Liguria

Buy Your Dream Home in Liguria

Liguria blends pastel-coloured coastal villages, cliffside paths, and clear blue seas. From Cinque Terre and the Riviera di Levante to the elegant Riviera di Ponente, discover sea-view apartments, charming townhouses, and refined coastal villas.

Liguria is in north-western Italy, bordering on France. The region features impressive mountains and lovely rolling hills, colored by the green Mediterranean turf and overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The two are divided by a high, indented coastline. 
Liguria is a multifaceted sliver of the Peninsula, where differences weave together to create a wide array of things to do and see during a visit here. Nature, mountains, culture, entertainment, and nightlife: all one has to do is choose. 
The waters of this section of the Mediterranean are an enormously important feature of the region, with its characteristic rocky coasts interrupted by small coves and beaches of fine golden sand. 
The Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Poets, the Gulf of Tigullio, Genoa, and the Paradise Gulf, along with the Riviera delle Palme and the Riviera dei Fiori, comprise the famous coast of Liguria, which stretches from Ameglia to Ventimiglia, covering more than 300 km (186 mi). During an itinerary so spectacular for the beauty of the land and seascapes, we can see the most famous tourist resorts of Liguria: Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo, Sestri Levante with its enchanting Baia del Silenzio (Silent Bay), and Chiavari.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can non-EU citizens buy in Liguria? Yes. Americans and other non-EU buyers can purchase in Italy. You’ll need a Codice Fiscale and a notary; I guide you through each step.

What extra costs should I expect? Plan roughly 6-7% on top of the purchase price for taxes, notary, registration, and agency fees, plus ongoing costs (maintenance, utilities, IMU/TARI).

Is short-term renting allowed? Generally yes, but verify municipal and condo rules and any coastal/heritage restrictions in your target town.

Where can I find better value? Look beyond the ultra-prime hubs—consider towns near but not inside Cinque Terre, parts of the Riviera di Ponente, and inland hill villages.
