M GROUP INTERNATIONAL / THE DESTINATION EDIT
A life with a sense of place.
A morning inside Lucca’s walls. An afternoon in the Tuscan countryside. A city address shaped by design. The Italian search begins with the rhythm you want to come home to.
Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
THE M GROUP PERSPECTIVE
A home in Italy can be an immersion in a neighbourhood or a retreat from it. Before choosing a style of property, decide how much of daily life you want within walking distance. A beautiful rural setting and a convenient base for regular short visits are different briefs.

PLACES TO EXPLORE
01 / Lucca & Tuscany
Lucca’s walled historic centre offers a compact introduction to Tuscan life, with squares, churches and everyday shopping woven together. Beyond the city, a country estate changes the balance towards land, gardens and hosting. Compare an apartment you can close up easily with the year-round care a larger property needs.
Explore the Italy selection ↓02 / Milan
Milan brings fashion, business and culture into the same property search. Start with the neighbourhood and the route you would take every morning. For an apartment, look beyond the reception rooms: light, sound insulation, lift access and the shared building can matter just as much.
Explore the Italy selection ↓03 / The Tuscan countryside
A rural address makes the setting part of the home. Think through the trip to shops, access after dark, and how the house works outside the holiday season. The right estate should suit the weeks you actually plan to spend there, as well as the visits you imagine hosting.

LIFE IN ITALY
Quality of life
Test the place through simple routines: buying groceries, meeting friends and returning home in the evening. For a second home, ease of arrival and reliable local care deserve a place beside architecture on the shortlist.
Food & culture
Italy is best approached through its local traditions. Lucca pairs its historic fabric with a strong food culture; Milan offers a different, urban lens. Let the neighbourhood’s cafés, shops and cultural life help define the search.
Seasonality
Spend time in the property in a quieter season if you can. Heating, shade, damp, storage and access all deserve attention. A summer terrace tells only part of the story of owning a home throughout the year.
THE INFORMED BUYER
Ownership, residence and the realities of looking after a home.
Ask a notary to confirm your eligibility and the transaction structure early. Italy’s National Council of Notaries distinguishes between EU and other buyers and provides guidance for foreign nationals. Have title, planning records and the proposed contract reviewed before committing.
Build a property-specific budget covering purchase taxes, professional fees, annual ownership costs and any rental plans. Ask how the intended use of the home and your residence status affect the figures; avoid relying on a single headline tax rate.
For a historic home, make permitted works part of the first conversation. Ask the local advisers which planning, conservation and rental rules apply to the exact property. A renovation ambition should be checked against what can actually be approved.
Editorial guidance reviewed September 25, 2026. Tax, residence and ownership requirements depend on individual circumstances. Confirm the current position with qualified local advisers before committing.
