"When renting a home in Italy, the typical appliances that come with the property include a refrigerator, stove, and clothes washer. Many homes also come equipped with air conditioning units and internet access. Some homes may also offer dishwashers, while others might provide access to a communal pool or gym. Additional amenities such as access to a shared garden or balcony may also be available," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Italy.
"In Italy, rental properties often come with a basic kitchen setup, which usually includes a stove, oven, and refrigerator. It's common for rentals to be unfurnished or semi-furnished, so major appliances and furniture may need to be provided by the tenant. Always confirm with the landlord or real estate agent what is included in the rental to avoid surprises upon moving in," wrote Brian Viola from Italian For A While.
