Seems like the whole world and his dog are looking for a property in the Mediterranean, if they haven’t bought one already. So what’s the big deal? What’s really so great about living in Italy?
The weather: It almost goes without saying that the weather in Italy is positively tropical compared with old Blighty. With the average temperature and sunshine hours being twice as much all year round, it’s time to get your tan on!
Food (and drink!): There’s no one who isn’t familiar with Italian gastronomy as it is some of the best in the world: infinite types of pasta and spaghetti dishes, woodfired pizzas, endless fresh fruit and veg, not to mention the countless varieties of exquisite local wines.
Leisure time: Italians are known for taking it easy, and not without reason. Whether you’re more into football and volleyball, or you prefer a gentle dip in the sea and bronzing on the beach, or even hiking in the mountains and skiing, Italy has it all.
And to top it off...
Cost of living: As if all that weren’t enough, it’s ridiculously cheap! While exchange rates may rise and fall what with the economic crisis, Brexit, etc., the truth is that Italy remains one of the most economical places to live, with everything from houses and property to a loaf of bread being significantly cheaper.
Culture: The best things in life are free, though, and money can’t buy the wealth of cultural history that Italy has. Each different region of the country has its own particular identity and traditions, plus the art and architecture dating back through the Romans and Renaissance make Italy unrivalled in the world in terms of cultural capital per square metre.
