Appartamento Porto - Palermo A modern studio flat on the eighth floor of a Palermo block, Appartamento Porto would make a very convenient base in the city. A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE STUDIO WITH A GREAT BALCONY The apartment measures 30m2, and over 25m2 of this is given to a single open-plan living space. The majority is a rectangular area with space for sleeping, work and relaxation. At the far end is a bathroom with a tub and shower attachment, and a kitchenette. Along the long side of the space, a balcony follows the southern wall for the entire length of the flat. Two windows look out onto this, and a double French window gives you direct access. It's just a few centimetres too low to offer a sea view to someone of average height, but if you're very tall you may catch a glimpse of the water! SOLD TURNKEY, READY FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPATION The apartment is furnished and, although you may well want to update some of the contents, it is ready to be used straight away. There is a double bed, sofa, desk and two wardrobes. The windows are modern and efficient, with dark roller blinds to help you get a good night's sleep. The kitchenette is fitted with cupboards, a sink and a worktop. There's a washing machine and fridge. The vendor has previously made use of an electric hotplate and free-standing mini oven for cooking needs. The bathroom has a lightly patterned tile on the walls and floor, as well as the usual ceramics. AN EASY-TO-NAVIGATE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF A FASCINATING CITY The neighbourhood, unlike some of Palermo's more historic districts, is quiet and residential, although some of the units on the lower floors of the building are given to office space and other commercial uses. You will find a supermarket very close at hand, as well as many other shops, restaurants and bars. The city centre is a walkable 20-30 minutes away. Public transport links are good, with plenty of buses and a train station five minutes' walk from the front of the building. The port and the ferry terminal are especially convenient, and the airport can be reached by car in half an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Michele - Porticello In the heart of the small fishing village of Porticello, twenty minutes from Palermo on Sicily's north coast, Casa Michele is a ground floor apartment that would make a superb holiday home or retirement property. 130M2 OF OUTDOOR SPACE The biggest selling point of the ground-floor apartment is its outdoor space. You'll love the shady veranda at the front of the house, and the courtyard that wraps around the side and rear is deep and versatile. In total there is 50m2 of covered patio and about 80m2 open. It's currently mostly concrete, with only a small sliver of flowerbed down the side of the property, home to three of four small trees. With some climbing plants growing up the iron railings and a bit of turf or more soil, however, we think it could make a really lovely green garden. There is plenty of on-street parking available, but at the front a double gate opens to allow you to leave multiple cars on the veranda if you prefer. ROOMY, RENOVATED AND IN GREAT CONDITION Indoors, everything is spacious, simple and well-maintained. A recent renovation has taken care of the electrical and plumbing systems for many years to come, and all that needs to be done to complete the latter is to buy a new water heater and install a new kitchen. This will fit perfectly at the front of the long 30m2 living room, giving you bags of room at the other end for a cosy lounge area with sofas and a TV. A little corridor leads off to one side, bringing you to two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage cupboard. The guest bedroom isn't huge but it does have a direct access to the garden through a glazed door. The bathroom is spacious, and has a shower installed (you may want to add a cubicle). SEASIDE CHARM AND THE FRIENDLIEST NIGHBOURS It's a wonderful to wake up moments from the sea, and we're confident that you'll share our love for the traditional little community of Porticello. The fish market is a perfect treat for any chef, the seafront is a fabulous spot for an evening stroll and the number one international real estate business in Sicily has its headquarters two minutes from your front door! We'd love to welcome you to the neighbourhood... FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Ilona - Trabia With sea-view terraces and beautiful interiors, Casa Ilona is a great option for a mid-budget holiday home in northern Sicily. ONE BEDROOM AND ONVE VERSATILE LIVING SPACE The recently-renovated house is composed of a large living area, a compact bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. One end of the living room is given over to a kitchen, which has