We all know there is no shortage of information on the internet about buying a property in Italy. From articles to videos to courses to consultations with specialists. We've read and watched and participated in so many and still had several questions and found some things confusing - until we bought our house in Sardinia.
So, we don't claim to be experts at all but just want to share what we've learned through our personal experience and several years of research to hopefully help you buy a home in Italy and start living your dream as easily as possible.
