Tuscany in central Italy is a region known for its picturesque countryside, historic cities and world-renowned wines. The Tuscan real-estate market has experienced steady growth, with the average property price in Tuscany rising by 2.2% in 2021. Tuscan properties range from traditional stone farmhouses to luxurious villas with infinity pools and panoramic views of the rolling hills.
The historic cities of Florence, Siena and Pisa are among the most sought-after destinations for real-estate investors, offering a blend of ancient architecture, world-class museums and a vibrant nightlife. The surrounding countryside is also highly desirable, with many investors seeking properties with easy access to vineyards, olive groves and other agricultural land.
Tuscany offers several tax benefits for business owners. The region has a favourable tax regime, with a flat rate of 10% on income generated from certain activities, such as intellectual property and professional services. There is also a significant reduction in corporate income tax for companies that establish their headquarters in Tuscany.
With steady growth in property values and a diverse range of property types available, the region is poised to remain a popular choice.

Magnificent Villa In Dominant Position
Price: £3,483,104

The villa was owned by noble families and an important politician dating back to the fascism era (Count Ciano, Mussolini’s brother-in-law). The restoration work took five years, bringing the estate back to its ancient splendour and was completed with the original materials, where possible.

The principal villa is in excellent condition; however, the 4 annexes are only partially restored.
