Bordered by France to the west and Toscana to the east, the region offers a climate that is among the mildest in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Liguria boasts a rich cultural history - it was home to ancient Greek and Roman civilisations, and later a powerful maritime republic in the Middle Ages. You can still see this heritage in its architecture, gastronomy and local lifestyle. The famous pesto alla genovese, focaccia and fresh fish from the Ligurian sea are just a few culinary highlights.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button alert\" style=\"border-radius:99px;\">\n\t\t<span>Get in touch<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-848645722\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_502874745\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:100%;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mijnhuisinitalie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Foto-Liguria-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mijnhuisinitalie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Foto-Liguria-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.mijnhuisinitalie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Foto-Liguria-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_502874745 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-1222975951 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1547780809 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n  padding-bottom: 60px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_317580075\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1623247444\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-164430209\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2><strong>Quality of life and lifestyle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Liguria's appeal lies in more than just the view of the sea:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mediterranean lifestyle:<\/strong> relaxed pace, healthy cuisine, and lots of outdoor living.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Climate:<\/strong> mild winters and warm summers without the extreme heat of more southern regions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nature:<\/strong> of the steep cliffs of the <strong>Cinque Terre<\/strong> to green valleys and hiking trails in the Apennines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Access:<\/strong> good train connections to northern Italy and France, an airport in Genova (with direct flights to Schiphol Airport) and relatively short drives to major airports such as Nice or Milan.

However, property prices are a lot lower if we go a little more inland or look near lesser-known coastal towns such as Moneglia and Sori.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Average property prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to recent property data, the average sale price of residential properties in Liguria is around <strong>\u20ac2,700-\u20ac3,200 per square metre<\/strong> for residential property in 2026, slightly higher than the Italian national average.<\/p>\n<p>On the coast, this average price is higher:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Premium coastal locations<\/strong> such as Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino and luxury villas around the Riviera can see prices well above <strong>\u20ac4,000-\u20ac10,000+ per m\u00b2<\/strong> - in exceptional cases even towards the <strong>\u20ac15,000-\u20ac20,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong> for highly exclusive homes.<\/li>\n<li>In more accessible coastal resorts such as Rapallo, Sestri Levante or Alassio, prices are usually between <strong>\u20ac3,000 and \u20ac8,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong> for quality homes with sea views.<\/li>\n<li>Urban areas such as <strong>Genoa<\/strong> themselves have more variety: from <strong>\u20ac1,500-\u20ac4,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong> for flats in different neighbourhoods, to higher values for renovated properties with sea views.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By comparison, for Italy as a whole, the average house price is around <strong>\u20ac2.631\/m\u00b2 \u00b1<\/strong> (depending on year and region), keeping Liguria slightly above the national average.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Inland vs. coastal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The big difference, of course, is between the expensive coast and the <strong>domestic countryside<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In charming, quiet mountain villages in the Ligurian hills - such as Triora, Perinaldo, Dolceacqua or Montalto Ligure - you will find houses with prices often <strong>well below the coast price<\/strong>, sometimes around or even below the <strong>\u20ac1,000-\u20ac2,000 per m\u00b2<\/strong> For properties to be renovated.<\/li>\n<li>These distinctive villages are very attractive for those looking to integrate into authentic Italian life, and also offer a price level much lower than on the sun-drenched coast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_317580075 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n  padding-bottom: 60px;\n  background-color: rgba(230,222,212,0.36);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_153867463\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-1640002768\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-240001413\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2><strong>Why real estate in Liguria can be a good investment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Liguria offers several reasons why investing in property here can make wise financial choices:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong> Scarcity and geographical constraints<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The region simply has little building space - mountains on one side and sea on the other - which means new construction is rare and because scarce commodity remains.
