House in Caltavuturo
Caltavuturo, Palermo
Casa Gisella - Caltavuturo Casa Gisella is a compact three-level home in central Caltavuturo, offering two flexible bedrooms, two balconies, mountain views and a practical base for enjoying both village life and the Madonie landscape. Traditional Layout, Flexible Living The house is arranged over three floors, with a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor, a small WC beneath the stairs, and a traditional fireplace adding character to the main living space. The first floor contains a large room currently arranged as a sitting room but suitable as a second bedroom, with two doors opening onto a wrap-around balcony. A narrow ancillary room provides useful storage and could potentially be adapted as a laundry or utility area. The principal bedroom occupies most of the top floor, with air conditioning, a recently renovated bathroom and access via a small landing to another wrap-around balcony with the best views in the house. Mountain Views from the Heart of Town Casa Gisella sits right in the centre of Caltavuturo, with cafés, shops, a pharmacy, bakery and restaurants all within a few minutes’ walk. The Rocca di Sciara rises directly above the town, with the start of the walking trail around fifteen minutes away on foot. Terravecchia Castle is even closer, while the wider Madonie landscape is always close at hand. Campofelice di Roccella and the coast are around 39 minutes away by car, while Cefalù can be reached in just under an hour. Habitable Now, with Scope to Improve The house is currently habitable, with technical and cosmetic updating recommended rather than wholesale restoration. The electrical system should be renewed, the plumbing reviewed, and old staining from a resolved leak needs redecorating. The windows and façade can be retained for a simpler, lower-cost approach, or upgraded as part of a fuller refurbishment. The property does not currently have the Italian certificate confirming formal approval for occupation, but the building itself has been legally regularised through retrospective building approval.
House in Gratteri
Gratteri, Palermo
Casa Pinuccia - Gratteri With sea views and timeless charm, Casa Pinuccia would be perfect for a buyer who wants the thrill of restoring an old home in Sicily. THREE-STOREY HOME WITH BEDROOM,LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN Casa Pinuccia's layout is simple, with a 15m2 living room on the ground floor, a bedroom of the same size on the first floor and a kitchen and dining room on the second. Tucked away under the first staircase is a ground floor bathroom with a miniature tub and shower attachment. The living room opens straight onto the street through double doors which also let plenty of light into the cosy space. The first floor bedroom has the bonus of a sea-view balcony, and the dining room upstairs has the same. The room is only a little smaller than those below, despite the presence of the kitchen. We would actually love to see this floor opened up and turned into a single kitchen-diner. Doing this you could even put in a sofa and a couple of bookcases and allow yourselves to use the ground floor as a second bedroom. It would do justice to the sensational view from the balcony. A RENOVATION CHALLENGE WITH A CHARACTERFUL CORE There is no getting away from the fact that a lot of work is going to be needed, not least on the wooden ceilings which have suffered from water damage. Beyond this Casa Pinuccia will need new windows, electrical wiring and plumbing to bring it up to modern safety codes. Additionally the fascia needs to be refreshed, and the elderly air conditioners replaced – we would suggest with two-way heat pumps. On the plus side of the ledger, the staircase was redone in concrete in the 1980s, finished with some lovely Sicilian marble and remains in great condition. The bathroom is from a similar era but the simple decoration has aged well and everything still works efficiently. The roof is also holiding up well. You'll love the decorative floor tiles throughout the home, and the fixed wood oven built right into the kitchen wall is a must-keep. AMAZING HILLTOP LOCATION IN SICILY'S FAVOURITE NATURAL PARK The position of Casa Pinuccia is a huge selling point. Everything that surrounds Gratteri is beautiful green hillside, which stretches up to the towering peaks of the upper Madonie and down to the pristine Tyrrhenian Sea below. Although you could enjoy a different route around the fields, woodland and mountainsides of the region every day for a year, you'll also adore the fact that the nearest sandy beach is just 20 minutes away by car. The spectacular seafront of Norman Cefalu is only five minutes beyond that. And Palermo reachable in not much over an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE
House in Pollina
Pollina, Palermo
Casa Li Bianchi - Pollina PARTIALLY RESTORED THREE-BEDROOM HOUSE IN THE MADONIE SPACIOUS AND BURSTING WITH POTENTIAL On three storeys (though mostly on two), with balconies offering magic views of the Madonie Natural Park and as far as Mount Etna on the horizon, Casa Li Bianchi is a restoration project that would make a second home, popular guest house or the perfect spot from which to smartwork in dazzling surroundings. With room for three, perhaps four bedrooms and all the character of a Sicilian home, this house will make a perfect place to bring a large family for holidays, or even to start a new life in the sun. SEA VIEWS AND GREEN HILLSIDES Pollina is a delightful hilltop village with astonishing views, up into the hills of the park but notably out to the Mediterranean sea, which lies just a few kilometres to the north. A stone's throw from Cefalù, within easy reach of Palermo and with the Aeolian Islands in full view on a clear day, this little escape 400m above sea level has remained beautifully untouched by the throngs of mass tourism and retains an unmistakeable Sicilian charm. A JOB ALREADY HALF COMPLETE Renovating old property on the island can be fraught with challenges, but this is a superb opportunity for a first timer. The entire skeleton, save for one small internal room, has been recently rebuilt to a high, seismic-safe standard, with new walls, roof, floors, doors, and balconies. Even the pipes are still gleaming! Take advantage of the chance to do the fun part – the interior design, the finishing touches – and end up with the Sicilian hideaway you always dreamt of, with a fraction of the time and expense needed to take on the majority of the renovation projects the island has to offer.
Apartment in Bagheria
Bagheria, Palermo
Appartamento Bitta - Bagheria Compact but practical, and with a great old town location, Appartamento Bitta is a one-bedroom, ground floor flat in the heart of Bagheria. With all of the attractions of the town within easy walking distance, and the beaches of the Capo Zafferano peninsula just a stone's throw away, this is a great opportunity to get yourself a holiday home in Sicily without leaving the area of Palermo. Smartly Designed and Well Presented With about 50m2 of internal space made to feel deceptively spacious by high ceilings and a minimalist design, the apartment is divided into four spaces: kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. There is also some storage in a little loft. The bedroom is the biggest of the four, with plenty of space for a double bed and other furniture. The exposed wooden beams on the ceiling lend a nice rustic touch. The living room and kitchen are neat and functional, and the bathroom contains a box shower. A Lively and Traditional Community Bagheria is a socially active town of about 25,000 people, which buzzes with activity all year round. The community boasts not one but two Michelin-starred restaurants, and some excellent options for traditional Sicilian cuisine. The small villages which surround the town to the north, around the edge of the peninsula, are havens for great fresh seafood. The centre of Palermo can be reached in a matter of twenty minutes by train, bus or car. The Sicilian capital has expanded in recent years, but there is still a strip of green belt before you get to Bagheria, which allows the market town to retain a distinctive sense of its own identity. Hassle-free and Affordable There is no need to spend anything on Appartamento Bitta, it is in good condition and ready to be used right away. As a budget option to serve as a base for holidays in Sicily which is convenient all year round, and not just in the high season, it is a great option for the price point, and unlikely to stay on the market for long.

