"Un Sogno di Casa":
step by step to your dream house in Italy

Italy! Do you ever fantasize about it? Secretly? A second home, yes, in Italy. Rolling hills, vast vineyards, sun, wine, pasta, and pizza, BBQ, swimming pool... ahhh! That would be something! But...

How do I do that...?

You surf the Internet a bit. You see unaffordable dream villas, but also uninhabitable, verbergous shacks. How do you find a suitable house in this confusing jungle? The A House under the Sun horror stories discourage you.

Countless questions race through your mind. Questions to which you have no answers. Not yet...

Questions, questions...

How do I find the house of my dreams without getting cheated? Can I find such a house on the internet? Do I have to visit Italy frequently to view houses? Which region is the most favorable in terms of price and landscape? How do I approach a renovation? Can I get a mortgage? Who can maintain and watch over it when I'm not there? Do I need to register in Italy? How does the sales process work? What will all of this cost? Do I need an Italian bank account? I don't speak Italian yet, how will I manage during the whole process? These questions keep spinning in your head.

You sigh and click away again, for the umpteenth time. Too complicated, all of it. This dream will remain unfulfilled. Or...?

Keep calm!

Keep calm! as Roberto Rampinelli and Davide Mason, confidants, wine enthusiasts, building experts, networkers, dog lovers, and whatnot, always say. Cool-headed! No panic. Every problem can be solved. Step by step, while keeping your composure. Con calma! As long as you know what you're doing and whom to turn to. But you probably don't think you do know that now.

No: you DIDN'T know. Until you landed on this page. Sounds too good to be true? We don't think so. Let us prove it to you. Step by step. Con sangue freddo.

Finding a House

Surfing the internet is something anyone can do. Italian websites with houses on offer are abundant, such as Immobiliare.it, Idealista.it, Casa.it, etc. Sometimes, advertisements are posted directly by the sellers, and sometimes by intermediary real estate agents. These Italian agents also have their own websites, ranging from large and nationally operating (Tecnocasa, Gabetti, etc.) to small and local. But, try to see the forest for the trees. The information on the sites is often limited (and notoriously unreliable!). And the photos are often far from appealing and don't provide a comprehensive overview.

So, how do you go about finding a house? If you contact a real estate agent, you are committed to them (and to 3% commission, quickly 5,000 euros or more). Making an appointment for a viewing is often very difficult in practice (as strange as this may sound). Appointments are often not honored or canceled at the last minute. So, how do you organize viewings of several interesting houses (from different sellers/agents) in a week or long weekend? The risk is high (not just present, no: high) that you come to Italy for nothing.
