The popularity of property in Puglia is on the up, according to one firm.

The area, which boasts the fastest-growing economy in South Italy, is seeing increasing interest from British expats, Apulia Property Design said this week.

Speaking to A Place in the Sun ahead of the portal's live exhibition in Birmingham next month, the firm said that the lifestyle and financial appeal were driving demand.

"The growing attraction to Puglia is driven by the quality of life, the sandy beaches, the excellent local foods and wines and the amazing architectural heritage this area has to offer," founder Annalisa Bruno commented.

"Land and property values remain far lower than in many other Italian regions. However, they are rising steadily and more quickly than anywhere else in Italy," she added.
