PROPERTIES IN TUSCANY

Homes for sale in Tuscany and Tuscany property market

It’s not a secret that buying a property in Tuscany or make an investment in a farmhouse for sale in Tuscany is a good catch. Tuscany has been the most popular place for home investors who wanted to buy a real estate in Italy for at least the last 30 years, when the first foreign pioneers bought run down farmhouses for sale in the Chianti area of Tuscany for a small bag of coins and patiently restored them. Now those properties are worth millions!

Nowadays the availability of properties to restore in Tuscany, especially in the Chianti and central areas of Tuscany, has dropped enormously compared to the good old days, that’s one of the main reasons why even a heap of rubble can cost up to €400,000.

In the last few years property developers tend to restore whole farmhouses, sometime also whole villages (borghi), convert them into apartments and sell them. In this way is possible to experience the Chianti lifestyle with a more affordable budget; a completely restored apartment for sale in a farmhouse or village can go for as little as €200,000 and if you are lucky they have also a communal pool and a small private garden (we have a good list of apartment for sale in Tuscany on our site).

As for all the Italian regions, Tuscany is big, the landscape changes from north to south and from east to west, the people are different, and so are the properties!

One of the areas of Tuscany which is becoming ever more popular for property buyers is Lunigiana. Lunigiana is the Northern point of Tuscany, mainly in the province of Massa Carrara.
Buying a real estate in Lunigiana can be a very good choice, prices are low as it is possible to buy a country home for less than €100,000, the location is quite convenient as it is very close to the sea (Liguria) and to the mountains.

If you are looking for a home by the Tuscan coast the most exclusive areas are Versilia, which is also one of the most expensive areas of all Italy where prices are as high as €12,200 per square meter in Forte dei Marmi, and Monte Argentario, where a home in Porto Santo Stefano can cost €6,150 per square meter but where the amazing sight of its cliff and its sea it’s enough to make you forget the price.

Overall the demand for homes in Tuscany is steady and at a good level, while there’s a big request for renting. The average demand is for a 2 bedroom house or apartment, with terrace, garage and air conditioning, better if near the coast. The renting market is improving year after year, since living and spend the holiday in Tuscany has become a “status symbol” for foreigners and for Italian people too.

So if you want to realize a good profit you can look for a real estate in Tuscany and you’ll be satisfied.

What’s the biggest Italian literary work? The “Divina Commedia” (The Divine Comedy) for sure, with Dante’s description of the hereafter. If you just think that the poet has been inspired by the land of Tuscany, you should be sure that buying a property in Tuscany it’s a warranty.

This region can offer you anything you want, architecture, museums, music, gorgeous landscapes, tradition, good food, wine and entertainment. And there are so many reasons why you should chose to buy a home in Tuscany. First of all, you know for sure the many art cities of the region. On every corner of Florence you can find a piece of history with its wonderful cathedrals, and the famous museum “Uffizi”. Pisa has its symbol, the Leaning Tower, that challenges every day any law of gravity. Siena comes back to the Middle Ages twice a year (every 2 July and 16 August) with the Palio (horse race). Besides, there are some other cities worth visiting: Lucca (view properties in Lucca) wrapped in its ancient walls, Massa Carrara (view properties in Massa Carrara) well-recognized for the marble, Prato with its historical fabric industry.

The countryside is a pearl, and as every jewel has a priceless value; especially the Chianti shire  it’s so renowned worldwide because living in Tuscany is an experience you won’t forget for your whole life.

That’s all you already know, but there are many other parts still to explore. Living in Maremma  is a sole experience. You can pass from the “movida” of the coast, to the silence of the nearby villages, to discover less famous places still full of history and tradition.

Versilia is the summer face of Tuscany. Viareggio is the coast town famous for the Carnival, and for the magic summer season when everything seems to be the same but it changes every year.

Forte dei Marmi is Tuscany VIPs’ city, full of shopping, relax and paparazzi.

Lunigiana (view properties in Lunigiana) in the northern part of Tuscany, is another undiscovered part of the region. It’s a border land, a place where you can easily think to be in a new region, because it’s so particular and different. History is very important, and trough castles, villages and excavation you can be sure to not forget the past.

Culture and society

Music is the soul of Tuscany, and there are many different festivals for every kind of music, from pop to classical and jazz.

You can go to “Arezzo Wave” with your children and have fun, and to enjoy classical music in outdoor theater, in the “Puccini Festival” that takes place in July and August all around the region. For blues lovers there’s the “Pistoia Blues Festival” held over three days in July every year.

If you want to take care of body and spirit, you just have to spend some time in one of the thermal baths of Tuscany.

The most famous SPA is in Saturnia, but you can also go to other places such as Gambassi, Livorno, Elba Island, Lucca, Pisa and lots of small villages to breathe clean air and feel completely healthy!

For luxurious stays, just relax yourself in the first spa you’ll find on your way and you’ll feel immediately better! Your only problem is to choose one of them, because they are everywhere.

For sport addicted, you can choose between sea and mountain activities, but if golf is your passion, you can play it for the whole year in the various exclusive clubs of the region.

Food and wine is a masterpiece in Tuscany. Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino are the most important wines, but if you taste Brunello di Montalcino you’ll see that there are so many things that this region can offer you. The local cheese and the olive oil are a symbol of this region, together with the “Fiorentina” (Florence steak), pappa al pomodoro and ribollita.

Nature is a key feature as well. There are many parks and natural reserves, these are the main ones: Regional Park of Maremma, Sienese Natural Reserves, Val di Cornia Parks, Tuscan Archipelago National Park. One is peculiar for its subject: Pinocchio’s Park is dedicated to the famous Collodi’s book “The Adventure of Pinocchio”.

Facilities

Reaching Tuscany and travelling from there is very easy. The main airports are: Pisa International Airport, Florence International Airport and the Civic Airport of Grosseto. To reach the islands (Sardinia, Elba and Corsica) there are some companies that provide ferry service (Moby Lines, Toremar). Using the railway you can easily get to the main Italian cities such as Bologna, Milan and Rome. The highway (A1 and A12) is an effective means of transport too.What to choose? It’s a really hard decision because there are so many places to go, so much art to see and so many things to taste! We’ll try to make a list of what you can’t absolutely miss, being aware that we will forget something for sure. The Leaning Tower of Pisa in “Campo dei Miracoli” (Miracle’s field) square is worth a visit, such as every single street of Florence, where breathing art is normal. Only in its museums “Uffizi” you can spend a whole day and then go to the “Ponte Vecchio” (Old Bridge) and buy a precious jewel, so you can be sure to not forget your wonderful experience.

About Education, there are three important universities in Pisa, Florence and Siena. Besides these, you can find many schools of fashion (Polimoda Fashion School in Florence) and some others that teach Italian language to foreign (Koine’ school in Florence, Lucca, Cortona, Bologna and the Island of Elba). An interesting course can be the one offered by the Tuscany Cooking School.
