/24-7PressRelease/ - LONDON, UK, July 16, 2008 - Overlooking the glorious Lake Maggiore, Italy's second largest lake and part of the world famous Italian lakes region, Golfo Gabella is a stunning new development offering 90 one to three bedroom apartments priced from just 194,000. Set in five separate buildings with a communal swimming pool and wellness amenities, the properties also offer the opportunity to have your own private mooring on the lake.
The lakes of northern Italy are fast becoming one of the world's most prestigious second home destinations. They offer an outstanding range of four season activities and due to their location to the international airports and cities of Milan and Lugano, popularity amongst the international market and celebrities alike, is prospering.
Residents of Golfo Gabella will enjoy golf and water sports on Lake Maggiore throughout the summer months and up to November, whilst also taking in the breathtaking scenery, fantastic climate and the array of culture and world class amenities within the region. The winter offers skiing in the local resorts of Alpe Forcora and Cimetta, just 15 minutes away, with the more glitzy, challenging ski resorts within the Ursern Valley accessible within the hour. Further afield, it is possible to reach cosmopolitan St Moritz in three hours.
Sean Collins, Chief Executive Officer of PURE International, comments: "We have developed a very clear strategy to expand our portfolio in the Italian lakes as they offer affordable property in awe-inspiring surroundings. The properties we have launched on Lake Como and now on Lake Maggiore, have commanded widespread interest throughout the UK and we have already had a very strong following for Golfo Gabella. Along with the limitless lifestyle elements, the lakes also operate a greater capital appreciation than the rest of Italy, around 10% per annum, and due to the climate there are fantastic rental opportunities."
