ITALIAN PROPERTIES
Italians are not as property obsessed as British or American's. Our culture encourages us to keep the family home, our home finance system do not encourage us to be speculative. Contrary to our friends in U.S or Britain you move multiple times in your lifetime in a bid to trade up your property along the
way, Italians on average only move once every 20 years or so. Children are encouraged to build on the same property as family values/closeness is Italian life line. If you are looking for a home for life this will be a true investment property, i.e., a property that is an investment for the long-term, then you could do far worse than target Italy. Prices are never inflated due to economic boom or fall rock-bottom like Spain where they have over-built, over supply property prices dive deeply. Buying a property in Italy is long term stable investment.
Costs of living is not high if you keep to eating and living Italian style. Of course if you purchase imported products it won't be cheap. There's a choice too if you move further down South your cost living get cheaper. We choose to live up North as we love the snow. Further South you get warmer climate.
ITALIAN CULTURE
Italian culture is of course world famous for its richness and diversity and if you are retiring in Italy you will have the opportunity to enjoy art galleries, opera, beautiful architectures, fantastic frescos not forgetting Italian cuisine among the finest in the world – this has a great deal to do with the fantastic local produce and the ingredients that are available fresh every day. If you are inspired by Italian culture you need to be living in Italy to really get the most out of your passion for all things Italian.
ITALIAN LANGUAGE
Let's tackle communication Italian language and Italians are fascinating, if you understand the language you will understand the people. Italian is a passionate and beautiful language which is why Italian people are so warm and passionate (at times fiery too). Take time to learn Italian, speak Italian once you retired to Italy. Is always easier to learn a new language when you are living in the country itself.
The one good thing about Italy that is not top of minds for many people is accessibility. There are 133 airports across the country with many European cheap flight operators reaching the most remote parts at least once a week. This means you can easily travel at reasonable costs all round to explore your new home plus getting super deals to fly to visit family elsewhere.
