Is Calabria the new area of Italy to be commercialised?

Hi Darren
Looks like changes are coming to Calabria, yes! Thomsonfly.com are flying to Lamezia during the summer months and there was an article in an english newspaper several months ago regarding the builiding of apartments etc which are soon to be built to accomodate more holidaymakers! I got the impression it was in the vicinity of Capo Vaticano!

Calabria is not a new holiday destination but an existing one unknown to Brits, the Italians have been going there for years therefore it is not as far behind as people imagine. It is stunning and I have just purchased a holiday home there and can´t wait to go back. Please let me know if you would like any information

Hi,

Just read your post, I have just bought a 2 bed apartment in Calabria & are thinking of renting it out as a holiday rental.

If you don't mind to answer the following: do you rent it out for holidays & if so how successful are you?

Regards

Hi,

Sorry to barge in, but I have just purchased a 2 bed apartment in Amantea & would also be thankful for any rental advise etc...

As i understand it, Calabria is Italys Cornwall )

Hi Andy,

Glad you barged in, we are not far from Amentea, in fact it is the nearest town to us.

Be interested to talk to you so if you want to do likewise then would be glad to hear from you.

Hi Mozza,

It would be great to meet up some time, our apartment won't be completed until nearer the end of the year, so we will only be going out this year to choose the tiles and kitchen etc...

My Aunt has purchased the apartment next door but one to us & hopefully she will be moving out there soon which means she can keep an eye on it for us.

Hi Andy,
Sorry for the delay in replying.

Can I pm you with my details?

Yes of course,

I have only just read this myself, I thought it would email me when someone replied!

I have just read a article, and it says that Lamezia airpot has shown a20% increase in the volume of passengers going through it. is this a sign of things to come do you think?

I certainly hope so

I just need any airline to start flying from Manchester or Liverpool.

or just a better time than 6a.m. to fly out.

Yeah, that would at least be a step in the right direction!

Hello, Austin, I envy you! It is wonderful to be able to chat like this. My husband and I plan on moving to Italy, my country of heritage. All of my grandparents were born in Sicily. Tell me, do you suggest renting first? Is it a project, for I know it takes a lot of research and energy just to make the move, and then to think of renting and then later searching for a 2 bedroom home. well... Maybe some input would be good.

Any problems with earthquakes, big ones, recently?
Also, I have read that homes are cheaper on the east coast. Why?
Thank you for listening.
