Choosing the right asset in a region such as Calabria is crucial for investment success, as the market offers great diversification. Based on our analysis of the market in and around Scalea, we have identified five types of property with the greatest potential:
- Holiday flats by the beach: Located in resorts such as Scalea or Tropea, they generate the highest daily rates in high season (€70-120). Key features include a terrace or balcony and proximity to the sea.
- Houses in historic centres (centro storico): These properties gain tremendous value after renovation and are ideal for conversion into boutique B&Bs or high-standard flats, attracting tourists seeking authenticity.
- Village houses (casali): Situated in larger areas, they provide an excellent base for agri-tourism, which is gaining in popularity among those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of cities.
- Modern flats in complexes with swimming pool: They are most trusted by foreign investors (Germany, Poland, UK) because they offer a ready standard and additional amenities that make renting easier.
- Properties for renovation: Often available for token sums, they offer the highest potential capital appreciation on resale, although they require close supervision of the renovation process.
