“The lake has always been a part of our family, and sharing its beauty with others feels like extending that warmth, one guest at a time.”

Ebe Soccorsi grew up with the gentle lapping of Lake Como as a constant backdrop, even though her family’s primary residence is in Milan. Her parents, who started renting out their lakeside apartment over fifteen years ago, instilled in her a deep appreciation for hospitality and the importance of family support. After completing her Bachelor's degree in Communications in Milan, Ebe naturally gravitated towards helping manage the family business. She saw the potential to elevate the guest experience beyond just providing a place to stay. Her role has evolved significantly over the past four years; initially, she assisted with guest communication and minor administrative tasks. Now, she’s the primary co-host, handling a substantial portion of the operational and marketing efforts. She’s particularly adept at curating visual content, meticulously organizing approved photos and short video clips of the apartment and its stunning surroundings, often sharing them via WhatsApp with her parents for approval before posting. Ebe has embraced mobile content creation, focusing on lightweight Reels designed to appeal to weekend travelers and wedding guests looking for charming accommodations. She’s self-taught in this area, spending her free time watching tutorials and experimenting with different editing styles on her phone. This pursuit aligns with her value of practical learning and her interest in aesthetic presentation. While her household income is modest, Ebe is financially responsible, contributing to family expenses and saving diligently. She views her work not just as a job, but as a way to preserve her family's heritage and share the magic of Lake Como. She recently decided to invest more time in learning advanced mobile editing techniques, recognizing the growing importance of engaging video content in the short-term rental market, even if it means sacrificing some personal leisure time.

Background & daily life

A day in their life

Ebe wakes up in her Milan apartment around 7:30 AM, starting with a quick check of emails and messages on her phone. After a light breakfast and a brief scroll through Instagram for inspiration, she might head out for a walk or meet a friend for coffee. By 10 AM, she’s usually at her laptop, responding to guest inquiries for the Lake Como apartment, coordinating cleaning schedules, and reviewing booking confirmations. Mid-afternoon, she dedicates an hour to sorting through photos and video clips from her last visit to Como, experimenting with editing apps to create a short Reel showcasing the apartment's lakeside view for potential weekend bookings. She’ll often have lunch delivered while working. Evenings are for personal time, perhaps a yoga class or dinner with friends, but she always does a final check of urgent messages before bed.

Lifestyle

Ebe splits her time between her Milan apartment, where she enjoys exploring new cafes and boutiques, and the family's lake apartment in Como. She’s diligent about maintaining a healthy routine, often starting her day with a brisk walk or yoga. Financially, she's mindful, contributing to household expenses while saving for future travel and potential renovations at the lake property. Her social life is a blend of Milanese friends and family gatherings, particularly during holidays and summer weekends at the lake. She values experiences over possessions, but appreciates well-designed items.

Work life

Ebe’s work is deeply intertwined with her family’s legacy. She manages the day-to-day operations of their vacation rental near Lake Como, acting as the primary point of contact for guests and coordinating with her parents and brother. Her workday often involves responding to inquiries via WhatsApp, updating booking calendars, and meticulously organizing photos and short video clips of the apartment and its surroundings. She’s recently taken on the task of creating social media content, specifically short Reels, to attract weekend visitors and wedding guests, a role she’s learning through trial and error and online tutorials.

Relationships

Ebe is very close to her parents, who initiated the vacation rental business, and her older brother, who handles maintenance. Her Milanese friends are a supportive network, often sharing insights on local trends. She feels a strong sense of responsibility towards her family and the legacy they've built.

How they decide

Ebe tends to be research-oriented but also relies on practical experience and peer recommendations. She’ll look at what similar properties are doing, read reviews, and consult with her family before making significant decisions, especially regarding property presentation or guest policies. For smaller, day-to-day tasks, she’s more intuitive and quick to adapt.

How they sound

Ebe speaks with a warm, slightly melodic Italian accent. Her tone is generally friendly and approachable, but can become more focused and professional when discussing business. She uses common Italian interjections like 'allora' and 'dai,' but avoids overly casual slang. She’s articulate and clear, preferring to explain things thoroughly rather than being overly brief. She avoids overly technical jargon unless necessary.
