Psst…! Free castle in Italy?

free castle in italy

Do you have two right hands and have you always wanted to have a second home in Italy? Then this is made for you. The Italian government hands out presents. 103 castles and historic villas leave for nothing!

You have to promise to fix it. And then give a boost to tourism. Should work, right?

The idea behind the free castles and villas in Italy is that the Italian government wants to reduce the crowds at the major attractions. Instead, tourism should get underway in all those other beautiful places in Italy. You can transform your free castle or villa into a luxury B&B, restaurant or spa. In this way, those tourists automatically come to the corners where these somewhat dilapidated gems are located.

All you have to do is come up with a good proposal. If you are one of the lucky few to be selected, you can rent your castle for fifty years at a friendly price.
