Cheap property, white sandy beaches - we'll make a 'Sardo'
of you yet.
Sardinia - the original island in the sun
Sardinia has become a very popular location for ex-pats and Sardinian
property is always in demand.
Sardinia is Italy's second largest island in the Mediterranean and
covers over 9,300 square miles. The island is simply breathtaking and
its real estate and property market offers one of the greatest
moneymaking investment opportunities in the world. It is luring real
estate investors to rush towards Sardinian property. It is rapidly
becoming a property seekers magnet due to the picturesque and scenic
Italian architecture and countryside.
Sardinia is widely acknowledged for Alghero, which is quite a lovely
town that combines holiday resorts with a bustling fishing port. A big
secret is that the island is still underpopulated with only about 1.6
million people dispersed on this massive island. Sardinia has excellent
travel links to the mainland, with Alghero having an international
airport offering flights at minimal costs. There are also airports to
the south in Olbia and Cagliari. To the east coast is Costa Smeralda
airport.
Visiting your newly-purchased flat, apartment, house or farm in Sardinia
during the holidays is a simple matter. Regular modern ferry services
provide transport to Livorno, Toulon, Naples, Nice, Genoa, Sicily and
Marseilles. The latter options mean that there is no need to drive as
far as Italy - cross from the south of France. This ease of getting
about is a factor that prospective Sardinia property buyers usually find
very appealing.
For meals and outings, there are many new and old splendid hotels
serving rustic and hearty Italian and international cuisines. Wild boar
prepared in open fire cauldrons, lamb, myrtle-scented spit-roasted or
suckling pig pork, nougat, couscous, baked artichokes, aubergines,
Sardinian bread and percorino sardo a renowned pungent and salty cheese.
Sardinian wine includes Vermentino whites, Carignano, Giro and Vernaccia,
a type of sherry-wine which when sweet is drunk as a dessert wine, and
when dry, as an aperitif.
For museum and history lovers, discover the history of the Nuraghi, the
7,000 conical stone towers whose remains scatter around the island.
Sardinia has stretches of white sandy beaches overlooked by steep cliffs
dipping into clear waters that wash into beautiful and breathtaking
coves. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the most popular properties have been
at the coasts. Away from the coasts, however, there are massive tracts
of land and farms which can be bought very cheaply. If Sardinia 'takes
off' as it could well do, house prices will certainly soar making a
great deal of money for those with the vision to invest here.
There is an increasing demand for apartments, villas and other property
in Sardinia from both holidaymakers and investors due to the solid
infrastructure, ease of access and investment opportunity. Therefore, if
you are looking for beautiful beaches, a fantastic sea and over 10
months of sunshine every year, then your best bet is buying property in
Sardinia!
