Savvy property investors are always looking for emerging opportunities. Whether you’re seeking capital growth, lifestyle value, or a foothold in an appreciating market—Summer 2025 offers compelling choices across continents. Here’s our pick of where to look next—including some surprising under-the-radar gems.
ITALY – A Timeless Investment With Fresh Momentum
Italy is no longer just a dream destination—it’s also becoming a strategic investment choice. With property prices still undervalued compared to other Western European nations and an unmatched lifestyle offering, Italy is drawing increasing attention by the wealthy.
Key reasons why Italy stands out in 2025:
• Stable Eurozone entry point: Safe investment within the EU, ideal for diversification.
• Golden Visa alternative: Attractive residency options for non-EU buyers.
• Tourism rebound: Rental yields rising in key areas like Rome, Florence, and the coasts.
• Tax incentives: Generous flat tax schemes for high-net-worth individuals and retirees.
Spotlight on Sardinia: We’re proud to announce that Immobiliare Sarda has joined the JUWAI IQI network as our exclusive local expert. This experienced team offers direct access to premium Sardinian properties—luxury coastal villas, traditional farmhouses (stazzi), and off-market land deals.
