Those investing in Tuscany property will find more prospects than just old homes in the countryside, it has been reported.
In a feature on urban holiday homes, the Times noted that the Tuscany property scene has witnessed a recent shift of buying to urban centres such as Florence, according to Knight Frank.
Discussing rental property in the city, Kate Stinchcombe of Holiday Lettings told the paper: "Two-bedroom properties at the lower end are selling for similar prices as one-bedders, but they can fetch £600 to £1,800 a week in rental income."
Such potential returns may attract investors to Florence and other Tuscan towns and cities.
Another good reason to invest could be the popularity of Italy as a holiday destination.
Last week the Daily Telegraph revealed that its readers had voted the country their favourite destination in Europe, noting that Tuscany is one of the best-loved regions.
