There are many reasons to buy in this beautiful area – below are the three best ones.
1. Investment Potential
Abruzzo is still a relatively untapped market for property investment. This is because unlike Tuscany and Umbria, Abruzzo was not known outside of Italy until a few years ago. Property prices here are still well below the national average and offer excellent investment potential, though they are rising due to increased popularity of the region and more media coverage in the UK and other countries. Bargains can still be found, and the best way of doing so is by buying privately, cutting out agencies who often ‘mark up’ prices and also charge agency fees.
2. Beauty and variety of landscapes
Over and above pure investment, Abruzzo is a beautiful region with a rich history, culture, and delicious food. The area of Valle del Fino (Fino Valley), where all properties on this site are located, has a breathtaking landscape of hills and mountains (see the image at the top). While the ski resorts and nature reserve of Gran Sasso (ideal for riding, mountainbiking, walking) are under an hour away, the beautiful sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast are a mere 30 minutes by car. This makes the Valle del Fino an ideal area for a holiday home – with many people harbouring the dream of moving here permanently.
3. Access
The final reason to buy in Abruzzo is its excellent access both by road and by air. The Valle del Fino is a 45-minutes-drive from Pescara airport, while it can also be reached via Rome in just over 2 hours (there is a frequent coach service between Rome and Pescara, an excellent rail connection, and a motorway linking Rome and Teramo). The airports are served both by budget airlines including Ryanair and easyJet, as well as regular ones including British Airways.
