Why people choose Varese
The town has a Sacro Monte, a UNESCO-listed pilgrimage route above it, along with Villa Panza and a lakeside promenade. Trains run to Milan and to Malpensa airport, and commuters to Milan and Switzerland form a large part of demand. Como is the other big lakeside city nearby, while Milan offers the job market. Novara and Pavia are in the plain to the south and west, Bergamo lies to the east and Biella is in the Piedmont foothills; each is its own market, not a walking neighbour.
Italian purchase notes
Non-EU buyers need reciprocity with their country in order to buy. Registration tax is 2% for a primary residence and 9% for a second home on cadastral value, with notary and agent fees on top. Frontier-zone workers who live in Italy and work in Switzerland may find rental markets competitive. Commission is typically paid by both sides. Always check the planning status of a villa before signing. Our Italy buying guide, mortgage page and Italy overview provide the process.
