You’ll know it’s warm, sunny and historic, but you may not be prepared for how beautiful Sicily is, nor how friendly its people. With baroque palaces and marble palazzos, ancient Greek ruins, a friendly gelateria (or cosy wine bar) on every street corner, Mount Etna quietly puffing away and the Mediterranean shimmering in the distance, no wonder the world has beaten a path to Sicily for over 3,000 years. Come and join us – you won’t be disappointed. The affordable property prices are a big draw, too.
The leaders of the world’s seven biggest economies will be on the Italian island of Sicily at the weekend. While the leaders get down to businesses, the husbands and wives will be treated to a tour of Sicily. If you’re travelling to Italy expect delays due to increased security and customs checks.
Do you feel so drawn to life in Italy that you dream about making your home there? Could it be that you have Italian ancestry? How wonderful would it be to buy a house in the very village your grandparents lived in, see the views they saw, and meet elderly residents that remember them?
Deciding where to buy property in Italy can be a tough decision to make. It’s a beautiful country from the Lakes on the border with Switzerland, all the way down to Sicily 1,200 kilometres south, and from Sardinia in the west to Trieste in the east.
