I found mine (inderectly) through Immobiliare.it I just got an ad for the Lake Garda region, actually so I pulled it up for you. You can create an account there and circle zones in which you are interested, just like Zillow. don't count on the realtor to get back with you though. We looked for an entire year and only had 1 realtor answer questions for us. I ended up with a beautiful little villa in the hills of Tuscany because we walked around the village and called the owner (you will see signs posted as Vendisi with a phone #). Luckily mine spoke English. Let me know if I can help any further. It's the best thing I've ever done!https://www.immobiliare.it/annunci/77462080/?utm_source=trovakasa&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=detail&utm_content=20191122&sid=18161254
Hi Ugo,wow! What great information! Thank you so very much. I was told that bringing an American car into Italy would be an easy process because our emission standards are more stringent. I will definitely look into that. Nice work! Thanks again.
Yes, but I am shipping my Fiat over. If you have owned the car for more than one year, you don’t have to pay the VAT tax then. My auto insurance will insure the car the entire time it is there, I just now need to figure out how to register it. I am in the process of becoming a resident, which requires proof of “good” medical insurance which I do not have but it is not required to ship my car there. Also, since my grandparents were both born there, i somehow qualify for dual residency bu that list is very long - working on it.
Oh, my goodness! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done! I actually bought a place north of Lucca last November. The taxes are nothing, the people are amazing, the food is very inexpensive to eat very healthy and organic - most of my neighbors grow their own food and share like I’m a relative. I would start with getting an a italian SIM card (mine costs €13/month), don’t worry so much about the language - you will learn much better once you get there. I plan on heading over once i am retired in a few years. You are more than welcomed to stay (rent for a very small amount) at my place but you will definitely need a car. Try autoeurope.com or Kemwel.com. I will be shipping mine over in a few months but i still need to work on the legalities of keeping it there long term. My villa website is (but don’t book through there, just contact me directly): https://abnb.me/MLviUomCkYGood luck, have a blast and feel free to ask for help.
I used Immobiliare.it just to look around at pricing. It’s a lot like Zillow where you can specify an area and price. Then we visited about 4 times with printed out directions to the ones i preferred before we just stumbled upon a quaint village that we fell in love with. We got out, walked around, spoke (or tried to) to neighbors where they walked us directly to the homes for sale. We happened upon my dream home, called the number and after some tweaks and negotiations, it’s all mine. I really think you need to just get out there and drive around to get the right feel. Good luck - let me know if you need any tips. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done!
