The decision on the location of a property is crucial to its profitability. Flats close to the sea are very popular with tourists, especially during the summer season. The sea view and quick access to the beach allow higher daily rates.
Properties in the centre of Scalea, on the other hand, are more versatile. They work well for both short-term and long-term rentals. The proximity to shops, restaurants and the train station increases the attractiveness for tenants in the off-season.
The best investment solution often turns out to be a compromise - a location within walking distance of the sea, but with full urban infrastructure.
