Versilia tops luxury statistics for Italy’s most expensive municipalities
Municipalities in Versilia – luxury and élite in the real estate market
Versilia – beach, restaurants, shopping, and luxury locations for homebuying. It is proven by the market analysis published by Idealista, according to which Versilian municipalities are the most expensive in Italy and at the top of the list with important Italian cities. Broker Immobiliare Exclusive Real Estate lists luxury villas for sale in Versilia, an élite Tuscan area.
Despite the pandemic, Versilia doesn’t lack for market demand for luxury properties. According to several polls during the last two years, those who can afford it are after second homes by the sea or in the countryside to evade the daily grind of the cities. The need for a second home in the quiet of nature or provincial areas is especially deep after long lockdown periods. While the pandemic curve will flatten little by little, the desire for wide, livable spaces has soared and keeps growing. There is an ample choice for this kind of location in Versilia, which also is the most expensive élite area in Italy.
While Forte dei Marmi is renowned as a seaside location soaked in luxury, from its beaches to its hotels to its shops, Pietrasanta still has its medieval look with its narrow lanes and churches, and it is surrounded with hills and the Apuan Alps standing high behind them. These are the two most expensive municipalities in Versilia for homebuying for the euro per square meter ratio.
Idealista analyzed municipalities with at least 2000 listings published in its database to draw the list. The municipalities of Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Camaiore, and Viareggio are among the Italian municipalities with the highest price for square meter ratio. In Forte dei Marmi, the amount is € 7,332 per square meter, in Pietrasanta around € 4,182, Camaiore € 2,929, and lastly in Viareggio around € 2,660. It is not surprising to see Forte dei Marmi in first place, as it has always been an élite destination for beach tourism, a sector that attracts tourists who then become buyers, especially from Russia.
Seeing Forte dei Marmi one place over Venice and Pietrasanta one place over Milan in Idealista’s statistic, which includes Milan, Florence, Rome, and Bologna, is proof of these Versilian locations’ prestige. While they aren’t big cities or metropolises, they are overflowing with culture, art, and history, and they attract tourists from the four corners of the world.
The situation is similar when it comes to municipalities with the highest median property prices. Venice is the only big city on the podium, while Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta are in first and second place respectively. Camaiore is in fourth place. All the above mentioned big cities are in the last ten places.
While the other side of the coin shows big cities topping statistics for the most in-demand municipalities, the pandemic has caused a true mass migration from big cities towards the sea and countryside, especially in the early stages. Those who could, spent the long lockdown periods teleworking in the comfort of wide indoor and outdoor spaces, and the trend of owning a second house far from big cities isn’t showing any sign of abating soon.