Land in Gratteri
Gratteri, Palermo
Plot Gorgone - Gratteri With approved plans for a rural tourism resort and sweeping Madonie views, Plot Gorgone is a 2.5-hectare development opportunity in the hills above Gratteri, twenty-five minutes from Cefalù. SIX LUXURY CAMPING PITCHES AND A NATURAL POOL The approved plans set out six independent luxury camping pitches along a marked-out internal road, each positioned for privacy and landscape integration. At the lower end of the estate, the plans include a main house for reception and dining, a guest building with three en-suite bedrooms and a bio-piscina – a natural swimming pool in keeping with the ecological ethos of the project. All key authorisations are already in place: the geological survey, the Madonie Park environmental clearance and the municipal building permit. SOUTH-FACING AND CLOSE TO THE COAST The hillside slopes towards the south-west, catching the sun from midday through to sunset. About 350 metres above sea level it's a quiet and secluded spot dotted with lush Mediterranean vegetation including olive trees and other fruit. The nearest village is Gratteri, a ten-minute drive away, while the nearest beaches can be reached in twenty minutes and the tourist magnet of Cefalù in twenty-five. A GROWING MARKET WITH LITTLE COMPETITION The Madonie currently has very few luxury camping – or ‘glamping’ – facilities, and the Cefalù area still relies on traditional campsites. A well-designed resort here would occupy an open niche in a segment that is attracting growing interest from international travellers. The total investment, including all construction, is estimated at between €800,000 and €1,000,000, with projected net annual profits of €60,000 to €80,000 under direct management. PURCHASE A FULLY OPERATIONAL COMMERCIAL ENTITY The sale is structured as a company transfer – Ecoturismo Valle di Gratteri SRL – reducing transaction costs by an estimated €8,000. The buyer inherits a legal entity ready to operate, along with the approved project. The only remaining step before construction can begin is to complete the structural engineering plans. At its asking price, Plot Gorgone offers strong value as development land with real income potential. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

A captivating blend of charm, rich heritage, and potential, this historic residence offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Italian architecture while crafting your own slice of paradise, or a savvy investment for the future. A Quiet Place to Sit back and Relax Palazzo Virga’s cosy study lined with bookshelves receives plenty of natural light as it opens onto a long balcony. The warm Sicilian sun bathes one side, while the other half is shaded with beautiful 18th century arches, making it the perfect place to sit down with a book or treat yourself to some al fresco dining. A Piece of History in the Heart of Sicily Palazzo Virga's prime location in sleepy Isnello places it within easy reach of the stunning natural beauty of Sicily's northern coast and the enchanting seaside town of Cefalù, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquillity and adventure alike. The property's rich history adds to its allure, with stories of former owners Carmelo and Luigi Virga lending a sense of romance and intrigue to its storied past.

Ample Space to Realise your Dream Home with a private garden The property boasts a 400 m2 floor plan, rising to 500 m2 when including the private rooftop garden, adorned with flourishing orange trees and grapevines, accessible directly from your bedroom for those lazy Spring Sunday mornings in nature.

House in Gratteri
Gratteri, Palermo
Casa Rosaria - Gratteri A substantial renovation project on one of Gratteri’s main streets, Casa Rosaria is a four-storey townhouse of approximately 220m2 with the rare advantage of a private garden in the heart of the village. 220m2 OF CHARACTER ACROSS FOUR FLOORS The traditionally built stone house is arranged over four levels, connected by a marble-clad staircase in excellent condition. Rooms range from a ground floor entrance with an original stone sink to a first floor chamber carved directly into the rock – a wonderfully atmospheric space. The upper floors offer a kitchen-living area with potential for an open-plan layout, and a top floor with well-preserved chequerboard cement tiles and panoramic views that stretch to the sea. A PRIVATE GARDEN IN THE VILLAGE CENTRE What really makes Casa Rosaria stand out in this part of the world is its rear garden, accessed from the top floor terrace. Private outdoor space attached to a house in Gratteri’s old town is exceptionally uncommon, and it opens up possibilities that most village properties cannot offer – from outdoor dining to a kitchen garden or a quiet retreat under open sky. SOLID BONES, READY FOR YOUR VISION Casa Rosaria needs moderate to thorough