01 / The route

Planning a Milan–Como move

A Milan–Como move may involve the city centre, a lakeside villa or a second home. The final route and space within the property are decisive when choosing the vehicle and equipment.

02

Lake Como, Via Regina and Lariana

On lakeside roads and private approaches, we check widths, bends, gradients and overhead clearance. Photos of gates and driveways help assess whether smaller vans are needed.

For villas in Cernobbio and other Lake Como locations, we consider gardens, terraces and grand staircases. Any external lifting must be assessed against the ground, available space and arrival point at the required floor.

03

Valuable furniture and onward transport to Switzerland

Pianos, artworks and antique furniture require assessment of weight, dimensions and fragility. Dedicated protection and bespoke crates are available where appropriate.

If your destination continues towards Chiasso or Lugano, state the destination country from the outset. The plan must include document support and customs checks relevant to a move to Switzerland.

04

Packing, assembly and services on request

A full service can include unpacking, putting belongings in place and collecting materials. Assembly of kitchens, bookcases and wardrobes, and any modifications, are agreed according to the new space.

  • We agree which items to pack and which pieces of furniture to dismantle or reassemble.
  • Any alterations require measurements and a feasibility assessment.
  • Insurance cover, limits and exclusions must be checked in the terms of the quotation.
05

Preparing for the survey and quote

For an initial assessment, send the addresses, floor levels, preferred dates and an inventory or photographs of your belongings. The survey establishes the volume, access and services to include in the quote.

  • Provide the lift dimensions and details of narrow passages and heavy or fragile furniture.
  • Tell us about courtyards, gates, the distance from the parking space and any building access rules.
  • The quote sets out the agreed schedule, what is included and any additional services.
Helpful answers

Before you move,
let’s make things clear.

Can the move continue from Como to Switzerland?

Yes. Provide the Swiss address and the nature of the move straight away. The quote must account for the international route and the documentation required for household goods, checked for your specific circumstances.

What information is needed for a quote?

Collection and delivery addresses, floors, lifts, dates, and photos or an inventory of your belongings. Highlight fragile or heavy items and the services you need so we can assess volume and handling.

Who handles access and parking permits?

We can include assistance with the necessary permits. Requirements, lead times and costs are checked for both addresses and set out in the moving plan.

Can I request packing and reassembly?

Yes, services are agreed according to the furniture involved. Carpentry alterations require measurements of the new home; feasibility and costs must be agreed before the work begins.
