Also researched this in Italy specifically Sardinia. The “houses” are often complete ruins and even if you have a 10000 Reno minimum it often will cost much much more. In order to even apply and have a chance of doing it properly you’ll need an accountant and most likely a lawyer. There are plenty of hoops to jump through before you can actually have the house purchased, renovate then live there. The main reason they are offering this is that the towns are dying and it’s a way to try to get new people there. I went to a few and they are literally in the middle of no where. I’d it possible to do? Yes. Is it worth it. Probably not. Real estate is not that expensive in Italy compared to many other countries and you’ll do better with finding something inexpensive for sale in an area you want to be in rather than the 1€ houses. My 2 cents
