DE SIMONE REAL ESTATE
Investing safely in real estate in Italy
De Simone & Partners boasts over 20 years of experience advising Italian individuals and companies in the real estate sector. Today, we bring that same expertise and reliability to international clients looking to invest in property in Italy. Between 2000 and 2010, our team took part in the legal due diligence of major national real estate disposal projects—including ENEL, Telecom, SCIP 1 and 2, and BNL Fondi Immobiliari—analyzing portfolios of hundreds of properties across Italy. This allowed us to develop a rare level of experience and specialization in the market. We authored the “Guide to Real Estate Investment in Italy,” published by the Italian Trade Agency (ICE) in 2008, and we currently serve as legal advisors to the Case 1€ platform, supporting the revitalization of Italian villages through targeted investment programs.
According to data published by Italy’s leading financial newspaper, the country ranks among the top three in Europe for the best investment-to-rental yield ratio. Unlike other major European markets—such as London, Paris, or Amsterdam—Italy has seen stable real estate prices, with no speculative bubbles. Many Italian cities still offer significant opportunities for property value appreciation.
