Live in a house free for a year in Sicily

For Australians with itchy feet to travel the world again, Airbnb is offering them the chance to live in a renovated '1 Euro house' in Sicily, Italy for 12 months. 

This opportunity follows the wildly successful campaign which allowed 12 people to live anywhere on Airbnb for 12 months, and saw over 300,000 people apply!

1 Euro House

Airbnb is on the search for the ideal candidate to live rent-free for a year and Host a decayed-turned-designer Italian heritage home. With a newfound flexibility to live and work remotely, one person will be given the opportunity to relocate to Sicily with their family, partner, or friend and move into this uniquely restored house.

The picturesque three-story traditional home is located in Sambuca which was made famous thanks to its recent ‘1 Euro House campaign’. Like many Italian villages, Sambuca is suffering from a declining population so it launched the ‘1 Euro House campaign’ in 2019 to promote cultural heritage, encourage international investment and appeal to a younger demographic to restore the charm of the once bustling village.

Ideal candidates should be committed to hosting and contributing to village life. Their Sambuca residence will take place over a one year period beginning June 30th, with the successful applicant retaining all earnings from hosting on Airbnb.
