Those seeking to buy Tuscany property may look to the relatively undiscovered Lajatico area, it has been suggested.

In a report on the area, the Times has stated that while it is off the beaten tourist track, it still has the same scenery of rolling hills, cypress trees and olive groves that is typical of that part of Italy.

The report featured newly-restored properties in the area available to buy, with Tuscany property seekers being able to get a one-bedroom flat for £190,000 and a three-bedroom villa for £590,000.

It also noted that the area is conveniently located just 40 minutes’ drive away from Pisa Airport.

Being close to Pisa also means residents or tourist to whom investors may let the property can see the wonders of the historic city, including the famous leaning tower.

The tower, which was built in 1173, has had work carried out on its foundations in recent years to prevent it from toppling.
