Italy continues to win over the hearts of British buyers looking for an authentic slice of continental living. The Italian property market is still an exciting place to invest, and bargain property is available in lesser known areas.

Tuscany, notably Chianti, is still too expensive for many buyers, except hard core renovators. However there are many undiscovered parts of Italy, which are now becoming popular with tourists and investors such as, Le Marche and Abruzzo in the centre of the country and are favourable alternatives to Tuscany.
