Ventura Verde's Italian team travels throughout central Italy to find unique, high quality properties to add to our fractional ownership portfolio. We look for exceptional, one-of-a-kind properties in the most beautiful locations, properties we ourselves would love to own.

Of course, everyone nurtures his or her own unique Italian dream. Some of us long to get away from it all, enjoying sweeping views from Umbria's green hills or tucked away in secluded valley by the tumbling waters of a creek. Others prefer to be close to a village for their daily cappuccino and the chance to get to know the locals. Still others crave the culture and energy of Rome.

Each of us also has different requirements for our vacation home. Large families need lots of space while empty nesters prefer something cozy and intimate. Many of us love entertaining friends and family while others seek only peace and quiet. Some of us want grand style and luxury while others, with more modest financial means, want something truly special but affordable.

Keeping all this in mind, Ventura Verde's fractional ownership portfolio features a wide range of unique and special properties, each of which has been personally visited by our Italian team to make sure it meets our Standards of Excellence.

To help potential buyers assess the properties in our portfolio, we have given each property an overall rating: 5 Villas, 4 Villas, or 3 Villas. The rating ratings are subjective, of course, but below are the typical requirements of each rating category.
