While waiting for a taxi outside Comiso airport, I am kissed by the tender April sun. I fear that I will be making the journey with an anonymous new car with a chemical scent and a noisy young man. It is not so, I am greeted by an old white Beetle, driven by a disheveled curly girl who seems to have come straight from a demonstration in '68. The car smells of oranges (she dries them herself to create natural perfumes) the jazz music goes well with the context but is a pleasant background in a conversation that seems to be taking place between old friends. She asks me the reason for the trip, I only have a small yellow trolley with me, and I tell her that I have come to visit some properties, but alas I only have two days and 6 houses to see. She asks me what the first address is to reach and I realize that I am giving her carte blanche, I ask her if she wants to be my guide and driver for two days. The "why not" was the answer I was hoping for and so we head together towards the first property. I understand why he chose this first, it's a villa, directly overlooking the sea. It's not a sumptuous and a bit snobbish modern villa all glass and steel, honestly it looks a bit like an old fisherman with this slightly cracked external shell. I cross the boundary wall welcomed by the serenity of seaside places. The ground floor of the house is a large porch, we could say that this house is almost a stilt house. At the moment it doesn't seem very used but I think that adorned with plants and with some sliding glass doors it will be the place for moments of contemplation and conversation. Here, you can sit with a good book or sip a cup of mint tea, while the sun rises in the sky, painting the world with golden shades. In one corner a garage, discreet and functional, ready to store cars and bicycles, symbols of daily adventures along the coast. I generally look at houses for the light and the spaces because the house is an intimate place and needs to be personalized. Here the light is not lacking and I immediately find my corner of paradise, a balcony overlooking the coast, where the waves gently crash on the shore and the scent of saltiness mixes with the fresh air. The living room is airy and designed to encourage conviviality with its open kitchen and various niches to create a living room and dining area; the large French windows of the terraces allow natural light to flood the room, or to look out directly onto the sea, offering a breathtaking view. Imagine opening the glass doors and letting the sea breeze in, while the sound of the waves accompanies your conversations. The two bedrooms, each with its own distinctive character, are havens of tranquility. Here, rest is guaranteed, lulled by the sweet song of the waves. The two well-designed and practical bathrooms make every moment of the daily routine a pleasant and refreshing experience. In this corner of paradise, every detail is designed to celebrate the beauty of life by the sea. The house is not just a dwelling, but a refuge for the soul, a place where memories intertwine with the sweetness of nature. Every day spent here is an invitation to live with passion and gratitude, to discover the wonder of a panorama that changes with the tides and to enjoy the serenity of a simple and authentic existence. Now I'm going down, I saw that my guide is already in his swimsuit and I don't want to miss a swim embraced by the red of the sunset.

Strolling through the center of Piazza Armerina, I meet up with Luigi, my guide for the day. He has the air of a slightly melancholic actor, and his name seems to tie him—unknowingly—to one of the most famous fathers of Italian literature, who was born on this marvelous Mediterranean island. With a sly smile, he takes me to see the first property on my list: a fully renovated apartment, a modern and refined interpretation of a historic residence. The old building that houses it, located on the first floor, has been renovated on the first two levels: the ground floor, which now hosts commercial spaces, and the piano nobile, with an independent side entrance—that’s the one we’re about to visit. Luigi points out how the renovation was designed to gracefully welcome those seeking an atmosphere of class, while keeping intact the connection to local tradition and the soul of the place. The apartment, he tells me, has a long history of hospitality. Years ago, truck drivers would stop here after long journeys to refuel—the building had a gas station attached—and then spend the night in the rooms we’re about to see. With the same sly smile, he adds that more than resting their weary bodies, they were here to satisfy other needs. Only the silent walls know those stories now. Today, the rooms have been redesigned to become an exclusive bed & breakfast, made up of large, bright spaces, all furnished in a modern and refined style—never too much, always just right. We visit the common living area, which opens onto a picturesque view of the town. It's a cozy space where color and natural light intertwine to offer moments of relaxation. We continue with the four bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. Every room features a brightly painted wall behind the bed—a sensory touch that gives each space its own unique identity. The rooms' beauty is enhanced by barrel-vaulted ceilings, finished with Venetian stucco and masterfully lit to add a regal feel to every corner. Each room is equipped with air conditioning and private bathrooms, featuring spacious showers that invite guests to unwind. Two of the rooms open onto small balconies overlooking the piazza, where the town’s life flows slowly and calmly, always within sight of those who appreciate history and the city’s living breath. One of the rooms includes a beautiful corner whirlpool tub, large enough for two. I must say, the beauty of the old has been perfectly blended with the comfort and practicality of the new. I believe this property is an unmissable opportunity for anyone looking to not just purchase an apartment, but to own a piece of history—lovingly restored and ready to become a profitable business. What are you waiting for? These rooms whisper that they can't wait to become the silent witnesses of many new stories waiting to unfold.

