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

Casa Renato - Furnari A huge sea-facing plot with a view of the Marinello lakes and the Gulf of Tindari, Casa Renato is an intriguing property with enormous potential TWIN COTTAGE WITH SEA VIEWS The bricks and mortar on the estate are limited to a pair of cottages. One of these has a kitchen and a sleeping area, the other a living room and a bathroom with a shower. The former is an older building, although renovated with a new kitchen in masonry and colourful tiles, and recently installed windows. The latter, while officially an outbuilding, has a French window and a lovely sea view. GROW YOUR OWN OLIVES AND GRAPES The estate spans 10,000m2 of quiet hillside land. Around fifty percent of this estate is given to a huge vineyard, now somewhat overgrown but which has the potential to be regenerated and produce a fulsome crop of grapes every harvest season. Of the remaining land, much is given to an olive grove, where approximately 350 mature trees yield 600 litres of premium quality oil every year. The whole of the estate is classified as agricultural land, which means that you could raise livestock as well as growing any kind of fruit or vegetables here if you chose. AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AND BUILD The land's size would allow for the construction of a new home measuring up to 110m2, if you have the means to do so. It would certainly offer a spellbinding view, as well as a practical base from which to oversee the growth and collection of the fruit. A neighbouring plot is anticipated to come on the market in the very near future, giving the opportunity to expand the holding even further.

Casa Concetta - Custonaci Two separate holiday homes with a shared driveway and outdoor spaces, Casa Concetta is a great opportunity to run a small tourist business in Sicily or even to move here full time and welcome all the guests you like. Only twenty minutes from the world-famous beach of San Vito Lo Capo it will certainly never be a hard sell to visitors! CLASSIC SICILIAN ARCHITECTURE IN A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SETTING The house is a long low building with straight lines, topped by an almost flat roof in traditional Sicilian curved tiles. Seen from any angle it fits perfectly against the tall rocky hillsides to either side of it. The rusticated plaster walls are painted a warm sandy yellow, and a subtle accent of exposed stone echoes the low walls that border the garden and pathways. Occasional majolica tiles add a decorative touch: this is a quintessentially Sicilian house, one you just couldn't find in the north of Italy. A veranda at the front of the first apartment and one at the side of the second offer shade and space to relax or eat al-fresco. There's a built-in stone oven, a storeroom and even an outdoor shower. Guests will be certainly appreciate the off-street parking for two or more vehicles. SLEEPS EIGHT IN COMFORT The two apartments are different shapes and were built at different times, but similar in size and the distribution of spaces. The only major difference is that while the upper of the two has a double and a twin bedroom, the first flat has a double plus two singles. One of the singles, at a push, could become a twin. Each one, except the smallest room in the lower apartment, has its own air conditioning unit. Each then has a roomy living space that includes a fitted kitchenette, a dining area and space to relax with a sofa. The bathrooms both have showers and the kitchens have washing machines. The upper apartment is fitted and furnished in slightly more comfort, with modern insulating windows, a newer kitchen and more decorative touches. The lower one is, however, the bigger of the two. A PERFECT LOCATION FOR A SUNNY ESCAPE As we mentioned before, the Caribbean-style seafront of San Vito Lo Capo is just a few kilometres up the road, but the beach options certainly don't end there. Cornino is only ten minutes away and while popular with locals is largely overlooked by tourists, and the same could be said of Macari, fifteen minutes in the other direction. Scopello, on the other side of the headland, is a charming little fishing village, while Castellammare del Golfo is a bigger seaside town. North of Scopello is the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, a magical wild spot that can only be explored on foot or by boat. Further south, a short ferry from the nearby city of Trapani, are the stunning Egadi islands. Nor is this only a beach location. The historic hilltop town of Erice, the salt pans of Trapani and the vineyards of Marsala are all in easy reach. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Appartamento Rosaria - Gioiosa Marea Looking for an affordable coastal home in Sicily that doesn’t require a full renovation? Appartamento Rosaria might just be the answer. SPACE AND LIGHT IN THE HEART OF TOWN Located on the first floor of a well-kept building in Gioiosa Marea, Appartamento Rosaria offers around 96m2 of living space with a bright and airy feel. The heart of the home is a spacious living-dining room, complete with air conditioning, two sofas, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. From here, you’ll find two bedrooms, each with its own balcony, making this an ideal setup for family living, guests, or a home office. PARTIAL SEA VIEWS AND THREE BALCONIES While the apartment isn’t right on the seafront, it still offers charming partial sea views from the kitchen, bathroom, and communal stairwell. The south-facing Juliet balcony off the kitchen brings in extra daylight and gives you that sought-after Sicilian indoor-outdoor connection. Plus, with two additional balconies off the bedrooms, you’ll have no shortage of spots to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening breeze. MOVE-IN READY WITH SCOPE TO IMPROVE Appartamento Rosaria already comes with independent heating, working electrics, and a fully operational kitchen and bathroom. The floors are in good condition, and the space is comfortably liveable as it is. That said, there’s clear potential to add value: a bathroom renovation, some fresh plaster and paint, and optional updates to the kitchen would quickly lift the whole property. Whether you’re looking for a starter holiday home, an affordable rental investment, or a project with manageable upgrades, Appartamento Rosaria delivers great value just a short stroll from the beach.

