What is due diligence in a hotel acquisition?
It is the in-depth review — technical, legal and tax — of the asset before completion: condition of the property, licences, litigation, debts and the impact of new tax measures (the 2026 Budget Law). It reduces risk and protects the purchase price.

Is it worth investing in a 4-star hotel in Forte dei Marmi?
It depends on the entry price, current profitability and upside potential. In Forte dei Marmi, tourist flows, seasonality and positioning all matter. We assess every opportunity against a realistic acquisition business plan, not just the asking price.