been beautifully fitted with custom-built wooden cupboards, worktops and drawers. The rustic charm is reflected in the exposed beams of the cottage ceiling, and the expensive travertine stone floors. The bathroom is comfortable and stylish, with a monochrome majolica tile print around the efficient modern shower. To one side of the home is a patio which has been partially covered by a fixed gazebo. This makes an unbeatable spot for outdoor meals and sunbathing. Underneath is a spacious garage with an automatic door, and a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine. There is additional space to park three or four cars off-road. A SCENIC SPOT WITH SEA AND COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS The property sits in 1,000m2 of sloping land, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea just four kilometres to the north. With a terraced garden both in front of and behind the home, there is plenty of outdoor space in which to grow flowers or vegetables, dine al fresco or just sit in the stillness of nature and enjoy the cooling breeze which brushes the scenic spot, 380m above sea level. If you want the best view of all, head up to the flat roof of the home, which is suitable for use as a patio. From here the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Termini Imerese are in full view, along with the green hillsides and neat rows of fruit and olive trees closer to home. CONVENIENT FOR THE BEACH AND FOR THE CITY One of the best beaches in this stretch of coastline, the romantic Ombelico di Venere outside San Nicola l'Arena, is just a fifteen minute drive away. If you are in search of something sandier you can head east to Casteldaccia or west to the long, quiet stretch of coast by Campofelice di Roccella. Beyond this is the sumptuous Cefalù, with its Medieval old town and UNESCO-protected cathedral. If you want to explore the island's urban life, a little over 40 minutes will bring you into Palermo, a huge, resurgent metropolis and Italy's fifth-largest city. Whether you want world class opera, international boutiques and fine dining, or street food, bustling markets and a passionately supported football club, there is something for you here. From the calm silence of Casa Ilona, however, the bustle of modern life feels half a world away. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

A SENSATIONAL LOCATION AT THE HEART OF AN ICONIC BEACH TOWN Every morning, as the sun rises over the timeless historic centre of Cefalù on Sicily's beautiful Tyrrhenian coast, the gentle tolling of the town's cathedral bells soundtracks the locals as they amble down to the bars on Piazza Duomo. Just metres behind this enchanting little corner of Golden-era Italy is a tight cluster of houses far out of the reach of motor vehicles, linked by staircases and steep cobbled footpaths. It's here that you will find Casa Morreale, a step back in time to an era where news travelled out loud from balcony to balcony, and the scent of your neighbour's cooking wafted into your home on the gentle sea breeze. It's only a five minute amble downhill to the sea, there are all manner of shops and restaurants on your doorstep and the footpath up to the best viewpoint beneath the summit of the famous Rocca mountain is right at the top of your street.

Casa Aldo - Castellana Sicula A three-bedroom property on three floors, the rural Casa Aldo is roomy, in good overall shape and fantastic value for money. THE FEELING OF BEING COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN NATURE Built a few hundred metres outside the small village of Castellana Sicula, Casa Aldo is close enough that you can choose to walk into town, but the surrounding thicket of pine and eucalyptus trees makes you feel half lost in nature. The views from the second floor windows and the marvellous open terrace outside the first floor living room are amazing, with a vantage point over the tops of those trees to the rooftops of Castellana. However, at ground level you feel surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, the scent of the trees and the gentle chorus of cicadas acting as a kind of sensory firewall from the cares of the modern world. This is a spot in which you can lose yourself in your thoughts, your work or the company of your family and friends. STURDILY BUILT AND SPACIOUS Casa Aldo is in fact half of what used to be a giant farmhouse, a testament to the region's once-dominant agricultural sector. Although it has now been turned into a twin pair of semi-detached homes, you'll still find more than enough space for even a large family to holiday in the summer, or in which to host guests all year round. The ground floor has a trio or large rooms with vaulted ceilings, once the stables of the villa and now a cool reception space that will make a great first impression. