manage holiday homes, second residences and rental properties in Ticino without a reliable local partner.

The challenge: guaranteeing cleaning quality when you're not on site.

  • No reliable, easy-to-reach local partner
  • No proof of what was actually done at each visit
  • Complaints from tenants or owners that reach you before your own information does
  • Too much time spent coordinating and chasing
  • Communication scattered across distance and different providers

Angolli is built exactly for this situation:

  • A single point of contact: direct contact in Italian, English or Portuguese, by phone, WhatsApp or email
  • Proof at every visit: dated before/after photos sent to your contact, if you want them
  • Written standards: scope and routine defined per building, the same quality every visit
  • Local expertise: teams in Ticino who know the buildings, property managers and municipalities
  • Insurance cover: professional liability insurance included

Manage from a distance with the certainty that everything in Lugano is done as agreed.

The problem

The typical challenges of property management in Ticino

Coordinating cleaning remotely usually means:

Inconsistent quality

Different standards from one visit to the next: no written scope, no final check

Endless coordination

Constant calls, emails and messages just to find out whether the work was done

No proof

You don't know what was actually done: you only find out about problems after the complaints

Complicated communication

Providers who are hard to reach or slow to respond, in the wrong language

Most cleaning companies sell hours.

We take responsibility for the result, with written standards and proof of the work done.

Our approach

Built on written standards, not improvisation

Quality doesn't happen by chance. It has to be built systematically and then checked every time.

Written routines and checklists

Every building has a scope and routine defined on paper and attached to the offer. No surprises, no shortcuts.

Trained and vetted teams

Specific training, guided onboarding and the coordinator's sign-off before the first unsupervised visit.

A responsible point of contact

Direct contact in Italian, English or Portuguese. No answering machine, no automated reply.

Proof and transparency

Cross-check at the end of every visit, dated before/after photos sent to your contact if requested, same-day reporting of any issue.

You stay informed, without having to chase anyone.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ for property management companies

Answers to the most important questions

What languages do you offer the service in?
We operate in Italian, English and Portuguese. All communication (calls, WhatsApp, email, offers) can take place in any of these three languages. We know that many property managers handle properties in Ticino from outside the canton or from abroad, and we adapt to the contact person's language.
How do you keep us informed about the visits?
With a single point of contact and proof of the work done: at every visit, if you request it, you receive dated before/after photos via WhatsApp or email, and any issue found in the building (damage, malfunction, abandoned waste) is reported to you the same day. The visit schedule is agreed in writing, and any change is communicated to you at least 24 hours in advance.
What kind of photo documentation do you offer?
Three levels: (1) no photos, (2) photos only in case of problems or for specific areas, (3) full dated before/after documentation at every visit. Option 3 is the most chosen for holiday homes and high-value properties managed remotely.
How do you handle access to the properties?
We work with your existing system: keys, key boxes, access codes or personal handover. All keys are logged and kept securely, and access is recorded. For private apartments, all collaborators sign a confidentiality agreement.
What happens if a tenant or guest complains?
We take every complaint seriously. Contact your point of contact by phone, WhatsApp or email: we confirm we've taken it on the same day, check the issue and resolve it within 48 hours. If the error is ours, the corrective visit is free.
Are your collaborators insured and vetted?
Yes. All our collaborators are employed by Angolli, covered by accident and liability insurance, and paid under the Ticino cleaning-sector collective agreement (CCL). For work in private apartments we carry out additional checks (criminal record extract, references) and require a confidentiality agreement. The company is covered by professional liability insurance; the certificate is provided on request.
Can you carry out urgent or last-minute cleaning?
Yes, depending on availability. For urgent cases (for example before a handover or an important site visit) we usually step in within 24–48 hours. Contact us as soon as possible so we can organise the team.
Which areas of Ticino do you cover?
We're based in Massagno and cover the whole Lugano area: Lugano, Paradiso, Massagno, Melide, Morcote, Bissone, Caslano, Agno, Collina d'Oro and neighbouring municipalities, as well as Mendrisio, Bellinzona and Locarno. For large portfolios in other areas, contact us for an assessment.
How are your prices structured?
We offer fixed prices, calculated on square metres, frequency and the building's specific requirements. No hidden costs. Prices are reviewed once a year. For property managers with multiple properties, we offer volume terms.
Do you provide written service commitments?
Yes. Every contract includes clear commitments: response times, notice of changes, complaint handling, free redoing of non-compliant visits. We believe in accountability, not vague promises.
