Buying Property In Italy On The Cheap
Copyright (c) 2009 Fabrizio Giglioli

Tuscany remains the No1 choice of investors looking to buy 
property in Italy.

But despite the current worldwide slowdown, Tuscany's enduring 
appeal means buying a home in Italy's most popular region does 
not always come cheap.

As an example, while house prices in Britain fell nearly 16 per 
cent last year, in Florence they declined by less than two per 
cent.

But there are affordable deals to be found in the property in 
Tuscany market – if you know where to look. And your search 
should start in the Maremma, at the southern tip of Tuscany.

The Maremma – with more than 160km of beautiful coastline – 
begins in Follonica, south of Piombino, and stretches down to 
Monte Argentario.

And it is proving fertile ground for property in Italy bargain-
hunters. In areas such as Sorvana, €200,000 will pay for a three-
bedroom semi-detached home while a detached house can be picked 
up for an additional €50,000. Just two hours away, in the much 
pricier Siena, you can expect to pay up to three times those 
prices.

Other superb towns in this part of Tuscany that remain popular 
include Saturnia spa retreat and Pitigliano, its buildings 
famously hewn from the tufo rockface. Here, €100,000 will buy an 
apartment, just the thing if you are looking for a base from 
which to explore the rest of Tuscany.

However, the Maremma has no end of appeal of its own and has 
attracted holidaymakers for decades, ensuring maximum rental 
returns on your investment in property in Italy here.

Follonica is a lively beach resort and home to the Modigliani art 
gallery, with works by Picasso and Dali.

Some 15km miles south lie the beaches of Cala Violina, where the 
sand is so fine that ancient folklore suggests it sounds like 
violins when walked on.

Some of the finest beaches in Tuscany are to be found on Mount 
Argentario, an island attached to the mainland by three narrow 
strips of land. Viewed from the air it appears sculpted with 
breathtaking precision, a large flower between the Maremma and 
the sea.

Monte Argentario is one of the Maremma's most highly sought-after 
areas among investors searching for property in Italy. And it has 
a much slower turnover of properties, with owners keen to hold 
onto them for as long as possible.

The seas of the Maremma are also very popular with watersports 
enthusiasts while skiers flock to Mount Amiata, a dormant volcano 
turned holiday and ski resort. And Punta Ala has one of Europe's 
most majestic golf courses, which looks out to sea.

Saturnia is another delight, its thermal baths a great place in 
which to be pampered with beauty treatments and relax in thermal 
pools.

Other typically Tuscan towns popular with visitors include 
Abbadia San Salvatore, Bagni San Filippo, Castel del Piano and 
Manciano, full of picturesque boutiques selling local 
handicrafts.

But you cannot leave the Maremma without witnessing one of its 
unique palios - medieval racing contests.

While Siena's famous event is run with horses, in Roccastrada it 
features donkeys. And locals in Paganico gather once a year in 
September to watch... racing frogs. Then again, the Maremma's a 
place quite like no other.
