Steven Worboys, Managing Director of Calabria property experts, Experience International, stated,

“Calabria remains a highly attractive second home location and these new flights will certainly be welcome. With the flying time of around three hours, this stunning region of Italy with its miles of picturesque sandy beaches, warm Mediterranean climate, clear turquoise blue seas and dramatic hills, are perfect for an ideal short break as well as a great place for an extended stay.”

The attractive resorts of Tropea and Pizzo are set to benefit particularly from these new flights as they are within an hour’s drive of the airport. Property values in these areas have stayed stable despite last years economic downtown and the demand for rental property in Calabria, especially during the good summer months from British, Irish, Scandinavian and German vacationers, is high. A nice 2 bedroom apartment can be expected to generate rent at up to £400 – £500 each week in the high season yielding up to 9% per annum.

One development seeing interest from UK buyers is Harbour View. Set in an idyllic location overlooking the coastal town of Tropea which has one of the world’s most beautiful beaches drawing thousands of Italian and international tourists each year, the studio, 1 and 2 bed apartments of Harbour View are available from only €59,500. With an onsite swimming pool, poolside bar, landscaped gardens and parking, these completed apartments are key ready for use straightaway and would make an ideal second home or indeed buy to let investment.
