Caroline Edwards is a journalist, travel organiser & now, almost exclusively, a property consultant who moved from Pimlico to Puglia twenty years ago and has never looked back!
Past projects include writing a guide book and promotions for the local provinces & region, consultancy for local hotels & villa agencies, and designing and arranging lots of holidays or events for groups as well as individual clients. She has fast established a reputation as the ‘go to person’ for anything to do with Puglia even working with the BBC to bring The Hairy Bikers to the area ..
In the last seventeen years Caroline has concentrated on helping clients to buy property in the area, as well as offering a full project management service, from the initial obtaining of quotes, to supervising all the work, to schedule and on budget – including interior and exterior design if required. What used to be a hobby (she used to enjoy restoring houses in the UK) has become her main day to day work and she has put together a great team from engineers to artisans. Being bilingual in Italian helps! Increasingly she is offering tailor made consultancy services, from checking out properties that clients have already found (from a structural and planning point of view), to introducing architects, engineers or geometras and building teams, or checking out quotes already obtained by the client.

When she is not knee deep in plaster and fabric swatches, Caroline enjoys exploring the beautiful local towns and beaches, cooking with the fantastic local produce and, inadvertently, adopting half the stray cats in Nardò, where she lives.
