Property firm highlights Tuscan fractional property appeal

A property firm has highlighted the sort of property that can be had on a fractional ownership basis in Tuscany.

Realpoint, which provides homes on such a basis in Italy, France, Greece and Turkey, revealed that one and two-bedroom residences are on offer in the hamlet of Borgo di Vagli, which dates from the 14th century and overlooks the 10th century Pierle Castle.

The village has a restaurant, heated swimming pool, two golf courses and concierge services.

In addition to this, the firm noted that the location is 40 minutes from Perugia Airport and is a "short, scenic drive" from Lake Trasimeno.

The company offers one-tenth ownership from EUR65,000 (GBP59,000).

As an alternative to Tuscany, the Times recently suggested that investors could find a good bargain in Bergamo.

Director of The Property Finders estate agency Barbara Wood told the paper the city is easily accessible now Ryanair is flying there.
