How did you find trusted sources for property in Italy?

Hi everyone,

For those who already bought or seriously renovated property in Italy: how did you actually begin your search, and which sources did you end up trusting?

I鈥檓 especially curious about projects that were not turnkey villas or 鈥溾偓1 house鈥� stories, but more complex properties requiring proper structural, technical and legal due diligence.

I鈥檓 asking because through my work network in Italy I was unexpectedly asked to think about a rather specific case in northern Tuscany. I normally work more on the sourcing/research side and almost never look for buyers directly, so I realized I genuinely don鈥檛 know where serious international buyers actually spend time or how they typically discover opportunities they trust.

So I thought I鈥檇 ask people here who already went through the process: what path did you personally follow, which channels felt credible, and where do thoughtful buyers usually look first?

For both rental and for sale properties start with Idealista.it which has both English and Italian version and lets you focus your search on the location you want. They list both private and those listed with real estate agencies.