Welcome to Naro, the “Fulgentissima” as Frederick II fondly called it, and the Italian Capital of Culture for 2025. We are in the province of Agrigento, just a few kilometers from the Valley of the Temples and the stunning Sicilian coastline. This charming town showcases one of Sicily’s highest expressions of Baroque architecture, with its monuments, churches, and palaces delighting residents, tourists, and lovers of culture and design alike. Here lies Palazzo Morillo, an 18th-century Baroque building nestled between the town’s main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and Via Specchi and Via Riolo. What we’re visiting today is the piano nobile of this historic residence—an exquisite example of 18th-century Baroque and one of the town’s most prominent and elegant palaces. Entry is through a carved wooden door on Via Riolo, leading to a majestic marble staircase adorned with arches and columns that brings us to the main floor. This level features eight spacious rooms, a kitchen, and service areas. The building’s exterior façade is adorned with seven balconies resting on stone bases, all enriched with refined moldings, friezes, and decorative elements. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where we find another service room and a stunning terrace with views over the picturesque historic center and the sea beyond. This historic residence spans over 400 square meters. Moving from room to room is a unique experience, where the carefully crafted ceramic floors—each space displaying a distinct pattern or optical effect—lead the way, while your gaze is drawn upwards to the high, frescoed ceilings. The atmosphere is one of sophistication and elegance, inviting you to relive the grandeur of times past. Stucco, plasterwork, and baroque details follow you from one room to the next, as does the light, seemingly chasing you thanks to excellent exposure on three sides and large windows that flood the space with warm, natural light throughout the day. The property is unoccupied, can be subdivided, and requires renovation—except for the roof, which has been completely replaced in recent years. This is not simply a house to fall in love with—it is one that commands respect for its noble and ancient heritage. Restoring its magnificent floors, reclaiming the period woodwork, and reviving its frescoes to their original splendor is not just a possibility, but a tribute. Given its central location, generous dimensions, and inherent character, the choice is yours: a prestigious luxury residence? A charming hospitality business? A one-of-a-kind event venue? One thing is certain: your new home comes with a message of hope and blessing, engraved in stone beneath the grandest balcony—“Long live Divine Providence, 1790.” Still reading? Book a viewing now—you won’t be disappointed.

The car stops in front of a large gate. Mom smiles, pats her belly and says, “We're here.” I jump down, curious. Dad opens the gate and we stand in front of a large house, surrounded by greenery. All around, just silence, wind in the trees, and a garden that never seems to end. Dad says it's over 13,000 meters of land all of ours, I don't know how many there are, but I see so many! I run toward the house. The entrance is wide and smells of orange. On the ground floor is a bright living area with large windows. The kitchen is huge - I can already imagine grandma making arancini - and there is a room with a sitting area and a stove of those beautiful ones, which also warms the heart. At the back, a modern bathroom and a laundry room, all comfortable and neat. There's even a door that leads straight to the garage: no more shopping bags in the rain and I'll finally have a workshop where I can fix my little cars. I run up the stairs. On the second floor is a bathroom, and a room where, they say, Mom and Dad will sleep with their soon-to-be-born baby sister. Another room for the grandparents that will become a kitchen when they get a room on the ground floor. A door that leads into a secret third floor, everything here is still in the rough, when I grow up Mom said there will be a room for me, one for my sister and three more to accommodate friends and relatives plus of course the bathroom, actually two. Outside there is a barbecue area under the trees. Father promises that in the summer we will have barbecues with the grandparents, who will come to live with us during the vacations. But the best thing is that I will finally have Spike. Father read in a newspaper about an abandoned Belgian shepherd. He said we will adopt him together. I will never leave him, Spike will be my best friend. This is not just a home. It is a dream, here in Piazza Armerina, in the hills of Sicily. It is the place where we will grow up, together. Born soon little sister Spike and I will need a companion for adventure.

