We bought an old stone house and ruin in Italy | House tour + cost breakdown | Ep. 2

We bought two old stone houses in Italy for €80,000. Here's the full home tour and the real cost. In this video we give you a full home tour of both houses and break down the real costs of buying property in Italy — including the purchase price, notary, agency fees and more. Buying property abroad can feel overwhelming, especially in Italy where the process is very different from other countries. So we wanted to show complete transparency about what we paid and what you can expect if you're dreaming about buying a home here. This is the start of our journey in rural Italy, where we plan to renovate one of the houses and slowly turn the property into something special.
