I have travelled to many places in the world, some of which are stunningly beautiful, but there is something special about Italy that makes you want to LIVE there, rather than just visit. It is a beauty that one can best savour in daily life and never get bored of.

Roberto Battista, DePlain's Director

Are you one of the many who have fallen in love with the Italian countryside and wish you could live there? Or do you represent a company or organisation looking for an opportunity to acquire and convert an exceptional character property for your own uses.

Either way, DePlain offers competent, imaginative and professional assistance in turning your dream and project into a manageable reality.

If you are you looking for that rural retreat, a lighthouse or an ex-chapel, a school or railway station, an abandoned factory or a tobacco-drying farm, a watermill or watch tower, that's the kind of search that sets us going.

2006 - We have been caught by the Romanian bug and are expanding our activities there.
The landscape in Transylvania is stunning and aspects of natural beauty that have disappeared elsewhere in Europe are still thriving in the Carpathian mountains of Romania.
Properties are affordable and there is great choice, at least until the Country joins the EU next year.
