Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'Alunzio A pair of properties contained within the same detached villa, Casa Gullotti comprises a fully renovated and joyfully traditional three-bedroom home on the upper floor, and a restoration project space on the ground floor. Set into the hillside, just three kilometres inland from Sicily's north coast in the lower hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park, it enjoys fabulous sea views from the windows, gardens and all three balconies. A Classic Home Beautifully Restored The upper floor is a real classic of Sicilian style. The patterned floor tiles are locally produced and a great example of the design school that finished many of the great houses of the region. You will also note the quality of the marble finishings in the two bathrooms, and the characteristic fixed oven in the kitchen, built into a solid counter that has been finished in a bright checkerboard tile. The three double bedrooms are all large, and two have their own balconies. One overlooks the sea to the north, while the other gets day-round sunshine on the souther side of the property. In the middle, facing east towards the region's spectacular sunsets, is a living room with a balcony of its own. 120m2 to Renovate The ground floor is identical in size, with a front door to the south and direct access onto the gardens. It is in need of a total renovation, including new plastering, wiring and plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen and all decoration. However, the structure of the building is sound. It is fully independent of the upper apartment, meaning that it would be perfectly possible to sell one on and cover the costs of the other, or to let one as a holiday home. The space outdoors is not well maintained but with some investment of time and/or money could prove a really sunny and scenic spot in which to spend long afternoons or eat outside in the warm summer evenings.