Casa Marinella - Mistretta A fabulous value-for-money proposition for a buyer with a little time to invest and the appetite for a renovation, Casa Marinella is a four-bedroom villa with an unbeatable view. Miles of Stunning Hillside Laid Out in Front of You On the western edges of the Nebrodi Natural Park, less than four kilometres from the hilltop town of Mistretta, Casa Marinella stands on the western bank of a dramatic valley, which plunges 400m downhill over just a couple of kilometres, directly to the rear of the house. With the mountains opposite rising up to peaks over a thousand metres above sea level, and the waters of the Mediterranean visible on the horizon away to your left, it's a magical panorama almost completely undisturbed by human activity. The two-storey villa has been built to take full advantage of this, at the top of a 4,000m2 plot filled with over a hundred olive and fruit trees, but offering an uninterrupted view over their green canopy from the ground floor terrace and the balcony upstairs. The lower level has nearly 50m2 of mostly covered patio, including an outdoor kitchen with traditional stone fireplaces and grill. This is a property which will transport you to a simpler way of life, in contact with nature and the food chain. 220M2 OF LIVING SPACE ON TWO FLOORS Of course, there is also a conventional kitchen indoors with an antique bread oven, none the less spacious and with room for a family dining table. Joining it on the ground floor are a living room whose window overlooks the valley, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Each of these last two spaces have patio doors straight out onto the terrace. On the first floor you'll find four more rooms and a second bathroom, although the fixtures for this are yet to be installed. Two of the rooms have valley views (even taking in the sea seven kilometres to the north, on a clear day), and the home is flanked by the balcony on two sides. To the rear there is another terrace, a large flat space which takes full advantage of the gradient of the land. A RENOVATION PROJECT WITH A FABULOUS PAYOFF There is a lot of work to be done before Casa Marinella can be said to be truly complete – the upper floor in particular is very much a work in progress. The walls need to be plastered and even, in some points, raised to the level of the roof. The floor is still in cement, and all of the decoration will need to be done from scratch. Of course, the advantage of this is that you can set the place up to look exactly as you would like. The ground floor could be used straight away, and indeed you could live there while working upstairs. At some point it, too, will need a fair amount of work however, with the wiring, windows and bathroom all in particular need of attention. Casa Marinella is definitely a project house – but for the sum of the purchase price and an investment around €100,000 you could own a really stunning big home fifteen minutes from the sea in one of Sicily's most underrated regions.

