1. The perfect moment to invest
Right now, Italy offers incredible opportunities to purchase homes at very affordable prices, especially if you’re coming from North America. Additionally, the entire country and the rest of Europe are easily accessible by train, car, or low-cost flights. 2. A world-class destination Italy remains one of the most sought-after travel spots worldwide. Art, history, culture, fashion, cuisine, breathtaking coastlines, majestic mountains, Tuscan hills, Greek ruins, Roman temples, delicious pasta, cannoli, and the perfect espresso — it’s all here. |

3. Living on two continents
Owning a home in Italy means splitting your time between North America and Europe. It’s a unique opportunity to enrich your lifestyle, broaden your cultural horizons, and improve your overall well-being.
4. Generate passive income
Renting out your Italian home for short-term stays is widely permitted. In some areas, owners see returns of 8–9% ROI, making real estate not only enjoyable but also profitable.
5. High demand for rentals
According to ISTAT (the Italian National Institute of Statistics), in 2023, there were nearly 450 million overnight stays in Italy, by both Italian and foreign travelers. Demand for vacation rentals has never been higher.
6. Easy first steps
To start your journey, all you need is a U.S. passport and a codice fiscale (Italian tax ID), which is free and straightforward to obtain. What you really need is a trusted broker who understands both the Italian and American systems — someone who can guide you through every step with confidence.
7. Visa opportunities
If you plan to stay in Italy longer than three months at a time, you can apply for a long-term visa after purchasing a property. This allows you to enjoy extended stays while simplifying the management of taxes and local costs. (Note: this visa does not permit work in Italy.)
8. Lower carrying costs
Property taxes, utilities, and home insurance are generally lower in Italy than in the United States. This means that even a modest stream of rental income can cover most property expenses and travel costs.
9. Buy remotely with confidence
Don’t have time to travel during the buying process? No problem. Many of my U.S. clients have purchased properties in Italy without visiting in person, relying on video tours and inspections carried out by my team. Without exception, they’ve been thrilled when they finally arrive to enjoy their new homes.
10. The Italian lifestyle
If you don’t need to work or run a business in Italy, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Italian living — slow mornings with espresso, lively piazzas, farm-to-table meals, and endless discovery.
