1️⃣ Own a Piece of Italy — for Just $1 🇮🇹
It’s happening quietly, but it’s 100% real. Saudi citizens are legally becoming owners of full Italian villas — for the price of a soft drink. These homes are part of a government-backed revival project, and they come with real deeds, real doors, and real profit.
📜 Each home is transferred legally through the town’s mayor’s office.
2️⃣ These Aren’t Small Shacks — They’re Real Villas 🏡
You’ll find these homes in peaceful, scenic towns like Sambuca, Troina, and Taranto. Think stone balconies, tiled kitchens, garden patios, and warm Mediterranean sun — all for one Saudi riyal (literally 💸).
📊 Over 900 Saudi citizens have already claimed villas in Italy since 2022.
3️⃣ You Don’t Have to Live There Full-Time ✈️
Most Saudi owners don’t relocate. Instead, they manage their villas remotely, visit for holidays, or earn income year-round. Many hire local property managers or Airbnb agents — while they relax back home in Riyadh or Jeddah.
💬 “Owning a villa in Italy was easier than opening a coffee shop — and cheaper too.”
4️⃣ Multiple Ways to Turn Your Villa Into Income 💰
Owners are transforming their $1 villas into:
- Airbnb stays for European tourists 🌍
- Instagrammable retreat homes 📸
- Vacation rentals for other Saudi travelers 🧳
- Mini-businesses like date cafés, henna salons, and art studios 🎨
📊 Some Saudi families report making SAR 11,000–18,000/month via short-term rentals.
5️⃣ Local Towns Support Your Business Ideas 🤝
Unlike in big cities, these Italian towns welcome foreign owners. They even promote you — offering help to register businesses, renovate easily, and attract tourists. Some towns provide up to €5,000 as a welcome bonus.
6️⃣ Your Name Goes on the Title Deed — For Life 📝
This is not a lease. It’s not a time-share. The villa is fully yours. Registered under your name, approved by the local government, and backed by Italian law.
💬 “From Mecca to Milan — we now have a European address for $1.”
7️⃣ Limited Homes. Global Demand. Instant Sellouts 🔥
These homes are released in small numbers. A single drop of 8 villas in Troina recently received 3,400+ applications — with Saudi citizens among the top selected buyers.
📊 Average approval time: under 14 days for complete Saudi applications.
8️⃣ You Can Start From Saudi Arabia — No Need to Travel 🌐
Many buyers never even visit before owning. They apply online, work with local agents, and have the keys delivered digitally. Ownership starts with a form, not a flight.
9️⃣ Some Saudi Owners Are Flipping These Villas for 50x the Value 🔁
Once restored and decorated, these homes can be sold or listed again. One buyer purchased for $1 and resold after 9 months for €38,000.
📈 Average post-renovation resale: €25K–€60K.
🔟 This Is Government-Supported — and Publicly Listed 🛡️
This isn’t shady or hidden. It’s part of Italy’s official demographic rescue programs. Town mayors have spoken on national TV about it — and they love Saudi buyers for their discipline and vision.
1️⃣1️⃣ Some Towns Offer Sweeteners: Free Wi-Fi, Gift Vouchers, Even Pizza Ovens 🍕
Yes, really. Some towns provide bonuses to stand out — from electricity discounts to custom signs for your Airbnb door.
1️⃣2️⃣ While Others Hesitate, Saudis Are Already Building Wealth Abroad 🌍
This isn’t just about owning a villa. It’s about legacy. Income. Escape. Something you pass on to your kids that cost you only 4 riyals.
💬 “It’s the smartest 1 riyal I’ve ever spent.”
1️⃣3️⃣ So What Would You Call Yours? Villa Hijaz? House of Dates?
It’s waiting. A real home. A real opportunity. And yes — it’s still just $1. But not for long.
