Abruzzo - Abruzzo is situated in the centre of
Italy - it has a wonderfully diverse terrain. It's about an hour and
a half's to drive from beach to mountain top. Rolling hills give way
to kilometers of mainly white sandy beach.The coast of Abruzzo has over
50 km of beaches. There is a beach for every occasion. They range from
large sandy beaches with bars, restaurants, swimming pools and kids
areas to quiet easily accesible coves.
Calabria - SCALEA, is a picturesque, little town
which takes its name from its terraced lay-out on the hillside, at the
bottom of the Capo Scalea promontory. The old town is placed on the
heights and preserves the remains of ancient wall and it's possible
view the characteristic lanes of Scalea, which preserves it's ancient
medieval features, with its winding streets, flight of steps, and picturesque,
suggestive buildings.
Le Marche - Our properties are in the south of
the Marches, an area of outstanding natural and cultural beauty which
extends from the Sibylline Mountains National Park (a section of the
Apennines) in the west to the Adriatic Sea in the East, from Macerata
in the North to Ascoli-Piceno in the South. This area, while arguably
less important culturally than Tuscany or Umbria, is undoubtedly more
beautiful, with its breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and
the azure sea, and its hundreds of hilltop towns, all hiding unsuspected
treasures of renaissance art and architecture. See
our properties in Le Marche
Puglia, or Apulia as it is called in English, is
Italy's boot heel, its southeastern most region. Gateway to and from
the East, it has been conquered by legions of foreign rulers, most of
whom were careful to live elsewhere. The notable exception was Frederick
II (1194-1250), the last Emperor of the Hohenstaufen line. An enlightened
man, he built many castles which still grace the region, along with
acres and acres of vineyards and olive groves. Apulia produces one-tenth
of the wine drunk in Europe; its olive oil is renowned. See

Tuscany - Perhaps the most famous of all Italian
regions and, for many, the first to come to mind when thinking of buying
an Italian property. Much of Tuscany is expensive but compared to Spain
it is now a lot cheaper– though there is no shortage of people willing
to pay the prices for fine properties in exclusive locations. See
our properties in Tuscany and Lunigiana
Umbria - precisely at the centre of the Italian
peninsular, without any coastline, lies the region of Umbria, crossed
by the Appennine mountains which, snow-capped in winter, soften into
gentle hills, green fertile valleys and wide plains. From its upper
reaches in the north of the region the river Tiber flows majestically
south towards Rome, clinging to its beloved Umbria until the very last
moment - a place appropriately marked by the remains of the Roman settlement,
Otriculum. Land-locked though it is, Umbria is served by an excellent
communications network which provides good access throughout the year.
The international airports of Rome, Pisa, Bologna and Florence are all
within one to two and a half hours driving distance. See
