Appartamento Andrea - Palermo Completely renovated and largely furnished, Appartamento Andrea is a spacious three-bedroom property on the third and penultimate floor of an elegant palazzo in central Palermo. The Teatro Massimo, the old town and the city's new marina are all an easy stroll away. Three Bedrooms and Two Balconies The apartment has two entrances, one from the shared stairwell and one leading straight from the recently installed elevator into the kitchen. This is a generous room, with space for a large dining table, and it opens into the first of three bright bedrooms. Two of these have little balconies overlooking the street, while the third faces an inner courtyard and has its own en-suite bathroom. Traditional vaulted ceilings, fine floors and mosaic tiling in the bathroom lend the interiors real Sicilian charm, and the palazzo's chequerboard lobby makes a lovely first impression. The renovation has delivered new electrics and plumbing, double glazing and independent gas heating, and service charges are a very modest €60 or so a month. From Successful B&B to Spacious Family Home The owners ran the apartment as a B&B until recently, with very satisfactory occupancy all year round. Our sister company Solemar Sicilia can manage holiday lets for you, and the only improvement we would suggest is air conditioning for summer guests. If you are relocating, the first bedroom could easily become a lounge beside the kitchen, leaving two large bedrooms and two bathrooms for comfortable family life. Living at the Heart of Sicily's Capital Via Francesco Bentivegna is a quiet residential street with the regenerated Molo Trapezoidale marina at one end and Via Maqueda, the city's pedestrianised social hub, at the other. The opera house is close by, as is Politeama rail station, and the airport is roughly half an hour by car. Whether you want a stylish place to live or a turnkey holiday let, Appartamento Andrea offers generous space and real character at a prime central address. It is a fine way to buy into a city that keeps on rising.

Project Tangi - Valderice Overlooking the Egadi Islands from the hills outside Trapani, Rudere Tangi is an old farmhouse ready to be rebuilt as a luxury villa with a pool. The vendor designed the villa for themselves, but has had to pass the project on. Build your own Luxury Villa outside Trapani The vendor's design sets much of a three-bedroom villa of almost 250m2 into the hillside, beneath a long, low farmhouse rebuilt in traditional style. Two sunken courtyards link a lounge, master suite and large terrace on the ground floor with an open-plan lounge, dining space and kitchen, two bedrooms and a pool terrace below. Erice and the temple at Segesta are both within half an hour, and the beaches of San Vito lo Capo within the hour. This is Sicily at its most authentic: in nearby Dattilo, people drive out from Palermo for the Euro Bar's cannoli, filled to order with fresh sheep's ricotta. Trapani's airport is about 35 minutes away and Palermo's around an hour. Nearly 9,000m2 of Countryside Rolling Down Towards the Egadi Islands The land falls gently away to the west, so the sun sets over the sea, and four centuries-old olive trees stand beside the old farmhouse. Wheat and fodder have always grown here, and there is room to plant vines or an orchard. Materials reclaimed from the farmhouse can be reused to give the villa real character. From First Permit to Finished Villa You can manage the build yourself and customise every detail, or hand the whole project to us. We are the only agency in Sicily to offer full project management across all our listings, coordinating trusted local engineers and craftspeople and keeping your budget on track. The vendor has already covered the design fees, and the costs of reaching building permission are clearly estimated. With the land offered at a modest price, most of your budget can go into creating a luxury home in a beautiful corner of western Sicily.

Twin Balconies with Glimpses of the Sea French windows lead from the living room onto a south-east-facing balcony, which also connects to the master bedroom and is deep enough for a small table and chairs. On the other side, the kitchen balcony looks north-west, with a distant view of the water between the village rooftops. With windows on both sides, every room is bright and the whole flat is well ventilated with the option to let fresh air pass right through at any time of year. An Idyllic Stop between Palermo and Cefalù Porticello is a charming little fishing village lived in all year round, with daily catches landed at the harbour, friendly family-run restaurants and the lovely cove of Sant'Elia close by. Shops, bars and supermarkets are a short stroll away and the beach is nearby. Trains from neighbouring Santa Flavia reach central Palermo in about twenty minutes, making the apartment practical for commuting, and Cefalù is under an hour east. The airport is about 50km away. Spacious, well kept and great value for a home of this size, Appartamento Leonardo would suit a family relocating to Sicily just as well as a buyer looking for a holiday home that can pay its way.