renovation. At least one timber floor structure requires rebuilding, the bathroom must be redone, and the roof, electrics and window frames all need attention. The facade, however, is in good order, and the reinforced concrete staircase is sound throughout. A minimum budget of around €40,000 will bring the house into comfortable use; although if you want to make it into a really stylish mix of historic charm and modern comfort you might need to find two or three times that. The Mountains of the Madonie, Half an Hour from Cefalù Gratteri sits around 700m above sea level in the Madonie Natural Park, surrounded by outstanding hiking and mountain landscapes. The ever-popular beach town of Cefalù is only a thirty minutes drive down a winding scenic road, and you can find supermarkets and larger shops along the way in Lascari. For international connections, Palermo’s international airport is ninety minutes to the west. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

The finishes are carefully maintained, with Venetian plaster walls, marble floors and a Botticino marble staircase. The house is sold complete with furniture, and three heat pumps provide year-round climate control. Fibre-optic broadband is connected at the front door and a pair of reception rooms give you every opportunity to create a home office, making this a very appealing option for ayone who wants to work remotely in the Mediterranean sunshine. SEA VIEWS AND OPEN SKIES The corner position on the northern edge of the village, at 670m above sea level, gives Casa Pino an open outlook that most properties in the historic centre cannot match. The upper-floor terraces and wraparound balconies look out across the Gulf of Termini Imerese, with direct views towards the coast. The bedrooms catch the morning sun, and the ground-floor rooms are bright and welcoming thanks to the dual aspect. Cefalù’s beaches and Norman old town are a short drive to the north, and Palermo’s international airport is about an hour away. NO NEED TO SPEND BUT POTENTIAL TO INVEST With dual street access and a flexible layout, the property could accommodate four bedrooms, or be divided into separate units for combined personal and rental use. The lower level already functions as a self-contained space with its own kitchen, shower and entrance. There is no need for immediate investment, with the place absolutely habitable. Down the line the buyer might want to consider adding a smoother finish to the rough exterior rendering, updating some windows and investing in roof insulation. However, this is a turnkey home with space, views and character that would cost several times more in a coastal town or larger city. For anyone searching for a well-priced, substantial ’s Madonie Park, Casa Pino sets a high bar. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

House in Gangi
Gangi, Palermo
Casa Marino - Gangi IN ITALY'S ORIGINAL “MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE”: TWO BEDROOM RENOVATED PROPERTY FOR SALE IN THE MADONIE NATURAL PARK Where is Italy's most beautiful village? Opinions will vary as widely as traditional pasta recipes, but the community of Gangi in the Madonie hills of Sicily has a better claim than most. In 2014, a heritage association called I borghi piu belli d'Italia (“Italy's most beautiful villages”) held what became an annual competition to find the nation's most picturesque community – and Gangi ran out the inaugural winner. Casa Marino is a beautiful restoration project in the historic old town of this magical hillside settlement. With a centuries-old construction giving it the sturdiest possible skeleton and no expense spared on the painstaking revamp, it is a fabulous opportunity to own a heritage property for a reasonable price A UNIQUE SHAPE AND DESIGN The house is on the end of a pair of terraces, tapering towards a wedged end that makes it look more of a tower than a family home when approached from one side. However, the four long storeys in fact combine to offer a surprisingly large 137m2 of habitable space. The narrow end of the building is a stairwell, and the wider part follows the same floor plan for the first three floors: a corridor leading past a bathroom with a large shower to a living or bedroom at the property's broadest section. LOCAL CRAFTSMANSHIP The materials used in the recent renovation are top quality, with locally produced floor tiles, sparkling bathroom fittings and crisp plaster accentuating the sections of the original, nearly metre-thick, stone walls which have been left on display in large sections of the property. The roof has also been repaired and is now in excellent condition. Only the stairwell is in need of work at this stage, and there are certainly no issues which would stop you moving in as soon as you complete the purchase. A really unique property, you won't regret taking a longer look at Casa Marino.
