    Most of these offers are only valid for people between 18-40, and must be EU or Italian residents. So no retirees. Unfortunately, the Santo Steffano offer expired already in 2020. Would love to hear about other offers that could work for retiree age, if you hear of them.

      Based on our information there were no age restrictions for Tuscany. We also believe there are more opportunities coming that will be open to anyone willing to invest in these areas. Thank you for viewing!

    4:05 From the picture, I can tell you this property has been neglected for a long while. There is ceiling damage as it needs a new roof, new floors, a redo of the interior plasterwork, and a good paint job which will probably cost you at least €50k. Most likely other issues need to be addressed, like plumbing, heating/cooling, etc. So, unless you are in the business of restoring century-old homes, it will cost you a lot to hire professionals to do the work for you, as they are not cheap. Finally, these incentives mentioned are not for retirees looking to spend their golden years in ease and relation, they are for younger people willing to invest, start a business, and hopefully revitalize the area that presently is dying.

      @@adventurefreaksss Appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comment. I do not have specific details about these incentives offered by some municipalities in Italy, but from what I know, these incentives are meant to attract younger couples to revitalize their communities. Attracting older residents may not be enough to address the underlying issue as many villages are struggling with declining populations and school closures due to a lack of younger generations. Looking forward to your next video with more details about Italy.

    I love Italy, however I'm not so sure about buying a home there due to their frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. From my research into moving there I found many people talking about that. It's the reason why there are $1 ruins for sale. There are about a dozen active volcanoes in Italy and in Sicily and in the sea. So be careful and look into all the pros and especially the cons of moving there if that's what you've been thinking. There's a logical reason why some of these areas are very cheap and alluring.

      And an active so-called Supervolcano on top of that. Those regions are seismically active and close to Campi Flegrei. Not to mention the aging population, people in their early 30-s would have very limited options to form relationships and have entertainment in those towns.

    This looks and sounds nice, but if I'm looking to move to a town to LIVE in, rather than vacation in, I want to know about more than just what restaurants are within walking distance. I want to know about the grocery stores, farmers' markets, pharmacies, and most importantly, hospitals that are in the immediate area.

    • @adventurefreaksss
      @adventurefreaksss  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      My goal was to give a quick overview of nearby restaurants due to the time constraints of the video. However, you can use Google’s 'Nearby' feature to find more options and see how long it would take to reach them by walking, biking, driving, or public transport.

    Somewhat interesting, but not so open to the entire internet as an audience. One site said this "must be either Italian citizens, EU citizens or non-EU citizens holding a long-term residence permit, and they need to commit to registering as residents in an Italian town-and they can’t currently reside in a mountain community". So translation, they want to restore these antique towns back to prosperous family-building bedroom communities, not change them into tourist destinations. In fact, I would hardly even say they are soliciting the international buyer of these homes. They want locals or to comply with their obligations to the EU. No thanks for me anyway, since I can get a fixer-upper without walkable beach access for the price of a car, in the USA.

      @@adventurefreaksss I know well the village you are talking about in the video. It's ok if you stay there in Summer for few days but it's crazy to think to live there specially if you come from another country (isolation for the snow in Winter, frequent earthquakes that destroyed two times the village in the last 50 years, no jobs, tourism and so on). It's like to describe as a paradise the most isolated ghost town in the Appalachi. It's the same for many proposal that are on youtube: for example, the cases of houses in small villages in deep Sicily, Sardinia, Calabria, none Italians or Europeans would never chose to live there. Maybe it could be useful to mind why. Real Italy is not a postcard.
