TO RENT OR BUY, OVERSEAS PROPERTY IS ALWAYS WORTH CONSIDERING

As UK property values settle down to merely sustained growth as the English market pauses - the answer of what to do could well lie abroad. This holds equally true for short or long-term rentals, or purchase for investment or pleasure. A quality property in beautiful surroundings with a virtually guaranteed climate is always attractive. A villa in Italy or Portugal, an apartment in Spain, a farmhouse in France, or a luxury house in Cape Town‘s most exclusive areas: all conjure an undeniable magic.

Ever since Robert Browning took Elizabeth Barrett Browning to live in Florence, Tuscany has long been a favourite venue of the English…

Bisected in the South by the River Arno and traversed by the medieval bridge, the Ponte Vecchio, the city of Florence remains one of the jewels of Western culture. The landscape of Tuscany, with its soft blue hills, neat rows of vines and slim spires of pencil cypresses enfolds its old and beautiful stone-built towns and villages: Chianti, Lucca, San Gimingnano, Montepulciano and Sienna, all as romantic as they are inspiring.

Within easy reach of these bases or within Florence itself are the very best properties, from apartments in converted palazzi to entire villas with their own olive groves.

      » A country of contrasts, Spain

Spain is one of the most exciting places to buy into…

Spain has it all from the smart, bright life of Barcelona against the backdrop of Gaudi‘s eccentric architecture to tapas bars in the lee of Moorish palaces of Cordoba and Sevills. In the South you‘ll find the sophisticated resorts of Marbella and Puerto Banus, and the jewel in the crown, Sotogrande. An hour‘s drive or less will take you to the simple peasant villages in the Andalucian hills and beautiful hunting palaces such as La Almoraima in AlcornocalesPark.

Abundant sunshine, superb golf courses, an efficient infrastructure and a large expatriate community make Southern Spain the ideal retreat. From old village houses to charming apartments in brand-new developments to luxury villas, Spain has something for everyone. For further information go to www.holmesotogrande.com

	We encourage you to discover the magic of living on Isla Tortuga where you will enjoy the wonderful sensation of being surrounded by the sea.
	Enclosed housing estate located between the Valderrama, Sotogrande, Almenara and San Roque golf estate
