I held my breath when you used the stairs... 😮 Thank you for showing us the 1 euro houses in your town. The schemes in different areas in Italy have various requirements and people considering buying the houses will definitely need to look into it carefully. I would love to see the finished 1 euro home. Please don't change the way you present your videos. They add to the charm of your channel. Looking forward to many more 😊
@@susanryan3579 ha ha… yeah they were pretty tricky to get back down! Thanks so much for commenting your thoughts! As for the 1 euro home, I will see if I can present it… just need permission from the owner 😊.
As a total cat/animal lover, hugs to you for your sweet interaction with those adorable little ones 🤗😁🤗 And thank you for keeping us on the edge of our seats showing us the houses that deserve another chance! I would buy a one euro house because I’d like to be able to redo everything my way, while ensuring that all plumbing, electrical and heating/cooling was safe, new and not likely to require breaking down my new walls to repair something 😂 😁🤗🥰
I am team cat all the way! Ha ha... but seriously, I love all animals if I'm honest. I want to get a couple of kittens here but I'm feeling a little unsure about if it's the right choice just yet... time will tell but I MISS having my own in my home with me. I get lonely without cats so this is my only real outlet for time with them at the moment. I will happily sit for 30 minutes or more with them on my walks (and the horses and dogs and donkeys or anything else that will let me hang with them ha ha) In terms of the house, you're braver than me but I love that take on things, you really do get to make it fully yours from the very beginning and know exactly what condition everything is in. Thanks for sharing that!
Thanks for risking your life in the one euro house! I see the potential in it, but I also see that every single thing may need to come down. Starting from scratch would be daunting!
Any 1 euro house can be renovated but it's a question of whether it is worth it or not, when for the same money, you could buy something that is move in ready as you did. I guess if someone had building skills, it might be worth it. However, we're talking not just about big ticket items like a new roof and completely new electrical and plumbing, but replastering, a new kitchen and bathroom and also all the cosmetic work inside and out. I'm pretty sure the cost to do the works needed, will exceed what you paid for your place.
All great points here, thanks for sharing. You'd likely save if you're able to do some of the work yourself. The woman who built the house at the end of the video, she does not have building skills to my knowledge and paid for it all. She's gone above and beyond when it comes to certain things like having custom made doors etc and this is where things can start to get expensive. I am grateful I chose to do it this way, 1 euro was not for me!
Thank you for sharing ❤ I still looking for a house in Italy , this was learning and good to know about, show more houses please and more of your work in your house ❤
Hi Jesus Jerry, thanks again for commenting (I see you 🙂). The green house is a dream for me, but I chose the best for me in the moment. There are soooo many incredible houses here and in the world that I try not to live in any regret but sometimes I do. The spaces next door would be a huge amount of space. I think if any, I'd like the one to the right for the land.
@@livinglavitasarda undoubtedly, both your purchased piece and dream are lovely. I can spend hours viewing property in Italy and France (one day). What is the plan come winter , Australia? Anyways, glad to see you are well. ☺️
To have a gutted stone structure to rebuild to your taste is a luxury for the few in Europe these days. Building costs have soared and you really do need to develop skills and do some of the work yourself. I bought a village house in Portugal decades ago and now I have to demolish some parts. That’s OK, still get to sleep in a granite stable and will construct a typical Aussie tin shed for a kitchen. One thing though I can’t live without is a garden. Imagining how things could look is part of the fun, isn’t it?
Wow! What an interesting story you have and what a badass you are! But yes, I hear you on the costs. I don't yet know fully what the costs will be here and it seems that it depends on the work, the workers and the location as to how much something costs. All the very best to you over in portugal!
Serious challenge. I remember seeing a 9000 Euro house and it was beautiful but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, it felt too overwhelming for my first purchase.
very informative video, specially from someone who went through the process herself. Ah, the green house: a garden, a view, no neighbors … but it all comes down to the individual situation and the budget of course. As far as I know, those 1 € houses are village houses. I guess for the price ranges you mentioned you can also find houses a bit more in the countryside,right?
This town has around 3000 people. You can definitely find places in those price ranges here. I'd say the more remote, the bigger the land and house and lower the price... Because it's a small town, the "centre of town" or centro storico is not far from the outskirts of the town, max 20 minute walk to everywhere from the centre. So, if you buy on the "outskirts," you're still very close to everythng.
Thanks for taking us on this adventure! I sometimes dream of escaping to the Italian countryside too, but there are a few concerns and I'd love to hear your thoughts on them: 1. Water shortage: You often hear about desertification of many Mediterranean regions due to climate change. I guess this is also a reason why there are so many 1 euro houses in Sicily. How is the situation in Sardegna? Are there water issues to be expected? 2. Political situation: I know that the rise of the far right extremists is an international phenomenon, but it is further developed in Italy than in let's say Germany where I am from. As a gay man I am very sensitive to these things, since we are the next group that will serve as scapegoats for any problem, once people are tired of blaming everything on foreigners and refugees. What are your thoughts on the political situation in Italy and the wellbeing of minorities? Are you concerned about your rights and freedoms as a woman? Thanks a lot!
