Sicilian Town Naro Joins €1 House Scheme – What It Means for Expats

What happened

The medieval town of Naro, in Sicily, has launched a scheme selling houses for €1. The initiative was reported by Time Out Lisboa on 27 August 2026. While details are scarce, such programs typically aim to attract new residents to depopulated areas.

Why it matters for international residents

For international residents in Portugal, this could be an opportunity to own a property in Italy at a nominal cost, though renovation and other commitments are usually required. It also reflects a broader trend in southern Europe to revitalize historic towns, which may interest expats considering lifestyle changes.