A laundry room, air conditioning and central heating add to the comfort. Views over the Madonie Hills A long balcony runs off the lounge with beautiful countryside views, and two of the bedrooms have marble balconies of their own. This is a very green corner of town, perfect for evening drinks outdoors. Beyond the balconies, the Madonie Natural Park is a UNESCO Global Geopark of olive groves, woodland and peaks rising to nearly 2,000m. You can walk, cycle or ride through it for most of the year, ski at Piano Battaglia in winter and stop for lunch in pretty villages such as Gratteri. One of Sicily's Most Unexpectedly International Villages Collesano is home to a warm international community, with neighbours from across Europe and North America. One French resident has even been asked to stand for the local council, and a Swiss owner has an apartment on the main piazza. The town is also famous for the Targa Florio motor race and its handmade majolica. The high street, a supermarket and a school are all a few minutes away on foot, the beaches of Cefalù are about thirty minutes' drive and Palermo is an hour away. Whether you want a family home at a very approachable price or a comfortable second home in the sun, this is an apartment that is easy to fall for.

Plot Francesco - Castellammare del Golfo Crowning a hillside above the Gulf of Castellammare, Plot Francesco is a magnificent 4,100m2 estate near exclusive Scopello, where the ruins of an old stone farmhouse are ready to be reborn. Its spectacular sea view and elegant plans for a luxury villa make it an exceptional opportunity in western Sicily. Build a 220m2 Stone Villa above Scopello The vendor's beautiful plans show how a stylish three-bedroom villa will rise from the old farmhouse, its historic stone walls set off by wide windows and light-filled rooms. You will love the 90m2 of open living space, where an island kitchen and dining room flow into a superb lounge framing the view. Each double bedroom will enjoy an en suite, with a twin-basin family bathroom for guests. Build it with your own team, or let our project management service deliver it turnkey, with every finish chosen by you and none of the stress. The fact that the project qualifies as a renovation means that the planning consent process will be far quicker and cheaper than a new build. Swim with the Gulf of Castellammare at Your Feet Set in front of the villa, the 8 x 4m pool and its 40m2 sun deck will be the backdrop to long, lazy afternoons and evening aperitifs with friends. The east-facing hillside catches glorious morning sun, while fencing and an automatic gate will keep the estate entirely private. Sicily's Most Beautiful Coastal Nature Reserve Scopello, with its iconic sea stacks and historic tuna fishery, is a short drive away, and just beyond it the Zingaro reserve offers secluded coves and spectacular coastal trails. Castellammare del Golfo has a charming marina, and east of town sandy beaches stretch for nearly twenty kilometres. With the cities of Palermo and Trapani, each with its own international airport, under an hour away, Plot Francesco is as practical as it is beautiful. The same easy connections would make it a superb luxury holiday let for the weeks you spend away. Buy the estate to develop yourself or have your villa delivered ready to enjoy, and own something truly exceptional in one of Sicily's most captivating landscapes.

Plot Pietro - Mongerbino On the prestigious Mongerbino coast just outside Aspra, Plot Pietro is over three and a half thousand square metres of building land. Its finest feature is a spectacular view across the Gulf of Palermo, where the sun sets over the water. Olive and Lemon-filled Terraces with Panoramic Sea Views The land is laid out in helpful terraces along a west-facing hillside, with the sea a few hundred metres away. Olive and lemon trees grow along the terraces, and the estate also includes two Second World War bunkers and a characterful old building. Mains water, electricity and sewerage are all connected, together with fibre-optic broadband. With these essentials in place, you can concentrate on designing the house itself. An Ideal Spot for a Private Pool The current owner bought the land with a valid permit for a house of around 130m2 but never began work. A new building permit will be needed at a cost of around €15,000. We think a two-level home with a raised pool would make the most of the slope. Good quality construction costs in the region of €2,500 per square metre, though every budget depends on your tastes and materials. Our project management team can oversee everything on your behalf, from the planning application to the final certification. A Solid Investment Among the Luxury Villas and Secluded Coves of Mongerbino Glamorous and exclusive, Mongerbino has been a favourite with wealthy Palermo families for generations. Its headland is lined with luxury villas, and hidden coves of crystal clear water run along the shore. The small beach at Sarello is at the end of the road, and Aspra's shops and morning fish market are a short walk away. Bagheria station is five minutes by car, with trains into Palermo in under twenty minutes, and the airport is a 45-minute drive. It would make a beautiful family home, and a prestige address in this sought-after corner of the province should hold its value very well.

