Everyone wants a home in Southern Italy but not everyone wants to get their hands dirty and renovate.

Here's one ready for you: 350m² (3,767 sq ft) in Sicily, minutes from the beach. €318k ($369k) 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Built in the early 1900s. 350m² (3,767 sq ft) across three floors, currently divided into 3 independent units - each with its own kitchen and bathroom. Plus an internal courtyard with parking.

The top floor opens onto a panoramic terrace with views of Mount Etna, the Ionian Sea, and across to Calabria. There are also 2 unrenovated rooms on the second floor that retain original period details - bonus space if you want to expand.

Live in one unit and rent out the other two, or convert the whole building into a boutique guesthouse? What would you do with it?Image

If this Modernista palace was in Barcelona, it would cost €3M+ easy.

But because it's in Borriana (Valencia), it just hit the market for €180k ($209k).

~600m² of history, 1920s ironwork, and 12 bedrooms.

(more info+pics in 🧵) Image
Image
Image
The architecture is pure Valencian Art Nouveau.

~600m² spread over three floors with a central lightwell that floods the whole house with sun.

12 beds/4 baths, and details you can't easily replicate nowadays..original hydraulic tiles, stained glass, and hand carved joinery.

To me, it screams boutique hotel or co-working space. Imagine hosting tech hackathons or artist retreats here.

It needs work, but the bones are incredible.Image

300+ days of sun a year. Total privacy. Yet just 20 minutes from the beach.

4-bed country villa in Alicante.

Not a bad price either: €349k ($412k) 🧵 Image
Image
The furniture would do well with a refresh but it does come with A/C.

Outside, you get a pool, a shaded gazebo, and mature fruit trees on a private 2,500 m² (~0.62 acre) plot. Image

When people ask me for a cheaper alternative to Tuscany, I tell them to look at Umbria.

Same rolling hills, same stone farmhouses, same stunning sunsets. Half the price 🧵 Image This 19th-century stone farmhouse just dropped for €460k ($538k). In Tuscany? You're looking at closer to €1M+ easy for something similar.

210 sqm (2,260 sq ft) - with exposed beams, handmade terracotta floors, and original stone details. Image

Finding a house with private beach access in a protected area is nearly impossible. This one just became available.

€790k ($926k) on Elba Island 🧵 Image
Image
The house sits in a protected nature reserve, which means the beach stays empty year-round. Walk 2 minutes through your private garden and you're on pristine sand with crystal-clear waters. Image

Have you ever seen a house with its own waterfall in the backyard? This Portuguese place has that plus solar power and 4 acres for €280k ($330k). Image
Image
The waterfall isn't just nearby - it's literally on your property. Stone steps lead you down through terraced gardens to your own private cascade. This is actually insane. Image

You won't see another house like this one. Getting there requires commitment: 1km on foot or arrival by sea.

The reward? Your own secret bay on Elba Island (Tuscan Archipelago) 🧵 Image
Image
The adventure starts 3km from Marciana Marina on Elba's rugged north coast. Drive 2km up a paved mountain road, park in a small public lot, then walk 1km along an unlit path through Mediterranean wilderness.

For the bold? Arrive by small boat directly to your private bay. Image

At €390k ($435k), this is likely the cheapest canal-side property in all of Venice - a city where waterfront real estate typically costs millions. Image
Image
This isn't just a rare price point - it's a slice of authentic Venetian life.

Imagine waking up to gondoliers singing beneath your window, the gentle splash of oars in water, and sunlight dancing on centuries-old stone walls. Image
