There are around ten (private) islands for sale in Italia
Following the news that the island of Crevan, in the Venetian Lagoon, has been put up for sale, there are now around ten islets for sale across Italia – from Veneto to Sicily. Asking prices range from 1.5 million euros for smaller properties or those requiring significant renovation, up to 24 million euros for properties situated close to Venice itself.
Not only the island of Crevan, the small private strip of land between the islands of Sant’Erasmo and Burano, has been put on the market for 5.5 million euros. From Venice to Marano, from Sicily to Friuli Venezia Giulia. Then Campania and back to Veneto. There are around ten private islands for sale in Italia, with prices reaching 24 million euros. A survey of the main specialised public property portals confirms this figure.
Island Seeker, for example, currently lists nine, with the latest update on new listings dating from July 2026.
The publicly available asking prices clearly illustrate the diversity of the market: they range from around 1.5 million euros for smaller properties or those requiring extensive refurbishment, up to 24 million in the Venice Lagoon. In addition to these, there are properties listed with a price held in confidence. These are the prices asked by sellers, but they are not necessarily the final transaction prices.
“In the ultra-prime market, a private island is an asset that is difficult to compare with any other property,” comments Dimitri Corti, founder and CEO of Lionard Luxury Real Estate, “its value lies first and foremost in the opportunity to own and govern an entire place.” Furthermore, the CEO emphasises, “scarcity, privacy, accessibility and potential for transformation therefore become key factors in determining value. This is why every island effectively represents a market in its own right.”
Scrolling through the list of islands on Island Seeker, the most recent listing, from July, is that of Santa Cristina Island, which is on the market for 24 million euros. The property covers 29 hectares in the northern Venice lagoon, situated between Torcello and Burano.
‘It functions as a fully self-contained private estate, with a four-storey main villa, a separate farmhouse, a chapel, a heated saltwater swimming pool, a boathouse, private moorings and a helipad – as stated on the website. The estate also includes a working vineyard that produces the estate’s Ammiana wine, along with olive groves, orchards and traditional fish-farming ponds that continue centuries-old Venetian practices.”