Villa Perla - Mondello Close to the beach but on a quiet, leafy street, Mondello Villa with Pool is a detached family home in Partanna Mondello, on the edge of Palermo. Its private pool, generous rooms and 850m2 plot make it a superb base for a luxury renovation. Four Bedrooms Across 445m2 of Space on Three Floors Inside, the villa has the style of an elegant 1970s residence, with solid hardwood parquet, a broad wooden staircase, fine woodwork and a vast reception room with an open fireplace. A separate TV room, a kitchen with its original steel units and a cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the master suite has a large built-in wardrobe, a balcony-terrace and a very spacious bathroom. Two further double bedrooms share a second bathroom, while the bright semi-basement holds a fourth bedroom, a living room and a bathroom, ready to become a guest apartment. Cool Off in a 12m Private Pool The pool is surrounded by terracotta paving, flowerbeds and greenery, with a deep end for confident swimmers. Lower down, a masonry barbecue area makes a lovely spot for long summer evenings with family and friends. Above it all, the huge roof terrace looks across the garden and pool to Monte Pellegrino. It could become a stunning solarium or open-air lounge. The Quiet Side of Palermo's Beloved Beach Neighbourhood The beach is five minutes away by car and the airport less than twenty, with a train station nearby for direct connections into central Palermo. Parking on this peaceful street is easy, and the villa is surrounded by greenery on every side. The villa is lived in and fully functional, but needs renovating and is sold unfurnished. Its value lies in a combination of space, privacy, pool and position that a thoughtful renovation will turn into a prestigious home near the sea.

Living on a Two-Sided Balcony The corner balcony runs along two sides of the apartment, looking towards the hills on one side and over greenery on the other. Deep enough for a breakfast table and comfortable seating, it opens off the lounge and both bedrooms. At one end, an enclosed utility room holds the washing machine, a laundry sink and shelving. Downstairs, a small private garden planted with ornamental flowerbeds is a pleasant patch of green to call your own. It is also a handy place to park a bike or scooter. Between the Nebrodi and the Aeolians The broad, sandy beach is about a 500m from home and the nearest supermarket around 600m, while Capo d'Orlando's shops and restaurants stay open all year. The modern marina, 5km away, has over 550 berths and excursions to the Aeolian Islands. Cefalù, Tindari and the Nebrodi Park make lovely day trips, and trains run direct to Palermo and Messina. For a couple or small family, this would be an exceptionally affordable first home by the sea. As a second home, it is furnished, in excellent condition and ready whenever you are.

There are no removal vans or showroom visits to plan, just a beautifully finished home ready to enjoy. Outside, a small garden wraps around the villa, with terraces for long, sunny afternoons and a raised pool framed in wood-effect decking. The private parking space inside the property is a real asset in July and August. Steps from Mondello's Famous Sands Mondello is Palermo's iconic beach, with warm, shallow water that is perfect for families and a glamorous seafront lined with Liberty villas. The beach is less than 200m away, with restaurants, cafés and shops in the village centre close by. Central Palermo is about 20 minutes by car and the international airport around 25. Already managed as a holiday let, the villa can generate up to around €80,000 a year in gross turnover. Seafront villas in Mondello can run into the millions. Villa Paolino offers the same village and lifestyle for a fraction of that, whether you see it as a holiday home, an investment or both.

Plot Giuseppe - Collesano Plot Giuseppe is a 12,296 m2 plot near Collesano, with centuries-old olive trees, open hill views and an asphalt road reaching the entrance gate. It offers a rural setting within reach of Sicily’s north coast, Collesano and Campofelice di Roccella. AN ESTABLISHED OLIVE GROVE The hillside land lies approximately 390–430 metres above sea level and includes olive, almond and other fruit trees. There is no direct sea view. An internal driveway would need to be created. A possible electricity connection requires agreement with the network operator; water supply is envisaged through a well, subject to investigation. BUILDING POTENTIAL Approximately 7,847 m2 is agricultural land and 4,449 m2 falls within C3 seasonal residential zoning. An initial scenario envisages a house of around 123 m2. This depends on municipal confirmation that the entire plot can be included in the agricultural calculation and that the proposed home meets the relevant requirements. The C3 portion may offer additional potential through an approved subdivision plan, with the qualifying area and arrangements still to be established. SUPPORT FROM PLANNING TO CONSTRUCTION We propose making the purchase offer conditional on obtaining permission for the agreed project, with deadlines and deposit arrangements clearly defined. Design and application costs would remain separate. Our team can coordinate local professionals and support the planning and construction process.

