Buying and Renovating an Old Italian 🇮🇹Farmhouse 🏡The REAL Costs No One Mentions🐈‍⬛

Описание: #movingtoitaly #livinginitaly #italyproperty

When people talk about moving to Italy, they usually focus on the dream — the views, the food, the slower pace of life. What rarely gets discussed is the reality of setting everything up, especially when you buy an older rural property.

Find out what it has actually cost us so far since buying our farmhouse in Italy. Now that we’re a few months in and things have settled, it felt like the right time to sit down and share real numbers — not estimates, not guesses, but what we’ve genuinely paid.

Beyond that, I also talk about the less obvious costs people don’t always plan for — car hire while waiting for residency, temporary accommodation, fuel, and the paperwork required to make everything compliant in Italy.

This isn’t meant to scare anyone off. It’s about being prepared. Some costs are one-off, some are front-loaded, and some are simply part of choosing a rural lifestyle. But once you understand them, you can make informed decisions instead of expensive surprises.

Thanks for watching — and we’ll share more as the renovation journey continues.
