The sea and the mountains come together to make one of the world’s most unique landscapes.
Green region of Europe
There is a unique place in the world, where the sea blends with the mountains through love ...... This place is Abruzzo.
The Sea and the Mountain merge to give a unique scenery in the world.
Each area of Abruzzo offers a variety of colours, natural scenery, perfumes and unparalleled emotions. For this We, who live and work in this wonderful and marvelous region, offer the opportunity to anyone, to enjoy this privilege: ... ... "to live in Abruzzo"
133 kilometres of coastline, with golden beaches and pine woods, cliffs, peninsulas and secluded coves full of pebbles which have been shaped by the waves, animated beaches and festivities and solitary beaches where you can relax in peace: the coast of Abruzzo is all this, plus you will find the proverbial hospitality of the Abruzzesi people. During the summer, the seaside resorts of the Abruzzo coast offer fun-filled, peaceful holidays. The abundant friendliness, the good cuisine, thousands of restaurants, the kindness of the people, the quiet security of the area, all make Abruzzo the ideal destination for an intelligent holiday. From June to September, the Abruzzo coast comes alive with all sorts of events: music, theater, ballet, concerts, exhibitions, sporting events, cultural events. For the guests of Abruzzo there is only the embarrassment of choice, with wide range of events, all excellent.
The noble and raw Gran Sasso, with its clear limestone rock, dominates the Apennines; just below the north face of the Corno Grande we find the Calderone, the only glacier in the Apennines and the southernmost in Europe. To the south of the massif extends the boundless plain of Campo Imperatore, located at 1800 metres above sea level. The Monti della Laga are rich in springs, waterways and forests. La Maiella, linked to the Morrone massif, dominates the Abruzzo landscape rising up between the sea and the Apennine range; from time immemorial it represents, for the Abruzzese people, the mother mountain. Between the mountains and the sea, the hilly landscape shows evident signs of its continuous evolution, where the erosion of jagged clay rocks called ‘calanchi’, cut through the roundness of the horizon.
A world of snow in the heart of the Mediterranean
The major ski resorts of the entire Apennines, hundreds of kilometers of slopes, excellent snow standards, state-of-the-art and functional facilities, a network of efficient and complete integrative structures and services: for snow lovers, Abruzzo has no longer limits.
Known throughout the world for its nature, Abruzzo exhibits, like a large open-air museum without timetables; walls, works of art and monuments in its distinct and intact landscape. Amongst the famous places, such as the fortress of Calascio, the extraordinary historical centre of Pescocostanzo, the National Archaeological Museum of Chieti, the mighty sixteenth-century castle of L'Aquila, there are also dozens of lesser-known wonders scattered in every corner of the region, to thrill visitors. The restoration of churches and castles, the arrangement and enhancement of archaeological sites and hermitages, the birth of small and large museums and the new visitor centres in the Parks, ensure that the list of things to see is extended every year. This is also part of the great charm of the "green region" of Italy.
Abruzzo, the ideal gym for your passions
To the growing development of active tourism, sport and adventure, Abruzzo responds by playing the winning card, with its powerful nature, its uncontaminated territories, its thousand paths between gorges, streams, castles, hermitages, peaks, plateaus, woods, ancient villages: an exciting mix for holidays, away from the usual places.
Mediterranean in its ingredients and aromas, creative in the variety and originality of the most typical dishes and products, from the peasant and pastoral roots of its own tradition, the Abruzzese cuisine has been able to draw the ability to be both poor and noble, distilling ancient flavours, with sumptuous simplicity.
As well as the traditional dishes, Abruzzo offers a choice of typical products as much refined as unusual, like its wines and oils, appreciated by connoisseurs from around the world.
Is there a better way to take away the best of Abruzzo?
For many centuries, authors described Abruzzo and its people as "strong and kind. " Hospitality is infinite, and for the local people it is natural and spontaneous to help those in need. It is really difficult to find people like people are in this region: hospitable, friendly, spontaneous, heartfelt ...
The Abruzzese people are people that you can count on, people that opens doors and make you feel at home….
In the extreme variety of its natural habitats (marine, rivers and lakes, wooded areas, mountains, high altitudes), Abruzzo is today, more than ever, an extraordinary biological laboratory for the conservation of nature and ecosystems. A farsighted choice, which projects Abruzzo in the role of an absolute leader in the field of "green tourism".