Casa Aldo - Cefalù Steps from Cefalù's UNESCO-listed cathedral, Casa Aldo is a characterful old town home with around 95m2 of space. This is divided between the furnished and immediately usable apartment upstairs and a storeroom underneath. At the Heart of Romantic Cefalù Cefalù has a magic that lingers long in the memory of anyone who visits. Cobbled Medieval lanes, a golden beach and an Arab-Norman cathedral beneath the great rock of La Rocca. Despite its fame, it has kept its authentic Sicilian character, and many families have lived in the same streets for generations. Casa Aldo is right in the middle of it all. The cathedral square is just a few steps away and the Mandralisca Museum is a few doors along. At the bottom of the road is the old town beach seen in the Oscar-winning film Cinema Paradiso. Cosy, Ready-to-use First-Floor Apartment A shared staircase leads to the apartment, where you enter a cosy kitchen with local printed tiles behind the sink. The bathroom has a box shower, and the living room opens beneath a lovely vaulted ceiling, with a wooden bookshelf set into a stone-framed recess. Upstairs, a mezzanine area furnished with a single bed leads to an upper level registered as attic space, currently furnished with a double bed. The windows mainly face quiet courtyards. Furnished and already in use, the apartment would also make an appealing holiday let. Atmospheric Stone-Arched Storeroom Directly below, a 40m2 storeroom with its own entrance is framed by ancient stone arches and currently furnished with a sitting area, kitchen, sleeping area and small bathroom. It remains registered for storage use. Limited openings and natural light may prevent residential conversion, so this should not be assumed. A possible internal staircase and associated technical paperwork are estimated at around €15,000, subject to feasibility and the relevant permissions; a connection would not automatically change the storeroom's permitted use. A full refurbishment of both units is estimated at around €65,000. The property's volume and internal layout have been reviewed with independent technical professionals and are consistent with the available documentation. Casa Aldo would suit a buyer seeking a romantic pied-à-terre in a prestigious location, with scope to enhance its historic features and comfort.

Casa Vanessa - Gratteri Just outside the Madonie village of Gratteri, Casa Vanessa is a two-bedroom country house with its own olive grove. Its panoramic terrace looks out over green hills and mountain peaks. Two Bedrooms, Kitchen-Living Room and a 25m2 Outbuilding The main house has a living room with kitchen of about 20m2, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The roofs are finished, and the aluminium double-glazed windows have shutters and built-in mosquito screens. Inside, the walls, floors and some of the systems are still to be completed. The separate outbuilding is further along, with plastered walls, laid floors and its systems installed. The owners have planned a roof linking the two buildings, which would give you a sheltered outdoor space between them. Between Olive Terraces and the Madonie Peaks The terraced land below the house holds about thirty olive trees, which produced roughly 70kg of oil last year. Figs, prickly pears, pears, peaches, plums and cherries grow here too, and the land extends up the hillside beyond the current fence. A quiet, level lane leads into Gratteri, where shops, bars and a pharmacy are open all year. Cefalù and the beach at Gorgo Lungo are about half an hour away. Palermo airport is around 90 minutes away and the ski slopes of Piano Battaglia lie just to the south. Put the Finishing Touches in Your Own Style Finishing a house is a challenge, but it is also the most creative way to own one, and here the heavy lifting is already done. You choose the floors, tiles and colours, and the concrete terrace under a large walnut tree could be paved as an outdoor dining room for family or holiday guests. All the work together is estimated at around €60,000. That means you could buy and finish Casa Vanessa for under €200,000, giving you a mid-priced holiday home with estimated letting income of around €20,000 a year. It would also make an affordable permanent home in beautiful countryside. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Sabrina - Castroreale Casa Sabrina is a renovated village house in the historic centre of Castroreale, offering panoramic sea and mountain views, a private garage and several outdoor spaces across four levels. Panoramic Roof Terrace and Aeolian Views The standout feature is the large roof terrace, a genuinely usable outdoor space with room for dining, relaxing or sunbathing. From here, the view stretches across the surrounding mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the Aeolian Islands clearly visible on clear days and the Tindari and Marinello area appearing further along the coast. A second terrace sits on the first floor, alongside smaller balconies on the lower levels, giving the house generous outdoor space for a property in the centre of a historic hill town. Renovated for Comfortable Year-Round Living Casa Sabrina was fully renovated between 2008 and 2009 and is equipped for permanent use rather than simply as a seasonal retreat. The house has mains gas heating, air conditioning, direct municipal water, public sewerage, double glazing and certified systems. The main living level includes an open-plan kitchen and dining room with a functioning masonry fireplace, a compact guest room or study, and a bathroom. Upstairs are the principal double bedroom, a second bathroom, a dedicated laundry room and a separate sitting room with an exposed timber ceiling. Private Garage in the Historic Centre At street level, the private garage has space for one car, with additional room for bicycles, motorbikes or storage, and connects internally to the house. Two further ancillary rooms on the same level provide useful cellar, storage or service space. Castroreale’s main square and everyday amenities are only a few minutes away on foot, while Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto is around 17 minutes away and Milazzo port approximately 33 minutes. The coast can be reached in under half an hour, making Casa Sabrina equally suitable as a permanent home, second residence or possible holiday rental.

