Overseas home-hunters looking for a perfect ski property in Italy should look no further than the beautiful region of Abruzzo.
Indeed it is becoming more popular with overseas property purchasers as the secrets of this beautiful region become more well known. Our annual report conducted on the enquiries we’ve received in 2014 from international purchasers looking for a home in Italy shows that interest in Abruzzo grew by 21.1% compared to 2013.
One very important selling point to overseas buyers is the proximity of Abruzzo to 2 main airports: Rome and Pescara. And if you’re planning on purchasing a second home in Italy, the fact that several of the budget airlines fly into these airports could well be a factor that sells Abruzzo as a great choice to you.
If you enjoy downhill and cross-country skiing just a few kilometres away from the sea your Abruzzo home gives you everything you need to enjoy life to the max.
Abruzzo offers you the beauty and greenery you need, with three National Parks for summer recreational fun, alongside the beautiful and secluded Adriatic beaches the whole family adores. What more could anybody ask from an overseas residence?
A great alternative to Dolomites and Alps
The north of Italy is usually the only area most people consider when they think of skiing in Italy, probably because they are more famous abroad. What many of you likely don’t know is that Italy boasts many ski destinations throughout the country, and Abruzzo is one of these hidden gems.
• The fantastic skiing in the beautiful Apennine mountains of Abruzzo offers you heavy snow and a ski season from the end of November/early December until the end of March and it’s sure ski buffs will jump at the opportunity of buying property here.
• When you contemplate the area also offers 130km of beautiful Adriatic coastline to explore in warmer weather, plus national parks and beautiful medieval homes and villages scattered on lush hillsides, it’s not difficult to understand why anybody would want to live in the Abruzzo region.
• To top it all off you’ll find the wines, availability of top quality food produce and local food specialities in restaurants will give you reasons to keep returning to the Abruzzo region.
