Investing in Calabria is not just about buying masonry, but above all about strategic capital management. Scalea, as one of the region's most charming towns, offers a unique opportunity to combine two rental models. During the high season (June-September), short-term rates fluctuate around €70-120 per night. The key is flats with terraces or sea views, which are in the highest demand.
In the off-season, it is worth considering long-term rentals, which provide a steady income despite lower daily rates. Importantly, the annual cost of living in the region is extremely low - the IMU tax for a €50-70k flat is just €300-700 per year. This makes the break-even point achievable even at moderate occupancy rates. A well-managed property can yield an annual return of 6-9%.
