All flight paths point to Italy property as a perfect investment opportunity, it has been claimed.

When making an investment abroad, practical considerations such as the length of travel to your chosen destination should be taken into account, according to Casa Travella, which recommends Italy property as an excellent choice on this basis.

Linda Travella of Casa Travella tells easier.com: "Once you own a home abroad it opens up a whole new lifestyle.

"One of the greatest delights of owning a home in Italy is the short flight time with some destinations only one hour 30 minutes [away]."

Another recommendation from Ms Travella for flight-savvy buyers is to make sure your chosen Italy property is close to a well-serviced airport which offers both budget and scheduled flights to the UK, offering maximum flexibility.
