ITALY
FOR SALE: IN CENTRAL ITALY
On the Adriatic coast, south of Abruzzo and north of Puglia, the little-known region of Molise is unspoilt and sparsely populated, dotted with small farms, nature reserves and vineyards. This is Italy’s second smallest region and also its newest, formed in 1963 when it separated from Abruzzo. Tourism is slowly increasing in mountain resorts such as
MOLISE
Campitello Matese and coastal towns like Petacciato Marina, Campomarino and Termoli. The village of Larino close to Termoli is becoming a favoured
destination, with pastel-painted houses in the historic centre partly restored with the aid of government grants. Visitors to Molise can choose between airports at Pescara, Naples, Bari or Rome. “Italy’s 20 regions all have their own special charm and culture,” says Barry Pearson of Discovering Molise (
discoveringmolise.com). ”Molise is a beautiful province off the tourist beaten track,
with golden beaches and countryside equal in beauty to its larger and more famous neighbours,” he adds. Pearson has a number of homes for sale focused around San Angelo, priced from €4,100 (£3,400) for properties requiring complete renovation, up to €48,500 (£39,900) for a two-bedroom restored house with cantina (wine/food storage room).