Land in Collesano
Collesano, Palermo
Plot Cinzia - Collesano Expansive and unspoilt, the huge hillside estate that is Plot Cinzia is a dream for the kind of buyer who is at peace with nature and doesn't back away from a challenge. While the old cottage that currently stands on the southern edge of the plot will need to be rebuilt from scratch, the raw beauty of this Sicilian country land is bursting with possibility. A BIRD'S EYE VIEW ON THE COAST The estate spreads over some 20 acres (80,000m2) of countryside on the western edge of the Madonie Natural Park, a few kilometres north of the picturesque little village of Collesano. The land slopes down towards the bottom of a valley which feeds into the Tyrrhenian Sea at the coastal town of Campofelice di Roccaella. The majority of the estate is woodland, home to a diverse range of trees and wildlife. The emptier pastures open up on the lower slopes to give a fabulous view of the sea in the middle distance, 8 kilometres away and about 400m downhill. The two existing buildings on the land are 100m2 and 40m2 respectively. You could work off this footprint, but the size of the pot means that the option would be available to create a much larger villa, complete with a guest house and swimming pool. HAVEN OF BIODIVERSITY You will find the soil fertile, with olive oil produced from trees in this region considered to be of particularly high quality. There are over a hundred olive trees on the plot at present, and one could easily imagine a buyer adding many more. You will also find a wide variety of trees and bushes, many of which bear fruit and nuts of all varieties. The land is home to numerous species of bird as well as hares, lizards and small mammals. There is already a well on the land, and you would certainly be able to achieve true sustainability and energy independence if you were to invest in solar panels to power and heat your new home. LESWS THAN HALF AN HOUR TO THE BEACH While the drive into Collesano is no more than six or seven minutes, you will also find it very easy to reach the towns at sea level. Both Campofelice and Lascari have lovely stretches of coastline, and the famous resort of Cefalù is only a 35 minute drive. Palermo and its international airport can be reached in an hour.

House in Bagheria
Bagheria, Palermo
Casa Salvatore - Bagheria A three apartment palazzo on four floors, with a glorious sunny top-floor living room and roof terrace, Casa Salvatore stands in the historic centre of Bagheria, a small Sicilian city just fifteen minutes by train from Palermo. THREE APARTMENTS AND A ROOFTOP TERRACE Each of the first three floors is a one bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bathroom, and all have their own entrances from a shared marble staircase. It would be perfectly straightforward to create a trio of separate apartments, and the top floor could either become a studio or a common leisure space – perhaps depending on whether you plan to renovate for resale or the rental market. Tall ceilings throughout lend a touch of history and an airy openness to the rooms, and balconies on Via Scoppa bring in natural light. The top floor is probably the biggest selling point, an open-plan space with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two sides. This leads out to a corner terrace with views over the rooftops and bell towers of the town. TEN MINUTES TO THE TRAIN,FIVE TO THE SEA Bagheria is a lively little city of around 40,00 residents, boasting a lively food scene, pedestrianised shopping streets and a rich cultural heritage centred around its famous baroque villas, including the celebrated Villa Palagonia. It's something of a satellite of Palermo, and the train station that's just ten minutes away on foot helps commuters and tourists alike reach the centre of Sicily's capital in less than a quarter of an hour. The charming seafront village of Aspra, with its fish restaurants and access to the coves of the Capo Zafferano peninsula, is five minutes away by car. When you need to travel internationally, Falcone-Borsellino airport is about 45 minutes away and you can also get there by train with a single change. A RENOVATION PROJECT PRICED TO LEAVE YOU AN AMBITIOUS BUDGET The property needs a comprehensive programme of work: new plumbing and wiring, heating installation, new window frames, bathroom refurbishments and facade repairs. The ground floor, which has been unoccupied longest, requires the most attention, while the second floor is in notably better condition. The low asking price leaves significant room to renovate in a way that will stand the test of time, and the result could be a substantial and characterful home – or three or four - in one of northern Sicily’s best-connected towns.

