Lakefront Como, Costa Smeralda, Rome centro, and Milan prime — curated for HNW buyers who need compliance depth, not portal listings.
Quick answer: Foreign buyers drove an estimated €5.5B of Italian residential turnover in 2025 (Scenari Immobiliari), heavily weighted to luxury segments. At €500k+ you compete on scarcity, not yield — expect 2–4% gross unless you accept operational complexity on STR.
