The heel of the ‘boot’ of Italy, with not just one but two coastlines, a Puglia property will never be far from the sea. Varying between excellent, sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs, the north of the region faces onto the Adriatic and in the south lie the Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Taranto.
While prices of property in Puglia are notably cheaper than those in Tuscany or Umbria, Puglia properties have been rising in price at an above-average rate. A long-standing favourite summer holiday destination for Italians, cheap flights to the area have opened up Puglia to UK visitors and home buyers, attracted by cheap character Puglia properties, good investment potential and excellent food, wine and climate.
Around the town of Alberobello, the distinctive ‘trulli’, conical-roofed stone house, provide a unique local architectural style that is proving very popular with overseas property buyers. Prices for property in Puglia vary enormously – it is possible to purchase a ruined ‘trullo’ in Puglia as a small but inexpensive renovation project, or spend rather more on a restored building incorporating several of these iconic structures.
Inland Puglia property tends to be favoured more by overseas buyers than the Italians themselves, who in general prefer a property in Puglia close to a beach. In and around towns such as Lecce, Foggia and Lucera there is a wide range of urban and rural Puglia property for sale at modest prices.
