Calabria The Original Riviera

Southern Italy has long been a holiday location for the northern Italian population who want to leave the smog of Milan and Turin and relax on white sandy beaches and swim in crystal clear waters. This is why Calabria has managed to keep its original identity, retaining every ounce of charm and character.

Throughout the region it is still possible to enjoy amazing local dishes using traditional recipes, accompanied by a good bottle of wine for the price of a starter in alternative European destinations.

Property in Calabria also offers considerably more for your money, with some beachfront developments starting from €59995 and giving you access to some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. The great thing is, the mass building that has plagued Southern Spain will be impossible in Calabria, due to strict building regulations, put in place to counteract ugly construction and maintain the natural beauty of the area.

Historically, Calabria has been regarded as the "poor" region of Italy, lacking in infrastructure and funding. This, however is rapidly changing and the Italian government has pledged €100 bn on their "cohesion" plan, developed to bring parity between North and South. Silvio Berlusconi (the Italian Prime Minister) has committed to start construction of the longest suspension bridge in Europe, between Messina in Sicily and Reggio Di Calabia, enabling easy access to this equally picturesque island.

There has never been a better time to consider property in Calabria holiday home or investment than now, no other destination in Europe will offer you so much at such exceptional value.
