Casa Puccio - Sciacca This typical Sicilian old town house is located in the center of the south-western Sicilian port town of Sciacca. Surroundings The house is certainly more than 100 years old, and the walls are correspondingly thick. The old town of Sciacca is located on a hill, so that this house can only be reached by a very small car. You usually park in the market square in the upper part of the town and then walk about 100-150 m to the house. The property The house has the typical charm of a Sicilian old town property, it extends over three floors and as it is situated on a slope, both the first floor and the first floor have direct access from a small street. Theoretically, the first floor could also be lived in independently and separated from the rest of the house. There is a toilet on both the first floor and the second floor. From the second floor, a relatively comfortable internal staircase leads to the top floor, where we find a roof terrace of around 40 m2, which also offers a partial sea view between the houses. The house originally belonged to a Sicilian family who emigrated to Germany and the current owners, the heirs of the former emigrants, are no longer interested in this house, which is why they want to sell it. The house is in an average condition, it can also be described as inhabited, especially since the smaller, damp areas in the house are still being repaired by the current owners. These damp patches are not so much due to the ingress of moisture from outside, but mainly because the house has not been lived in for many months. Options The owners are asking a z#price of €57,000 for this key-ready house with the existing furnishings, which seems justified given the approximately €35,000 invested in recent years

Casa Salvatore - San Salvatore di Fitalia Twin apartments in a large semi-detached house in the countryside of the Nebrodi, Casa Salvatore offers nearly 200m2 of interior space with up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, twin kitchens, a living room, dining room and two entrance halls. Facing west towards the spectacular sunsets of the verdant green region, it offers some amazing panoramic views out across the valley below. You will see a carpet of vineyards and olive groves stretching out to the horizon at the top of the hills in the distance. A GORGEOUS RURAL LOCATION IN NORTH-EAST SICILY The semi-detached, 100 year-old home is found just outside the small town of San Salvatore di Fitalia, a picturesque little community on top of a ridge in the lower slopes of the mountain range. 600 metres above sea level, the house is brushed by a wonderful breeze that works with the huge, metre-thick walls of the property to keep the place incredibly comfortable even in the heat of the Sicilan summer. Outside, an 800m2 garden is planted with all manner of fruit trees, and well maintained the brickwork terrace is the perfect spot to host a barbecue, enjoy an aperitivo or just take in the views in complete peace and quiet. TWIN APARTMENTS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN KITCHEN, BATHROOM AND PRIVATE ENTRANCE The upper apartment is the more complete of the two, with some fabulous traditional floor tiles and the benefits of a complete refurbishment that took place just 20 years ago. You'll find characterful vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms and a living room with a Juliet balcony and a great view. A separate kitchen and a bathroom with a shower complete the floor plan. The ground floor is simpler, divided into only three spaces plus the bathroom. Like the upper apartment there is an entrance hall, but the remaining room has been divided into a kitchen-diner and a bedroom-living room. The decoration on this level is much simpler and you'll need to put some work into this level to realise its full potential, but the views from the patio outside and the character that radiates from this historic building will make it entirely worth your while.

Villa Presti - Cefalu TWO-BEDROOM, SEA-VIEW HOUSE IN CEFALÙ'S GREEN HILLS Surrounded by woodland, at the top of one of the lower peaks of the Madonie Natural Park but just twelve minutes' drive from Cefalù, Chalet Presti offers a sensational blend of seclusion and convenience. With Cefalù one of Sicily's blue chip tourist markets, this is a very solid investment for an enticing price per square metre – the total covered area spans a huge 240m2. We see Chalet Presti as being ripe for a makeover with the addition of a pair of extra bedrooms, giving it a sleeping capacity of eight plus, and significant potential as a vacation rental if you don't plan to live there 365 days a year. VAST STORAGE SPACE FOR CARS OR AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY Built on two floors and a mezzanine, the house takes advantage of the hillside to offer beautiful views from every room. The ground floor is currently a huge garage, or storage space, but there is tons of potential to put this to a more efficient use. Outside is a terrace which overlooks the green hillside rolling down to a wide stretch of coastline which is visible throughout. BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS LIVING AREA On the upper floor is the main living area of the house. Here you will find a pair of bedrooms and twin bathrooms, as well as a spacious family kitchen. However, the majority of the space is taken up with a chalet-style, high-ceilinged open space living room, with a mezzanine gallery built on a slight overhang. This intelligent bit of design has created what is currently used as an additional living area and a dining space. Of course it could be changed in something more efficient, like 2 new bedrooms. OAKS, CORKS AND PINES Set in an ample wooded estate of 5500m2, Chalet Presti is a wonderful getaway in a prestigious district where many of the island's rich and famous spend their summers.

