Ollolai, nestled in the mountain region of Barbagia on the island of Sardinia, is offering 200 abandoned stone dwellings for the bargain price of just €1 (90p) each. The town’s population has halved over the past three decades, with just 1,300 people – mostly middle-aged childless couples – left, according to thelocal.it. With just a small number of babies born each year, Ollolai’s mayor decided to prevent the population plummeting further by launching the ‘houses for €1’ scheme in 2015. And Mr Casula recommends the town highly to anyone to looking to leave behind stress for a 'peaceful, healthy life.' Following media reports, authorities the town started to receive applications for houses from all over the world.
