/24-7PressRelease/ - LONDON, UK, July 16, 2008 - At a height of 1300 meters, Villars is the closest ski resort to Switzerland's beautiful Lake Geneva and it is here that PURE marketing a selection of 20 exclusive three and five bedroom apartments boasting spaces of up to 2,400 sq ft and amazing mountain views.
Perfect as a summer or winter retreat, the properties at Le Cantarella are arranged across four traditional Swiss chalets, all designed in tune with the architecture of Villars. Finished to the highest standards, all apartments feature open fire places and either a balcony or a garden. There is also direct access to saunas, a fully heated swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a gym and an outdoor BBQ area with children's play area.
Easy access
International access is made easy with Sion airport just 45 minutes away and the busy cities of Montreux and Geneva only 30 and 90 minutes drive respectively, offering five star cuisine along with a wide mix of more traditional cafes and bars. Local travel around Le Cantarella is also easy too; the onsite concierge provides a shuttle service to the ski lifts and other nearby attractions.
Local activities
Aside from the 120km of beautifully groomed pistes, there are numerous other winter activities to try out, including ice climbing, snowshoeing, ice skating and sledging. During the summer months, golfing, mountain biking and hiking all contributed to the fun and adventure on offer all year round.
Eco friendly build
As well as offering luxury mountain living, the apartments at Le Cantarella are also highly energy efficient. The developer has constructed a system that siphons heat off the sewage pipes that pass across the site and uses those kilojoules to generate energy, which is then used for the central heating and hot water throughout the development as well as heating the swimming pool all year round.
This is a pioneering eco-friendly technique, the first of its kind to be included within a property development in canton Vaud, and any excess energy that is siphoned off is given back to the commune. This system also reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by 150 tons per annum and results in energy savings of around 60% for the owners.
Overall, the combination of high quality luxury properties, with a full list of amenities set in picturesque location makes this an exciting opportunity for both investors and owner occupiers.