Villa Gioiosa Between sky and sea, nestled in the hills in the reserved area of S. Lucia di Gioiosa Marea, in a paradisiacal setting between woods, mountains and sea, the villa offers a priceless view, a typical example of the beauty of the northern coast of Sicily. The building is an optimal synthesis of the characteristics of the place where it is located: a rugged landscape by the sea with a breathtaking view. The property is less than 3 km from the centre of Gioiosa Marea, where all the main services and shops can be found, and of course miles of beaches and sea. The village is right in front of the Aeolian Islands, which are easy to see on sunny days. THE VILLA Leaving the motorway, you drive along a beautiful state road in the countryside, accompanied for long stretches by the view of the sea (driving this road in an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider must be the dream of many...). After leaving the state road, you reach the property via a side road, which is in poor condition for a short stretch, but still easily passable. The villa is arranged on three levels and has two independent entrances. The main entrance is on the first floor. Access is via an external staircase that leads to a large "open hallway". Entering the house, one finds a large living area equipped with a thermal fireplace and a kitchen separated from the living room by a brick archway. Thanks to the large windows in the living room, the house is very light, airy and cool. From the perfectly renovated and furnished kitchen, one has access to a balcony that extends over the entire right side of the house. Access to the sleeping area is through a door that separates the two areas. A small hallway on the left leads to the first master bedroom, which is also in excellent condition, is very large and has access to the balcony. On the right side of the hallway is a second large room with a window overlooking the green forest at the back of the house. Finally, in the middle of the hallway is the finely tiled main bathroom with whirlpool bath. A door in the kitchen area leads to the second floor of the house. This is where the current owners have fitted the laundry room. The presence of a fully finished terrace of over 100 m2 with an impressive 360° view of the surrounding nature would suggest another use for this space. As if all this were not enough, a door in the hallway leads down to the minus 1 floor, where there is a real studio flat with its own entrance, consisting of a kitchen, bathroom with shower and sleeping area. Here, too, the condition is excellent, everything is perfectly furnished and equipped. If desired, it is possible to enter the studio from a large, uncovered terrace, which also offers an incomparable view. The house is built on a plot of 1100sqm, where there are cherry, fig, chestnut and olive trees as well as ornamental plants. If you want, you also have enough space for a small vegetable garden. At the moment, the owners have put a large outdoor pool on the left side of the house, which could also be replaced by a permanent pool. Below the house runs a bridge of the motorway, it is only a short distance, from the tunnel exit to the tunnel entrance. Outside you can hear it when the wind comes from the north. Not inside the house. Surely this is also the reason why the house is offered quite cheaply. SERVICES Heating system: gas boiler and thermo fireplace Water: Connection to the municipal waterworks. Water always available Hot water: boiler and thermo fireplace Sewerage: Connection to the municipal sewerage system Internet: Excellent network coverage, download speed over 100 mb per second. Windows: Double glazing and adjustable external shutters Air conditioning: rooms and studio with heat pump cold/hot CONCLUSIONS The villa is definitely an excellent investment for those lucky enough to buy it! Built in 2012, 10 years later the house seems to have just been built. Both inside and outside it is in excellent condition. Everything is perfectly maintained and furnished. Especially the interior is impeccably maintained and needs no renovation. The materials used are of excellent quality, the terracotta tiles are perfect, the bathrooms are very well equipped, the main kitchen and also that of the studio flat are made of wood, complete with all appliances and in perfect condition. Also very positive is the presence of double-glazed windows and adjustable external shutters which, together with the thermal cover and the thermal fireplace, make the house warm in the mild winter and very cool in the summer. The terrace on the second floor and the uncovered patio on the first floor are little used so far, but could be equipped with barbecues, sofas and verandas to enjoy the magnificent view in the company of friends and family. The house is being sold as you see it, fully furnished and ready to go. You don't have to deal with builders, architects, surveyors and furniture stores.... Everything is already prepared. Pack your bags, your new home in Sicily is already waiting for you.

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.

Enjoying the sunset on the veranda or organising an open-air dinner under the stars, admiring the spectacle of nature that surrounds you could be an experience hard to forget. Having all this always at one's disposal for many could be a real dream The house is served by: Electricity: Active Water: Well with 9,000 litre cistern Hot Water: Boiler Sewer: Black Well Internet: Good network coverage, download speed 40 mega

Plot Dispenza – Sea-view Buildable Land in Sicily's Madonie Natural Park, with Consent to Build Multiple Homes or a Holiday Village 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.

