Approaching a life project in Sardinia requires a clear understanding of a specific legal and tax framework that is often underestimated.
For international buyers, these aspects directly affect the feasibility, structure, and overall coherence of a real estate project.
This Taxation & Legal Framework section brings together articles designed to clarify the key issues related to purchasing property and settling in Sardinia — elective residence visas, residency status, purchase procedures, and the legal framework governing real estate transactions — in order to approach a property search in a structured and secure manner.
The objective is not to replace legal or tax advice, but to enable buyers to approach their property search with a clear understanding of the underlying issues from the outset.
These considerations are integrated from the earliest stages of the property search, ensuring the coherence of the project before any property selection takes place.
Moving to Sardinia is never just a change of address.
It is often the outcome of a long, sometimes quiet reflection, shaped by the desire to slow down and reconnect with a more authentic relationship to time, place, and human connection.
For many of our international clients, this reflection begins with a simple yet essential question: do I truly have the legal right to live in Italy over the long term?
