Grottaferrata is a small town situated in the hills that surround Rome, called the Castelli Romani area, on the lower slopes of the Alban Hills. With its numerous churches, museums and fortress, this authentic village of Grottaferrata is one of the favorite destination for visitors searching for peace and cultural discoveries. This is also a vacation resort requisitioned by the popes as it served as a refuge to many religious figures over the centuries. The city center is very picturesque. One may walk through its lovely cobbled streets and stop in one of the many restaurants to sample its delicious local products.
The Rome real-estate market represents, with the one of Milan, almost 70% of the Italian housing sales. In 2006, the residential market reached its peak regarding the annual sales but due to the 2007 crisis, this market was considerably impacted. Since 2014, the sector has started to rise and this increase may stabilize over the years. This growth is favoured thanks to low interest rates on mortgage loans. Besides, since 2008, prices have been lower, which is a major advantage for investors. Despite the previous elements, the Rome real-estate market is particularly attractive for foreign investors. It is the perfect time to invest and realize a nice capital gain in the next few years.
