RESIDENCE MARSA SICLA’ JOINS INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL’S GLOBAL NETWORK
INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATES ITALIAN RESORT
LONDON, June 11, 2009 – Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services, has announced the affiliation of Residence Marsa Sicla’ on the southern coast of the island of Sicily to its vacation exchange network.
Located in Sampieri near Pozzallo, the residence is made up of 82 apartments with each having either a covered veranda and/or a private garden. Amenities at the resort feature areas for relaxing, for fun and for young guests, including sporting facilities, swimming pool, solarium and a club house. In the club house there is a restaurant, a bar, a mini market and a music area in the central patio.
Pozzallo is a town in the province of Ragusa with four beaches awarded the Blu flag by the Foundation for Environmental Education. This prestigious award is given to beaches that meet strict criteria dealing with water quality, safety and other services. The Port of Pozzallo is overlooked by the Cabrera tower which was used to defend against the Turkish invasions in 14th and 15th centuries. A high-speed ferry links Sicily and Malta which is about 90 minutes away.
"We are very happy to have added Marsa Sicla’ to our global network,” said Silvia Colonna, Interval International’s sales and service manager for Italy. “The resort is moments away from the beach and the town of Pozzallo and perfect for those wanting both relaxation and activity. The province of Ragusa has changed dramatically over the last 20 years largely due to tourism; however, many areas remain untouched by the last two centuries and have escaped any modernization”.
Roberto Giardina, director of sales for Marsa Sicla’ S.R.L added, “We have always had positive experiences with Interval and we are happy to associate Marsa Sicla’ to its quality network. This will enable us to promote our property as a unique vacation package and we look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship - for us and our members.”
