Buying a Property in Calabria, Italy

Calabria is one of the best kept secrets in Italy with its un-spoilt coastline, mountain grandeur and age-old historical towns.

Situated in the southern most region of Italy and caressed by the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian Seas, it is a narrow peninsula where the "cliffs meet the seas", the intricate coastline facing the water every way you look and pine trees, grape vines and olive and fig trees cling to the rugged mountains adding to the beauty of this region of Italy.

Calabria is an area untouched by mass tourism and is one of the current "hotspots" for buying a home abroad. There are many exciting new developments all situated in beautiful landscape settings with communal swimming pools. These villas, townhouses and apartments are proving popular as holiday homes or as an excellent investment opportunity and are on the market at very affordable prices.

The relaxed lifestyle, excellent cuisine and welcoming people of Calabria will appeal to many individuals who are seeking a holiday home in this part of Italy. From the harbour there is a cheap, regular ferry service to the Isle of Sicily, famous for its stunning, snow capped peak of Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes.
