Purchasing a historic villa is more than an aesthetic or lifestyle choice—it is a strategic investment. The key advantages include:
- Exclusive and limited supply – Historic properties are unique and irreplaceable, making them highly desirable.
- Long-term appreciation – Well-preserved and carefully restored historic homes tend to retain and increase their value over time.
