Italian Coastal and Lakeside Property Prices Rise as Foreign Buyers Flock to Italy

Italy's coastal and lakeside property markets are experiencing a notable uptick, with prices rising by 1.6% and 1.4% respectively in the latter half of 2025, according to a new report from Tecnocasa. The trend underscores the enduring appeal of Italy's picturesque waterfront locations, particularly among foreign buyers.

The Lake Garda area, especially its Veronese shore, saw a significant 4.0% price increase, while the Veneto region led coastal markets with a 3.1% rise. Abruzzo, Puglia, and Campania also posted strong gains, reflecting a broader demand for Italy's diverse coastal offerings.

This growth aligns with Italy's post-pandemic tourism rebound and the global shift toward remote work, which has fueled interest in second homes with lifestyle appeal. The data suggests Italy remains a top destination for those seeking both investment opportunities and la dolce vita.
