How do I find a place to live in Italy?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"We used a realtor selected by the company. After looking at around 50 apartments (one deal fell through and we had to start all over again) we were lucky enough to find an apartment in the exclusive old city. We were very fortunate," commented one expat who made the move to Bergamo, Italy.

"Finding a place to live in Italy can be an exciting yet daunting task, but with a few steps, you can make the process smoother. Begin by deciding on the region or city you want to live in, as Italy offers diverse options from the bustling cities like Rome and Milan to the serene countryside of Tuscany or the coastal towns of Amalfi. Once you have a location in mind, start researching online through real estate websites such as Idealista, Immobiliare.it, and Casa.it. These platforms list a variety of properties for rent and sale, and you can filter your search by price, size, and other preferences," wrote Jake Barber from SJB Global.
