hamlet of Mayen near Valtournenche in the Italian
Alps. It comprises of one main building which holds 14
apartments in it. There is then another building to the
side which has an extra two units. The development was
completed in summer of 2011 and there are just eight
units available for sale. They range from studio to two
bedroom apartments. The two studio apartments and
two of the one bedroom apartments also have separate
laundry rooms which, despite being legally classified as
such (due to low light level and window size) are often
used as additional bedrooms. There are windows in the
basement rooms but they are at ceiling level. All the
other apartments in the main building have a cellar space
in the basement. There is also a communal laundry room
in the basement
There are options of joining units to make larger ones.
Units 2 and 3 could be joined, removing unit 3’s cellar.
You could join either unit 1 or 3 to part of unit 2, or join
8 and 9 to make a larger apartment. Currently there are
two studio apartments, five one bedroom and one two
bedroom apartments available.
The materials used in this development are of a high
quality and have been assembled to create a traditional
feel. The exterior of the building is traditional with
local stone covering the corners and roof covering. The
garden is lined with flower beds and there are a number
of evergreen plants to ensure they last through winter.
The main entrance door is made from Walnut wood.
Inside there are real wooden floors giving the rooms a
modern clean edge. The bathrooms are tiled with top
quality tiles. There are radiators throughout the units
and a towel radiator in bathrooms. There is a thermostat
in each apartment to ensure you can keep an eye on the
heat level.

This includes a sauna and a Jacuzzi, ideal for relaxing
on a long day on the slopes. Each apartment also comes
with a parking space and an intercom with a button to

Turin airport is less that an hour away
Location
The location of this development is ideal. It is in the little
hamlet of Mayen located five minutes south of the Italian
resort of Valtournenche. Although it is a little outside the
main area it means that these apartments benefit from
very peaceful surroundings. Valtournenche itself is a
brilliant location on the Italian side of the Matterhorn;
you can even ski over the mountain to the Swiss resort
of Zermatt!
Turin airport is less than an hour and a half’s drive,
Geneva and Sion are approximately two and a half hours
away.
Great for late season holidays
Resort information
Valtournenche is one of a number of resorts that lies in
the Val D’Aosta region. This is one of the most fabulous
areas of the Italian Alps with Valtournenche sitting at
1524 m above sea level you are nestled into the alpine
surroundings. Edging along the Swiss border it includes
access to the impressive Matterhorn- the most iconic
mountain of the Alps. Valtournenche is part of the
Cervinia ski network which is ideal as one can ski to the
prominent Swiss resort of Zermatt- a real treat! There
are some of the best mountain restaurants in the Alps
around Zermatt as well as incredible views of the iconic
mountain. Foreigners cannot buy in Zermatt so being
able to get there on skis alone is the next best thing.
Valtournenche is a little hamlet set apart from the more
imposing purpose-built resort of Cervinia. Linked to the
ski system means that those in Valtournenche have the
best of both Italian and Swiss skiing. It is close enough
to Cervinia so you can visit the shops and activities but
with the wonderful Zermatt link on the other side. Being
a Hamlet it has a few shops and enough to keep you
occupied. It isn’t a party place though, so definitely
suited to those who want a more relaxing alpine retreat.

Purchase Costs
You can either choose to keep your apartment as a
private second home or you can rent your property out
when you are not using it.
If you choose to rent your property there are possibilities
to rent through a local agency and local companies will
also provide laundry and cleaning services for your
guests.
The purchase of an apartment becomes valid once the
owner is registered in the Land Registry. All the purchase
costs are payable by the purchaser. The costs for buying
a property in Italy are high compared to other European
countries and will be on average 13% of the purchase
price. These are payable to the notary immediately after
the final purchase deed has been signed.
Finance
Italian banks will lend up to 70% of the purchase price
and interest rates on a tracker mortgage are currently
around 3.5%. Mortgage rates vary depending on tracker
or fixed rate and your personal financial situation. We can
arrange a Barclays Italy bilingual consultant to contact
you to arrange an Italian mortgage.
Purchase costs are calculated as follows:
• 10% VAT on purchase price
• 2,000 euros or 1.5-2.0% of purchase price for Notary
fee, which ever higher.
• 168 euros registration tax
• 168 euros mortgage tax (even if a mortgage is not
taken!)
• 168 euros cadastral tax
• Lawyer fees (optional-it is recommended to engage
lawyer to ensure protection) – approx 2,000 euros or
1.5-2% which ever is higher.
• ALL PURCHASE COSTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN
THE FINAL PRICE
Part of Cervinia with access to Zermatt over the Matterhorn
Winter
The immediate area has 45km of slopes and then the
whole Cervinia network is reachable by skis, giving you
an area of 150km to explore. Most of the runs are at an
intermediate level but there are some for more advanced
skiers. This could keep you busy but the real highlight of
this area is skiing over the impressive Matterhorn to the
Swiss resort of Zermatt.
Valtournenche and Cervinia are part of the “Skirama
Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche Zermatt” ski network,
where it is possible to ski into Zermatt (Switzerland)
going over the Matterhorn.
Zermatt offers a huge ski area of 200km. There are
slopes for every level of skier and they are some of the
best and most stunning runs in the Alps. As foreigners
cannot buy in Zermatt this is a great connection.
Golf, hiking, mountain biking, and even glacier skiing!
Summer
Valtournenche in summer is all that you could want from
the mountains. The towering Matterhorn still has snow
at the very top giving the scenery a picturesque edge.
For activities, golf enthusiasts will be pleased that there
is a Cervinia golf course just 10 minutes away. Set at an
altitude of 2050m this is one of the highest courses in
Europe with spectacular views.
There are fantastic marked walks in the area as well. The
landscape lends itself to exploration either by foot or with
a mountain bike. The scenery is the primary enjoyment;
you’d be hard pushed to find more impressive views in
the Italian Alps.
If you really miss the skiing you can even head to the
Plateau- Rosà glacier at an altitude of 3480 m. Here you
can go skiing even during the summer months!
For ultimate relaxation there are also wellness facilities
located in a hotel ten minutes away which can be used
all year round for a full luxury experience.
