Asta, based in Sicily, renovates homes bought by Lithuanians: prices of some homes surprise even her

Lithuanian architect Asta Puolienė, who settled in Sicily a year ago, has embarked on a new venture assisting fellow Lithuanians in renovating their newly acquired homes on the Italian island. Puolienė, who previously shared her own experience of purchasing and fitting out a home in the charming town of Santa Lucia del Mela, now divides her time between Vilnius and Sicily.

Her new role involves not only restoring her own property but also helping other Lithuanians discover and refurbish houses in the region. This initiative stems from her own positive experience and her growing familiarity with the Sicilian property market.

Puolienė has expressed astonishment at the prices of some of the homes she is currently working on. While the article does not specify the exact figures, her comment suggests that the value of these properties, particularly after renovation, can be surprisingly high, even to someone experienced in the local market.

The architect's dual residency allows her to bridge the gap between Lithuania and Sicily, offering a unique service to those looking to invest in or relocate to the picturesque Italian island.
