The Village, Valle Romano
The Village, Valle Romano
The Village at Valle Romano, a 150 hectare golf, health and leisure resort set just to the west of Estepona, offers a unique concept in holiday-home ownership. This is the only overseas development endorsed by 12 leading football clubs and leading names in sport, but it does not stop at simply endorsement, they are actually getting involved. The dozen clubs, namely Arsenal, Newcastle United, West Ham, Rangers, Sunderland, Bolton Wanderers, Leeds United, Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham City, Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur, have put their names to the project bringing enormous reassurance to investors and the future appreciation of their asset. These clubs will also use The Village for warm weather training, alongside other European teams, so you could spot your heroes practicing their set pieces in your backyard. Other luminaries you may spot include Spanish tennis heartthrob Rafael Nadal, Brazilian footballing genius Roberto Carlos and SKY presenter Clare Tomlinson, as all have secured property within The Village.Continuing the football flavour, SKYs Soccer Saturday anchorman, Jeff Stelling, is also fronting The Village publicity whilst Spurs goalie, Paul Robinson, has chosen the resort as the site for his flagship Paul Robinson Football Academy with summer soccer camps offering coaching for children by ex-pros, world class coaches and the man himself. The Village is undoubtedly a sporting mecca. The centerpiece is a 1,000m² state-of-the-art sports centre with football pitches, padel tennis and tennis courts plus beauty centre and social club. Three swimming pools (including both indoor and water therapy examples), a hi-tech gymnasium, restaurant, café, clubhouse, commercial centre, theatre and luxurious five star hotel with Spa and conference facilities complete the picture.
The 36-hole golf course that weaves through Valle Romano was designed by Cabell B Robinson, a man who needs no introduction, and not only is there a spectacular course, but also superb associated golfing facilities. The designers have installed a golf school with three-hole practice course and coaching given by bilingual professionals. Golfing legend Seve Ballesteros has put his name to Valle Romano resort as a whole and undoubtedly the gently undulating par 72 PGA standard course with wide fairways will have swayed his decision.
With a myriad of facilities and entertainment on site, some may only pass the 24-hour security guarded entrance gates at the end of their stay, but its a comfort to know that sandy beaches are within a 15 minute walk, home to the Valle Romano Beach Club for sampling seafood and supping wine with the sand between your toes.
Completion at The Village is penciled in for 2009 and prices start from as little as 240,000 euros for a two bedroom two bathroom apartment to include underground parking and a handy storage space. Favourable payment terms require a 3,000 euro reservation fee, 25% after 30 days and then 75% upon completion with mortgages available. All property will be delivered fully fitted and furnished ready for sunshine holidays.