Villa Giò Casuzze (Ragusa Marina) Villa Giò is a splendid, perfectly renovated villa located a few metres from the sea in a residential context. The property is located in one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of eastern Sicily, on the coast of Marina di Ragusa, precisely in the locality of Casuzze, (a hamlet of Santa Croce Camerina). The location allows one to reach the beach even on foot, being only 600 metres away from it. The area offers all the necessary services (restaurants, pizzerias, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc.), but at the same time is less chaotic than nearby Marina di Ragusa. The province of Ragusa can be reached by plane by landing at Comiso (the nearest airport) or Catania (the most important airport). The coastline, with its shallow waters sloping towards the open sea and a wonderfully blue sea is particularly suitable for families with children. Marina di Ragusa is the beating heart of the summer nightlife on the Ragusa coast and is one of the busiest seaside resorts in the whole of Sicily. Those who want to relax in quiet and peaceful areas will find in the Randello Reserve the perfect place to be in contact with nature and enjoy an uncontaminated sea. Situated in the heart of the Val di Noto, with no less than 18 sites declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 2002, Ragusa is one of the most important places for the presence of testimonies of Baroque art, with its churches and eighteenth-century palaces set above all in the ancient part of the city, Ragusa Ibla. An area where history, art and tradition contribute to making the Hyblean area one of the most renowned and popular tourist destinations in Sicily today. A few kilometres from Ragusa are two other UNESCO heritage sites: MODICA, the city of a hundred churches but also of the flavoured chocolate that has been produced there for centuries according to an ancient recipe, and SCICLI, an enchanting, scenic and precious Baroque jewel. The PORTO TURISTICO MARINA DI RAGUSA is only 2 km away from the property, which can be easily covered on foot or by bicycle along an efficient cycle path that runs along the sea and offers a breathtaking view, especially at sunset; it is one of the best equipped and most efficient moorings in Sicily, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. THE VILLA The property was built in 1986 and entirely renovated in 2022. The renovation was aimed at energy efficiency, bringing the dwelling up to energy class A4, through the installation of a 6 kw photovoltaic system with 15 kw storage batteries, a hybrid boiler for heating by means of radiators installed in each room, a heat pump for the production of domestic hot water, and the replacement of windows and doors with thermal break windows. The property is also equipped with air conditioners for cooling/heating, an alarm system and surveillance cameras, a wall safe, an irrigation system for the entire garden, a container for the supply of LPG gas, and a well that guarantees a plentiful supply of water in addition to that provided by the municipality of Santa Croce Camerina. The villa is spread over two floors and enjoys ample equipped outdoor spaces and a large garage on the -1 floor. It has two entrances, one pedestrian and one vehicular, positioned on two different sides of the house. The driveway access leads via a ramp to the lower floor, where there is a very large garage that can accommodate up to four cars or a boat, as well as being a valuable shelter for storing all the outdoor furniture during the colder months when it is not in use. The pedestrian access to the property leads to a beautiful garden with lawn and ornamental and fruit trees (oranges, lemons, olives) and to a large portico where the two entrances to the house are located. The first gives access to the living room, the second to the kitchen. This makes it very convenient to be able to make use of the outdoor spaces to organise lunches and dinners during the long spring and summer months. Continuing along the veranda you reach another perfectly equipped area where you will find an oven, a barbecue, and a laundry room with bathroom and shower. Under the veranda are the two entrances to the house. The first gives access to the kitchen, the second to the living room. On the ground floor there are then two bedrooms, a storage room, a bathroom and a winter garden, cosy and very bright, which constitutes the added value to the house. The property is completed by a beautiful attic room, which is accessed via a spiral staircase located on the left side of the house. The height of the central part of the attic, where the bedroom and the dining area have been positioned, serenely allows it to be exploited to the full. The side part, on the other hand, where the kitchen and bathroom have been positioned, has a limited height. The attic is completed by two balconies located on the two extreme sides of the house. One of the two balconies has a sea view. Its incredible features make the property the most beautiful in the area and certainly one of a kind. An important detail to highlight is also the total regularity of every part of the property, which does not have any illegalities. The Energy Class A4 allows very low running costs of the property and a great appreciation in economic terms of the property. The villa is ready to be lived in. It does not need any work. Nothing is missing except for a swimming pool which can be quietly placed in the large lawn behind the house. 1 Kitchen 1 Living room 1 Winter garden 2 Bedrooms 1 Bathroom 1 Store room 1 Laundry room with shower 1 Porch with barbecue and oven 1 Garage 1 Attic room (kitchen, bathroom with limited ceiling height + living room bedroom with normal ceiling height) Services: Water: Well for irrigation + municipal waterworks Hot water: Hybrid boiler Electricity: 6 kw solar panels + 15 kw storage batteries Double glazing Air Conditioning in each room Alarm system with cameras + wall safe Irrigation system Mobile phone connection speed: 130 MB

