Apartments and Villas for Sale in Brescia

Brescia has a Roman forum, the Santa Giulia monastery, a UNESCO-listed Lombard site, and the Piazza della Loggia. It shared the Italian Capital of Culture title with Bergamo in 2023. The Franciacorta wine area and Lake Iseo lie nearby, and Lake Garda is about 30 minutes away. Milan is under an hour by fast train. Local industry is metalworking and engineering, so demand is from professionals and families, not holidaymakers.

Foreign buyers need an Italian tax code, and non-EU buyers are subject to reciprocity. An offer is followed by a preliminary contract and a notarial deed. Registration tax on resale is 2% for a main residence and 9% for other homes, based on cadastral value. Have a surveyor check planning permits. See our Italy consultation guide, financing guide and the Italy page.

Older apartment buildings in the centre may be subject to heritage rules, and condominium meetings (assemblea) decide on shared works that can lead to extra charges. Ask for the energy performance certificate (APE) and a cadastral survey, and compare the cadastral value with the price. Hillside and lakeside villas may include land parcels with separate rules, so a geometra (surveyor) should confirm that extensions are legal.

Desenzano del Garda is the lake resort. Bergamo, Verona, Milan, Piacenza and Parma are all within day-trip distance.
