Tuscan Property for sale

Posted by Don Osborni

Property for sale in Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany countryside viewTuscany is an enchanting region of meandering hills, ancient hillside villages, historic renaissance cities with ambient piazzas. Mile after mile of vineyards and olive groves, fields of golden sun-flowers and towering cypress trees. It’s landscapes exude a magical charm, rich in culture and heritage they are bathed in a unique light that has inspired artists for centuries. The warmth and hospitality of the local people and the delicious local cuisine and fine wines are just some of the pleasures that this region has in store for you. Every year we drive thousands of miles to hand pick the properties for our new programme and we have an excellent local knowledge. The only way to appreciate Tuscany fully is to experience it for yourself, and once you do, you will be so enchanted that like most of our clients, you will return time after time.

The Tuscan coast has some of the widest and most immaculate sandy beaches in Italy which are unique in that they are set against a stunning back drop of the marble clad Apuan alps. Italians have enjoyed spending their summer in these elegant resorts since the turn of the century. Beach lovers can spend long sun filled days lazing on an Italian beach, or if a day of sight seeing and shopping appeals more, the Cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence are accessible from the Coast.

THE PROPERTY MARKET:

Tuscany is still the number one choice for many buyers looking for property in Italy. The mere mention of this beautiful region conjures up images of dining ‘al fresco’ whilst gazing out across a tapestry of vineyards and olive groves. The area also promises inflated house prices as an ever increasing number of ex-patriates buy property in the South of Tuscany. This means that more and more property buyers are looking to other areas in Tuscany which offer equally beautiful surroundings at a fraction of the price. Bagni di Lucca is one of these places and it’s proximity to sought after Lucca makes the area an interesting investment opportunity.

The Tuscan market shows little sign of slowing. Prices differ dramatically depending on the area. We estimate that during the last 12 months prices in Bagni di Lucca have increased by about 8 %.

‘Over building’ is not something you need to worry about. The rural character of the area cannot be spoilt nor the strength of your investment diluted due to the strict building guidelines which are in place in Tuscany.

The Calabria Region

Posted by Don Osborni

Along the Calabrian coastline are beautiful old towns like San Nicola Arcella and Diamante. These old towns with their ‘ centro storico ‘ are a delight to explore, and have great character. Property here is still relatively inexpensive. However these are places on the turn and beautifully renovated houses now sit side by side with old properties in need of renovation. Once totally dependent on fishing but now becoming holiday retreats, they are reminiscent of Port Isaac in Cornwall twenty years ago.

Maratea, Praia-a-Mare and San Nicola Arcella are located in the beautiful Bay of Policastro. Dino Island sits proudly in front of Praia and the surrounding waters are now a marine park, famous for a particular coral reef. Aquatic sports like scuba diving are very popular here and in winter skiing is available in the mountains only half an hour inland.

Around this coastline are many secluded bays and coves, some only reachable by boat and even in the height of summer, relatively quiet. Properties in the small towns like San Nicola Arcella which sits 110mt above the sea have amazing views of this beautiful bay.

Much of the coastline is now fortunately protected from future development. For the price of a two bedroom flat on the Sussex coast it is possible to purchase a villa with spectacular sea views. Although our opinion is not exactly unbiased! We honestly believe thatunrepeatable value is to be found here.

The Southern Italian food, we believe, is second to none. It varies markedly from from region to region and even village to village giving the traveller a gourmet experience. Many of the dishes are steeped in traditional history and use only the freshest ingredients.

And of course, with such an interesting history, eating is never dull! Mushrooms and truffles are an important ingredient in the dishes of Basilicata and the further south one goes, the hotter the food becomes with chillies and peppers featuring in the seasoning in Calabria. Local produce always features prominently and the seafood is outstanding all along the coast.
