We bought an old stone house and ruin in Italy | House tour + cost breakdown. #1

Описание: We bought two old stone houses in Italy for €80,000.
Here's the full home tour and the real cost.

In this video we give you a full home tour of both houses and break down the real costs of buying property in Italy — including the purchase price, notary, agency fees and more.

Buying property abroad can feel overwhelming, especially in Italy where the process is very different from other countries. So we wanted to show complete transparency about what we paid and what you can expect if you're dreaming about buying a home here.

This is the start of our journey in rural Italy, where we plan to renovate one of the houses and slowly turn the property into something special.

We are Nicolas and Bieke, a Belgian couple with two small dogs — Miguel & Mirabel.

In 2025, we sold everything and moved from Belgium to Italy to buy and restore two old stone houses in the mountains of Umbria.

This channel documents the real journey of buying property in Italy as foreigners — from the house search and paperwork to renovating a ruin step by step and building a new life abroad.

🌿 On this channel you’ll find:
– buying a house in Italy
– the real cost of moving to Italy
– renovating old stone houses in Umbria
– navigating Italian laws and bureaucracy
– learning Italian as beginners
– expat life in rural Italy with two dogs

No romantic filters. No “Instagram Italy”.
Just the honest process of starting over in another country.

Our long-term goal is to transform these stone houses into a small boutique B&B and retreat space in the Italian countryside.