After a long and rewarding career, Anna has finally reached the well-deserved goal of retirement. With the money of the liquidation he decided to realize a dream that he cultivated for a long time: buy his own house in a place rich in history, culture and natural beauty. The choice fell on Modica, a beautiful baroque town in the province of Ragusa, in south-eastern Sicily. Famous for its handmade chocolate, the majestic churches and picturesque alleys, Modica is also close to the sea: in a few minutes drive you can reach golden beaches and crystal clear waters. The property that Anna has bought is in a quiet, panoramic and well connected area. This is a two-storey house, with two separate apartments. On the ground floor there is a garage, a kitchen, a bedroom and a terrace with beautiful views of the city and the hills. On the first floor, instead, there is a second house consisting of kitchen, living room with its balcony and a double bedroom overlooking the beautiful terrace that we have already found also on the ground floor. Anna has decided to merge the two apartments into a single house on two levels. On the ground floor has a large living area with kitchen, bright and cozy, ideal to receive friends and family. Upstairs she has kept the bedrooms, ready to welcome her two children during the holidays when they come to visit her with their families. To ensure a certain degree of independence during periods when children and grandchildren stay for long periods, Anna has thought of an intelligent furniture: a transformable piece of furniture that allows you to separate part of the living room on the ground floor, creating an autonomous and functional space. This solution, in addition to offering greater convenience for the family, also opens up the possibility of renting a part of the house for short periods, generating an extra income. Serene and satisfied with her choice, Anna enjoys the new life in Modica, between walks by the sea, sunsets on the terrace and the warmth of a house finally all his own, Anna still does not exist, But surely you have imagined yourself here in his place...waiting to enjoy the well-deserved rest with the family.

"Honey, you can't imagine how wonderful this is!" My mother's voice is full of excitement, clear and alive on the other end of the phone. "We arrived in Sicily this morning and now we are at Alessandra's house, on the hills that embrace Piazza Armerina. My love... I have no words. She lives in a villa that seems to have come out of a daydream! It is immersed in a sea of ​​olive trees, which move slowly with the wind as if they were whispering ancient stories. The landscape is a continuous wonder: gentle hills that chase each other to the horizon, the intense scent of wild rosemary that mixes with the warm air, and that light... oh, that golden light that here in Sicily seems to bless everything. On the clearest days, Alessandra told me that you can even see Etna, far away, but majestic. The villa sits on a slightly sloping terrain, surrounded by silence and nature. When I saw it for the first time, I felt like I was entering a painting: an elegant but sincere house, welcoming like a hug. On the ground floor there is a splendid covered patio, with wooden beams and a barbecue area that smells already of summer evenings, laughter and good wine. The kitchen, large and bright, is a little gem with windows wide open on the olive trees, every detail chosen with care. Next to it there is an intimate living room, furnished with simple but refined taste, the relaxation area with a large fireplace, a comfortable bathroom and Alessandra's bedroom overlooking the garden. Going up one level - even if, given the slope of the land, it still seems like the ground floor - another living room opens up, with a large terrace overlooking the valley. It is my favorite corner: the sun comes in from every side and seems to caress your skin. Here there is a delightful guest room, where I will sleep these days with a bathroom just for me and the private terrace ideal for my tan. On the top floor, in the attic, there are two bedrooms in one went to Lucia and the other to Sandra and a really pretty bathroom. Everything smells of lavender, wood and cleanliness. The windows overlook the olive trees, and in the evening... it is something that cannot be explained. You only feel the chirping of crickets and the wind in the leaves. No noise, just peace. A silence that enters you, and heals you. Alessandra is happy here, you can see it in her eyes, in her calm gestures, in her serene voice. Next time we have to come together, you and I. I want you to see all this, feel it too. This place steals your heart." This could be the call your guests will make after staying at your fantastic property in Piazza Armerina.