Hello! I replied and my internet dropped out and I lost it so I'll keep it brief. Thank you for your questions btw, I get your concerns, they are real (and there are likely MANY more if you're anything like me)... No water shortages here in Sardinia. I think this is a southern Italy concern which I have a lot of thoughts about also but grateful to not have that issue here. As for politics and being a single woman here, well I try to focus on believing that I am protected and provided for always. That I will find the right people who care for me and that is all I need. What I notice around me though are open minded and very friendly people, to all, and this small community is quite diverse, more than I anticipated. I'm sure there is deeper trauma to this country that people express in some ways but I haven't witnessed any unrest except when it comes to fighting for their land as the people are very connected to it and many want it to be as natural and protected as possible. I personally don't think you have anything to worry about here but remember that what you focus on is what is present, so if you can choose to believe that you'll be safe and protected no matter where you are and if you can maintain that energy, that will be what you receive. All the best x
Thanks for taking the time to answer even twice! ;) You're so right, these two are just the tip of the iceberg of concerns. Don't get me started about worries regarding healthcare, pension, and whatnot. It's definitely a relief to learn that there is no water shortage in Sardinia, since that would be a no-go for me. And Sardinia is one of those places where I really could imagine to live. So that's good. Regarding politics, your estimation and hearing how you go about it yourself is very valuable to me. I've heard others say the same, that they feel welcome and safe in their immediate surroundings in the countryside. You say the community is more diverse than you expected. That's interesting and it might be a great topic for a video, since we're probably all very curious to learn what kinds of people to expect in a village like yours!
@@FabiWe91 You’re welcome! I do like to reply to everyone if I can! Sardinia is a beautiful place so definitely keep it in mind if you’re thinking about moving. I feel really safe here but I am in a small place. I can’t say I’ve felt unsafe anywhere here though… Thanks also for that feedback, I’ll keep your suggestions in mind!
From what I can see moost 1 Euro houses need a minimum of at least 50,000 Euros to make livable, and moore if you wanna make them special or fancy. I have to say, sometimes the best one are where they are just the shell, and as soon as you remove the rubble from the interior and get a new roof on you can then custom-build a floor plan to your liking, rather than go with whatever plan the property comes with.
@@livinglavitasarda I was initially very interested in Sardinia, its just I plan to travel around a lot in Europe, and since Sardinia is an island getting on and off every time you travel seems irksome and expensive...are the property prices cheaper than in say Molise or Abruzzo?
@@TheMooCowReturns I don't know about the property prices elsewhere. I guess you've got to go with what's most important for you, you know. Follow your heart is my best advice.

Hi,Bianca. I've seen the house you bought at tht beginning of your stay with minimal comfort. Is it your own house that has got a garden? The garden you talk about in this episode? If so,one more lovely addition to it.
Hola🙂he escuchado que los papeles,inspecciones y cosas burocráticas ,sólo éso,son como 10.000€,luego hay que sumarle la mano de obra y los materiales.Yo calculo que al final serían unos 40.000€ ,y según lo que uno quiera de confort,claro.
@@tanyarae.mindbodysoul Hey! Thanks for the question! The current info I have about that is 4 years. I don’t know if it varies from place to place or it’s standard all across Italy as I remember reading 5 years when I was researching years ago but that may be the amount of time you’re required to live in Italy for. Not sure. Either way, it’s plenty of time to make it work. I don’t believe it’s from the time of purchase either but from the time you start the project and the Geometra logs it. Either way, I think it’s enough time 😊.
I hear that it can take up to $100,000 To get it up to snuff and a time limit to do it in, and you can’t stay there for the entire time unless you can get residency through Italian ancestry.
@@pamjacobson6236 There's definitely a LOT to think about when going with a 1 euro house. Sounds like something a bit more move in ready would be up your alley (like it was mine)!
Yes. I don’t think I am wrong. Homes on island Sardinia are less expensive than mainland Italy. This home seems beyond repair. I’ve seen many single euro homes much nicer... with decent roof etc. this to me looked not safe at the wall junctions at all. If you would take place this bad off, it needs everything plus being retrofitted for earthquake. Good 1 euro homes can be found. Very good homes can be found for 19 to 20€. Less as well... but why on earth get something this terrible of condition.... gosh didn’t even have all of its roof. I feel she could find much better 1€ home. I hope she does and will share one day!
Hi, I like your videos, in which town/village in Sardinia do you live/purchased the house? and how did you find workers which renovate for you the whole house? thank you!
@@katarinak.3647 Hi, thank you, I talk about this in other videos… the town is in the north of the island, near sassari and I found workers because I met them here, through the geometra’s recommendation.
