Excellent choices, I live in the Tuscia Viterbese and love the place, plus whenever I have guests I can't resist a trip to Villa d'Este. Lazio 20km+ outside the Raccordo is so overlooked by tourists & potential buyers. Cram packed with history & sites to see, how many know of the Amphitheatre and Mithraeum in Sutri or the Etruscan sites on the coast - Tarquinia, Pyrgi, Cerveteri... All sufficently convenient to Rome with its airports but at good prices.
So do I. Excellent prices, beautiful countryside and lake. Downside? Some of the cheaper town have real problems with transport to the biggest town with trains (Viterbo). Also, no easy transport to or from Fiumicino airport.
@@mememe332 Agree, transport could be much better, though I live about 2km from the line into Ostiense and the service while acceptable is extraordinarily cheap.
Thanks for the great info! I could (and do, lol) spend hours sifting through listings of different towns without any idea what the towns are like. Your videos help me get a sense for what type of environment to expect in each place. I had always thought that all of Lazio was well above EUR2,500/sq. mt. I'm happy to see that there are places for all budgets, even in Lazio. If I can make a couple of suggestions, it would be to add chapter markings and labels to your videos and also for each location, discuss the need for a car? Those would be really helpful. Thanks again!
Great Job Giorgio! You show to have a very good knowledge of Rome and its neighbourhoods (may be you are half italian? Did you live in Rome?) . The only point of attention to perspective buyers is that property prices in Rome in semi-central areas reflect also the quality of public transportation. Rome is very big, and public transportation is on its way to improve (with many ups and downs). If you pay a bit less it means usually the connections to the center as well as to the other parts of the city are more problematic, especially as far as the subway is concerned. But what is good is that the City administration is building a new line with new stations with some them become fully available in 2-3 years. The project is moving not so fast as as expected but is moving. Tivoli is really a great pick for who wants to live close to Roma and still not spend too much. Thanks Giorgio! I am looking forward to your next videos and especially the one you will do for Uruguay!
Many thanks again brasileiro69 for your feedback. Yes I am half Italian and I did a Master in Rome when I was a student so that also answers the question about living in Rome. I do love the city but so often it has been badly run. I am pleased you agree with me about Tivoli. I think it is more often than not overlooked by foreign property buyers.
Some of your choices here coincide with the lower Italian tax rate for expats, which is good. Lazio is a great choice because of that. I had been looking in Abruzzo but I'm now thinking closer to Rome, where I fly into. Thanks for the information packed videos! Jackie
The only down side to your videos is the overwhelming amount of real estate options. I thought I knew specifically which cities I was interested in purchasing property to retire, but you have presented other markets that I never considered previously. One city that has always been in my top 5 is Florence. I would be interested in your analysis of different parts of the city, as well towns outside of Florence city limits. Thanks, Giorgio!
Hi Giorgio, thanks for all the great videos! I was wondering what 3-5 cities/types of property (to be rented out either short- or long-term) around the globe you think warrant the most serious consideration right now, to deliver the best returns (taking into account both annual return and appreciation as well as mortgage rates/availability, taxes, regulations etc.) over a 4-5 year time horizon, for a non-EU citizen. Kind of wondering if markets hit by low tourism over the past few years plus temporary exclusion of Russian / Chinese tourists / buyers might offer some potentially attractive opportunities now. Or maybe there are some under-the-radar gems that will gain in popularity over the next few years?
Great video. We loved Siena. Can you think of a place near the sea with a historical center similar to Siena's within about an hour rail to Rome - or other international airport closer to the central region?
Thank you. Siena is pretty unique and you would be hard pressed to find anything like it. I guess Frascati could be an option. Lucca is not too far from the sea and just over an hour from Florence.
@@Shodo91 Your actually not the first person to tell me this but the contrarian view is that prices are cheap,there is good GDP growth and taxes are very low e.g. rental income tax with generous deductions.
Great information. You’ve given me a lot to think about! I’d love to know, with all the beautiful places in Italy, what would be your top choice if you could only pick one?
Many thanks. A very tough decision. I made a video on what I believe are the top 10 places to buy. It is in the link below. www.youtube.com/@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375/videos
I like Cerveteri but with prices at nearly 2000 Euros per sqm on average I think it is a little on the expensive side considering its size. Formia although a bit more expensive offers more facilities and is more accessible by public transport.
Sorry but you really missed the mark by only naming cities, particularly touristy spots, and not looking at the beautiful towns in Lazio like Fiuggi, Arpino and Isola del Liri, all of which have average real estate values under 1000 Euros per square meter. Now, those places really are a good value for the money.
If you want to live in a very small town/village these places are fantastic value for money but I think most people want to buy in larger towns/cities where there are more facilities. Perhaps a video on the best small towns to buy in Lazio might be an idea.
@@EricOnRUclips Rome is not that big and I've never felt lonely there, it's always buzzing. I've an Italian friend who lives near Piazza Navona and loves living in the town, saying that walking out of the front door is like instantly being on holiday.
What are they like leaving to live off buy. Lecce, Oppido, Mornertina, Lazzar, Ostuni, Salice, Bernalda, Maglie, Sersale, Santa Maria di Leuca, San Carlo

@Save and Invest with Giorgio Loukas where do you advise to invest to get 7-8% rental income to qualify for d7?

Many thanks Patrick. Lazio is a lovely region of Italy.

Great information. I can’t decide between Lazio or Umbria. I’d like to be no more than an hour aways from Rome.
Many thanks for your kind feedback. There are just too many choices which can sometimes making a final decision difficult.
Interesting, Giorgo. Please include shopping facilities. Thanks 😊
😀
Great choices.
Many thanks
Great video!
Many thanks
Man…thank you for all the information. What is your oppinion on Romania ? Thank you.
Many thanks. I am generally very positive about Romania in particular Bucharest.
@@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375 wow! We,Romanians have hate for real estate in our country,we say it’s very expensive.

What about Cerveteri? Close to Rome and trains to the airport
I like Cerveteri but with prices at nearly 2000 Euros per sqm on average I think it is a little on the expensive side considering its size. Formia although a bit more expensive offers more facilities and is more accessible by public transport.
What about Lanuvio?
Nothing wrong with Lanuvio but a little too small and prices are not amazingly cheap.

Lago Bracciano?
Lovely lake but the towns around are small and not that cheap e.g. Trevignano prices are well over 2000 Euros per sqm on average.
I am extremely surprised by Rome in the list.
Why Eric. I do say though it is not an investment opportunity.
@@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375 Well, I associate very large cities with stress and loneliness. I will stick with small cities :)
@@EricOnRUclips OK fair enough. I think there are people who do like big cities.
