Lecce and its surroundings
Londoners envy the Mediterranean lifestyle and define Italy as the ideal place to purchase a house and move to indefinitely. The reasons?
Its mild and welcoming climate, but also for the food and wine, and a more relaxed work schedule. This data was collected through a survey, taken by 1,655 Londoners, conducted by tickbox.net during January 2008.
For many, Italy represents the true essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle and is considered to be one of the places to go to for a dream vacation.
The data collected during the survey (the results of which were released during the La Dolce Vita exposition held in London between March 13 and 16) suggests that our country never goes out of style and remains one of the top vacation destinations. Italy has always been a charming country and many people have dreamt about coming here. And thanks to the addition of services, such as low-cost airways, during the last few years, many people now have a much easier possibility of taking their dream vacation. In fact, these low-cost airlines have caused a massive increase of English tourists in Italy.
“Since Ryanair starting flying into Le Marche – says Grazia Grazi, coordinator for Paradise Possible – this region has had a huge success. Not only due to its lower real-estate prices, but also for the local hospitality, the beautiful landscapes, uncontaminated nature, historic and artistic beauties, and the cultural and gastronomic tours, which strongly attract English clients. Le Marche represents a new frontier, because up until just a few years ago it was a land unknown to tourists, but today it has been unveiled as a charming territory”.
According to data, for the first time Florence beat out Paris in the charts of the most romantic European city. Plus, those who decide to travel on Valentine’s Day prefer to spend that special day in either Florence or Rome.
Among the other areas discovered by the English, besides Sicily and Puglia, there is Calabria, which represents an ideal place to join together an investment with a relaxing lifestyle. In fact, there are many English in this area who have decided to purchase a home where they can spend their summer vacations, or in some cases, transfer indefinitely.
In the mean time, more and more real-estate intermediation agencies are popping up all over Italy and will be able to help English clients wanting to purchase a home in here.
