Five Star Riviera

LONDON - Overseas Living magazine is proud to announce VFI Overseas Property - based in Calabria, Southern Italy - has won the award for Best Five Star Development in Italy, as part of the magazines Luxury Lifestyle Awards, 2009.

VFI Overseas Properties is proud to be one of the largest real estate agents and developers in the area, now boasting an exceptional portfolio of land and property, and thanks to its pioneering moves to promote southern Italy it has subsequently brought considerable investment into the region: 3,500 properties being constructed with a value of EUR420m and many more developments to be released, this is now being matched by Italian government and EU funding. This has been helped by the region’s natural attractions for property buyers and investors being less than three hours flying time from northern Europe, and yet offering an unhurried lifestyle within a European infrastructure that is hard to beat. The VFI confidence to invest further in the region is backed by sound economics. Even in today’s economic situation, many experts predict capital appreciation of between 25-35 percent per annum and the investment doubling in under five years.

VFI is the largest real estate agent developing Calabria with many developments being released to their worldwide clientele. With properties from as little as EUR69,000 up to the more exclusive luxurious villas of EUR800,000. VFI are very mindful to supply the right products to all their clients from the individual to the family, looking for an affordable holiday home, to the successful business person, thus catering for everyone’s financial requirements, lifestyle and investments.
