Where is Radicondoli and why is it so popular?

Radicondoli is a tiny hilltop town about an hour’s drive from Florence and 50 minutes from Siena. Once home to around 3,000 people, the population has now dwindled to less than 1,000. About one in five houses are empty, which is the main reason for the new residents’ program.

The local government wants to revitalize the community by attracting young families, freelancers and those who dream of a slower, more quality life.

Radicondoli offers 50% of the rent to new residents

One of the most attractive parts of the program is the rental subsidy. New residents can pay just 50% of the standard rent for the first two years.

- Average rent in Radikondoli – around 400 euros per month;

- Including subsidy – around 200 euros.

The main condition is the commitment to live in the city for at least four years.

Grants for buying a home in Radikondoli: up to 20,000 euros from the local authorities

For those thinking about buying their own home, Radikondoli offers non-refundable grants:

- up to 20,000 euros for the purchase of real estate;

- from 15% to 25% of the cost of the house for first-time buyers;

The main condition is to live in the city for at least 10 years.

How much does real estate cost in Radikondoli?

- Small apartments in the historic center – from 50,000 euros;

- Spacious farmhouses outside the center – up to 100,000 euros.

Most of the houses are in good condition, although some may need some cosmetic repairs.

What other support does Radicondoli offer to new residents besides real estate grants?

The municipality of Radicondoli has allocated over 400,000 euros for the development of the city. In addition to housing programs, residents have access to:

- financial assistance for students;

- subsidies for public transport passengers;

- support for ecological heating;

- investments in schools, kindergartens and local businesses.

Who is suitable for moving to Radicondoli?

Radicondoli is not for those looking for nightlife or the rhythm of a metropolis, because here: less than 1,000 inhabitants, a slow pace of life, the Italian language is a big advantage, nature, silence and a community where everyone knows each other.

However, for remote workers, creative people and those who want to escape the stress of big cities, it can be an ideal option.

According to local authorities, the program is already showing results: the population of Radicondoli is gradually growing, and the community is becoming more active. The goal is simple – to improve the quality of life, support the economy and invite new “friends” to become part of the city.

And if the idea of ​​living in Tuscany, paying half the rent or buying a house with a grant sounds like a dream – Radicondoli is ready to make it a reality.

Even if a town in Tuscany is willing to pay for rent, it is impossible to live in Italy without a residence permit.