Villette Venere - Altavilla Milicia Currently approaching the final phase of construction, the twin villas of the Villette Venere in the northern Sicilian town of Altavilla Milicia are now available for advance purchase. LARGE THREE-BEDROOM, THREE BATHROOM HOMES Each of the twin homes will give around 180m2 of indoor space, with by far the largest single area the expansive living room on the ground floor. Its 40m2 will in reality seem even larger, thanks to the large French windows which will lead out into the garden on two sides. Windows on the staircase at the front of the homes will allow for air and natural light to pass right through when you like. On this floor will also be a kitchen, store room and bathroom. Upstairs, a small landing will lead you to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom, especially large at over 20m2, will have an additional en-suite bathroom as well as a walk-in closet. All of the bedrooms will have private access to either a balcony or a terrace. Still Under Construction with the Option to Customise The villas are now fully standing, with the walls, floors and flat roof now in place. The plastering, decoration and all finishings are still to be completed, as is the preparation of the outdoor spaces. This means that buyers who act swiftly will have the option to contribute extensively to much of this process. The developers are proposing the realisation of an optional basement, with the possibility of adding over 100m2 of indoor space to the home. This could eventually be a home gym, playroom, workshop or any number of other possibilities. Another optional extra is the chance to buy a small plot of land to the front of your new home, increasing your garden from 450m2 to 750m2. Finally, and perfect for the heat of the Sicilian summer, you can even opt to install a swimming pool in your yard. But don't wait, once work is completed it will be much harder and more expensive to make changes. Perfect Location for a Rural View and Urban Convenience The plot of this development is found on the very edge of the district of Villabate, only a fifteen minute walk from the heart of the traditional town of Altavilla Milicia. The views from the upper balconies and terraces will take in some fabulous surrounding hillsides, the great blue sky of Sicily and even a little of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the middle distance. Everything you could need on a regular basis is walkable from your new home. If you want the infrastructure or culture of one of Sicily's great cities, however, Palermo is only a half hour journey away, along the motorway or by train to the east. Besides the myriad charms of this legendary metropolis, you can also reach all manner of different beaches, coves and seafront in a similar travel time. The location really does offer the best of all possible worlds. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa Orazio - Brucoli HUGE DETACHED VILLA The three-storey property features four bedrooms of two different sizes, each of which is large enough to be a double if needed. Of course, one could easily become a home office while still giving you a sleeping capacity of six, before you consider adding any sofa beds in the huge living room. These are served by a pair of bathrooms, each with a box shower and a modern suite of fittings. Communal spaces indoors include a very large kitchen-dining room on the first floor, with some lovely exposed stonework on the stairs and dividing archways, and an equally large living room on the top floor, under a gently sloping wooden roof whose beans have been left exposed to give a suggestion of a mountain chalet. Both of these family spaces have been designed with full-wall glazing on the corner which faces down the hill and overlooks the bay below. RECENTLY RENOVATED AND IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION The villa was fully remodelled in 2018, and has new windows, roof and flooring. The kitchen is in great condition and offers all the space you could need for food storage and preparation. Gas-powered radiators provide heat throughout the property, and modern air conditioning units are found in all of the larger rooms. The exterior has been designed in a style which blends traditional Sicilian lines with some neoclassical touches, including the Roman arches which partially enclose the deep veranda flanking the first floor. The open terrace on the top floor is also framed by some decorative balustrades. The only area which remains to be finished is the basement room, a space of about 80m2, only partially underground, next to the double garage. This has all of the necessary connections and wiring to be turned into a playroom, gym, workshop or even a self-contained studio flat, but it will be left to the new buyer to make the choice and oversee the work. PERFECT FOR THE SEA, CONVENIENT FOR THE CITY The nearest beach is a beautiful sandy cove which can be reached in just three minutes by car. It is found in a residential district filled with similar properties and mostly inhabited year-round, while the nearest little village, Brucoli, is less than ten minutes away. For bigger and more varied urban infrastructure and cultural attractions of all kinds, Sicily's second-largest city, Catania, is only half an hour away to the north. This includes the large international airport at Fontanarossa, which offers flights to almost every country in Europe. Whether you're making Villa Orazio your home and jetting back to visit friends, or living further north and wanting to visit without wasting any excess time in travel, it's a perfect, well-connected location.

With a fabulous sandy beach only a kilometre from your front door you'll never grow tired of coastal walks or long sunny days in the sand and surf. The coastline faces south-west, making it the perfect spot from which to enjoy the island's famous sunsets. This district of the region of Agrigento is a quiet, residential one.

Needless to say, this guarantees a bounty of locally produced fruit and vegetables. TWO FULLY INDEPENDENT APARTMENTS Casa Carmelo offers 138m2 of internal space, divided between two floors. Each of these, however, can function as a private apartment. There is a bathroom on each, a kitchenette built into one corner of the upstairs living room and a separate one on the ground floor. An external staircase lets you enter the upper property without disturbing anyone downstairs, and a lockable door at the top of the imposing indoor staircase affords privacy to both halves of the property. The rest of the ground floor is a large living room measuring about 50m2, which the current owners have made use of as a studio space, with a double bed under the stairs. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, so even if you don't plan to do this you can sleep six in comfort, even without adding sofa beds in either of the living rooms. The ground floor enjoys a shaded veranda directly outside the front entrance, while anyone staying upstairs will love the ample balcony with its partial sea view away to the south. The garden of Casa Carmelo is spacious and well-maintained, and the whole property is in excellent condition. The windows are new, with mosquito blinds and external blackout shutters, and there are air conditioning units in all of the rooms. A REGION FILLED WITH TREASURES Anyone familiar with Sicily will know that Agrigento is primarily famous for the 'Valley of the Temples', a huge archaeological complex that is home to the remains of the city of the Greek city of Akragas. The vast temples and other remains found there are one of the most important sites for ancient history to be found anywhere in Europe. The site begins just fifteen minutes' drive from Casa Carmelo. Only a little further up the road is the beautiful white cliff known as the 'Scala dei Turchi', or the Turkish Steps. With its pristine strata glistening against the deep blue sea by day, or reflecting the colours of the sunset as dusk falls, this is an unmissable sight that will never fail to enthral visitors.