Villa Vanessa - Mongerbino Villa Vanessa is a splendid, newly built villa situated on the coastal road that connects Aspra with the fishing village of Porticello. Along this road there are numerous villas that belong or have belonged to wealthy Palermitans. The location is perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the village of Aspra, where freshly caught fish is sold every morning. Numerous pubs, restaurants, bars and all major shopping facilities can be reached in a few minutes. The villa enjoys a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Palermo. The sea is visible from all rooms of the villa and seems to penetrate the house. An expanse of a thousand shades of blue that change depending on the time of day and weather conditions. The villa is about 15 km from the centre of Palermo and less than 50 km from Falcone Borsellino International Airport. Bagheria railway station is also less than 3 km away. The villa The villa stands on a plot of 3,300 metres, most of which is wooded with pine and oak trees. The plot is sloping and extends over the front and rear of the house. The villa was recently completed and consists of 2 floors. The main entrance of the villa is on the right side of the house. The entrance of the villa opens onto a small corridor with a first bedroom on the left, a bathroom on the right and, further along the corridor, a kitchen-diner. At the end of the corridor is the large living room with a fireplace. The room has large windows and double doors that look out onto the large veranda with sea views. Here you can spend the spring and summer months and enjoy the large outdoor area that the villa has. On the left side of the villa there is an outdoor kitchen with barbecue. Everything is new, the window frames with double glazing, thermal insulation and shutters, the doors, the terracotta floors throughout the house and the beautiful fireplace in the corner of the living room. The view from all the windows is breathtaking, the sea can be seen from almost every point of the house. A staircase leads to the second floor where there is a large hallway with windows. Here there is a second door leading to the villa (this door gives the possibility to create two different flats with independent entrances). A corridor then leads to the 3 bedrooms, all of which have access to the terrace and offer sensational sea views. At the end of the corridor is the bathroom on the first floor. The property is located in one of the most beautiful streets in the province of Palermo. Everything has been built to high quality standards and in full compliance with the building regulations in the area. A swimming pool has not yet been installed, but there is enough space for it.

Nobles Anwesen - Aci Reale This 1000 m2 estate in the absolute centre of Aci Reale was bought 20 years ago by a wealthy German and completely restored over eight years of painstaking and elaborate work. The buildings are built around a very beautiful inner courtyard, which also houses a swimming pool, which is currently covered by a wooden platform and a conservatory. The entire property has 30 rooms and 15 bathrooms alone. Everything is more than luxurious, from the bathrooms to the ornate ceilings and marble floors. The origins of this building go back to a Spanish Baroque family who had their headquarters here. Over the years, the property fell into disrepair and was only rediscovered and fully restored by the current owner. There really isn't a corner of this property that isn't in perfect condition. Of course, there is central gas heating and a system for cooling and monitoring. It is not easy to describe this property here. Every room is decorated differently, the owner's love for this property is evident everywhere. You simply have to visit this house yourself and wander through the rooms. There are several kitchens and also five separate flats that can be rented out individually and are not furnished but have been completely renovated. The main house, where the owner lives all year round, has a billiard room, for example, and its own bar, which almost looks like a small pub and is equipped with everything that goes with it. The dining room has room for 20 people, the owner's bedroom is more than luxurious, there is a huge dressing room with an infinite number of cupboards, a huge private bathroom, etc. The property also has several terraces on different levels, which also offer a view over the whole city to the sea. As Catania is easy to reach by plane from many cities, I recommend that anyone interested book a flight and let us and the owner show them round the house. Determining the purchase price is of course difficult, as on the one hand there is the almost lavish interior including all the furniture, for which the owner claims to have spent around € 10 million including the purchase price and renovation work. On the other hand, there is of course a real price per square metre in the centre of Aci Reale, which does not provide for such purchase prices. Nevertheless, the vendor would like to achieve a real price for this property that does not correspond to what he has spent so far, but nevertheless does justice to the value of the property, the renovation work and the furnishings.

