    The Basics

    Overview

    Our Analysis

    This is a premium reconstruction project on a high-exposure site overlooking the iconic Hanbury Gardens. While the 'luxury' label is used, you are essentially buying a construction site with significant structural constraints mandated by local planning. It is realistically for a buyer with the patience for Italian building bureaucracy who wants a trophy coastal view without the isolation of the deep countryside.

    Next Steps

    Questions to ask

    1. Does the €1.4M price include the full completion of the villa or is it sold in its current state?
    2. Can you provide the 'computo metrico' (detailed cost estimate) for the remaining works?
    3. Is the swimming pool permit final and has the 'oneri di urbanizzazione' (urbanization fee) been paid?
