Homes for Restoration

In the last forty years, many thousands of non-Italians have bought and rebuilt or restored a dilapidated property in Italy. Some have been very hands-on, living in and around the property while it’s being worked on, and even doing some of the work themselves. Others have stayed at home and employed local project managers to oversee the building work. Some restoration projects have been modest, some have been gigantic. But thousands of people have done one, and if it’s your dream too, so can you.

It’s easy to imagine why it would be anyone’s dream. Not only do you end up with a history-rich house in Italy, and often – although not always – at a cheaper overall cost than buying one ready to move into, you get to style the place yourself. Depending
