2021 Blue Flag beaches: Ligurian sea is AGAIN the most pristine!

2016 Blue Flags

Region Liguria has again the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in Italy.

Clean waters, indeed “excellent”, crystal clear sea and beaches equipped with services, accessible to all and safe: 416 beaches were awarded in Italy, which correspond to 10% of the beaches awarded worldwide.

Blue Flags are international distinctions, created in 1987, with patronage and support from UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the World Tourism Organisation, which aims to promote a sustainable development at beaches and marinas through strict criteria such as water quality, environmental management, safety and services provided close to or within the beach area. To the Blue Flag Programme participate beaches and marinas in 41 countries of all the world.

Liguria again tops the regional table with 32 blue flags.

Brexit & Second Homes in Italy

Brexit

The UK’s departure from the EU will have consequences for Brits with second homes in Italy, or for those are looking to buy?

The simply answer is NO: unlike other countries in the EU, as France, in Italy there will be no changes for Brits from 1st January 2021.

Taxation on property in Italy is the same for Italians, EU citizens and non-EU citizens. Same easy rules if you buy, maintain or want to sell your property in Italy, no matter your nationality.

Moreover, considering that tax to pay when you buy a re-sale property and to maintain a property (re-sale or newly built) are calculated on the Tax Value “Valore Catastale” that in Liguria is sensible less (60/70% less) than the Commercial Value, the taxes to pay to buy and to maintain a property along the Italian Riviera are so much less than the ones to be paid in other territories, such as in neighboring French Riviera.
