One of the biggest questions when planning a move to Italy is also one of the most personal: Where do you actually want to live?
During this week's Move to Italy Bootcamp, we spent time talking about how to narrow down the right town, province, or region, and how that decision connects to another big question: renting or buying?
If you missed the Bootcamp, the replays are available through Tuesday, September 22, so there's still time to catch up and explore these topics in more detail: www.youtube.com//streams 🎥
And as you think about where you might want to live, it can be helpful to see what's actually available in different parts of the country.
Our featured property this week is Castello degli Stendardi, a four-level historic palace in Tuscany. The property has a panoramic tower overlooking the Chianti hills and Valdambra, along with three additional apartments, a private saltwater pool, garden, gym, and mature olive grove. It's priced at €2,800,000 and is one of our many collaborating listings.

But Tuscany is just one possibility. This week's selection also includes:
- Liguria: A thoughtfully renovated former mill in the medieval village of Zuccarello, with a unique riverfront setting (€400k)
- Southern Lazio: A beautifully restored historic country house at the foot of San Donato Val di Comino (€345k)
- Basilicata: An 18th-century former monastery in Pietragalla, carefully restored while retaining its historic character (€300k)
There are also long-term rental apartments in this week's selection, with monthly rents from €400 to €1,300.
There isn't one right answer when it comes to where or how to live in Italy. The right choice depends on what you're looking for, your plans, and what works for your circumstances.
