The
Sorrento Peninsula, with its lush Mediterranean vegetation,
rocky cliffs and turquoise sea, offers one of the most
beautiful panoramas of the Campania. It is in the southern
strip of the peninsula that the famous Amalfi Coast
stretches out along the sea, the so-called land of the
mermaids, where the crystal-clear sea and the artistic
and historic jewels such as Positano, Ravello and Amalfi
have become tourist destinations known throughout the
world. The white houses of Amalfi are spread out on
terraces along the slope of a basin, facing the sea,
amidst the perfume of the vineyards and fruit orchards
and the colours of the beautiful gardens. In front of
Naples shine the luxuriant islands of Ischia and Capri,
from the steep coasts, hallowed out into thousands of
underground caves by the infinite breaking of the waves.
With their elegant alleys, fashionable pubs, enchanting
piazzas and romantic and breathtaking views, such as
the famous Faraglioni, these islands express the art
of living best, the pleasures and irresistible suggestions
of the Neapolitan culture.
Puglia,
the heel of the Italian boot, is on the Adriatic coast
and features great food and wine, good weather, beautiful
landscapes and magic architecture. The Gargano Promontory
plunges into the sea with renowned tourist resorts such
as Rodi Garganico, Peschici and Vieste, while in the
vast Murge plateau you will find the famous “trulli”
of Alberobello, picturesque white buildings with cone-shaped
roofs, of extremely old origins, and the Castellana
Caves, the largest speleological complex in Italy. The
Puglia countryside offers certainly suggestive views,
bathed in sunshine and dotted with vineyards, almond
and olive trees. This land is also rich in important
historic and artistic Roman, Norman and Angevin testimonies.
In the heart of Salento lies the Baroque equivalent
of Florence, Lecce. The city, an authentic festival
of Baroque and Rococo, offers itself to its visitors,
with its fascinating and unique golden colours, typical
of the rocks of Puglia.
This
region features a beautiful countryside, old properties
packed with character and proximity to culture rich
cities like Matera, Bari and Naples.
Basilicata boasts beautiful beaches and archeological
sites as well as skiing facilities in the winter. Matera
is only one hour away from Bari international airport.
There are many low cost properties available because
the market is still maturing; in general the renovation
of inexpensive but well located old stone properties
can still provide steady capital growth in southern
Italy.
Influenced
by the bright colours and exotic flowers of Tuscany
the famous Botticelli painting, “Primavera”
(spring) is the best image of the Tuscan countryside,
drawing on a palette of natural hues, from madder red
and indigo to live green. The sea, mountains and hills
celebrated all around the world, are the frame of this
region, an exclusive microcosm where the beauty and
harmony of these landscapes enlivens the soul and betters
the spirit. Celebrities have fallen for its charms;
Sting, Richard Gere, Paul Smith, Brian Ferry and Antonio
Banderas own properties in Tuscany, while Tony Blair
and Prince Charles enjoy coming on holidays.
Everybody
adores Rome, but unfortunately that means that it's
now extremely hard to find an inexpensive property there.
However, as you move away from the capital, you may
still find areas with promising investment potential.
In the Viterbo area, for example, the countryside is
superb and yet prices are very competitive at the moment.
Umbria,
the green heart of Italy, crossed by the Tevere River,
offers to those who visit it a sense of peace and interior
harmony. Umbria is the cradle of medieval and renaissance
art. We strongly recommend to visit Perugia and Assisi,
the town of Saint Francis.
The
heart of Emilia Romagna (Bologna) and Veneto (Venice)
is a countryside of luxurious residences and patrician
villas, often designed by illustrious architects and
with frescoes painted by famous painters.
