Launch of Portugal’s ‘Palacio da Quinta’ brings six star living to Europe
April 2008 sees the launch of Europe’s first six star hotel and residential resort – ‘Palacio da Quinta’, situated in the Algarve, Portugal’s most beautiful coastal region. The truly palatial development will comprise 80 luxurious apartments and penthouses set within 17 acres of lush sub-tropical gardens.
Residents’ every wish will be provided for by a central six star hotel, including private chef and butler, 24 hour concierge, chauffeur service, private jet and yacht charter. The resort will also feature indoor and outdoor swimming pools, 1000 square meter health spa, cinema, gourmet destination restaurants, bars, designer boutiques, tennis academy and offer preferred tee times and discounts on green fees at some of the finest golf courses in Europe.
Palacio da Quinta is the brainchild of internationally respected developers, the Imocom Group. Chairman, Alejandro Martins, comments “The ‘Palace’ is set to become one of the most sought after addresses in Europe, taking Algarve living to a whole new level of international opulence. Unsurpassed hotel services will be provided within the privacy, security and comfort of a personal home. The idyllic location of the Algarve is the ultimate setting!”
Portugal’s Algarve offers 300 days of sunshine, miles of sandy beaches, atmospheric village life and championship golf courses. With residential property prices rising continually, it is also an astute lifestyle investment. The Palacio da Quinta is situated within the Algarve’s exclusive ‘Golden Triangle’, adjacent to the elite Quinta do Lago Estate.
Each property will feature its own terrace Jacuzzi for complete relaxation and phenomenal specification throughout - including Italian marble flooring, fully fitted kitchens with Bulthaup units, home entertainment system, underfloor heating, aircon, video phone entry, indoor electric shuttering, central vacuum system and two underground car-parking spaces. Prices begin at £800,000 for a one bed apartment.
The UK unveiling of Palacio da Quinta will take place in London at 11-12 St James Square on 29th April 2008 (Private Viewing) and 30th April -1st May 2008 (Public Viewing) from 10am to 8pm. For more details, call 0800 085 6907 or visit www.palaciodaquinta.com

Asics Inner Muscle Revolutionises Sport Clothing
High end sports clothing has recently gone down the route of tight elastic tops and shorts that initially appear about 4 sizes too small for the athlete. The theory is that the tops provide more overall support to muscles, which improves performance. Asics, a leading trainer company, has taken this technology one step further. Lusso took a look.

Did Russian billionaire buy 496 million euro property?
Recently, it was reported that Villa Leopolda was sold to a Russian billionaire for just under 500 million euros. It soon revealed that Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov was behind the sale. As is the habit with Russian oligarchs, Prokhorov made his billions in precious metals. In 2007 he launched a $17 billion private investment fund, so he was definitely wealthy enough to purchase the property.
