Blessed with stunning scenery, amazing food and drink and an infectious passion for the good things in life, Italy and Calabria in particular, is truly the land of La Dolce Vita! Calabria, the southernmost toe of the Italian boot is without doubt the Mediterranean’
As for the economy of Calabria being in the very south of Italy Calabria’s economy is very poor and relies on Agriculture and in no way matches the rich lifestyle of Italy’s north. Italy’s government is keen to close this historic south-north divide and is pledging 100 billion Euros-worth of national and EU investment in the south as part of a 2007 – 2013 cohesion plan. Calabria’s greatest asset is its wonderful coastline and the potential for tourism is phenomenal, a potential which is in the early stages of being realized and will have a positive effect on the local economy according to Simon Jones market analyst at http://www.internationalhotproperty.co.uk/
“Obviously the cohesion plan will have a positive impact on property values in the medium to long term and with incredibly low prices for the location and the stunning scenery along with the Italian Government’s cohesion plan to bring the south in line with the north Calabria property represents great value to overseas property buyers and property investors alike. There is no capital gains tax if you sell after 5 years and there is no inheritance tax in Calabria. All these factors make Calabria a very interesting place indeed” said Simon.
