Why Israelis Are Choosing Italy for a Second Home
In 2025, Italian real estate has become the top choice for Israeli investors seeking stability, luxury, and Mediterranean lifestyle
The year 2025 has marked a historic peak in Israeli interest toward European real estate. This surge stems from both deep cultural connections to the Mediterranean and growing regional instability. Affluent families, investors, and professionals are actively establishing their “European bases,” with Italy emerging as the strategic favorite.
Italy offers what Israeli buyers value most:
- Mild Mediterranean climate
- Cultural & historical proximity
- World-class healthcare
- Gourmet cuisine tradition
- Stable investment market
Search Trends: What Israelis Are Looking For
