Why buying a holiday home?

Whether you are looking for a peaceful oasis or a safe investment, Engel & Völkers tells you the advantage of purchasing a holiday home


Have you ever desired to buy a holiday home?

As Engel & Völkers experts, we want to give you some good reasons to have your own paradise corner.

Dream holiday home: Choose budget and location

First of all, define a realistic budget, according to the market prices of the chosen area.


What type of property are you searching for? How many rooms? Terrace and / or garden? What about a swimming pool? Think about the budget and your family's needs to find out if the best solution for you is a villa, an apartment or a country-house. 


Where do you want to spend your holidays? How far is your favourite location from your home? Do you want to be able to live in the holiday home every month of the year? All aspects must be considered in order to find the right property in the right place.


Furthermore, this pandemic emergency period has taught us that having a holiday home can be a lifeline for escaping the city during a lockdown, as well as a safe private place where there is no health risk. In fact, nothing is more comfortable than spending the holidays in your own home.


Buying a holiday home in Italy is a safe investment

Do you want to buy a holiday home so to rent it to tourists?


If your aim is to make a safe investment, then you have to carefully choose the location. Indeed, this has to be a popular tourist destination. Decide a realistic budget and set long-term goals, considering that a property can give you a constant income over time.


According to the Fimaa National Observatory and Confcommercio, both Italian and foreign families - especially Germans - willing to buy a holiday home increased to 12% of the total overall sales, recording +3.2% for seaside or mountain destinations.


Holiday homes in Tuscany Maremma 

The most desired Italian seaside destinations are: Santa Margherita Ligure, Amalfi Coast, Tuscany Maremma and Sardinia.


One of the most popular locations is Castiglione della Pescaia, thanks to its refined beauty and strategic position in the center of Italy. In the heart of the splendid Tuscany Maremma, this charming medieval village boasts an unspoiled nature, as well as a crystal clear sea awarded every year with the 5 Sails and the Blue Flags by Legambiente. Moreover, Castiglione della Pescaia offers all the main services, entertainment  and an excellent food and wine offer. This is a destination loved both by VIPs and tourists. In addition, the nearby hamlet of Punta Ala offers a well-equipped marina, exclusive beaches and a golf club.


The Maremma countryside is also very requested, especially among those who prefer to be in contact with nature in an isolated place, but not far from the sea and services.


Finally, another very popular area is the Silver Coast. Known for being one of the most exclusive Italian areas, Capalbio, Talamone, Monte Argentario gift tourists with spectacular bays, a wild nature, enchanting villages and breathtaking landscapes.
