Carrega Ligure
The mayor of Carrega Ligure, a small village in northern Italy, has an interesting take on abandoned houses. The town is now offering abandoned homes for sale for zero euros. This is a rarity, and is a great opportunity for newcomers.
Fabbriche di Vergemoli
Fabbriche di Vergemoli is an ancient hamlet located in Garfagnana, halfway between Lucca and the Apuan Alps Park. The village has a long history and was once a hub of iron mining. The town was also a popular stop for foreign families who sought out iron for their weaponry and hunting tools. Some of the old shops still showcase the work of master craftsmen.
Funcho de Diante
In the region of Silves, Portugal, there is a 10 hectare abandoned village called Funcho de Diante. The village has 11 houses that need restoration. It is located in the Algarve. For 1.8 million euros, you can buy this entire village with eleven houses.
Agracoes
Agracoes and Povoa de Agracoes are two small towns in northern Portugal, with a cozier feel. While Agracoes is a run-down huddle of stone houses, Povoa has a more traditional appearance and a wayside chapel. Both villages have fewer than 50 residents.
Laurenzana
You can buy a house in Laurenzana, a medieval village in northern Portugal, for less than EUR25,000. The village is situated near the famous UNESCO site of Matera and popular seaside resorts. The mayor of the village has agreed to remove the deposit requirement for buyers. In exchange, the buyers have three years to renovate the house. The village is a maze of narrow cobbled alleys with artistic votive niches and dozens of arched passageways. Several houses are broken down and the windows are missing, while others have doors that are not in working order.
Santo Stefano di Sessanio
In the 1500s, Santo Stefano was a popular port for the wool industry. But as economic changes swept across the Atlantic, the village slowly fell into a state of decline. Even the residents of the town began to drift away, moving to bigger cities and across the Atlantic. With no other means of generating revenue, the village began to look like a ghost town. Then, a single-minded missionary decided to convert a quarter of the town into a hotel.
