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 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.
Apartment in Termini Imerese
Termini Imerese, Palermo
Appartamento Giusi - Termini Imerese In the friendly market town of Termini Imerese, just 30 minutes from Cefalù and Palermo, Appartamento Giusi is a cosy little studio apartment on the second floor of a corner terrace townhouse, with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. A SMALL RENOVATION PROJECT The apartment is currently unfinished and requires renovation, giving the future owner the freedom to decide exactly how to organise and personalise the space. Its compact dimensions make this a relatively manageable project, with space for a kitchen and dining area, a sleeping area and a bathroom. The French windows open directly onto the balcony, creating a pleasant connection between the interior and exterior. Rather than completing the renovation herself, the owner has chosen to sell the apartment in its current condition and has adjusted the asking price accordingly. This leaves the buyer free to select their preferred materials, finishes and style. SOLD IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION The property will be sold in its current condition and will be formally separated from the larger existing unit once a purchase proposal has been agreed. For the right buyer, this represents an interesting opportunity to purchase a small sea-view property at an attractive price and complete the renovation according to their own needs and budget. A PRACTICAL LOCATION JUST MINUTES FROM THE SEA Termini Imerese is a very authentic Sicilian town and, despite its rich history, is not affected by mass tourism. The nearby ruins of the ancient spa town of Himera can be reached by car in just a few minutes, while the castle and medieval village of Caccamo are around 20 minutes away. Beach lovers will be pleasantly surprised by how easily Cefalù can be reached by both car and train. The Termini Imerese railway station is just a ten-minute walk from Appartamento Giusi. From there, you can also travel directly into the heart of Palermo, Sicily’s fascinating cultural and commercial capital. With the sun-drenched beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast on one side and the green hills of the Madonie Natural Park on the other, this property offers an excellent base from which to experience and explore Sicily, at a particularly attractive price.

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
House in Isnello
Isnello, Palermo
Casa Alessandra - Isnello A charming three-bedroom townhouse in the Madonie village of Isnello, Casa Alessandra is offered fully furnished and recently renovated for the smoothest possible transaction. FIVE FLOORS OF MOUNTAIN LIVING The property makes clever use of the slope of Via Isonzo, with a semi-basement twin bedroom accessible from street level at the lower end. A spiral staircase connects this to the ground floor living room, which features an open fireplace and guest WC. The first floor holds the master bedroom with a balcony offering lateral views of the rocky cliff face, while the second floor has another bedroom with bunk beds and the main bathroom. The top floor kitchen-diner is the heart of the home, with exposed wooden roof timbers, traditional Sicilian tiled units and a magnificent fixed wood-burning oven. French windows open onto a roof terrace with panoramic mountain views. FULLY EQUIPPED AND READY TO ENJOY The sale includes all furniture, kitchen equipment and appliances. Gas heating with radiators in every room, double-glazed windows and modern systems are installed throughout. Running costs are modest at around €530 per year for taxes and utilities. LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS Isnello is a peaceful Madonie village at 550m altitude with shops, bars and the remarkable GAL Hassin astronomy centre. The beaches of Cefalù are 18km away (25 minutes), while the lively town of Castelbuono is 12km distant. Palermo and its airport can be reached in just over an hour.

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

Closer to home, shops and supermarkets are just minutes away, while the port and seafront can be reached on foot.

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.
House in Lascari
Lascari, Palermo
Casa Max - Lascari Casa Max is an unfinished two-storey stone country house near Lascari, offering around 94m2 of internal space, 1.7 hectares of land and open views across the Sicilian countryside towards the sea. An Unfinished Stone Country House The exterior already has the character of a traditional Sicilian country home, with exposed stone walls and a compact two-level structure. Inside, however, the property remains largely unfinished, giving the future owner considerable freedom over finishes, fittings and the overall style of the completed house. An existing project provides for a living room, kitchen with dining area, two bedrooms and a bathroom, together with outdoor space and a small upper terrace. The internal staircase, floors and basic divisions are already present, while the electrical and plumbing systems, along with the other services, still need to be completed. 1.7 Hectares with Olive Trees and Sea Views Around the house are approximately 1.7 hectares of agricultural land containing around twenty olive trees, along with almond, orange and lemon trees and other Mediterranean vegetation. The elevated rural setting gives broad views over the surrounding countryside, with the sea clearly visible towards the northern coast. The size of the land also creates scope for landscaped outdoor living areas and dedicated parking. Subject to the relevant permissions, further additions such as a veranda, photovoltaic system or swimming pool may also be possible. Country Living Close to Cefalù Despite its rural setting, Casa Max is only around five minutes by car from Lascari, with the nearest beach approximately twelve minutes away and Cefalù around 21 minutes. Provision exists for reconnection to the electricity grid, while a 10,000-litre cistern is already present. The property is not connected to municipal water or sewerage, so independent water and wastewater systems will need to form part of the completion project. For buyers looking to create a personalised Sicilian country home rather than inherit someone else’s renovation choices, Casa Max offers an unusually flexible starting point.
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.