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor follows a similar plan, with a landing that flows into a living room and then a dining room. There is also a kitchen, another bedroom and another bathroom. The top floor has two large bedrooms and a bathroom. INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL TO MODERNISE AND EVEN EXPAND The property is in good overall condition, but some investment will be needed to repair a small damp issue. The infiltration can be eliminated by cutting back some large pine trees whose needles have clogged the gutters, but you will have to make good some damage. Aside from this, you might want to spend some money modernising the bathrooms and kitchen, but there is no urgent need to begin any renovation work. We think it would make a sensational summer base for the entire family, and there is even the possibility of buying the adjoining home and some of the surrounding land. A really inspiring property, full of potential – ask us more about Casa Aldo today. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villette Venere - Altavilla Milicia Currently approaching the final phase of construction, the twin villas of the Villette Venere in the northern Sicilian town of Altavilla Milicia are now available for advance purchase. LARGE THREE-BEDROOM, THREE BATHROOM HOMES Each of the twin homes will give around 180m2 of indoor space, with by far the largest single area the expansive living room on the ground floor. Its 40m2 will in reality seem even larger, thanks to the large French windows which will lead out into the garden on two sides. Windows on the staircase at the front of the homes will allow for air and natural light to pass right through when you like. On this floor will also be a kitchen, store room and bathroom. Upstairs, a small landing will lead you to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom, especially large at over 20m2, will have an additional en-suite bathroom as well as a walk-in closet. All of the bedrooms will have private access to either a balcony or a terrace. Still Under Construction with the Option to Customise The villas are now fully standing, with the walls, floors and flat roof now in place. The plastering, decoration and all finishings are still to be completed, as is the preparation of the outdoor spaces. This means that buyers who act swiftly will have the option to contribute extensively to much of this process. The developers are proposing the realisation of an optional basement, with the possibility of adding over 100m2 of indoor space to the home. This could eventually be a home gym, playroom, workshop or any number of other possibilities. Another optional extra is the chance to buy a small plot of land to the front of your new home, increasing your garden from 450m2 to 750m2. Finally, and perfect for the heat of the Sicilian summer, you can even opt to install a swimming pool in your yard. But don't wait, once work is completed it will be much harder and more expensive to make changes. Perfect Location for a Rural View and Urban Convenience The plot of this development is found on the very edge of the district of Villabate, only a fifteen minute walk from the heart of the traditional town of Altavilla Milicia. The views from the upper balconies and terraces will take in some fabulous surrounding hillsides, the great blue sky of Sicily and even a little of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the middle distance. Everything you could need on a regular basis is walkable from your new home. If you want the infrastructure or culture of one of Sicily's great cities, however, Palermo is only a half hour journey away, along the motorway or by train to the east. Besides the myriad charms of this legendary metropolis, you can also reach all manner of different beaches, coves and seafront in a similar travel time. The location really does offer the best of all possible worlds. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa delle Palme - Partinico A true luxury property, Villa delle Palme is one of the best examples of a modern villa to be found in the west of Sicily. 250M2 OF STYLISHLY DESIGNED INDOOR SPACE The three-bedroom home has been built on an extra-large scale, with all of the main living spaces as large as you could possibly need. The kitchen-diner is a beautiful 7 x 7 room with a perfectly fitted kitchen, a long breakfast bar and still plenty of space for cupboards and a dining suite. The sun room at the front of the property makes for a unique lounge, with full glazing on three sides giving you the sense of sitting out in the garden. