About this place
This distinctive cascinale spans approximately 500 square metres and is composed of two separate units arranged over three levels: ground floor, first floor, and attic. Nestled on hills in Villongo, the structure retains the traditional charm of a Bergamo farmhouse, featuring charming arcades on the ground floor and loggias on the first floor.
The expansive surrounding land is primarily cultivated with olive groves, allowing for exceptional views of the neighbouring hills. Accessible via major roads, this property is conveniently situated near tourist trails that lead to San Giovanni delle Formiche and the Pitone Park. Given its size and layout, the property is ideally suited for conversion into a restaurant, hotel, or bed & breakfast, or for developers seeking to create multiple residential units.

Buying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
