Hi again, future European homeowner!
When you first decide you want to buy a property in Europe, you enter what we lovingly call the "Google Phase."
You spend hours reading conflicting blog posts from 2014 about Spanish property taxes. You find yourself deep in a Reddit thread at 1 AM trying to decode Italian visa requirements from a user named PizzaLover88. You piece together a master plan based entirely on rumors, translation apps, and unverified Facebook group comments.
It is exhausting, and it is a terrible way to buy real estate.
If you are serious about making the move, you have to graduate from the Google Phase. You need to sit in a room with actual humans - professionals who navigate European bureaucracy every single day - and ask them your specific, hyper-personal questions.
That is exactly why we built the AH SI Retreat. And with less than three weeks to go, we are packing our bags.
THE AH SI RETREAT: LESS THAN THREE WEEKS TO GO!
13 to 17 October 2026 · Agriturismo Sant'Angelo, Val di Chiana, Tuscany
We are officially in the final countdown. We have just a few rooms left for our immersive, 5-day masterclass in Tuscany, and we just finalising the agenda!
Here is what is happening on the ground:
The Rules of the Game: We are sitting down with guest experts to decode visa routes, realistic timelines, and the tax reality of owning and living in Italy.
The Viewing Ladder: We aren't just sitting in a classroom. We are going out to visit homes currently for sale, armed with a property scorecard to evaluate properties like a pro. Afterwards, we are hosting a debrief circle to compare scorecards while the experts respond.
Money, Build, Earn: You will learn the exact mechanics of the purchase process - from the proposta to the rogito. We will cover non-resident mortgages, judging a building for renovation, and the realities of short and long-term rental yields.
The Network: Between a wine lunch at a local estate, a cooking class, and drinks on the terrace with locals who have already made the move, you are building a priceless community. You will leave with your own written 90-day plan.
Whether you are buying in Tuscany, Puglia, or anywhere in Italy this room will change your trajectory.
