Prices start at £190,000 for a one-bedroom flat, rising to £590,000 for a three-bedroom villa with two bathrooms and a large garden. The development includes a swimming pool, a play area for children, a solarium and part ownership of the private olive grove, which is ideal for picnics and barbecues. The shops and town square are a couple of minutes’ walk away. As part of the plan to integrate buyers into the community by creating jobs, the optional services on offer include baby-sitting, cleaning, gardening and shopping.
The show flat should be ready for viewing from next March; and, having seen the style of the scheme, potential buyers will be able to choose the kitchen fittings and other finishes. “We will encourage buyers to follow our commitment to using only locally sourced materials in the traditional style,” Catalona says.
Realitalia, which is an offering an on-site management service, reckons buyers who wish to let out their properties should be able to do so for 15-20 weeks a year – producing an annual income, after management fees, of £11,800 for the two-bedroom flats, which are priced at about £235,000.
