International Expertise Rooted in the Local Market
Founded by Jenny Pehrson and Hicham El Foutoun, Elio Estates brings together two highly complementary areas of expertise: international real estate investment and marketing, alongside decades of construction, redevelopment, and project execution experience in the Monferrato region. Monferrato is more than the market in which we operate—it is our home. Surrounded by rolling UNESCO-listed vineyards, historic villages, and extraordinary landscapes, we draw daily inspiration from the authenticity and enduring beauty of the region. These values define all our projects.
