A Rare Opportunity for UK Buyers

With its generous living space, landscaped gardens, and scope for luxury upgrades, this villa represents outstanding value compared to equivalent properties in the UK.

Why Move to Italy?

Beyond its beauty, culture, and relaxed lifestyle, Italy also offers compelling financial benefits for UK residents. Retirees transferring their pensions to Italy can access a 7% flat tax regime (for up to 10 years) when relocating to certain regions, making it highly attractive for those seeking a cost-effective retirement abroad. For high-net-worth individuals or those with significant income from outside Italy, the country also provides an optional flat tax scheme-a fixed annual payment that simplifies taxation and can substantially reduce liabilities compared to UK rates. Combined with a lower cost of living, excellent healthcare, and direct UK-Italy connections (including flights from London Stansted to Pescara), moving to Italy offers both a lifestyle upgrade and long-term financial advantages.