That's not been my understanding. To my knowledge, here in Sardegna, it is 4 years... and I don't believe it's from the date of purchase either but when you start construction or when it is logged as the beginning of the project...but I could be wrong. Honestly though, the purpose of the 1 euro/buy a cheap house in italy program is so people can repopulate these areas that have become smaller over the years due to the young people moving away for more opportunity. I don't think they have a problem with people taking their time on the project because most people do this for a new lifestyle. I have heard that there is a 5 year requirement to stay in the town you choose though... what happens if you don't stay? I don't know. I think the other thing is that they don't want people coming in, buying the houses and leaving or using them for holiday homes or to airbnb only. They really are trying to repopulate and create thriving towns again.
Could you knock down everything and rebuild the €1 houses. It would be cheaper. I imagine you only own the building not the land?? I believe you have to use local trades and not do it yourself, it's part of the deal.
You raise some very interesting questions. To my knowledge you own the house and the land it’s on. You dont have to use local trades, there is no stipulation of that anywhere I’ve seen. I don’t know about knocking it down, it would depend on the condition and what it would take to rebuild it… if it’s in the centre of town, it has requirements as to what it looks like to maintain the look of the area, like the tiles on the roof have to be the rounded ceramic ones and the windows and doors have to be aligned and a certain size, colours of the front of house are limited to specific shades and so on…
Never in my life would I buy such a ruin. Before you know it, you've spent a fortune. And you will never get rid of the house again no matter what you do. Because there is a reason why so many are empty and deserted. People move away because there is no work. There are fewer and fewer young people and the elderly may end up in nursing homes or with relatives. And getting craftsmen may not be easy, you have to know the language perfectly because otherwise there will be a lot of misunderstandings about what else needs to be done. Can see many problems. They are ready for demolition. Although you can do a lot yourself, there are still things that require professional people. No, pyj is sweating at the thought of how wild it would be. pure struggle for several years. And you couldn't show it properly either, since they were so miserable.
@@livmaria942 thanks for commenting, it’s definitely not for everyone and it definitely takes a brave and glass half full kind of person to embark on such a journey!
I’ve seen 1 euro homes much better than this. This home is not structurally safe. It’d be the rare person to purchase this 1€ place. I can’t even call it a home!! Too far from it!
That’s kind of the point with a 1 euro house. You’re not buying a structurally safe house generally speaking. But like I said in the video, I don’t know what they’re like elsewhere… but you’re never going to find a house that doesn’t need massive renovations for 1 euro.

In some one euro house, if they are in the historical city center, you can't move walls and have bigger windows. So always look at it first.

Never in my life would I buy such a ruin. Before you know it, you've spent a fortune. And you will never get rid of the house again no matter what you do. Because there is a reason why so many are empty and deserted. People move away because there is no work. There are fewer and fewer young people and the elderly may end up in nursing homes or with relatives. And getting craftsmen may not be easy, you have to know the language perfectly because otherwise there will be a lot of misunderstandings about what else needs to be done. Can see many problems. They are ready for demolition. Although you can do a lot yourself, there are still things that require professional people. No, pyj is sweating at the thought of how wild it would be. pure struggle for several years. And you couldn't show it properly either, since they were so miserable.
@@livmaria942 thanks for commenting, it’s definitely not for everyone and it definitely takes a brave and glass half full kind of person to embark on such a journey!
These places are targeted at people with big assets ,money to spare….otherwise impoverished people would be forming a queue…
I don’t completely agree
@@livinglavitasarda so the homeless prefer the streets? it would be easy for the most impoverished person to get hold of a Euro…
@@griswald7156 The video wasn’t really considering who might buy such a house
@@livinglavitasarda people who can easily afford a Euro..that’s everybody..
I’ve seen 1 euro homes much better than this. This home is not structurally safe. It’d be the rare person to purchase this 1€ place. I can’t even call it a home!! Too far from it!
That’s kind of the point with a 1 euro house. You’re not buying a structurally safe house generally speaking. But like I said in the video, I don’t know what they’re like elsewhere… but you’re never going to find a house that doesn’t need massive renovations for 1 euro.
Eleven minutes of repetition and chit chat before getting to the house.
Thanks for that feedback. Did you see the timestamps below. They're there to guide you to the parts you want to see. I hope that helps!

The house tour start at 10 minutes.
Just suggestion can you reduce talking while sitting time
11 minutes is very long listening the same information
Timing for the house tour is helpful but the other information is not necessary. Most of us actually relate to the OP and find the info ℹ️ being shared very helpful for context. Please, be mindful how you are communicating with others about their content and you can also create your own RUclips channel and share content like what the OP is doing.
Thanks for the feedback. I provide the timestamps in the comments so you have a place you can jump too if you are feeling this way. I hope that helps!
