Buying real estate in Liguria
Drive along the French Riviera, through Monte Carlo and into Italy and you hit Liguria. This long, narrow region snakes around the north-west coast of Italy, and squeezes in between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the mountains. And Liguria has lots to entice those looking to buy real estate in Italy.
So why buy property in Liguria? Many reasons. It has one of Italy’s most fascinating cities, the ancient port of Genoa; it has a group of the most picturesque seaside villages you’re likely to see in the Cinque Terre; the town of San Remo offers a flavour of old-fashioned Riviera pizzazz; and it has Portofino — an Italian version of the jetset town of St Tropez. It also has precipitous slopes lushly clad with vines and olives and an extraordinary quantity of good beaches … Liguria is, after all, mostly coast.
