Tuscan villa pool deck with loungers — luxury pool management by MANERI
Why pool management matters

Luxury Tuscan villas are sold on the pool.

A Chianti villa, a Val d'Orcia estate, a Siena countryside retreat — the booking decision starts with the photograph of the pool. When the pool isn't quite right — green at the edges, scale on the tiles, equipment that whines, a skimmer overflowing — guests notice immediately. And then it shows up in the reviews.

MANERI handles the entire pool operation: water chemistry and balancing, weekly cleaning and skimming, equipment monitoring, seasonal opening and closing, and rapid coordination with specialist pool technicians when a repair is needed.

One local team, one accountable point of contact, photo report after every pool visit — so you always know exactly what was done, even when you're not in Tuscany. Coverage spans Chianti, Val d'Orcia, Siena countryside, the Florence countryside, and Forte dei Marmi.

The pool is the first photo guests open and the last memory they take home. Everything in between has to match it.
What's covered

The full pool maintenance operation, handled.

Six recurring areas of work that make up complete pool management. Weekly during pool season, fortnightly off-season, more often when villas are actively booked. Every villa, every visit, every pool.

Water chemistry

pH, chlorine, alkalinity, hardness, stabiliser — tested and corrected on every visit. Calcium-rich Tuscan water gets monitored carefully.

Cleaning & skimming

Surface skimming, vacuuming, waterline cleaning, brushing, debris removal. Frequency adjusted to season and occupancy.

Equipment monitoring

Pumps, filters, timers, salt cells, heaters. Early-warning checks every visit, so failures are caught before guests notice.

Seasonal opening & closing

Spring opening (winter cover off, deep clean, water rebalanced, equipment recommissioned) and autumn closing (winterisation, anti-freeze protocol).

Repairs & specialists

When a technical intervention is needed (pump, plant, hydraulics, lining), we coordinate trusted specialists and supervise the job end to end.

Photo report each visit

Date, water readings, work done, photos of the pool area — sent to the owner after every visit. Archived for 12 months.

How you pay for it

Two transparent ways. You choose.

Pool care is included in our property management service. The difference is how vendors get paid — either you pay them directly and we coordinate, or we pay everyone and bill you once a month. Same result, different cash flow.

Option A

Coordinated pool care.

Lower management fee · Owner pays vendors directly

You keep your existing pool company invoices (or we set you up with one of our trusted partners). MANERI coordinates the visits, supervises the work, follows up on issues, and reports back to you. You receive each vendor invoice directly.

  • Weekly site visits and standards checks by MANERI
  • Photo report after every pool service
  • Direct relationship between you and the pool company
  • MANERI handles scheduling, scope, and supervision
  • Lower monthly management fee
  • Best for owners who want full vendor visibility
Option B

Full-service pool care.

Higher management fee · One monthly invoice from MANERI

MANERI selects vendors, pays them directly, and consolidates everything into a single monthly invoice with itemised breakdown. You receive one statement at the end of the month and a clear running ledger you can check anytime.

  • Everything in Option A, plus:
  • MANERI pays all pool vendors and chemists directly
  • One consolidated monthly invoice for everything
  • Itemised ledger of every pool expense
  • No vendor admin on your side — ever
  • Best for owners abroad or with multiple properties
What's the right choice? Most owners who live abroad pick Option B for simplicity — one invoice, one ledger, no chasing. Owners who already have established relationships with local vendors usually pick Option A. Both come with the same coverage and the same photo reports. We'll suggest the best fit during your property evaluation.
Montelodoli pool — Chianti villa managed by MANERI
Case study

Montelodoli — Chianti infinity pool, two summer seasons in.

A boutique two-studio Chianti retreat with a panoramic infinity pool — heavily booked April through October. MANERI took over pool management ahead of the 2024 season.

The brief was simple: a guest-ready pool every single arrival, no surprises, full visibility for the owner.

0 Algae outbreaks (24 months)
100% Guest arrivals served clear
24h Vendor response on issues

One pump issue, one filter replacement, two minor electrical adjustments — caught early during routine visits, fixed before any guest noticed. The owner sees every photo report by email within hours of the visit.

Why owners choose MANERI

Why owners pick us for villa pool management.

01

One point of contact

You don't chase suppliers — we do. Schedules, repairs, escalations, follow-ups all run through MANERI. You message us, we handle it.

02

Photo reports, not promises

Every pool visit ends with a dated photo report sent to you. Archived for 12 months. You always know what was done and when.

03

Aligned with the wider estate

Pool standards mean nothing if the deck, the garden, or the outdoor furniture is neglected. We coordinate everything around the pool as one connected space.

Frequently asked

Questions owners ask about villa pool management.

No. Pool care is included as part of our full property management. The reason is straightforward — a pool that's perfect on its own but disconnected from the rest of the property (deck, garden, outdoor furniture, equipment room) won't deliver the luxury standard guests expect. We manage the whole picture so the result actually holds together.
Both. MANERI staff handle the routine recurring work — visits, water testing, skimming, presentation, photo reporting. Specialist interventions (technical repairs, hydraulic work, equipment replacement) are carried out by trusted partner companies that we select, supervise, and follow through to completion. You only deal with us.
During pool season (typically May–October) at least once a week, plus a check-in before every guest arrival. When the villa is actively booked back-to-back, visits become more frequent. Off-season (winter), we visit every two to three weeks to check water quality of the covered pool and equipment condition.
In Option A, you receive invoices directly from the pool company and pay them yourself. MANERI charges a lower management fee because we're not handling vendor payments. In Option B, MANERI pays all pool vendors directly and sends you one monthly statement. Our management fee is higher because we're absorbing the admin and cash-flow burden. The pool care itself is identical in both cases.
We diagnose the issue, source the right specialist, get a quote, share it with you for approval (unless under a pre-agreed urgency threshold), and supervise the repair to completion. You receive a before/after photo report and the invoice handling depends on whether you're on Option A or Option B. Minor consumables (chlorine, pH-adjusters, brushes) are included in the regular service and never need separate approval.
Yes — and it's almost always the right setup. Pool care, garden care, and home watch share visit cycles, so combining them lowers per-property cost and improves consistency. Each service still produces its own photo report and dedicated tracking. We work this out together during the property evaluation.
