Houses/Villas for sale in Sicily, Italy

"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.

Casa Brigitte - Palma di Montechiaro Just 800m from the coast and with convenient access to some of Sicily's finest beaches, Casa Brigitte is a welcoming family home that's perfect for unforgettable long summers with the kids or grandchildren. THREE-BEDROOM VILLA WITH VARIED OUTDOOR SPACES Built on two floors connected by an external staircase, this roomy home would work for a family of any age. The three bedrooms are all big enough for either double or twin beds, and two of them in particular are really standout spaces. There is a bathroom with a walk-in shower. The larger bedrooms each have an air conditioning unit that can heat as well as cool the spaces. In addition, they both have French windows, opening onto a balcony and a covered veranda, respectively. Both of these face South and you can see the sea in the middle-distance. Downstairs, a kitchen-diner with a modern suite of cupboard, worktop and fixtures, leads to another bathroom, also with a shower. The door here opens onto a covered terrace that's the full width of the house and perfect for eating meals al fresco. A little way up the road are a pair of smaller plots, also included in the sale. One of these is a tree-filled orchard, 740m2 in size and planted with a mix of lemons and olives. The other is currently empty but at 250m2 has some potential if you can find the right use for it. RECENTLY RENOVATED WITH NO EXTRA BUDGET NEEDED The current owners have been living in and gradually renovating Casa Brigitte over time to a point where it's now in excellent condition. The windows are in aluminium with iron shutters, the bathrooms and kitchen are modern and the estate benefits greatly from a 30,000 litre water tank, guaranteeing it against periods of water shortage. A TRANQUIL STRETCH OF SICILY'S SOUTH COAST, WITH AMAZING BEACHES AROUND THE CORNER Casa Brigitte is only half an hour from the provincial capital of Agrigento, famous for its “Valley of the Temples”, one of the best-preserved collections of ancient architecture anywhere in the Mediterranean. Visitors also flock to the “Scala dei Turchi”, a remarkable outcrop of shock-white cliffs that resemble a giant staircase plunging into the sea. The coast is the real joy of this region, in fact. The little beach community of Lido di Palma exploding into life in the summer months with a pedestrianised seafront and some lively bars and restaurants. You can always find a patch of fine sand or a sunny diving platform and there's entertainment – both man-made and natural – for all the family.

The former is extremely spacious, with 3.5 metre ceilings and external terraces on both levels. The living room makes a fantastic first impression, with a feature wall in exposed stone and an open archway into the sunny dining room. Light and air pass right through these twin spaces thanks to double back doors onto the rear patio, where you will find the swimming pool. Off the dining room is a professional grade kitchen with a walk-in pantry. The sleeping accommodation is ideally configured for the villa's current use as a luxury B&B, with suites comprising a bedroom and bathroom. One, on the ground floor, has a romantic spa bath. Two more, on the first floor, have direct access to the upper terrace, from where you can enjoy a fabulous view of the pool and estate. One of these has been used by the current owners as their own apartment, as it also features a spacious living room. Across the patio is the guest house, also on two floors with a living room downstairs and a sea-view bedroom on the first floor. FABULOUS GROUNDS WITH A SIGNATURE BIODESIGN SWIMMING POOL The terrace and the guest house bedroom both give you a great vantage point from which to take in the 5,000m2 estate which surrounds Casa Balata. The swimming pool is an obvious magnet for the gaze, organically shaped and built without the use of concrete to exist in harmony with its natural surroundings. Its water is enriched by salt hydrolysis and it is cleaned by an easy-to-use robot. Elsewhere in the grounds, you'll find a beautiful array of plants and trees, including dwarf palms, olives and pomegranates. Plenty of succulents and aromatics give colour and sweet fragrances to the gardens and the quiet rural neighbourhood offers a perfect opportunity to disconnect and unwind. A LOCATION AT THE HEART OF SICILY'S HISTORY AND NATURAL BEAUTY Casa Balata is found just a few kilometres from the city of Agrigento, which can be reached in twenty minutes. Closer to home the little towns of Realmonte and Siculiana will provide everything you and your guests might need.