TURNKEY RENTAL WITH ALL PERMITS The flat has been fully rebuilt with new electrical systems and plumbing, and is sold furnished exactly as photographed. The open-plan living area includes a kitchen with contemporary majolica backsplash and wooden breakfast island, a comfortable sitting room with ceiling fan, and a balcony overlooking Corso Filangeri. Traditional Sicilian floor tiles and restored original period windows give the interiors a warm, characterful feel. CIR and CIN licences, habitability certificates and all required rental documentation are in place and transfer to the new owner. The apartment has previously featured in Airbnb’s selective Plus program. WALKABLE TOWN, CONNECTED COAST Santa Flavia’s train station is five minutes away on foot, with direct services to central Palermo (20 minutes) and along the coast towards Cefalù (under an hour). Cafés, shops and a greengrocer are steps from the front door, while larger supermarkets are close by in Bagheria. The fishing village of Porticello, the archaeological site of Solunto and several beaches, including the clear waters of Sant’Elia, are all within easy reach. Palermo airport is about 40 minutes by car. A SOUND ENTRY INTO A GROWING MARKET Casa Brigitte generates approximately €10,000 in gross annual rental income, with established guest reviews and occupancy history. The holiday rental market in Santa Flavia continues to strengthen as international visitors seek out authentic coastal alternatives to busier resort towns. At the time of writing, a third-floor apartment in the same building – with a 65m2 roof terrace – is also available, offering scope for expansion. This is a well-priced entry point into one of Sicily’s most promising coastal rental markets. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

A genuine “turnkey” opportunity for those looking for a professionally managed, already operational property investment in central Palermo, combining attractive rental potential with the opportunity to own or enjoy a home in the heart of Sicily.
House in Scillato
Scillato, Palermo
Casa Rosa Maria - Scillato With a large garden, tranquil village backdrop and a location on the edge of one of Sicily's largest natural parks, Casa Rosa Maria is the ideal spot to get away from it all and reconnect with the simple things in life. SPACIOUS AND WELL LAID OUT The property comprises a detached villa with a partial stone construction, which recent renovation work has wisely chosen to showcase, and a garden which stretches over 5,000m2. This acre-plus of land includes an orchard full of citrus trees and an olive grove. Both are kept in excellent condition by an excellent irrigation system. In the immediate vicinity of the house is a smart patio enclosed by a deep box hedge. There is a permanent barbecue and an abundance of space for outdoor dining. What was once a bungalow was turned into a two-storey home by the renovation work, which included a very well-executed loft conversion. We're big fans of the way that the wood of the roof has been kept on display, and mirrored by a nicely laid floor. Two bedrooms at this level join the two downstairs, although one of these is currently used as a study. A large living room with an open fireplace, a kitchen with a utility room and a bathroom on each floor complete the internal layout. A LOCATION WITH THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS If you want to live or holiday in a timeless Sicilian village without sacrificing the convenience of being able to get into the island's big cities, Scillato is probably the single best recommendation we could give you. The sandy beaches of the north coast are right on your doorstep, with Buonfornello and Campofelice only twenty minutes away and Cefalù half an hour. The stunning wilderness of the Madonie Natural Park opens up directly to the east, and Palermo, Catania and Agrigento are all less than a 90 minute drive away. The village itself, although a small community of about 600 residents, has everything you might need on a day-to-day basis, including a convenience store, bar, pub and pizzeria. IN GREAT CONDITION AND READY TO USE As well as the location and the spacious gardens, we can highly recommend this attractive country cottage for the excellent condition in which it is presented. Other than some cosmetic touch-ups and perhaps a bit of recommendation if you choose, there is no work to do on Casa Rosa Maria, which could certainly be inhabited from the very moment of sale.

