1️⃣ Australians are building second homes in Italy for less than $2 AUD — and turning them into monthly income.
It sounds like a scam — until you see the deeds, the keys, and the cash flow 📈. Yes, it’s real — and completely government-approved.
2️⃣ These homes sit in sunny, peaceful towns across Sicily and Calabria 🏖️.
Balconies with flowerpots. Warm bread in the mornings. Locals waving from scooters. You can almost smell the pizza from here 🍕🇮🇹.
3️⃣ Aussie buyers are popular among town officials — they’re seen as trustworthy and enthusiastic.
Towns like Troina and Cinquefrondi have given priority access to Australians during previous villa rounds 🇦🇺🗝️.
📊 Australia ranks 3rd globally in villa approvals since 2022.
4️⃣ Some buyers turn their homes into luxury Airbnbs for honeymooners and influencers.
One couple from Melbourne made $1,800 AUD in their first 3 weeks after restoring and listing their villa 📸💰.
5️⃣ Others use it as a vacation rental for family and friends — or just a quiet escape from city life.
Even if you only visit once a year, the value remains.
💬 “This is our Tuscany life — and we bought it with spare change.”
6️⃣ Best part? You don’t need Italian residency.
The home is yours. Your name on the deed. Your story in the walls. Forever.
7️⃣ These towns aren’t waiting. They want owners who act.
Listings vanish in under 24 hours. Most towns release homes in batches of 8–12. Once gone? You wait months for the next round.
8️⃣ Ready for more motivation? Some towns include a €2,000 renovation grant or one year of free electricity.
Yes, for real ⚡🆓.
9️⃣ One Aussie expat now runs yoga retreats in her $1 villa — charging $349/person per weekend.
From zero to business in less than 6 months 🧘♀️💶.
🔟 So the only thing stopping you is the time you spend thinking.
Your villa is out there. And it’s cheaper than a bottle of wine 🍷.
What will you name it? “Casa Kangaroo?” “The Sicilian Sunset?”
