Do you feel so drawn to life in Italy that you dream about making your home there? Could it be that you have Italian ancestry? How wonderful would it be to buy a house in the very village your grandparents lived in, see the views they saw, and meet elderly residents that remember them?
Deciding where to buy property in Italy can be a tough decision to make. It’s a beautiful country from the Lakes on the border with Switzerland, all the way down to Sicily 1,200 kilometres south, and from Sardinia in the west to Trieste in the east.
As soon as you own a property in Italy, you will be liable for certain taxes. There will be further taxes when selling the property too, and if you gain an income from the property.
Picking olives from the trees on your Italian property certainly offers a good physical workout in the fresh air. It can also be a great bonding experience for family and friends. Plus, you can share the proud moment you see the first golden oil pour from the press, and taste it on a thick slice of hearty Italian bread.
