ℹ️ Honest notes on this programme
Sicily is the original home of the €1 house movement — Gangi started it in 2014 and Sambuca di Sicilia went viral in 2019. The programme has been extremely successful: Mussomeli alone has sold 250+ properties to foreign buyers. The combination of spectacular history, food, weather, and property prices makes Sicily the most popular destination for €1 house buyers.
