“Stupendous,” I say about 20 times en route from Reggio Calabria Airport up to the coastal town of Tropea.......

But my husband, Ed, only glances at the views as he maneuvers the rented Fiat 500X along squirrelly roads pocked with holes.

Людмила, Добрый день! Я не забыла про отзыв, но не было времени его написать. Прошу прощения. Прочитайте, пожалуйста...

Siamo una giovane coppia di Firenze originari del Sud Italia. Amiamo il mare cristallino della Calabria e circa una/due volte l'anno organizziamo una vacanza alla scoperta dei piccoli e caratteristici borghi. Pizzo è il nostro luogo ideale e cosi alla fine del 2018 abbiamo deciso di acquistare una casa per le vacanze.
Conoscere Ludmila Tanasiev, sales manager, ha reso tutto più semplice.

E' bastato elencarle le nostre esigenze e,rispettando il budget,  ha organizzato un tour di immobili perfettamente  rispondenti alle richieste. Il portfolio di Windrush Alliance è infatti ampio e vario.
Ludmila svolge il suo lavoro con puntualità, professionalità e competenza, conosce molto bene il mercato e riesce ad accompagnarti alla scelta in breve tempo. Individuata la casa ci ha poi supportati in tutte le successive fasi della compravendita con consulenza legale, fiscale e traduzioni (abbiamo infatti acquistato da venditore straniero).E' stata un operazione che non avremmo mai potuto fare da soli.

Dopo l'acquisto Ludmila ci ha permesso di conoscere il team di Apple Consulting, società di servizi post vendita alla quale ci siamo affidati per alcuni lavori all'interno della proprietà. Seguendo i consigli dei consulenti abbiamo arredato uno splendido solarium e reso l'appartamento più attuale.

Windrush Alliance e Apple Consulting sono realtà all'avanguardia per il Sud Italia, non pensavamo di trovare una rete  di professionisti cosi ben organizzata. Il Manager Director Richard è una persona affidabile e lungimirante.

Siamo molto soddisfatti dell'acquisto!

Grazie

An account of my experiences with my purchase of an apartment via Windrush Alliance in Pizzo.

I got in touch with the company the first time when I visited Pizzo in the summer of 2016 when my brother bought an apartment in the complex Borgonovo the summer before. I had been to Calabria several times before, but it was my first trip to Pizzo. I fell in love with the small town, its surroundings and not least all the people.

I thought that the standard of the apartments in Borgonovo was high and the staff I met were professional and pleasant. At home I started thinking about buying an apartment in Pizzo and for me it was obvious for many reasons to choose Borgonovo.

The process of buying an apartment in another country over the telephone is a different experience. The broker that I talked to and negotiated with by phone was very knowledgeable, professional but also nice and down to earth. I felt that I had come into the right hands and that it was quite the right decision to let Windrush Alliance handle my first international house purchase. The purchase and transfer of the apartment to me went very smoothly. I have always been well met by all the staff and very well looked after. I got help with the renovation and interior design. Regardless of whether I email or call and whether the questions are big or small, I always get help and it always comes to an end.

I am very pleased with the other services that the company provides, such as check-in, check-out and cleaning. Having Windrush Alliance in the background when you as a resident are in Pizzo is irreplaceable. The feedback I received from many of my guests is that there are few places that have such a service and that they appreciated it enormously.

I have had many good moments in Pizzo but also some inferior ones such as when a water pipe burst into the property and my apartment became damp damaged. Although this is not part of everyday life for the employees at Windrush Alliance, they handled this whole event very professionally. I received regular updates about the conversations they had with lawyers and insurance companies. Certainly, you need a little patience, but everything was arranged and now the apartment is renovated, and you cannot see any trace of the event.

Whoever reads this may notice that one of my best decisions in my life has been my decision to buy an apartment in Pizzo, Calabria. I have a place in Italy where I can go and spend time with loved ones, eat wonderful food and just enjoy life.

Last week our MD, Richard Hazel, the developer Agostino Naso, and one of our partners from the UK, Chris Baker of Rolfe East International had the opportunity to go onsite and spend some quality time going through progress till now and discussing ideas going forward. May\June is an extremely important time for Portobello Village as we are expecting many potential purchasers as well as existing clients inspecting the construction progress.

Easter, also called Pascha (Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday,is a festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.

Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as "Holy Week", which contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus.In Western Christianity, Eastertide, or the Easter Season, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks, ending with the coming of the 50th day, Pentecost Sunday. In Eastern Christianity, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the 40th day, the Feast of the Ascension.

Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts which do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars which follow only the cycle of the Sun; rather, its date is offset from the date of Passover and is therefore calculated based on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea  established two rules, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March,but calculations vary.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In most European languages the feast is called by the words for passover in those languages; and in the older English versions of the Bible the term Easter was the term used to translate passover. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, and include sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church,and decorating Easter eggs (symbols of the empty tomb).The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide.[19] Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades.There are also various traditional Easter foods that vary regionally.
