Every journey to Italy begins with a dream—and sometimes, that dream leads you right back to where your story began.
I’m thrilled to share that our family’s journey to purchase our apartment in Montepulciano has been featured on Italian Real Estate Lawyers, a law firm specializing in helping international buyers navigate the process of owning property in Italy.
Their Client Story beautifully captures how a study abroad experience I had roughly twenty years ago which inspired a lifelong connection to Montepulciano; one that ultimately led my husband and me to make our dream of owning a home here a reality.
From Study Abroad to Second Home
Back in college, I spent six transformative weeks in Montepulciano as part of the Kennesaw State University Italy program. The narrow cobblestone streets, warm community, and views that stretched endlessly over the Tuscan countryside left a lasting mark on me.
Fast forward to today, and that same medieval hilltop town has become more than just a memory, it’s now home to La Musa Eterna, our family’s apartment and future retreat space for creatives and small business owners seeking inspiration in the heart of Tuscany.
Making the Dream a Reality
Buying property in Italy can feel daunting for anyone outside the country. That’s why partnering with Italian Real Estate Lawyers was such a pivotal part of our journey. Their team guided us through every step, from navigating the bureaucracy and bank transfers to ensuring all contracts were clear, compliant, and stress-free.
Their professionalism and warmth reminded me that dreams like this are possible with the right support system.
