Unlike many Italian towns that have suffered depopulation over the past century, Guardavalle retains multiple shops, restaurants and businesses, an active local council, superfast fibre broadband and over 4000 inhabitants, and is one of Calabria’s most thriving destination cities for festivals and concerts celebrating local traditions, arts/crafts and music.

While Guardavalle’s population decline is very low compared to many towns in the region, it has still resulted in a number of architecturally significant, yet abandoned buildings in the characterful historic centre. 

Many people who have dreamed of owning a house in Italy and have been lured by the gimmick sales offers of €1 houses, only to find out that the real cost of rebuilding and restoring such properties comes with extra constraints leading to significant building and administrative costs, not to mention the nightmare of tracing emigrant owners of neighbouring properties when structural issues arise.
