Discounts of up to 15 per cent are available on apartments in Umbria and La Marche according to estate agents. These two Italian regions have become popular in recent years with overseas holiday home buyers who want a piece of the glorious Italian countryside, but not at relatively steep Tuscan prices.
A restored farmhouse in Umbria and La Marche usually costs from Euro1 million, and a two bedroom apartment in a restored farmhouse from Euro270,000. Wrecks are considerably cheaper.
A number of holiday home projects are appearing in this part of north west Italy, including Castello di Reschio, on the Tuscan/Umbrian border, where 50 farmhouses are being restored by Count Benedikt Bolza.
If your heart is set on something really special in Tuscany, then estate agency Cluttons is marketing a restored 18th century villa, pictured here, with Italianate garden near Lucca. The estate also includes a second villa in need of restoration, farmhouse, private chapel and 57 hectares of woodland, vineyards and olive groves. POA.
