BUYING A PROPERTY IN ITALY: Italian Lawyer's Advice on Real Estate & Home Renovations

Many of you have the dream of living in Italy, in your own rustic farmhouse, similar to the story in Under the Tuscan Sun. This episode I interview Michele Capecchi, an Italian lawyer in Florence, Tuscany, to give you the ultimate guide to buying a property in Italy. Whether you'd like to buy a holiday home in Tuscany, an investment that you could run as an agriturismo or Airbnb accommodation, or perhaps you're keen to try the adventure of restoring a historic villa in the countryside to eventually retire with your family. Michele talks through the dangers and key questions to ask so that this process can be smooth and relatively stress-free. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy.
