6 good reasons why you should buy a property in Calabria. Calabria, the ‘toe’ of Italy, is an increasingly popular region being visited by growing numbers of Italians and tourists from all over Europe every year. One of the most unspoilt, idyllic areas of Italy, Calabria has near perfect weather all year round and a relaxed, very Italian way of life. There is a growing skiing industry in the southern regions, increasing still further the potential for property rental. Currently there is no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and the wealth tax is o­nly 0.4% of the property value, which all adds up to huge savings o­n your investment. Like the food they love, the Calabrese people are fiery and warm, open and welcoming. They will adore your children, welcome you into their homes and generally treat you like long lost friends. A little money in Calabria can go a long way!