Villa Renata - Pachino This newly renovated villa is located in the municipality of Pachino and is ready to move into. Surroundings It is located in Contrada Chiappa (province of Syracuse), about 30 km from the beautiful Noto, 60 km from the centre of Syracuse and about 75 minutes from Catania airport. The property is less than 7 km from the centre of Pachino, where the main shops are located. The nearest towns are Ispica and Rosolini, where there is a large DIY store and a Lidl supermarket. Pachino also includes the almost fashionable Marzamemi, once a large tonnara, where today there are numerous restaurants and a promenade that is free of traffic in summer. The property can be reached via the asphalted Viale Stella Maris and the last approx. 150 metres via a paved dirt road (private road / dead end) and offers a magnificent view of the sea on one side and the well-tended and lush Sicilian countryside on the other. The area in which the property is located consists mainly of agricultural land and some streets with villas and detached houses (summer residences of the Sicilians). No plot is too close, the privacy is maximum and the tranquillity absolute. The proximity to the sea (approx. 400 metres as the crow flies) and to the ‘Pantani Longarini’ nature reserve as well as the surrounding countryside make the location extremely pleasant. The property has an access gate to the plot (not automatic) and is fully fenced. On the right side of the property there is a gate that gives access to a plot of land of approx. 1,400 metres with attractive ornamental plants. This plot is for sale and there may be an opportunity to purchase it. The property The property is in excellent condition, the construction dates from the late 90's and is structurally regular (apart from the external porch that connects the property to the external kitchen. This is absolutely not a problem). The current owners have renovated the interior and installed a new kitchen in the last two years. Only the bathroom could still be renovated. In addition, the large terrace has been renovated with beautiful wall panels and the large garden areas have been ‘weeded’ and covered with protective film and mulch. A new lemon tree was also planted. For this reason, the exterior facades are now well preserved and maintained so that they do not require any intervention, and the interiors have also been perfectly restored. The property shows no signs of moisture penetration anywhere and the structural strength is also excellent. The 360-degree views that the property enjoys over the surrounding countryside are very beautiful. From the terrace on the first floor, you can enjoy a marvellous view of the sea and the Pantani Longarini, a lush nature reserve where wildlife and vegetation provide the rural context. The property is surrounded by the Sicilian countryside and does not border any other building plots. There is only one other villa in the same street, but about 150 metres away. Nevertheless, security is maximised, the area is super quiet and completely residential. Not far from the property, on the tarmac road, there are many plots, mostly small villas with private gardens. The house The property is on one level, about 20 metres above sea level. On the first floor, which is accessed via an external staircase, there is a terrace and a very useful attic used as a storage room. There are two formal entrance areas, one facing west and one facing north. The house can also be entered via the covered outdoor area. The south-facing terrace can also be accessed from the living room. The northern entrance leads to a small corridor that leads to two bedrooms and another corridor that leads to the bathroom, the third bedroom and the living area. The main area consists of a large living room with an open-plan kitchen. There is a fully functional fireplace which can be used to heat the house in the winter months. In the hallway there is still a stove pipe where a pellet stove used to be. There are also 3 large double bedrooms and a bathroom. The house is in excellent condition, fully furnished and already equipped with the most important appliances (washing machine, dishwasher, cooker, fridge). The bedrooms are in perfect condition, well painted and without humidity problems. There are two air conditioning units in the house, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. The second bedroom has a ceiling fan. The windows and doors are double glazed. The electrical system is up to standard, as is the water system. External spaces The external spaces adjoining the property are cemented at the front where the entrance gate is located. As soon as you enter the fully fenced plot, there is a large parking area where you can easily park up to three cars. To the two sides and rear, the outside areas are paved with non-slip ceramic tiles of excellent workmanship and in excellent condition. At the rear of the property there is a canopy that connects the property with a very generously equipped outdoor kitchen. Adjacent to the outdoor kitchen is a comfortable bathroom with shower and washbasin. This covered area is furnished with tables and seating where you can dine al fresco in comfort. To the left is a staircase that provides access to the terrace and the loft. Finally, on the right side of the property, a gate gives access to a beautiful block in a garden area of approximately 1,400 square metres.

There is also a security system in the house with two motion detectors (subscription with security company in the region). Conclusion My personal conclusion is that the property is valuable and attractive. The context in which the property is located is undeniably beautiful. The house has been maintained and repaired in the past two years, is therefore in very good condition and can be lived in immediately. If you are not planning to move to Italy permanently, you can continue to rent the flat while you are away.
