ITALy / sardinia RESIDENCE SANTA BARBARA
Italy offers an extremely active tourism market and to the real estate investor extremely attractive profits. Situated in the centre of Europe, and connected by way of various low-cost airlines covering many of the country’s regional airports, Italy possesses the best criteria for travel connections as a vacation destination as well as for a second home! Furthermore, Italy’s real estate market is becoming more and more attractive: prices for houses have risen in the first quarter of the year 7.2 %, and in some regions even 20 %. ‘La bella Italia’ with its ‘dolce vita’ – who is not familiar with these images? They are confirmed every year by a great number of visitors from all over the world. Where there are many tourists, there is a need for vacation and/or living space and therefore a high leasing potential. This need is fed even more by the new opportunities to reach your dream destination at a
good price with low-cost airlines. Not only is the high number of connecting airports very positive, but the fact that you can book your vacation over the Internet also calls for more and more opportunities to receive individual accommodations. An increase can be observed not only in general tourism but especially in ecological or countryside tourism. ‘Undiscovered’ regions also play an ever more important role: this market continuously sees a rise of up to 20 %. There are already permissions for several new real estate renovations and constructions in the countryside, which will furthermore have a positive effect on tourism and additional property investments. In addition, it is very advantageous that Italy has reformed its tax system. There is no property or capital gains tax, and if one takes up residency here, property costs can be significantly lowered.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT IN ITALY IT’S A WISE ‘MOVE’.

LOCATION SARDINIA / RESIDENCE SANTA BARBARA The Genoese house of Doria ruled the North of Sardinia in medieval times. When viewing a map of Sardinia, it is easy to see how this noble family has influenced this territory. The toponymy often quotes the names of the Genoese aristocrats throughout the region from Monteleone Rocca Doria, on the west coast near Alghero, to Casteldoria in the heart of Gallura. This is a sign of how the population has remained bound to the benevolence of the ancient lords through the ages, overcoming the domination of both the Aragonese and the Savoyards. The Doria family were responsible for erecting numerous constructions, one of which is the ancient medieval Guard Duty Tower near Santa Maria Coghinas. With breathtaking views, it dominates the whole Coghinas Valley and Castelsardo coast.
