Italian islands continue to be among the most popular destinations for second-home buying. The allure and renown of certain spots are recognized worldwide. In addition to its two main islands, Sicily and Sardinia, Italy has around 800. Among the smaller ones, Capri stands out as the queen of luxury. Extremely high demand and limited supply keep prices very high, while Ischia remains a solid and relatively affordable destination in the Campania region: prices range between €2,500 and €3,500 per square meter for a two-room apartment in good condition, significantly lower than the €7,000-€12,000 price tag on Capri. Elba also strikes a blend of beauty, affordability, and market stability. Regular ferries and its proximity to the Tuscan coast continue to be significant factors in its accessibility. In the Lazio region, the Pontine Islands (Ponza, Ventotene) have a wild charm and a significant tourist appeal. Their proximity to Rome makes them appealing for individuals looking for a convenient second home. Moving on to Puglia, the Tremiti Islands (San Domino and San Nicola) are profiting from the overall strong trend in the Apulian market. Prices vary depending on the location and condition of the property, but rising demand has already pushed prices to €4,000 or €5,000 per square meter — even higher than the €3,000 recorded on Sardinia’s iconic Maddalena.
