Explore Calabria with VFI Overseas Property ...

A Place in the Sun will be held in Earl’s Court, London between March 11-13.  The popular exhibition is organized twice annually- in March and October each year.

VFI Overseas Property had emphatically made its presence felt at the two editions of the event last year. The aesthetically pleasing booth, designed to the same high standards that characterize all of the company’s marketing efforts, was certainly the cynosure of all eyes.

The only company to represent Calabria/Italy at the exhibition, VFI’s booth showcased the beauty and attractiveness of Calabria as the ideal overseas property destination. Prospective buyers thronged the VFI booth, attracted no doubt by the amazing value property buys in a truly amazing part of the world. The idea of a fabulous quality of life that Calabria has to offer at a price that is a fraction of what living in some other parts of Italy or the rest of Europe would cost certainly resonated with the visitors.  With the VFI stamp of quality, reliability and excellence to back the promise, Calabria proved to be irresistible.

It’s certainly a matter of great pride that VFI Overseas Property's presence’s at this exhibition certainly enabled many buyers to find their own magnificent place in the sun – in Calabria.

VFI Overseas Property is inviting more buyers to experience the magic of living in the Southern Italian Riviera. What better time than now to come and explore Calabria and make the choice of a lifetime. Life will never be the same again!

A Place in the Sun – Magazine (March 2011)

This month we peer into the Spanish property market to see how repossessed properties are being released by banks after countless developers defaulted on loans and what you need to know to take advantage of this new housing stock.

We visit the new resort on the coast of Hurghada, Egypt to take a look at how they are dealing with a country under transformation and see how people there view Egypt's changing circumstances. We also call in at Cyprus and see why families and professionals are making the move to a country increasing its appeal to businesses and parents.

For those who are interested in Florida and renting a property, we have rounded-up a not-to-be-missed report on Florida's zoning laws governing the local lettings and rental market and see how the Florida property market is heating up.

We look at alternative destinations in the Algarve, taking to the hills and following British families as they seek the solitude of in-land country. And we meet the couple who keep changing company and country in Meet the Guesthouse Owners.

There¹s also the usual round-up of the best properties currently available from around the world and a special word from presenters Jasmine Harman and Jonnie Irwin on their time filming the first episode of the new series of A Place in the Sun: Home or Away?
