Buying property by the Italian Lakes
Buying property by the Italian Lakes
Buying a property by the Italian lakes is to buy in one of the most beautiful, and potentially expensive, regions in Italy. Set in the northern region of Lombardy, the lakes are renowned for their awesome scenery, rimmed by mountains and with beautiful resorts and properties perched in the hillsides and dotting their shores. Lakes Como, Garda, Lugano and Maggiore are the largest and most visited, Iseo and Orta are quieter and less exploited for tourism.
Buying property in Italy by the lakes will require deep pockets, as there is huge demand for homes in this most picturesque of Italian regions. The breathtaking views and secluded locations command top prices, but those that can afford to buy a property in Italy by the lakes might well find themselves neighbours to some A-list global celebrities, Lake Como in particular attracting a very exclusive clientele.
The better news is that away from the lakes, set in the countryside around them but still within easy reach, property prices fall quite dramatically. Though not exactly cheap by Italian standards, properties here can offer good value by UK standards and still be very close to some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
Looking for a property for sale in Italy away from the most popular resorts, but in close proximity to them, can be a good way to benefit from the amenities of the expensive locations without paying the full price, getting maximum value from your home. With property development around these areas of natural beauty very limited, properties in the area are much in demand for tourist rentals.