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. The master is especially luxurious, with a vast bedroom overlooking the green lawn to the front of the villa, and a bathroom-cum-dressing room that might genuinely be the size of your first apartment. The layout is completed by a little entrance hall and a pair of store cupboards. AN IRRESISTIBLE PRIVATE POOL Even by the standards of private pools, we think you'd have to agree that this one is an absolute beauty. Given enormous room to breathe in the ample back garden, but served by not one but two nearby pagodas, it's a 120,000 litre gem framed in a nearly white stone that makes the turquoise waters an extraordinary eye-popping colour on a sunny day. The rest of the 5,600m2 garden is no less impressive, with highlights including the row of mature palm trees that run the length of the driveway, the huge expanse of green lawn in sturdy tropical grass and the fascinating variety of ornamental plants which have been around the entire property. A pool house contains all the equipment necessary to take care of the water and the gardens that surround it. NO EXPENSE SPARED TO MAKE A SUSTAINABLE HOME The villa is blessed with direct sunlight from dawn to dusk, and the sellers have taken full advantage of this enviable natural gift. The entire roof has been covered in photovoltaic panels, which combine to generate a huge 16kW of power. There is also a 10kW storage battery, to make sure that as little as possible of what is generated ever goes to waste. There is also an autonomous water supply: a well rises in the back garden and this is used to fill the pool, supply the house and even fill a gigantic 100,000 litre cistern which ensures you against even the longest of dry spells. CONVENIENT FOR BEACH, CITY AND AIRPORT The nearest sandy beach is just a ten minute drive away, and the town of Partinico even closer. With beautiful attractions like the seafront of Castellammare del Golfo, the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, the archaeological site at Segesta and Sicily's largest city, Palermo, all within easy reach, the location of Villa delle Palme could hardly be better. You can reach the nearest airport in just twenty minutes. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Tenuta Barbera - Campofelice More than just a large family house which needs some work but offers incredible potential, Tenuta Barbera is a working agricultural business, growing a huge crop of Sicily's most iconic produce 40,0002 LEMON FARM, FULLY OPERATIONAL AND WELL-MAINTAINED The huge estate has been planted with around five thousand White Zagara lemon trees, beautifully maintained and generating three harvests a year. There is a comprehensive sprinkler irrigation system, and the roads that criss-cross the orchard are all paved. On a good year for lemon prices, the value of the annual crop can approach €90,000, and even in a typical market it will be well over half that. As the property is sold including a 55m2 barn, a working Goldini tractor and all of the other equipment necessary to manage the agricultural operation this is very much an investment opportunity as much as a real estate one. Or you could take the plunge, move to Sicily and know that you're also guaranteeing your own job opportunity. TWO-STOREY FARMHOUSE WITH HUGE POTENTIAL The home offers over 200m2 of indoor space, split into two separate apartments with an external staircase leading up to the first floor. At present this is unfinished, with the buyer needing to invest around €60,000, we believe, in order to divide the spaces, plaster, add a floor and decorate. When that's finished, however, the villa could be a huge family home that might have as many as five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The lower apartment alone, which is finished and habitable, if not in the most modern state of decoration, has two or three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The large living room contains a fully-fitted kitchen and there is also a box room which could be a home office. The entire villa has wonderful views of the lemon groves outside. SEA VIEWS AND A STELLAR SEAFRONT LICATION The house is just 1500m from the beach of Campofelice, an idyllic sandy strip which runs for twenty kilometres from Termini Imerese to Mazzaforno. You can have the sand between your toes in just a five minute drive. Only a little trip along the coast is the magical town of Cefalù, and Palermo is just 45 minutes to the west. The building is set 100m above sea level, which means that you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the sparkling turquoise water from your veranda, and an even better one from the first floor balcony. This is one of the most scenic properties we've ever been able to offer. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

