Our Story
An Independent Advisory Firm Since 2012
Portanova was founded on one principle: significant property decisions deserve dedicated, independent advice.
What began as a private practice for a small number of residential clients has grown into an advisory firm known for off-market access, disciplined negotiation, and professional presentation.
We operate independently of mass-market brokerage. Each engagement receives a dedicated advisor, neighborhood-level market data, and a documented process from first meeting to closing — handled in full confidence.
Today, Portanova advises buyers, sellers, and investors on premium residential property across Europe — from historic townhouses and waterfront penthouses to long-term family holdings.
Portanova Founded
The firm opens in Torino, advising a small group of private clients on residential acquisitions and off-market searches.
Investment Advisory Added
Portfolio and investment advisory is added for clients evaluating rental yield, asset quality, and acquisition timing.
€1 Billion in Transactions
Cumulative transaction value advised by the firm passes €1 billion, much of it for families relocating between European cities.
Private Search Desk
A dedicated desk now manages search and relocation mandates for clients arriving from abroad, from first brief to key handover.
Leadership
Meet Alessandro Hartmann
Portanova was founded to give private clients measured guidance, careful market analysis, and a well-managed transaction from first meeting through closing.
“The best real estate decisions feel unhurried. Our role is to create that clarity — before, during, and long after the transaction.”

Our Approach
How We Work With Every Client
A clear, repeatable process that keeps complex transactions on schedule and well documented.
01
Understand the Brief
We begin with lifestyle priorities, timing constraints, and the financial parameters that define a successful outcome.
02
Curate the Opportunity Set
On-market listings, off-market introductions, and neighborhood-level analysis narrow the field to properties worth serious attention.
03
Negotiate with Discipline
Every offer and counter is structured around market evidence, seller motivation, and your long-term objectives — not urgency for its own sake.
04
Close with Clarity
Due diligence, inspection coordination, and closing milestones are managed proactively so nothing surprises you at the finish line.
Our Values
Our Client Commitments
Four standards we apply to every engagement, for every client.
Discretion
Private search, confidential valuation, and carefully managed negotiation for sensitive property decisions.
Market Judgment
Neighborhood-level pricing intelligence, buyer behavior signals, and practical guidance before every move.
Presentation
Editorial-grade positioning, photography direction, and launch strategy for properties that need to stand apart.
Calm Execution
Clear milestones, disciplined communication, and steady advocacy from first conversation to closing.
