Lazio, Italy - A Place in the Sun

Lazio, Italy, Laura Hamilton

Patricia and Mark from East Sussex, are keen to move to a country Mark has lots of connections with, and they’ve set their sights on the beautiful region of Lazio in Italy. Laura Hamilton leads the search to showcase the best of what their £330,000 budget can get them, but will any of the five properties result in an offer?   

About the area

To get to the Lazio region you fly into Rome which takes around two and a half hours from the UK – and my plan for this search is to look at properties to the north and west of the city. The Lazio region in central Italy genuinely has something for everyone – not least all the culture and history of the regional – and national – capital – but there’s also some stunning coastline,  as well as beautiful countryside with a landscape ranging from mountains to lakes, dotted with beautiful towns and villages – and while Lazio may not be as well known as some of its neighbouring regions, I think it offers everything they do – but with a crucial difference being the properties here are more affordable.