CASA MADDALENA – SPACIOUS SEA-VIEW HOME IN SICILY'S MOST PICTURESQUE REGION, BETWEEN BEACHES AND MOUNTAINS A three bedroom property with two kitchens, two bathrooms, a huge double living room and small covered terrace, Casa Maddalena is a deceptively roomy family home in the hilltop village of Gratteri. A short drive from the fortified Mediaeval town of Castelbuono, the magnificent beach of Cefalù and the peaks of the Madonie Natural Park, this is a wonderful location in which the authentic, unspoilt Sicily is on full display. A versatile and roomy living space Previously a pair of individual homes sharing a party wall, Casa Maddalena has an unusual layout with twin entrances on parallel streets. The sloping hillside on which Gratteri has grown up means that one of these is a full storey higher than the other, and so the lowest floor is in fact part basement, with windows only on the lower, northern side of the property. At this level you will find a kitchen-diner, a bedroom and an internal bathroom. Upstairs on the true ground floor is the main entrance of the house, which leads you into the other kitchen. This connects to the second bathroom and to the long living room which has been created by combining a pair of similarly sized spaces through a broad connecting arch. From here a window offers a good view of the Tyrrhenian sea, seven kilometres to the north. Views of town, country and sea On the top floor are a pair of bedrooms, each reached by their own discrete staircase. The larger connects to a terrace which has been covered by a fixed awning. There is an abundance of space, the potential for a certain degree of flexibility in the configuration of the home, and some lovely views of the surrounding town and countryside. In the thick of village life All of the amenities needed for day-to-day life can be reached within a few minutes' walk from your front door, including grocery shops, a butcher's, bakery and fishmonger. Fruit and vegetables are sold door-to-door, and a medical centre, dentist's and pharmacy are all within easy reach.

Appartamento Assunta - Porticello With great hillside views and a convenient coastal location, Appartamento Assunta in Porticello is a great offer. Its two bedrooms, a kitchen and large living room as well as a bathroom, storeroom and corridor give you a total of 95m2 of indoor space. SUNNY AND SCENIC The south-facing home has been designed to take full advantage of the sunny location, right at the top of the village and directly next to the first slopes of Monte Catalfano. Each of its four rooms has a French window that opens onto either a balcony or the small covered terrace off the living room. This fills the place with natural light and fresh air, with the position 40 metres above sea level enough to bring in a cooling breeze in the summer. With the opposite lot empty, your view is of the green hillside and Sicily's famous deep blue sky. It's almost the best view we can imagine without losing the convenience of living in a small town. A FRIENDLY FISHING VILLAGE WE'RE PROUD TO ENDORSE Talking of the surrounding community, you'll find Porticello a really welcoming and liveable place. We'll put our cards on the table here: we like it so much that we chose it ourselves – our office is just a five minute walk downhill towards the charming marina and restaurant-filled seafront. Our favourite thing about the neighbourhood is how well it's managed to preserve its relaxed local character. You won't find dramatic numbers of tourists here, and you'd never guess that Sicily's biggest city was just fifteen kilometres away to the west. You can get into Palermo by car, or take the train from nearby Santa Flavia, whose station is just a fifteen minute walk from Appartamento Assunta. Within a similar range are the beach and nature reserve of Sant'Elia, the important archaeological site of Solunto, the exciting rocky coastline of Mongerbino and the Baroque villas of Bagheria. Truly something for everyone. READY TO USE WITH NO FURTHER INVESTMENT REQUIRED The property has been unoccupied for a while, and it will be necessary to manage a little bit of moisture which has accumulated in some corners of the home – but there is absolutely nothing to cause concern on a structural level about this modern and well-maintained home. The windows and shutters are efficient and in good shape; the electricity and plumbing fixtures are recent and certified, and the building's common areas are clean and in good condition. The cul-de-sac on which the apartment is found is enclosed behind a gate, and for additional convenience there is even a 12m2 garage included in the sale price. It would make a lovely second home or base for a new life in the sun. