Tuscany property seekers could find some exciting prospects for investors in the south of the region, it has been suggested.

Speaking to Country Life Magazine, Bill Thompson of the firm’s Florence office said those looking at the Tuscany property sector should consider the south, commenting: "It is an emerging area, especially if the airport opens up in Siena."

Discussing other locations in this part of the region, he added: "Maremma, Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala are already established with Italians, and the Argentario has always been popular."

The Siena airport website records that the facility has been undergoing extensive development work in recent years to expand its operations.

Major changes have included lengthening the runway by 105 metres, a new aircraft parking area, a perimeter road and new safety measures.

According to Discovery Tuscany, Siena itself is "probably" the most attractive medieval city in the whole of Italy.
