The villa as a contemporary retreat: why more and more families are choosing independent spaces
In recent years, the concept of living has been transformed. The home is no longer just a place of passage, but a personal ecosystem that must meet the needs of well-being, work, sociality and security. In this context, the villa is confirmed as the most complete living solution, capable of combining comfort, independence and real estate value over time.

Privacy and open spaces: everyday luxury
- Concrete benefits: private gardens, panoramic terraces and large outdoor spaces enable year-round outdoor living, improving quality of life and reducing stress.
- Technical aspect: according to WHO guidelines, spending at least two hours a day in green spaces improves mental and physical well-being. A villa with a garden facilitates this lifestyle.
- Building regulations: in Emilia-Romagna, municipal regulations often encourage the presence of green areas and permeable spaces in residential lots, to protect the environment and urban liveability.
- Choosing a villa with a garden already planted or prepared for automatic irrigation systems reduces future costs and increases the value of the property.
Home and work: smart working finds its dimension
- Current trend: remote working is now structural. Having a dedicated room or large rooms to transform into a studio is a market-driven plus.
- Technical aspect: the Italian regulations on agile work (Law No. 81/2017) recognise smart working as a stable mode. This makes housing with flexible spaces an increasingly sought-after requirement.
- Real estate value: properties with additional rooms or modular open spaces have a higher market attractiveness, especially for families and professionals.
- Providing cabling, multiple electrical sockets and fibre optic connections increases the functionality of the space and the competitiveness of the villa on the market.
Living the Riviera: a value that grows over time
- Local market: the areas of Cervia, Milano Marittima and the surrounding area retain a strong attractiveness thanks to the combination of sea, nature and high-level services.
- Technical aspect: according to OMI (the Italian real estate market observatory) data, villas on the Riviera of Romagna have held their values higher than the national average, especially in the prestigious tourist resorts.
- Tax regulations: buying a villa as a first home allows you to benefit from tax breaks (registration tax at 2% instead of 9%, reduced VAT at 4% in the case of purchase from a builder).
- Buying a villa is also a safe haven: in times of economic uncertainty, bricks in established tourist areas are one of the safest investments.
Style and customisation
- Unique advantage: the villa allows you to shape the space according to your taste, from interior design to the creation of wellness areas, private gyms or open-plan kitchens.
- Technical aspect: building regulations (Presidential Decree 380/2001 – Testo Unico dell’Edilizia) allow renovation and extension work with simplified procedures, especially if energy efficiency is involved.
- Building bonuses: incentives such as the Ecobonus and Bonus Ristrutturazioni (Renovation Bonus) are active until 2025, allowing the recovery of up to 50-65% of the expenses incurred to improve the energy efficiency of the villa.
- Choosing a villa with ample room for customisation allows you to enhance your investment over time, adapting it to your family or business needs.
A villa is not just a house: it is a contemporary retreat, a place that meets today's needs and holds tomorrow's plans. Whether you are looking for an oasis of tranquillity for your family or a valuable investment, our proposals are waiting for you.
