Properties for sale in Palermo, Italy

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.

Torre Maqueda - Palermo Torre Maqueda, a seven-storey building currently undergoing a complete renovation, now offers an elegant two-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor, right in the heart of Palermo and just a few steps from all the city’s main attractions. RENOVATION WORK IN PROGRESS Completion of the works is scheduled for April 2026, with the apartment to be delivered shortly thereafter.

Palazzo Peri - Collesano A vast complex covering 800m2, right in the heart of a historic Sicilian town, Palazzo Peri stands at the very heart of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park. An eighteenth century building with wonderful history, it would be a wonderfully inspiring project to take on. With over twenty rooms, on three storeys, and an entire deconsecrated church included in the sale, we're not overselling this when we describe it as one of the most remarkable real estate opportunities to have passed across our desk since we first entered the industry A STATELY HOME WITH A BAROQUE FACADE The living space is huge, with sixteen rooms plus kitchens and bathrooms. Almost all of these are large enough to become a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Two at the front of the property have ornately decorated balconies, and those on the top floor have fabulous views over the rooftops of Collesano to the green hills of the surrounding natural park. The marble staircases and tiled floors are still in very good condition for a building of this age. The plastering will obviously need to be completely redone, and the connections for plumbing and electricity installed as if from scratch. But there are beautiful elements to salvage, like the sturdy antique doors and the built-in pizza oven on the second floor kitchen. THE OLD CHAPEL, COURTYARD AND STOREROOMS The church is a large space, the size of a typical chapel, with a three-storey high roof and a simple layout. Off this, to the side, is a Sacristy which occupies two floors. To the rear is an L-shaped courtyard which is currently covered in grass, and runs up a slope. It receives sunshine in the middle of the day and could become an attractive little garden. Lastly, on the far side of this courtyard, you will find a complex of seven separate storerooms which are each big enough to hold machinery or large quantities of produce. AN OPPORTUNITY YOU REALLY DON'T SEE EVERY DAY The chance to restore a building with this kind of history – and this much sheer space – is a really rare and precious one. It could become a one-of-a-kind luxury villa for an investor who wants to entertain large numbers of guests in truly lavish style. Alternatively, perhaps its future lies as separate apartments – it should be possible to realise at least six or seven, all of good size. As a final possibility, it would be very easy to picture Palazzo Peri as a boutique luxury hotel, with a spa and sun terrace, offering huge characterful rooms in a magical medieval context. The bells of the old Chiesa Madre of Collesano echo from the fortified tower just across the street, and the cobbled streets of this enchanting old town are as atmospheric as the surrounding mountain- and sea-views are breathtaking.

Casa Piave - Caltavuturo TWO BEDROOM RENOVATED HOUSE IN SICILY'S MADONIE PARK, IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION Simply put, one of the nicest renovation jobs we've ever seen in Sicily, Casa Piave is an impeccable example of a restoration job which marries the historic character of this three storey house with every comfort and efficiency. It is sold as seen, fully-furnished and at a fabulous asking price. A LABOUR OF LOVE The current owner, Giuseppe, is a builder by trade and acquired this corner house when it was little more than a ruin. Over seven years he painstakingly turned it into a modern family home, with a balance of practicality and luxury. The jewel in the crown is the covered roof terrace, which not only offers a panoramic view above the rooftops of this lovely little town, but even comes with a fully-fitted outdoor kitchen! STYLE AND SUBSTANCE Inside, the house is divided into three storeys of 50m2 each. The ground floor is a large open-plan kitchen and dining room, divided by a perfect stone archway. This boasts a comfy sofa area around an open fire, and a kitchen equipped with a brick oven, gas cooker and efficient extractor fan. Elsewhere, a pair of bedrooms on the upper floors each has an adjoining bathroom, and the master even features a walk-in closet and balcony. From a jacuzzi bathtub to a 3kW solar panel on the roof, the little touches prove that no effort has been spared here. The house has everything you need to move in tomorrow, and not a cent would need to be spent beyond the purchase price. ON THE EDGE OF SICILY'S FINEST NATIONAL PARK The Madonie hills and mountains rise up from the sea of Sicily's north coast in a dramatic play of green pastures and thick woodland. It is a haven for lovers of nature and outdoor sports. With Palermo and Catania no more than 100 minutes away by car, and the island's attractions from Mount Etna in the east to the ancient Greek temples of Agrigento all within easy reach, This is a location to match the wonderful property.

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.

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.

Palazzo Virga – Isnello Palazzo Virga, a charming, historic property nestled in the heart of Isnello, features a private garden and ample space for renovation, offering an opportunity to create your perfect home in the tranquil Sicilian countryside. 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. Once used to produce olive oil, and then to house refugees and possibly even some of Garibaldi's soldiers, Palazzo Virga has borne witness to the triumphs and tribulations of Sicily's tumultuous history, imbuing it with a truly unparalleled sense of character and resilience that lives within its walls. 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. While Palazzo Virga may require renovation and restructuring to fulfil its potential, its spacious layout presents endless opportunities for customization and personalization, allowing you to create a truly bespoke living space tailored to your unique vision.

Plot Dispenza – Collesano A beautiful stretch of sea-view land on the hillsides of northern Sicily, Plot Dispenza offers nearly two hectares of meadow and olive trees, bursting with potential. The plot is beautiful and the location scenic, but the real key asset here is the fact that it has been classed as Zone C 'buildable' land. In contrast to most land which becomes available to the international market, this allows for a far larger-scale development project. Ready to develop, with permission to build On 'Zone C' land it is permitted to build 0.1m3 of habitable structure for every m2 of ground space. In the case of Plot Dispenza that translates to 600m2 of housing or accommodation. This is enough to build a medium-sized holiday village or glamping resort for tourists, a residential complex suitable for timeshare or second homes, or simply four or five detached villas, depending on the scale of each. Of course, it would also be possible to build a single structure, a really vast luxury home. But from an investment standpoint the best returns are likely to come from dividing the land. Five kilometres from the beach, in the foothills of a stunning Natural Park The site is directly adjacent to the SP9 road which runs downhill from Collesano, on the lower slopes of the picturesque Madonie Natural Park, to Campofelice di Roccella on the Tyrrhenian Sea. With the iconic beach town of Cefalù less than half an hour to the east, and the international airport at Palermo just an hour to the west, the location is a perfect one. Collesano is an extremely popular destination with the international market, and even in this out-of-town district we have recently helped buyers from Austria, Germany and the USA buy villas and land in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a wonderful, open-minded community where the best of traditional Sicilian heritage blends seamlessly with new arrivals from all corners of the world. If you are ready to take on a challenge, Plot Dispenza is incredibly rich in potential. Don't miss the full listing on our site.
