Tuscany property alternative hailed

The fractional option is a good way to get into Tuscany property ownership, it has been suggested.

Writing for the Independent, Janet Street-Porter stated that the popular practice of restoring old ruined farmhouses is harder to do than it once was, due to a lack of supply and the red tape involved.

She also commented that restoration in is very expensive and letting carries the risk of extra damage.

Ms Street-Porter said the solution could lie in fractional ownership, citing the example of the Borgo di Vagli hamlet project - where the whole medieval settlement was restored by architect Fulvio Di Rosa and is available on this basis - as a good example of such an opportunity.

Earlier this year, a survey by Italymag.co.uk based on the number of adverts placed per region for homes found that Tuscany was the most popular property investment area of the country.
