It’s no secret that Italy has been, and continues to be, a popular second home destination for many around the world. Umbria is a region in the center of the country that is largely known for its incredible history and rolling hills. While it is a bit further removed from the city-centers that many are more familiar with, the value of the properties (when compared to the dollar amount spent) more than makes up for this slight drawback.
The region of Tuscany is especially popular among home buyers at the moment, and its prices reflect that fact. Many don’t realize that Umbria is only a short distance away from Tuscany, and some will argue that the regions’ countrysides are equally as beautiful. There is plenty to love about the many different Italian regions: here are three reasons to consider investing in Umbria.
During someone’s first visit to Italy, they may be drawn to the up-beat, metropolitan lifestyle offered by Rome, Venice, or Florence. Once traveling becomes more frequent, many prefer the peace and quiet that the countryside has to offer. There are dozens of olive groves and vineyards to explore as well as a handful of quaint, historic towns to tour and learn about. When considering an investment in a second home, it’s important to take into account the kind of lifestyle you’re looking for. For many, the tranquility and beauty offered by Umbria is the perfect match.
Italy’s history surrounds those who visit and call the country home with countless treasures to explore on a daily basis. This combined with its world famous art, culture, music, and food, offer an unparalleled quality of life that is hard to ignore. Umbria in particular has all of these benefits, and also has very little traffic and plenty of wide open, beautiful, scenery. You could live there for years without exploring every lovely detail that the countryside has to offer.
Last but certainly not least, Umbria offers local and unique fine wines and genuine flavors. It’s no secret that one of Italy’s biggest draws as a county is its delicious food and drinks. Umbria is, no surprise here, no exception. If there was ever a reason to make an investment in property, it would be for incredible food.