There is a place, in the hills of Modica, where time has stopped. Not in the sense that nothing happens, on the contrary. But there, the days pass slowly, to the rhythm of light, wind and silences full of life. The villa cannot be seen immediately. You have to travel along a small road that climbs between dry stone walls and rows of olive trees. Then, suddenly, it opens before your eyes like a postcard, framed by fruit trees, centuries-old carob trees and the sweet scent of the sun-kissed earth. It is a welcoming home. It comes to meet you with the warmth of ancient stone, restored with respect, and that sense of peace that only certain places can give. She's not ostentatious, she's not pretentious: she's authentic. True as a happy memory. Inside, the fireplace waits for someone to light the fire. In the large built-in kitchen you can still hear the echo of voices, of kneading hands, of the slow-cooking wood-fired oven. Everything smells of family, of slow Sundays, of generously poured wine. In the outdoor kitchen created from an attached building, the air tastes like embers and wood. There we laugh, we listen to stories, we toast to summer and life that flows. And when evening falls, with cicadas playing in the background, just look up to understand that you are in the right place. Under the covered veranda, where time really seems to expand, you have lunch in the shade during the hottest hours, you read a book suspended between light and silence, you chat until late with the breeze caressing your skin. It is one of those places where even waiting tastes sweet. Two large rooms with bathroom with independent entrance seem designed for those who arrive and no longer want to leave. Or for those who, every now and then, need their own corner. And then there is the garden. It's not just any garden: it's a small oasis. Every tree, every plant tells something. And if you stop in silence, you can hear the sound of water flowing, down there, from the old well brought back to life, quenching the earth's thirst and guarding the memory of the past time. This villa cannot be visited. You live. And when you leave – if you leave – you realize that something is left with you. A smell, an image, a sensation. Like a promise of return.

Appartamento Giusi - Termini Imerese In the friendly market town of Termini Imerese, just half an hour from Cefalù and Palermo, Appartamento Giusi is a cosy little studio on the second floor of a corner terrace townhouse with a lovely sea-view balcony. A COMPLETE RENOVATION AND FULL FURNISHING The apartment is being fully renovated, and will be delivered with all of the work finished. You can expect a floor in Portuguese marble and windows in original wood with double glazing. The fitted kitchen will include an oven, induction hob and fridge freezer decorated with a backsplash in local majolica tiling. Everything is well lit thanks to the French windows that lead you out onto that lovely sea-view balcony. The bedroom area will have a 140cm bed and a high quality mattress to guarantee you a comfortable night's sleep. The bathroom will include a box shower as well as a washing machine, plus the usual suite of ceramics. A small washroom will link this to the main body of the apartment, and from here you will also be able to access a storeroom at the far end of the building, under a flight of stairs. OFFERED FOR SALE SUBJECT TO PRE-CONTRACT The vendor is seeking a buyer who is prepared to make a deposit in order to finish the renovation work. The great advantage of this is that while you will still receive an apartment that is in pristine condition, you will avoid all of the hard work and frustrations that can come with renovating your own property. This is especially advantageous if you're buying in Sicily for the first time - we love our island but the pace at which things get done can take a bit of getting used to! So we see the pre-sale agreement as a really big point in favour of Appartamento Giusi. A PRACTICAL LOCATION MOMENTS FROM THE SEA Termini is a very traditional Sicilian town and although it has an abundance of history, it is in no way spoilt by tourism. The nearby ruins of the ancient spa town of Imera are a short drive away, and the castle and medieval village of Caccamo can be reached in 20 minutes. Beach lovers will be amazed by how easy it is to reach Cefalù by road or rail, with the Termini Imerese station only ten minutes walk from Appartamento Giusi. This can also bring you right into the heart of Sicily's intoxicating cultural and commercial capital, Palermo. With the sun-drenched sands of the Tyrrhenian coast on one side of you and the green hills of the Madonie Natural Park on the other, this is a stellar spot to give yourself a base in Sicily at such a tempting price.

