When one thinks of Italy, the first thing that comes into their mind is the city of Venice and Rome. Thousands of tourists visit these remarkable places every year. With beautiful homes and friendly people, many people from all over the globe would love to visit Italy. After all, who would not want to see the astonishing landscape consisting of mountain ranges as well as buildings and structures that bring back the memories of the renaissance era?

there’s one place in Italy that a growing number of people wish to holiday and live is Calabria.

This region is very distinct when compared to other Italian regions. Although Calabria does not have any as many medieval prestigious structures, one of the main attractions of this region is its beautiful clear waters and the Aspromonte massif. The lovely blue waters of Ionian and Tyrrhenian Sea, dramatic coastline and the flora and fauna of the Pollino Mountain and the massif forms make this region a paradise for every person who needs a relaxing atmosphere.

And do not forget the favorite sports in the region such as kayaking, scuba diving, water skiing, canoeing, snorkeling as well as fishing. The of course the white sands make it ideal for vacationing.

Purchasing a Calabria property is not as difficult as acquiring a property in other more traditional cities and regions in Italy where property prices are a lot higher. Calabria property is relatively cheaper and there a number of good banks willing to provide mortgages.

There are many properties that provide the owner a breath-taking view of the coastline as well as the mountains. For sure, these properties are the high demand. For these reason, most people seeking property for sale in Italy are very attracted to acquiring a Calabria property.

As mentioned, the prices of majority of real estate properties in Italy are relatively expensive but in Calabria, prices start are a lot lower. The reason behind the difference of prices is that up until a few years ago Calabria was relatively undiscovered by tourists as the infrastructure and access to Calabria wasn’t great. Calabria is now on many peoples minds and now new roads and low cost flight costs are helping Calabria evolve into a favorite tourist spot.

One to Watch in 2010 – Hidden Gem of the French Alps Revealed
With France easily at the top of the charts in a recent survey of the top 10 winter ski resort destinations by budget airline easyJet, it is obvious that the British love affair with the French Alps is as strong as ever.

As was probable the high ranking resorts included Chamonix, Avoriaz, Meribel and Les Arcs but according to the French Ski property experts at Experience International, Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise, the hidden gem of the French Alps, is the location to keep an eye on in 2010.

Centrally situated in the Tarentaise Valley, home to notable resorts including Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne and La Rosiere, Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise has long been the preserve of experienced guides bringing people over from Val d’Isere which is just ten minutes away to enjoy the famous powder and off-piste skiing in the area. As Experience International’s MD Steven Worboys Stated,

“Sainte Foy is the ideal resort for both beginners & experiences skiers. The traditional Savoyard architecture, stunning scenery and relaxed family atmosphere appeal to real mountain lovers. The attractiveness and number of people seeking to enjoy Sainte Foy is only going to increase in 2010.”

Sainte Foy is proving not only an attractive winter vacation destination but also the ideal 2nd property destination due to its easy access from the UK (under 2 hours drive from Geneva which operates numerous direct budget flights to the UK), all year long attractiveness and cost of property up to half that of nearby areas.

With current concerns over the UK sterling strength investors are being cautious about committing to euro property purchases but as Steven Worboys explains, this should be of minimal concern as long as you invest in the correct development:

“In order to reduce exposure to the current weakness of the Pound investors should look for leaseback properties which require low deposits. The La Chapelle ski-in ski-out apartments for example can be invested in for a low 5% deposit to secure with 95% finance available.”

Well situated leaseback properties in particular are very attractive France investment property options for investors who can secure guaranteed rental returns for 18 years plus, index-linked, as is the case with La Chapelle as well as enjoying flexible personal usage.

Investment in the 4* luxury apartments in Sainte Foy is from as little as €12,000 which includes furniture, parking and purchase costs.
