The health-giving air of Italy's Tuscan coast promises great investment opportunities for overseas property hunters.
When it comes to Tuscany, rolling hills and olive groves are how even the most ardent lovers of La Dolce Vita picture the area. But head to the Litorale Pisano, situated between Livorno and Pisa, and an idyllic coastline comes into view, one boasting ten kilometres of unspoilt, sandy beaches, backing onto lush pine forests.
The Italian Government chose the Litorale Pisano as the ideal site to build sanatariums and facilities to boost public health back in the 1800s, and these magnificent edifices are now being lovingly restored for purchase by both native and overseas investors.Near the seaside villages of Tirrenia and Marina di Pisa, in the local area surrounding the mouth of the River Arno, stands one such magnificent building, Villa Regina-Elena. Situated close to the bustle of Tirrenia and the pastel-coloured villas of Tirrenia, just a few paces from the sea, Villa Regina-Elena has been converted into 20 luxury apartments, with prices starting at €380,000 (approx £257,000).
Litorale Pisano still sounds good for your health, and maybe your wallet, too...