Casa Viola - Gratteri A historic little home in the heart of one of our favourite Sicilian villages, Casa Viola in Gratteri is a real winner at the affordable asking price. INTELLIGENTLY USED SPACE ON FOUR FLOORS The cosy little town house in fact offers 95m2 of living space, with a simple floor plan that sees one main room and one secondary space on each level. Starting from the bottom, we find two double bedrooms on the lowest two storeys of the property, each of which is actually set below the street level but open at the far side thanks to the steep hillside on which the house has been built. On both of these floors is a bathroom with a shower, one an en-suite and the other accessed off the little landing. The ground floor proper has a hallway with plenty of space for storing coats, shoes and so forth. Around the corner is a living room with a miniature balcony. Finally, the top level is home to the kitchen-diner, with bench seating in a nook under the window and all the fittings you would expect. We've saved the best for last though – the square terrace lets natural light flood into the kitchen and gives you an unbelievably nice option for outdoor dining, with a panoramic view that takes in practically the whole of Gratteri and much of the green surrounding countryside. It's a real treat that everyone is certain to love. TRADITIONAL, WARM AND WELCOMING The current owners of Casa Viola have put real effort into the presentation of the home, and you will find it in very good condition. There is no need whatsoever to renovate or invest anything beyond the purchase price. We particularly like the blue and white ceramic tiles which have been used throughout, and which give the property a really distinctive identity. You'll find them underfoot in the entrance, all the rooms and on the upper staircase, and they've also been used to fully tile the two bathrooms. Other charming and distinctively Sicilian features include the exposed roof timbers on the ceilings of the bedrooms and kitchen. Up here you will also surely be charmed by the built-in brick oven, right in the middle of the room. It's not something you'll use every day - and as you can see there is also an alcove that's perfect for a more modern oven – but it does make a great centrepiece and on special occasions you can prepare your food in the historic style of the region. NATURAL WONDERS IN ALL DIRECTIONS Gratteri is a scenic spot in the middle of the Madonie Park, with wonderful views and enticing driving roads and hiking trails in all directions. If you like your outdoor time a little more sedate, it's just seven kilometres to the north coast, where you'll find golden sandy beaches in all directions. A particular highlight is the iconic beach town of Cefalù, which you can reach in half an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

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.

Villa Tiziana - Casteldaccia An oasis of calm fifteen miles outside Palermo, Villa Tiziana is an elegant six-bedroom home with sea views and a shady garden. A PHENOMENAL LOCATION, ALMOST AT THE WATER'S EDGE One kilometre east of Casteldaccia in the province of Palermo, between the state road and motorway that follow Sicily's north coast and the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a little stretch of residential development follows the sandy beaches. This is a quiet neighbourhood characterised by large villas organised along private cul-de-sacs, and midway along one of these we find Villa Tiziana. The street is gated, with the maintenance costs of the private road shared by a small number of residents. In return they enjoy private access to a lovely little sandy bay, which is otherwise reachable only by sea. From the northern corner of the semi-detached property to the water's edge is not even 100m as the crow flies – you will be able to hear and smell the salt water from every outdoor space of your huge Sicilian beach house. A HUGE, VERSATILE VILLA SLEEPING A DOZEN IN COMFORT The three storeys of this semi-detached villa are efficiently divided, with a minimum of passageways and hallways and an emphasis on community. Everything indoors begins from the 45m2 living room-cum-diner; a focal point for family life that connects to the gardens, the kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. Upstairs a sunny landing leads you to three more double bedrooms, each of which opens directly onto the deep open terrace. From here you can take an external staircase up to the flat roof, from where you can enjoy a fantastic 360 degree panorama that takes in lush green hills, pristine white homes and sparkling turquoise sea, all under the vast blue canopy of the Sicilian sky. Underground, a basement offers storage space across the full size of the building; over 60m2 which could in the future become a home gym, family