The easiest way to buy a home in Italy
Buying a property in Italy is one of the most attractive lifestyle and investment opportunities in Europe, offering everything from city apartments in Milan to Tuscan villas and coastal retreats. With competitive prices compared to other Western European countries, Italy remains a top choice for both second homes and relocation. The process is open to non-EU citizens, including UK residents post-Brexit, and often serves as a pathway to residency and long-term settlement. Successful buyers enjoy not only real estate ownership but also access to Italy’s culture, healthcare, and EU mobility.
Buying a home in Italy gives you more than a property: it offers a lifestyle of art, food, and history in one of the world’s most desirable destinations. It is also a secure investment with long-term growth and opportunities for residency.

Italy has one of the most beautiful landscapes, scenery, history, lifestyle and food cultures in the world. When you purchase a home in Italy, you get access to this every day.
Italian House Prices are often 35-40% cheaper than the UK counterparts, making for an attractive purchasing opportunity that won't break the bank and give you access to Italy.
If purchasing in popular tourist destinations, Italian homes are prime investments for rental income with services like Airbnb or long term rentals for summer periods (or winter in the Dolomites)!
Option to apply for the Italian Golden Visa when property investment meets minimum thresholds, opening the door to residency in the future: perfect for those who are not eligible for citizenship by marriage or descent.
