If you thought Italy was just about Tuscany, think again. Calabria is the current hotspot as it offers more opportunity for capital growth than the more well-established north.
So why all the fuss about Calabria? Here are ten good reasons to explain why it’s topping the charts with Italians and buyers from overseas:
- Unspoiled and offering the archetypal, idyllic Italian lifestyle. If that’s what you love about Italy, you’ll love Calabria.
- In terms of buying power, a little currently goes a long way in Calabria so buyers get more for their money in this beautiful part of the country, with prices set to offer great returns.
- Easily accessible via major airlines as it’s just one hour from Rome and it’s even possible to fly direct with some airlines.
- Perfect holiday weather; hot in summer and mild in winter.
- Some of the best sandy beaches in Italy, with the clearest, aquamarine water.
- Great scenery and home to the stunning Aspromonte National Park.
- Growing skiing industry, making it a holiday haven for both summer and winter.
- Currently no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and wealth tax is just 0.4% of the property value.
- The locals are warm and friendly, plus the area is very popular with Italian holidaymakers (always a good sign when the home market holiday there!).
- Buying in Calabria offers a chance to get a foothold in Italy, one of the UK’s most popular destinations.
