Where to start
The coast, place by place
Every place has its own rhythm: by the sea or on a hill, busy all year or quiet. Choosing the place matters more than choosing the house.
by the sea
Tropea
An old town on a cliff above the sea, the Santa Maria dell'Isola sanctuary on its rock and the white sand of the Coast of the Gods.

How buying works
The whole way to the keys, in eight clear steps
Worse than the price is not knowing what to sign, whom to pay and when. Here is the whole path in advance.
01
Your goal
Holidays, relocation or rental income: this decides the place and the type of home.
02
Shortlist
Options from our listings and straight from owners, including ones that are not on the portals.
03
Video viewing
We walk through the home and the area on a video call, so you see everything before you travel.
04
Checks
Land registry, compliance, mortgages and condominium fees, before any deposit.
05
Negotiation
We discuss the price with the seller based on real sales in the area.
06
Preliminary contract
Timing, deposit and conditions in writing, every clause translated and explained before you sign.
07
Notary deed
Signing at the notary with an interpreter beside you. Keys usually the same day.
08
After the purchase
Utilities in your name, taxes, works and letting: the home is ready to live in.

Guides
What nobody explains to foreign buyers in advance
Taxes, documents, checks and life in Italy: you need the answers before signing, not after.
TaxesWhat buying costs on top of the price
The listed price is not the whole amount. Here is what adds up when you buy a home in Italy.

DocumentsCodice fiscale and a bank account before signing
The things you cannot sign without, and why it pays to arrange them first.

ChecksWhat to check before paying a deposit
A deposit under the preliminary contract is usually lost if the buyer backs out. That is why the checks come first.

Living in ItalyDoes buying a home give you residency?
In short: no. But a home helps if you take one of the legal routes to move.
5 min read
Can a foreigner buy a home in Italy?
Yes. EU citizens buy on the same terms as Italians. For other countries the reciprocity principle applies: we check the rules for your country before the search starts.
What documents does a buyer need?
A passport and a codice fiscale, the Italian tax code. It is issued by the Agenzia delle Entrate or an Italian consulate, and we help you get it.
What taxes apply when buying?
From a private seller you pay registration tax: 2% of the cadastral value for a main home (prima casa), 9% otherwise. From a developer, VAT of 4% or 10%. The notary calculates the exact amount before signing.
How long does a purchase take?
Usually one to three months from offer to notary. It depends on the property's documents and whether you need a mortgage.
Can I buy without travelling to Italy?
Yes. The viewing can be done by video call, and for the notary you can sign a power of attorney (procura) for someone you trust.
Do you offer holiday rentals?
Yes, for nights, weeks and months: prices are on each listing. We also help owners rent out their homes, including the CIN code required for short-term rentals.
