Rimontgó was represented by both its principals, José and Antonio Ribes Bas, an indication of how important this region is becoming in the international luxury property market.

While this has undoubtedly helped to make the lives of individuals more interesting, the changes wrought by constant connection to the World Wide Web have had an even more profound effect on companies' marketing strategies.

This new addition to the online family joins the Spanish, English, German, French and Russian sites and will hopefully increase the company's international profile still further. The world of international property is fascinating and rewarding, but it faces those who work within it with extraordinary challenges, the most important of which is to offer a truly first class service to its valued clients.

While the initial shock of the financial crisis kept many at home, European tourists have gradually started coming out of their shell again, rediscovering the continent’s sunny spots with renewed vigour. Spurred on by attractive prices, and put off by the cost of long-haul holidays to former favourites such as Thailand and Australia, the number of visitors to European classics such as Spain and Portugal is on the rise again. As a result, Spain in particular has enjoyed a very good tourist season so far, with over 9 million international visitors recorded in the first quarter of the year, and the country accounting for almost a third of the British tourist market. What is the relevance of this increase in tourist visits to the property market in Spain?

At the annual strategic meeting, hosted by Von Poll Immobilien, in Frankfurt in October last year, the members however decided that the stage had been reached for EREN to evolve to the next level. Now, it has been decided to relinquish the association structure in favour of a more professional organisation that will be aimed at expanding EREN’s presence in more countries, regions and cities across Europe.

Admittedly Rhode Island is both one of the most historical and sophisticated parts of the US, but the elegant Belcourt Castle is an estate that would not be out of place among the finer chateaux of France. Located in one of the most prestigious parts of Newport, within grounds that straddle the water, this 19th century masterpiece is clearly inspired by the styles of la belle France. Constructed under the supervision of Richard Morris Hunt, Belcourt is indeed styled on the original hunting lodge of Louis XIII at Versailles, and the three hundred skilled workmen who laboured on it have left architectural and decorative detailing to rival that of the original palace in France.

Life was lived on a grand scale then, a fact that is confirmed by the magnificent proportions of this superior Newport, Rhode Island villa. Built for Fairman Rogers, the subject of Thomas Eakins's celebrated 19th century painting, 'Fairman Rogers Four-in-hand', the property was later sold to the Drexel family who, like Rogers, hailed from Philadelphia and who immediately set about renovating and extending it, building the impressive Trumbauer ballroom and turret. Local opinion states that the Drexel residency marked Fairholme's heyday; the family's guest list was impressive, featuring many of the 20th century's most illustrious names.