In Abruzzo, nature is a protected resource. With a third of its territory destined to parks, the region not only expresses a cultural and civil primacy in the protection of the environment, but it is placed as the greatest naturalistic area of Europe, the true green heart of the Mediterranean.
For a relaxing holiday
Our support
The first step to do after finding your ideal home, in order to get to the final act, is to make a purchase offer, in writing, addressed to the seller and to pay a small deposit, usually by cheque, made payable to the owner, or by bank transfer.
The real estate agent will fill out the form, which is written by the estate agency, inserting all the conditions relating to the sale. It contains precise promises made to the seller, by the potential buyer, including data and conditions for the purchase, such as: address and description of the property, cadastral data, price, terms and conditions of payment, the date for the preliminary signing, the date for the notarial deed, and the date by when the seller must accept the offer.
If the seller accepts your conditions (written acceptance) both parties will be bound to complete the sale as established in the offer and the seller will cash your cheque or bank transfer, usually equal to 5% of the agreed price, which will become the deposit.
In case of non-acceptance the seller, through the real estate agent, will return the amount paid. From that moment you are free to walk away the deal or you can reformulate a new proposal with the same procedure as the previous one.
The preliminary contract of sale (also called compromesso) is an agreement by which both parties promise to conclude a future contract (notarial deed) in which all the conditions set out in the purchase proposal are reported and extended.
In the compromesso, it must be clearly indicated, the identity of both parties, the characteristics and cadastral data of the property, the cost and payment methods, the date of signing the deed, when the transfer of ownership occurs.
Furthermore, it must be indicated that the house will be sold without burdens, liens or mortgages and is completely in order with town planning regulations.
At the preliminary contract, a further deposit is paid, usually equal to 15% of the agreed price, as a deposit.
The notarial deed is the final act of the sale and is signed before a notary and the interested parties (seller and buyer).
Beforehand, the notary performs all the checks relating to the property for sale (cadastral checks, mortgage checks, etc.), draws up the deed that is signed in his presence and then performs the registration by paying the relative taxes, registers the documents, and carries out the cadastral transfer.
If there is a mortgage, a separate act for the mortgage is signed at this time, and the notary will record the bank as the mortgage lender.
At the time of the deed, the final payment is made, of the price of the property, plus the relative notary costs and taxes.
Below is a table of taxes payable on the purchase of a property:
Tax summary
| Tax | Primary Residence | Secondary Residence | |
| Purchase from a private seller | |||
| Registration Tax | 2% of cadastral value * | 9% of cadastral value | |
| Local Tax | Euro 50,00 | Euro 50,00 | |
| Stamp Duty | Euro 50,00 | Euro 50,00 | |
| Purchase from a constructor | |||
| VAT | 4% of purchase price | 10% of purchase price | |
| Registration Tax | Euro 200,00 | Euro 200,00 | |
| Local Tax | Euro 200,00 | Euro 200,00 | |
| Stamp Duty | Euro 200,00 | Euro 200,00 |
When buying a house, it is necessary to bear in mind the notary costs. If a loan is required, two deeds must be signed.
The fees for the two acts (purchase deed and mortgage deed) and the taxes due to the State (registration taxes and fixed taxes) vary according to the type of deed, and to the amount of the bank's mortgage. Therefore, it is always advisable to request a detailed estimate of the various costs.
Certificates
The A.P.E. (previously known as A.C.E.) is the document that describes the energetic characteristics of a building, house or apartment. It summarizes the energy performance of the building with a scale from A4 to G (10-letter scale). When buying or renting a property, this certificate must be supplied by the seller and it is useful as a guide to the energy consumption of the property. It is issued by a qualified and registered technician.
Notary
The notary is a freelance professional and, at the same time, a public official. The notary, by law, cannot act in the interest of one of the parties to the detriment of other. This duty of impartiality exists even when the notary is chosen by one of the parties (this choice is, as a rule, carried out by the buying party).
The notary guarantees the validity and effectiveness of the act. With the aid of the notary, appropriate guarantees can be established to protect the interests of the clients.

Trying to understand the Italian tax system can be rather daunting, so we have written a simple guide, to outline the basics.
Both of these are tax values that are given to property and land. They are very closely linked and are used to calculate the taxes, both when you buy a property and also when you pay the annual council tax.
The "Rendita Catastale" is a figure given to property, calculated using various factors, such as the size of the property, the materials used, the year it was built, etc. If you buy a property and then carry out a renovation project, the rendita catastale will change once the project has been completed.