Apartment in Santa Flavia
Santa Flavia, Palermo
Casa Colibrì - Santa Flavia A one-bedroom holiday home with an established rental history, Casa Colibrì is a fully renovated 1970s apartment sold complete with furniture and fittings. Located in the heart of Santa Flavia, around twenty minutes from central Palermo by train, it also comes with an exceptional 65 m2 private roof terrace. READY TO USE WITH AN ESTABLISHED RENTAL HISTORY The apartment has been comprehensively renovated, including new electrical and plumbing systems, and is presented in excellent condition. It is sold fully furnished as photographed, with an open-plan living area and kitchen, breakfast island, spacious bedroom, modern bathroom and a balcony overlooking Corso Filangeri. Its south-facing aspect brings plenty of natural light into the apartment, while autonomous gas heating with radiators and air conditioning make it suitable for year-round use. The property is already registered for tourist accommodation, with CIR and CIN codes currently in place. A new owner will need to complete any procedures required to update or re-register these in their own name. Casa Colibrì was also previously selected for Airbnb's Plus programme. EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS TO PALERMO AND THE COAST Casa Colibrì is located on Santa Flavia's main street, around 500 metres from the railway station. Direct trains reach central Palermo in approximately twenty minutes and Cefalù in around one hour. Cafés, restaurants, grocery shops and everyday services are all within a few minutes' walk. The fishing village of Porticello, the archaeological site of Solunto and the beaches around Sant'Elia and Kafara are also within easy reach. The location makes it possible to enjoy coastal Sicily without relying entirely on a car. Palermo Airport is around 40 minutes away by car and can also be reached by public transport in a little over an hour. PRIVATE ROOF TERRACE AND PROVEN RENTAL PERFORMANCE The substantial 65 m2 roof terrace belongs exclusively to Casa Colibrì and provides a large private outdoor space with open views towards the sea. The water cisterns belonging to the other two apartments in the building are located on the terrace. Their owners may occasionally require access for maintenance, which must be arranged in advance with the owner of Casa Colibrì. Over recent years, the apartment has generated gross annual rental revenue of approximately €12,000 to €15,000. These figures represent historical performance and should not be considered a guarantee of future income. For buyers looking to combine personal use with holiday rentals, Casa Colibrì offers a renovated and fully equipped property with an established rental history in a well-connected coastal location.

Apartment in Santa Flavia
Santa Flavia, Palermo
Appartamento Michele - Porticello A practical and spacious three-bedroom home on the Sicilian coast, Appartamento Michele is found in the welcoming fishing village of Porticello, just twenty minutes from central Palermo. SUN, SPACE AND SEA AIR The second-floor apartment occupies the top residential level of a small three-unit building, with balconies running along three sides and a large roof terrace for the exclusive use of the buyer. Inside, the layout is generous: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storeroom, an eat-in kitchen and a living room with dual exposition that catches light from the south-west and south-east. Ceiling height is 3 metres throughout, and the warm patterned tile floors match the wooden trim for a cohesive, welcoming feel. A ROOF TERRACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN Upstairs, the open-air terrace is a highlight. Large enough to accommodate a pergola, outdoor kitchen and seating area, it’s the kind of versatile outdoor space that’s hard to come by at this price point. With a small adjustment to the front parapet, a partial sea view can be opened up – and the terrace can even be divided to serve two separate units, should you choose to split the apartment for rental income. PORTICELLO: CHARACTER AND CONVENIENCE The marina is 300 metres away, the beach 650 metres, and the lovely inlet at Sant’Elia just over a kilometre along the coast. Santa Flavia’s train station is a kilometre inland, with services to Palermo in twenty minutes. The area is rich in archaeology, natural beauty and fresh seafood, yet remains blissfully free of mass tourism. AFFORDABLE AND READY TO USE The apartment is in sound condition and will need no urgent work. However, some modernising would definitely bring the best out of it. We recommend redoing the electrical system, bathrooms and windows, but this is reflected in a very appealing asking price. Its generous footprint also makes it possible to divide into two separate units, if you're seeking rental income or a smaller home with a guest flat. With balconies on three sides, high ceilings, a roof terrace and a fishing village location minutes from Palermo, this is a highly recommendable mid-range purchase with plenty of scope to add value, both indoors and out.
