Buying a penthouse in Italy
Penthouses in Italy are mostly found in the cities and along the coast. In Rome, top-floor apartments in historic buildings can offer roof terraces with views over domes and rooftops, a rare and valued outdoor space in the city centre. On the Ligurian coast, penthouses in seafront buildings look across the harbours and the sea, while Italy's lake towns offer top-floor apartments with water and mountain views.
In period buildings, check whether a lift reaches the top floor and what condition it is in, and whether the terrace is fully private or shared with the building. Ask how the condominium is run, what the service charges cover and whether major works are planned. Parking is scarce in historic centres, so confirm what is available nearby.