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Palazzo Fabian - Aspra In the midst of a complete renovation, Palazzo Fabian is in the process of becoming sixteen brand new apartments with one and two bedrooms and all modern conveniences Moments from the seafront in a charming coastal village it would make a perfect base in Sicily for a couple or small family. COMPLETE RENOVATION OF THE PALAZZO A comprehensive remodelling of the entire structure will include new electrical and plumbing infrastructure, fresh division of the space and of course decoration in a smart modern style. The apartments will be sold unfurnished, but wooden floors, double-glazed windows and air conditioning will come as standard. The three highest floors offer sea views to the west, over the Gulf of Palermo. Clearly, the higher you go the better these get, and you won't have to worry about too many stairs, with a newly installed elevator serving the whole structure. The ground floor is made up of garages and storage units, which are also available to purchase by the property's new residents. MODERN, SMART AND FLEXIBLE APARTMENTS The developers are offering sixteen apartments in total, in one of four styles which repeat on every one of the four habitable floors. The smallest is a one-bedroom flat with 54m2 of indoor space but a 14m2 balcony. The largest has two bedrooms and 94m2 to use inside, plus two balconies that open off both bedrooms and the living room. The one-bedroom units will have a single bathroom, while those that can sleep four will have a pair, with one of then en-suite to the master bedroom. All of them will have a single open plan space for daytime use, with a living area and kitchenette on one side. Each of these is, in turn, connected to a balcony. We think you'll love the fluid, sociable layouts and the bright interiors lit by full-length windows. A CHARMING VILLAGE ON THE SEA Aspra is a beautiful spot, perfectly located for those who want to explore the real Sicily without sacrificing the convenience of proximity to the city. A train station two kilometres away in Bagheria will bring you into the centre of Palermo in just twenty minutes. The community stands on a headland which marks the eastern edge of the Gulf of Palermo. With the skyline dominated by the nature reserve of Monte Catalfano and the coast a warren of rocky coves and inlets just waiting to be explored from the land or sea, this is a popular spot for residents of Palermo to have a summer home. The advantage of living in Apsra itself, though, is that life is very active all year round. You'll find plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and atmosphere in its streets and along its beautiful seafront from January to December.

Villa Sole - Aspra Twenty minutes from the centre of Palermo but on a beautifully quiet stretch of coastline, Villa Sole has an unbeatable position right on the waters of the Gulf of Palermo. AN UNBEATABLE BEACHFRONT LOCATION The property's back yard actually opens directly onto the sandy beach, just outside the fishing village of Aspra, in a neighbourhood which was always a favourite stomping ground for the rich and famous of Palermo to spend their summers, and is now seeing renewed investment from the regional authorities in the form of beach amenities and a sports centre. The star attraction, however, is always going to be the sparkling turquoise waters of the Gulf of Palermo, which the architect of this spacious villa has managed to keep in view from almost every room. Nowhere is the view better than from the first floor terrace, a vast open space connected to two of the bedrooms, partially shaded by the eaves of the roof but predominantly sun-drenched throughout the daytime. There's no better place from which to take in the colourful sunsets that spread out over the mountains behind Palermo across the bay. FOUR BEDROOMS, THREE BATHROOMS AND ALL THE LIVING SPACE YOU NEED The villa has four bedrooms, each of which is comfortably large enough to be a double, if needed. The master is a particularly impressive space, with an en-suite bathroom featuring a box shower, and a walk-in closet. It's one of the pair that opens onto that superb terrace. Two further bathrooms are available for family use; one upstairs and one down. The daytime spaces are even bigger and beautifully designed. You'll find a cosy lounge with excellent lighting design, a compact dining room with a sea view, and the highlight – huge a sun room with full glazing on the beach side; giving you an unbroken view out to the sand and surf beyond the terrace. There is even an open fireplace on one side, meaning that this doesn't only have to be a summertime gathering spot. Elsewhere, the galley-style kitchen is well fitted and offers everything you need to prepare meals for the whole family. A WELL-LAID 1,000M2 PLOT The outdoor spaces include a ground floor terrace, similar in size to the one on the first floor above, which is still raised above the level of the beach beyond. Here you'll find a simple outdoor kitchen and a useful tool shed. The front garden is leafy and tropical, with tall palm trees offering shade to the hardy grass lawn below. There is off-street parking for up to four vehicles. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE
