Italian Residence Clubs to attend The Italian Festival 11-14 March 2010: Business Design Centre, Islington, London

Italy, January 30, 2010: Italian Residence Clubs will attend The Italian Festival in London in March to showcase its properties in Italy and highlight exclusive opportunities for ownership, in addition to showcasing the wines of Tenimenti Luigi d' Alessandro.

Hosted by La Dolce Vita 2010, The Italian Festival is a venue promoting unique prospects for vendors seeking to display top quality products and services to a discriminating audience. In an atmosphere that fosters the finer aspects of Italian culture, the Italian Residence Clubs will be sponsoring three properties located in the Tuscan town of Cortona, intended to demonstrate distinction in design and excellence in ownership:

Borgo Syrah, which is situated on land once housed by medieval nobility, has been custom redesigned by one of Italy's premier designers into a vineyard estate offering exclusive villas and luxury apartments, each of which encompass fractional vineyard ownership of the renowned Tenimenti d'Alessandro.

Manzano is a golf resort spanning over 200 acres of land in Cortona. It features an 18-hole championship golf course commissioned by Gary Player Design, along with a luxury hotel, and residences in the manner of detached villas, as well as townhouses formed around a medieval-style square.

Villa Petrischio offers exclusive holiday residences on the grounds of an 18th Century mansion. Situated in a park-like setting, this enchanting resort includes the outstanding 4-star Relais Villa Petrischio, and offers magnificent views of the quiet Valdichiana, a rolling countryside of sunflowers, vineyards and olive trees.

Italian Residence Clubs is a marketing and real estate firm servicing high-end resort properties in Italy. As leaders in private residence clubs and fractional properties, Italian Residence Clubs and its sister organization, Caribbean Residence Clubs, operate exclusively in international real estate sales, marketing and development. The properties assigned to Italian Residence Clubs are distinctive, featuring qualities that integrate history, culture, wine, art and luxury.
