Those looking for good Italian property investments can find some of the best value on the island of Sicily, it has been stated.

A recent report by propertyshowrooms.com said: "Apartments and villas in Sicily comprise some of the best value real estate to be found in Italy, making the island a highly popular property location for overseas buyers," notes Finance Daily.

Finance Daily also revealed that Mark Slaviero, the director of Homes in Italy, had said prices will "definitely" rise in the south of the country over the next three years, making this a good part of the country in which to invest.

Part of the reason for this is that it is a relatively untapped market for investors, he explained.

The Daily Telegraph has stated that the island, the largest in the Mediterranean, has a strong rental market and is also a popular tourism destination, with three airports (Palermo, Catania and Trapani) providing airport access from Britain.
