There are a selection of properties on the site at the moment but expect to see a greater selection over the coming months. Please e-mail at info@homesinitaly.co.uk with your specific requirements.

These areas offer great climates, excellent coastlines and good rental and investment opportunities.

Liguria is a beautiful and sun blessed region that offers the visitor a wonderful coastline and a mixture of lively beach resorts, seaside hamlets and wonderful hill towns.

It is one of Italy's smallest regions and it stretches west in a narrow ribbon along the coast from France. It has always been a region loved by tourists as the Riviera enjoys sunny days, floral gardens and the Mediterranean vegetation overlooking the blue sea.

The region is awash with sea hamlets and valley villages that are full of character and history and offer pretty walking, dramatic scenery and a unique charm.

Like so much of Italy, Liguria is a land of contrasts, home to upmarket and lively seaside resort towns such as Portofino, San Remo, Alassio; seaside villages such as Cinque Terre with cobbled streets; terraced vineyards and olive groves; beautiful medieval towns, such as Albenga, Dolceaqua, Apricale, Taggia and Cervo and mountains that are great for walking and hiking. Liguria can be reached by both Genova and Nice airports.

Sardinia is an oasis with beautiful sandy beaches, translucent turquoise blue sea and an individual identity that offers both tranquillity and adventure

Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and is graced with endless soft and golden beaches and crystal blue sea.

The island offers visitors a wide range of attractions, from quiet coves and beaches to nature reserves and mountaintop ruins. The isolated interior is perfect for the more adventurous explorer.

Many of the towns are laden with whitewashed and pastel coloured houses and narrow cobbled streets and Alghero in the north has a pretty historical centre and lovely harbour.

The sophisticated shores of the Costa Smeralda and Baia Sardinia contrast beautifully with the rugged and wilder landscape inland. This area is graced with the upmarket resorts of Porto Cervo, Santa Teresa di Gallura and Palau. There are also many pretty little fishing villages.

Sardinia is an excellent holiday destination - an unspoilt and beautiful island where you can relax in a haven of peace and tranquillity.

How to get there: Sardinia can be accessed by Cagliari, Olbia and Alghero airports.
