Inland SALENTO have a number of historical charming villages with ancient history. The advantage to stay in a village is to be able to socialize with Italian neighbours, to walk to the cafe and buy a newspaper and a cup of coffee in the morning and having all amenities within reach daytime and nighttime. The townhouses often come with a garden and roof terrace. and its fascination to open the simple door from the street - and inside almost like a little palace with a garden!In Sternatina and Martignano to the south of Lecce, antique Greek is still spoken by the villagers.

WHY BUY IN APULIA?
Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Florence, Venice and at the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in the infrastructure, such as the improved motorways, enlarged airports and the introduction of low cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia and low means value for money at bargain prices for the international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia and in our opinion investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand. Also from north Italians as Apulia has become the most popular holiday destination for Italians. But rest assured, no tourist villages will ever be built because in Apulia the coastline is protected and people are against modern developments which do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties prices are bound to rise.

WHY BUY FROM APULIA
Firstly we are an English-speaking agency based in the middle of Apulia with local experience and can guide you to get the right property at the right price for you.
Secondly, we have personally inspected every property that we recommend to buy and do not list hundreds of properties but a smaller selection of properties which we believe offer good value to the buyer. In Apulia, many properties are offered at unrealistic prices, but we say no to sellers who want us to list properties for sale at silly prices.
We have many years of international property experience, including 10 years in London, and see investments in Apulia through a global perspective. We have been active in several EU property markets and specialize in property management to ensure well-maintained property for growth in property value.

Based on our 30 year of experience in the property markets, we have a comprehensive range of local services:

- acting for the buyer - and not for the seller - by searching the market for the right property, negotiating the price and give advice through the buying process leading to the completion of the purchase
- property management; we look after your property when you are away and ensure it is in perfect condition when you arrive. We will prepare a maintenance plan for annual maintenance and repairs of your property, which is essential to maintain and increase the property's value
- project management; we can be your local representative and manage any renovation or refurbishment. We will also advise on any value-added measures which could further enhance the capital growth of your property.
- lettings- we can assist you in the letting of your property and check in your tenants, deposit taking, checking out & inventory control.
