YOUR OWN PLACE IN THE SUN - TUSCANY

It’s no surprise that many British tourists choose Tuscany as their ideal holiday destination. Its classic Italian appeal attracts novices and boffins alike, year after year, to sample the art, scenery, culture, wine and food – not to mention the weather! Now many of those who appreciate the Tuscan way of life are considering going one step further and buying their own piece of Tuscany.

No comparative investment is able to match the growth in real estate in Tuscany over the last 5 years. The property price boom experienced in the Chianti region during the last 15 years or so is now being mirrored across central Tuscany.

Property investment is often considered solely as a one off purchase to buy the family home. Yet smart investors, looking for a good return on their investment, are turning to overseas property. It doesn’t have to mean selling up the main-stay family home – it could be a long term investment in a second house or a holiday home. Not only will the investment grow in value; at the same time the family can enjoy sunshine and wonderful holidays in Tuscany’s developing environment.

Aklan International's Director Emily Aklan believes that real estate in Tuscany is set to grow over coming years. She says:-

“Tuscany has long been a popular holiday destination. Better access from UK airports means that its appeal is now widening out to those wanting more than just a holiday location. Improvements to air links and a major upgrade of the transport network make the area much more accessible and appealing for property developers and visitors alike.

“Future new development in Tuscany is limited with much of the region protected against new build – akin to the national park regulations in the UK. As a result, real estate growth in Tuscany has been booming – no other sector is delivering such a good return on an investment.”

There are now a range of home ownership opportunities in the region through Borgo di Colleoli. The resort created at Borgo di Colleoli is the result of painstaking restoration work to rebuild a 15th Century hill-top village. The village was once renowned for its production of olive oil in the 500 year-old family Palazzo, granary and surrounding buildings. They have now been transformed, with careful consideration to detail to retain much of their old character, into an exclusive luxury 5-star hotel and apartment complex.

The Borgo is attracting much interest enticing just as many Italians back to the area as it is the British. Flexibility is the key differentiator at the Borgo di Colleoli with a range of property investment options on offer. Residents can choose from one week’s private membership through to full freehold ownership. The Borgo also offers a full management service, managed rental opportunities with guaranteed returns, a flexible reservations service and access to a range of properties and styles.

With a transfer time of just 30 minutes from Pisa Airport and centrally located between Pisa and Florence, the Borgo has something for everyone. Guests can enjoy the services of a luxury hotel staying in a suite in the Palazzo hotel or living in one of the sumptuous apartments offering peace and tranquillity to relax and unwind. The I Secoli (The Centuries) restaurant prides itself on using local produce to create the gourmet delights. Coupled with an international wine cellar in the Enoteca, the Sommelier will select the right wine to complement the food or enjoy in the afternoon sun. Those looking to up the pace can enjoy the 2 swimming pools which form part of the 23-acres surrounding the property – to say nothing of the surrounding scenic beauty, wine and cycle trails, art, culture, shopping…...

Borgo di Colleoli Managing Director, Ronnie Hogg added:-

“With the logistical difficulties in building from scratch in Tuscany, the Borgo offers an excellent opportunity to be part of a quality, luxury development which has lost none of its classic Italian charm. With all you could need on site, the Borgo really could be your own private haven to relax and unwind – your own place in the sun.”

A property investment which offers an authentic Italian country retreat with all the rustic charm and character of Tuscany – the scenery, the tranquillity and the laid back lifestyle – yet at the same time is now easily accessible and affordable, offers the best of both worlds.