Apartment in Santa Flavia
Santa Flavia, Palermo
Maison Brigitte - Santa Flavia A renovated one-bedroom apartment with a solid track record in the rental market, Casa Brigitte occupies the second floor of a small building on the main street of Santa Flavia, just twenty minutes from Palermo by train. 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
House in Gratteri
Gratteri, Palermo
Casa Vanessa - Gratteri Just outside the Madonie village of Gratteri, Casa Vanessa is a two-bedroom country house with its own olive grove. Its panoramic terrace looks out over green hills and mountain peaks. Two Bedrooms, Kitchen-Living Room and a 25m2 Outbuilding The main house has a living room with kitchen of about 20m2, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The roofs are finished, and the aluminium double-glazed windows have shutters and built-in mosquito screens. Inside, the walls, floors and some of the systems are still to be completed. The separate outbuilding is further along, with plastered walls, laid floors and its systems installed. The owners have planned a roof linking the two buildings, which would give you a sheltered outdoor space between them. Between Olive Terraces and the Madonie Peaks The terraced land below the house holds about thirty olive trees, which produced roughly 70kg of oil last year. Figs, prickly pears, pears, peaches, plums and cherries grow here too, and the land extends up the hillside beyond the current fence. A quiet, level lane leads into Gratteri, where shops, bars and a pharmacy are open all year. Cefalù and the beach at Gorgo Lungo are about half an hour away. Palermo airport is around 90 minutes away and the ski slopes of Piano Battaglia lie just to the south. Put the Finishing Touches in Your Own Style Finishing a house is a challenge, but it is also the most creative way to own one, and here the heavy lifting is already done. You choose the floors, tiles and colours, and the concrete terrace under a large walnut tree could be paved as an outdoor dining room for family or holiday guests. All the work together is estimated at around €60,000. That means you could buy and finish Casa Vanessa for under €200,000, giving you a mid-priced holiday home with estimated letting income of around €20,000 a year. It would also make an affordable permanent home in beautiful countryside. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

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.

House in Castellana Sicula
Castellana Sicula, Palermo
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

Appartamento Melina - Palermo On the eleventh floor of a well-managed complex in south Palermo, Appartamento Melina is a three-bedroom, 165m2 penthouse with incredible views of the city's rooftops and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the north. Space, Light and a Sociable Floor Plan Windows on both east and west elevations mean the apartment stays bright and airy light throughout the day, with sea-view sunrises on one side and city sunsets on the other.

The living room opens onto a long balcony overlooking rooftops and green space, with double exposure ensuring the living areas are never short of natural light. The kitchen-diner, is the pick of the family spaces, a generously sized and versatile hub with a large cooking area at one end and a dining section that can comfortably seat the whole family at the other. There's even room for a comfortable little lounge with sofas and the stylish built-in bookshelves around the archway entrance. A Quiet Address with Excellent Connections Appartamento Melina is on via Santa Maria di Gesù, a calm residential street in Palermo’s Guadagna district, directly opposite a public park. The city centre is five minutes by car. Palermo Guadagna railway station is a fifteen-minute walk, with direct services into central Palermo in about ten minutes.

Very Well Maintained Communal Spaces The building is made up of four residential blocks around a communal garden. The lift was replaced in the past few months, the roof was fully waterproofed recently, and the communal entrance – marble floors, wood panelling – is in excellent condition.