From this figure, it is possible to find out the "Valore Catastale", which is used to calculate purchase taxes. Usually the valore catastale of a property is around 50% - 75% of the market value of the property, or even less.
NB.
The rendita catastale is fixed for each property, but the equation to find the valore catastale changes slightly depending on whether the property will be bought as a primary residence or second home.

Buying a property as your main residence (when the seller is a private individual)
If you are buying a property in Italy with the intention of applying for residency within 18 months of purchase, you are entitled to a tax incentive, paying 2%, instead of the usual 9%, of the valore catastale (unless the property is classified as a luxury property and in this case the tax is 9%) This tax is called the "Imposta di Registro", or registration tax. In addition, there are 2 small taxes of 50 euros each to pay – imposte ipotecarie and catastali – which are a mortgage tax and stamp duty.
Buying a property as a second home or holiday home(when the seller is a private individual)
If you are buying a property, but will not be making it your main residence within 18 months, you will pay the 9% tax rate on the valore catastale. In addition, you will pay the 2 small taxes of 50 euros, for stamp duty and mortgage tax.
NB. If you declare that you will become resident within 18 months of the purchase, but don’t do so, you will be liable to pay the difference in the 2% and 9% tax, plus a fine of 20% of this amount. The tax office has 5 years in which to ask for this money, from the date of the purchase.
Buying a property from a developer or constructor(when the property has been completed within 5 years of the purchase)
As your main residence – you pay 4% of the purchase price, plus 200 euros registration tax, 200 euros mortgage tax and 200 euros stamp duty.
As a second home – you pay 10% of the purchase price (unless the property is classified as a luxury property, in which case you pay 22% of the purchase price).
Plus, you pay 200 euros registration tax, 200 euros mortgage tax and 200 euros stamp duty.
If you buy a property from a developer or constructor, but the property has been completed more than 5 years ago, the taxes are calculated in the same way as for a private individual.
Agricultural Land
The tax for agricultural land is 12% of the declared value of the land. However, if the land surrounds the property, it is possible to pay the tax on the tax value of the land, in the same way as the house.
A note from us - as soon as you have decided on the property that you wish to buy, we will obtain a quote for you from the notary, including all the taxes.
TARI (previously known as TARES, TARSU and TIA)
TARI is the rubbish collection tax. It is calculated based on the size of your property and the number of inhabitants.
There is a discount for non-residents. The tax is calculated by the comune and bills will be sent out to each property.
IMU (previously known as ICI)
IMU is the annual council tax, which is payable in June and December. You pay for the previous months, so in June, you are paying for January to June, and in December you are paying for July – December. The IMU tax is calculated, using the Rendita Catastale of the property. The rate used for the calculation is higher for non-residents than residents. In fact, residents are currently exempt from paying the tax (as long as all of their property is classed as their main residence). The rate can vary from year to year, and each comune decides on the rate it will use (within perimeters set by the government).
NB. Your comune will not send you out a bill for the tax. They will inform you (by way of posters at the comune, if not by personal letter) of the deadline to pay and, also, of the rates that are to be used to calculate the tax. However, you can go along to the comune yourself and ask someone to calculate the tax for you.
A
Note from us
If you are unable to be here, or just don’t want the trouble of dealing with it, this is one of the services that we offer our clients.
We can calculate the taxes, complete the forms and pay the bills for you.
TASI is a new tax that was introduced in 2014, and is payable in June and December, in the same way as IMU tax, using the rendita catastale. It was introduced to cover ‘indivisible services’, which means services used by all citizens, such as street lighting and road maintenance (as opposed to services such as school transport, which are only used by certain people). From 2016, properties registered as a main residence are exempt from this tax. Again, bills are not sent out to individual homes and it is each person’s responsibility to pay the bill on time, and correctly. Along with the IMU tax, we can help you with these taxes.
If you are selling a property in Italy, there are 2 taxes which you may be liable to pay, if you have owned the property for less than 5 years.
If you are selling within 5 years of having purchased a property where you have had residency, you should re-purchase another property in Italy within 1 year of the sale, otherwise you will lose the tax benefits of the original purchase.
If you are selling within 5 years of having purchased a property, and you sell for a higher price than the purchase price, you will have to pay capital gains tax (but, any costs for renovation and improvements to the property can be used to offset the tax, as long as there are invoices for the work).
