The Trouble with Traditional Italian Homeownership—and the Luxury Solution
The romance of Italy. The ease of ownership. The smart alternative to traditional second homes.
Imagine spending your days in Italy—basking in warm Mediterranean air, dining al fresco, wandering historic villages, and soaking up a culture known for its beauty, food, and effortless lifestyle.
For many, the dream of owning a holiday home in Italy is powerful—but the reality of buying and maintaining a second home abroad is far more complicated than expected.
The Challenges of Traditional Home Ownership in Italy
Buying and owning a home in Italy can come with a long list of unexpected burdens:
The Real Cost of Acquisition:
- Up to 22% in second home taxes
- High renovation costs (especially with Italy’s strict seismic and heritage regulations)
- Professional fees: notary, realtor commissions, surveyors, and legal advisors
- Furnishings, appliances, gardens, pools—all additional
Ongoing Struggles of Absentee Ownership:
- Homes sit empty 10–11 months per year
- Most owners only use their homes 4–6 weeks annually
- High costs to maintain, clean, and repair
- Risky and time-consuming rental management
- Limited amenities, services, and long-term resale flexibility
- Navigating Italian bureaucracy, language barriers, and local building challenges