room or even a studio apartment. FURNISHED AND HABITABLE: NO FURTHER INVESTIMENT NEEDED The vendors have only made Villa Tiziana their summer home, meaning that despite being nearly half a century old it has aged very well. A pair of the bedrooms downstairs are recent additions, and one of the upper ones has been renovated with a new floor and a lovely feature wall. Any renovation work would be purely a question of personal taste, priorities or aesthetics. The windows are single-glazed but beautifully made in solid wood. The bathrooms are original from the 1980s, but still work with no issue. The outdoor kitchen could be refreshed but the stone ovens are there forever. The basement would need work to be used as a living space, but does the job of a large storeroom perfectly. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa D'Anna - Campofelice Almost directly on the coast just a few kilometres from one of Sicily's best-loved beach towns, Casa d'Anna is a four-bedroom family villa surrounded by greenery and fresh sea air. AMPLE AND IMPRESSIVE INDOOR SPACES The floor plan of the extra large 228m2 villa is built around an open plan living room and diner which curves around to include the elegant open staircase, and opens though double doors into a lounge. Offering over 50m2 of space for eating, entertaining and relaxing, it's a beautiful sunny room with twin French windows and one that makes a superb first impression. From here you can pass directly into the fully fitted kitchen, itself large enough for a breakfast table and with a paved veranda outside for al fresco mealtimes. Upstairs, four double bedrooms guarantee that you will never have problems accommodating family or visitors. All four of these enjoy direct access onto one of the house's upper balconies, including a long one running the entire east side of the building. This connects the three largest bedrooms, and offers a great view over the quiet green neighbourhood. From one end you can even see the sea. The fourth bedroom has a private balcony. Two bathrooms, two storerooms and an outbuilding complete the villa. GARDENS TO CONNECT YOU TO A BEAUTIFUL GREEN REGION The gardens which wrap right around Casa d'Anna are green and welcoming, planted with a grassy lawn and a wide variety of trees. In total the plot measures 500m2. This also includes several expanses of open patio, a terracotta pathway around the building and off-street parking for three or four cars. The green hills of the Madonie Natural Park are clearly visible on the horizon. Closer to home, the neighbourhood, which grew up around the historic castle of Roccella along the Gulf of Termini Imerese, is filled with similar properties, and you will find the neighbours very respectful and private. The beach is only three hundred metres up the road, and the refreshing sea breeze keeps the property cool indoors and out, even at the height of the Sicilian summer. ALL OF SICILY ON YOUR DOORSTEP As well as Cefalù, just a fifteen minute drive east, Casa d'Anna is perfectly positioned as a base from which to explore the whole island. The enthralling city of Palermo is only forty minutes away, the hills of the Madonie unfold inland, and you can reach almost everywhere on Sicily in under two hours, including the temples of Agrigento, the salt flats of Trapani and the port cities of Messina and Catania in the shadow of Mount Etna on the east coast. It's an unbeatable location for a quiet family home with untold adventures right around the corner. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Maurizio - Porticello An advanced renovation project for an experienced or adventurous developer, Casa Maurizio needs a lot of care and attention. In the long run though, we think it offers great value as a two-bedroom family home or a three-apartment guesthouse. THREE STOREY TOWNHOUSE WITH A ROOF TERRACE The building has a footprint of about 35m2, and is built on three floors plus a little loft space and what will become the roof terrace. Each level has a pair of rooms, with the front ones facing west and overlooking the street. At present the upper windows have been closed up and the balconies fallen completely through, but by the time you have three new French windows in place the home will be full of natural light, especially in the afternoons. The ceilings are three metres or higher, and the staircases are one above each other on the south side of the property. Planning permission has already been given for the terrace, and this will transfer with the ownership. The only issue to be aware of is that the current certificate will expire in March 2026, meaning that if you're not able to get to work in a hurry you'll need to spend a little more on renewing it. A REAL RENOVATION CHALLENGE The entire property will need to be redone, with the only exception being the