Some of Italy’s most beautiful towns and villages are located in the north of the country. The wonderful location and amazing scenery make Northern Italy an increasingly popular choice for those in search of an idyllic holiday retreat.

Properties are attractively priced and offer the property investor or second home hunter excellent value for money.

If you're looking for a property as beautiful as those found in Umbria and Tuscany, then why not turn your attention to Northern Italy. It has stunning natural scenery, historical towns and cities and...very affordable property prices. And with low cost airlines flying into many of the region's airports, the area is very accessible from the UK.
