Il Podere The swimming pool at La Castellina apartments in Tuscany   Siena
Investment Potential
This property of 11 units and surrounding land in a prime tourist zone represents a real investment opportunity. Tourism is nothing new to Tuscany - people have been visiting the area for the past 600 years. It is the main industry of the area, and there is substantial support both from regional and local entities, and from central government. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the amount of land might enable the property to be reclassified as an 'agriturismo', if it were to be developed agriculturally, allowing substantial tax breaks, though this would require owner occupancy. The owner would pass on existing schedules, contacts and contracts.
Below is a table showing the rents of the units for holiday letting. It is let for a shorter period of the year than most comparable properties. This is the choice of the present owners, who are selling due to advancing age.       I have presented two scenarios based on the actual weeks let at two comparable properties in the Chianti/Senese area in 2008. We can recommend a local letting agency which is skilled at maximizing letting potential, having contacts all over the world. The owners are wishing to retire in the very near future, and  are therefore willing to accept a price substantially  below its recent valuation of 3.2 million euros. Offers around 2.5 million euros would almost certainly be acceptable.

Yield
10 of the 11 units are let at present, for a limited season.