walls, foundations, ground floor and first staircase. The internal floors and ceilings will have to be rebuilt, as will the roof. As we mentioned before, the balconies are missing and all of the electrical and plumbing fittings will need to be added from scratch. Obviously plastering and decoration will be the final stage, along with fitting kitchens and bathrooms. The great advantage of a project that needs this much work is, of course, that you can really shape it to your own needs. If you want a top floor kitchen opening directly onto the roof terrace to make al-fresco dining a cinch, that's absolutely possible. On the other hand, maybe you see the investment potential of three independent apartments, each with a bathroom at the rear and its own self-catering facilities. A FRIENDLY, TRADITIONAL VILLAGE THAT'S DECEPTIVELY CLOSE TO THE CITY Wandering the quiet streets or enjoying an aperitivo in front of the tranquil marina of Porticello, you would have no clue that you were only twenty minutes from Italy's fifth-largest city. The peninsula of Capo Zafferano screens Palermo from view, and instead you have the lovely landscape of green hills rising up from the Gulf of Termini Imerese. However, you can get into Sicily's capital city in twenty minutes by car, and the same time if you take a train from the nearby Santa Flavia station. This makes Casa Maurizio perfect for someone moving to Palermo for work but dreaming of a quiet home life outside the city, or a regular visitor who needs to switch off from the world just 45 minutes from a major international airport.

Terreno con Rustico - Selinunte Within a kilometre of an iconic archaeological site and a remarkably beautiful beach, Terreno con Rustico in the town of Selinunte is a great piece of land waiting for the right buyer to put up a lovely family villa. 7,000M2 OF PRESTIGE BUILDING LAND This plot is a long rectangle, a strip measuring 25m by 280m. Connected at one end to the main road that runs into Selinunte, it is flat, arable land with some fine olive trees that must be at least 80 years old, and a copse of about forty pines at the far end. The neighbouring land has not been extensively developed either, meaning that you won't have a feeling of being squeezed in, wherever you decide to put your new villa. There is an existing house about 250m from the road, but this is in very poor condition with questionable foundations, and will almost certainly need to be demolished. The size of the land means that you can build 240m2 of home, more than enough for a three of four-bedroom villa on two floors. A SEAFRONT NATURE RESERVE AND ANCIENT TEMPLES ON YOUR DOORSTEP The town of Selinunte is widely renowned for its archaeological park, the largest of its kind in Europe. The ruins of a Greek town have been painstakingly excavated over the years, with some of the most beautiful temples restored to a remarkable condition. If you build a two-storey home these ancient treasures will actually be on display from your upstairs windows and balconies. The park begins just 600m from the entrance to this plot. A less well-known but equally dazzling attraction is the Riserva Naturale Orientata Foce Belice. This protected area covers the beaches, dunes and tall grasses along the coast from Selinunte as you head east towards Sciacca and Agrigento. As well as providing a haven for all manner of wildlife it's a truly unbeatable spot to visit for a day at the beach. The four kilometre strip of sand offers more than enough space for all visitors and the remote location gives you a feeling of total escape from the cares of the world. This is just a kilometre away.

Tenute La Rocca - Collesano Three kilometres south of Collesano, in the Madonie Natural Park, Tenuta La Rocca is a large countryside estate with a house in need of renovation and a fully operational restaurant. AN ACTIVE RESTAURANT WITH ACCOMMODATION In the past, Tenuta La Rocca was a renowned countryside restaurant, with two dining rooms capable of hosting more than eighty guests in a single service. It enjoyed excellent business with both locals and tourists, especially during holidays and festive periods, when it offered set menus for large family groups. It held ratings above 4.5/5 on both Google and Tripadvisor. Everything needed to reopen the business is included in the asking price, including two fully equipped dining rooms, recently renovated bathrooms, and a fully functional 40 m2 kitchen. Built around a large courtyard, the restaurant building also includes seven guest bedrooms, giving it enormous potential if properly marketed as a venue for weddings or other events. An investment will be required to renovate this accommodation structure and make it as attractive as it deserves to be, but if you are able to do so, you could have an exceptional and versatile venue at your disposal.