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

Villa delle Palme - Partinico A true luxury property, Villa delle Palme is one of the best examples of a modern villa to be found in the west of Sicily. 250M2 OF STYLISHLY DESIGNED INDOOR SPACE The three-bedroom home has been built on an extra-large scale, with all of the main living spaces as large as you could possibly need. The kitchen-diner is a beautiful 7 x 7 room with a perfectly fitted kitchen, a long breakfast bar and still plenty of space for cupboards and a dining suite. The sun room at the front of the property makes for a unique lounge, with full glazing on three sides giving you the sense of sitting out in the garden. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. The master is especially luxurious, with a vast bedroom overlooking the green lawn to the front of the villa, and a bathroom-cum-dressing room that might genuinely be the size of your first apartment. The layout is completed by a little entrance hall and a pair of store cupboards. AN IRRESISTIBLE PRIVATE POOL Even by the standards of private pools, we think you'd have to agree that this one is an absolute beauty. Given enormous room to breathe in the ample back garden, but served by not one but two nearby pagodas, it's a 120,000 litre gem framed in a nearly white stone that makes the turquoise waters an extraordinary eye-popping colour on a sunny day. The rest of the 5,600m2 garden is no less impressive, with highlights including the row of mature palm trees that run the length of the driveway, the huge expanse of green lawn in sturdy tropical grass and the fascinating variety of ornamental plants which have been around the entire property. A pool house contains all the equipment necessary to take care of the water and the gardens that surround it. NO EXPENSE SPARED TO MAKE A SUSTAINABLE HOME The villa is blessed with direct sunlight from dawn to dusk, and the sellers have taken full advantage of this enviable natural gift. The entire roof has been covered in photovoltaic panels, which combine to generate a huge 16kW of power. There is also a 10kW storage battery, to make sure that as little as possible of what is generated ever goes to waste. There is also an autonomous water supply: a well rises in the back garden and this is used to fill the pool, supply the house and even fill a gigantic 100,000 litre cistern which ensures you against even the longest of dry spells. CONVENIENT FOR BEACH, CITY AND AIRPORT The nearest sandy beach is just a ten minute drive away, and the town of Partinico even closer. With beautiful attractions like the seafront of Castellammare del Golfo, the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, the archaeological site at Segesta and Sicily's largest city, Palermo, all within easy reach, the location of Villa delle Palme could hardly be better. You can reach the nearest airport in just twenty minutes. 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.

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.

Villetta Arcobaleno - San Lorenzo Small but perfectly formed, Villa Arcobaleno is a one-bedroom holiday home in a spacious estate near Noto on Sicily's southern tip. BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED, INSIDE AND OUT Renovation work over the past eight years has turned a characterful but run-down farm cottage into a really lovely modern holiday home. The property has been remade from terracotta tiled floor to insulated roof. There is fine-grained plaster on the wall, and lovely exposed timbers on the ceiling. The terrace has had a fixed veranda added, and the garden has also now got a stone barbecue oven that will keep you well fed for years to come. The natural stone driveway is another lovely touch.

SUPERB LOCATION STEEPED IN NATURAL BEAUTY AND HISTORY The detached home is found at the end of a long country lane that extends into the outer edges of a nature reserve called the Oasi Faunistica di Vendicari. This runs along 10km of south Sicily's Ionian coast, taking in some wonderful sandy beaches and fertile flatlands. Yje mearest beach is just a fifteen minute walk away. If you're a history buff, you'll be charmed by the nearby fishing villages, and dazzled by the Baroque towns of the Val di Noto, right on your doorstep. The collection of architectural treasures has been afforded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2002. VERY STRONG POTENTIAL FOR RENTAL INCOME It's wonderful to know that any time you can fly down to the sunshine, your very own holiday property will be waiting for you. But when life keeps you elsewhere, you can be sure that many others will be queuing up to take advantage of this beautiful property. The current owners have had it listed on Booking.com, AirBnb and various other sites for two years now, and the interest has been through the roof. The villa hit a 9.6 rating on Booking, and many of the reservations for 2024 were returning clients from 2023. Accounts show a profit of around €10,000 for the year, and the friendly couple are very willing to share their materials and insights into the market.
