Property for Sale in Abruzzo, Italy

Property For Sale In Abruzzo

Distant from the tourist boom lies the central and southern Italian region of Abruzzo. Most famous for its history of pasta-making, Abruzzo is now slowly attracting visitors’ attention, especially those looking forward to a more pastoral experience of Italy. 

Looking for property for sale in Abruzzo means you probably are already looking forward to a life away from the usual city lifestyle. The property value here is lower, which makes investing here quite a bargain. 

With one-third of its area covered by national forests, this region is populated by cities whose medieval and modern lines overlap each other. The abundance of nature seamlessly weaves into regular life here, which is why it manages to keep the masses away and only attract niche attention. 

Take the example of the chef with three Michelin stars who runs a restaurant from a former 16th-century monastery!
