Question 1

How does a project with DolceVita begin?

Accepted Answer

Every project begins with a personal conversation — a focused dialogue with DolceVita’s founding partners to understand your investment, your objectives, and the market context. From there, we develop a tailored proposal with clear scope, timeline, and expected outcomes. You move forward only when you’re fully aligned.

Question 2

What types of projects do you work on?

Accepted Answer

Hospitality investments across the full lifecycle — boutique hotels, resorts, villa collections, mixed-use developments, and new-build projects. We work with both operating properties seeking performance improvement and greenfield developments from concept through launch. Our clients include hotel investors, family offices, developers, and sovereign wealth–adjacent groups.

Question 3

How long does a typical project last?

Accepted Answer

Projects range from focused three-month advisory engagements to comprehensive multi-year partnerships covering shape, build, and sustain phases. The timeline is always shaped by your asset’s specific stage and ambitions.

Question 4

Which markets does DolceVita serve?

Accepted Answer

DolceVita operates primarily across Italy and Saudi Arabia, with deep expertise in both markets. In the Kingdom, we cover Riyadh, Jeddah, the Red Sea coast, AlUla, NEOM, and Dammam — supporting projects aligned with Vision 2030’s hospitality transformation.

Question 5

What makes DolceVita’s approach different?

Accepted Answer

You work directly with senior partners throughout every engagement. DolceVita is a principal-led advisory that assembles a curated team of specialists around each project: architects, operators, brand strategists, and designers — each hand-selected and personally coordinated. Our exclusive operator partners collectively manage 70+ properties alongside Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG, ensuring every strategy is grounded in operational reality.

Question 6

Can DolceVita support a property that is already in operation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many engagements focus on optimising existing assets — refining service standards, restructuring revenue strategy, repositioning the brand, and improving operational performance through quality assurance oversight and asset performance advisory.

Question 7

What happens after the initial project?

Accepted Answer

You retain all SOPs, training materials, and quality frameworks. Most clients continue with our Sustain programme — structured quality assurance oversight that includes mystery audits, performance reviews, and ongoing strategic counsel. The goal is sustained asset performance, with DolceVita as your long-term partner.

Question 8

What is the investment level?

Accepted Answer

Engagements start from €13,500 for a Performance & Market Diagnostics and are structured as milestone-based fees aligned with deliverables, so the investment is always clear upfront. Scope varies based on asset type, project stage, and duration. A detailed proposal with transparent pricing follows the initial conversation.
