Naro, Sicilia, joins Italian towns selling homes for 1 euro

The medieval town of Naro, in Sicily's Agrigento province, has joined the growing list of Italian municipalities offering homes for 1 euro. The initiative, backed by the local Comune di Naro, aims to revitalize the historic center, combat depopulation, and boost tourism. Source: Euronews (Español)

The offer

• Homes are listed as "needing renovation," including a three-bedroom house with views of the historic area. Source: Euronews (Español)
• Buyers must cover notarial fees, registration and cadastral taxes, and renovation costs, ensuring compliance with safety, landscape, and urban planning regulations. Source: Euronews (Español)
• Applications are submitted via the online platform Case 1 Euro Naro, available in multiple languages, open to Italians and foreigners. Source: Euronews (Español)

The catch

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The symbolic price of one euro does not include a luxury villa; all properties require significant work. Buyers must also complete renovations within a likely deadline. Source: Euronews (Español)

Beyond the deal

Naro offers more than cheap real estate: a historic center with Baroque architecture, the Chiaramontano castle, and the open-air museum MAN, created after a 2005 landslide. Visitors can also enjoy local delicacies like cassata and pasta reale. Source: Euronews (Español)
