Me and the way I work

A PASSIONATE LOVER OF PIEMONTE’S HIDDEN GEMS

Jesper Remo

Hi & welcome to my house site. I am Jesper Remo, please allow me to introduce myself. I am originally from Denmark, now living in Piemonte all year long. I bought my first house here in Piemonte in 1999 and I believe I was probably the first Danish person to buy a holiday house here in the area. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.  I am a former professional soccer player, playing for top Danish clubs like FCK Copenhagen, Elsinore, Broenshoej, and HIK, as well as a stint in Australia with Adelaide City Juventus. I try to bring my drive and dedication to my current passion: reviving old stone houses in this beautiful part of Piemonte.

Following my fairly successful soccer career, I ventured into the advertising industry, establishing a renowned agency in Denmark specializing in trade marketing and promotion. In 2006, I sold my agency and embarked on a new adventure with my family in Australia. However, the allure of Piemonte drew us back to Europe in October 2009, where we decided to settle in this charming Italian region.

My love affair with Italy spans over three decades, with the last 25 years dedicated to exploring the wonders of Piemonte. Throughout my journey, I have acquired a deep understanding of the area, its culture, and its people. Along the way, I have purchased and meticulously renovated several properties, breathing new life into these historic treasures.

It is important to note that I am NOT a conventional real estate agent. My motivation stems from a profound passion for old stone houses and the satisfaction I experience when restoring them to their former glory. With each project, I always ask myself a fundamental question: “Would I build and live in this place myself?” This unwavering commitment ensures that only the most exceptional locations and properties are presented to my clients. While this discerning approach means that only a select few projects captures my heart out of the numerous properties I encounter each year, it guarantees my clients receive unparalleled quality and distinction.

My deep-rooted love for the region extends beyond its architectural marvels. I also share a profound appreciation for Piemonte’s wonderful cuisine, world-renowned wines, and warm-hearted people. I have recently opened a small cozy winebar in a local village called Bubbio. The name of the place is Salute Winebar. It’s also a wineshop, but more than anything it is a meeting place for lovers of life, food, wine and good people. So if you are ever in the area, please come and say hello.  

If you choose me as your guide in the realm of Piemonte real estate, you gain a trusted partner who combines expertise, passion, and a discerning eye. Allow me to introduce you to the finest locations, exquisite properties, and the captivating allure of Piemonte.