Villa Nancy - Sant'Agata di Militello Villa Nancy is a substantial sea-view villa in Sicily, combining around 310m2 of living space with panoramic coastal views, a productive olive grove and the flexibility of three distinct levels. Space, Comfort and Panoramic Views The main residential accommodation is spread across the ground and first floors, with a large living and dining room, exposed fireplace, separate kitchen, four principal bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a flexible additional room downstairs. A private lift links the two floors, while balconies and terraces make the most of the open views across the countryside and towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. Central heating, air conditioning and double glazing make the villa practical for year-round living. A Genuine Sicilian Country Estate The main sale includes around 1.2 hectares of fenced land with at least 100 olive trees, alongside vines, lemons, oranges and peaches. Additional adjoining olive-grove land is available by negotiation, potentially expanding the estate to around 4.2 hectares. Whether you want to produce your own olive oil, enjoy greater privacy or simply have room to breathe, this is much more than a villa with a garden. Flexible Living Near Coast and Mountains Below the main house, around 60m2 of C/2 storage space has been finished with a large reception area, fitted kitchen, private room with en-suite bathroom and direct outdoor access, giving the property valuable flexibility for guests, staff or extended family. Sant’Agata di Militello is around eleven minutes away by car, with beaches, shops, hospital, station and port all close at hand, while the Nebrodi mountains rise just inland. Check out the full listing on our website for more information about Villa Nancy.

Casa Max - Lascari Casa Max is an unfinished two-storey stone country house near Lascari, offering around 94m2 of internal space, 1.7 hectares of land and open views across the Sicilian countryside towards the sea. An Unfinished Stone Country House The exterior already has the character of a traditional Sicilian country home, with exposed stone walls and a compact two-level structure. Inside, however, the property remains largely unfinished, giving the future owner considerable freedom over finishes, fittings and the overall style of the completed house. An existing project provides for a living room, kitchen with dining area, two bedrooms and a bathroom, together with outdoor space and a small upper terrace. The internal staircase, floors and basic divisions are already present, while the electrical and plumbing systems, along with the other services, still need to be completed. 1.7 Hectares with Olive Trees and Sea Views Around the house are approximately 1.7 hectares of agricultural land containing around twenty olive trees, along with almond, orange and lemon trees and other Mediterranean vegetation. The elevated rural setting gives broad views over the surrounding countryside, with the sea clearly visible towards the northern coast. The size of the land also creates scope for landscaped outdoor living areas and dedicated parking. Subject to the relevant permissions, further additions such as a veranda, photovoltaic system or swimming pool may also be possible. Country Living Close to Cefalù Despite its rural setting, Casa Max is only around five minutes by car from Lascari, with the nearest beach approximately twelve minutes away and Cefalù around 21 minutes. Provision exists for reconnection to the electricity grid, while a 10,000-litre cistern is already present. The property is not connected to municipal water or sewerage, so independent water and wastewater systems will need to form part of the completion project. For buyers looking to create a personalised Sicilian country home rather than inherit someone else’s renovation choices, Casa Max offers an unusually flexible starting point.

Villetta Ippocampo - Mongerbino A rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in one of northern Sicily’s most picturesque coastal settings, with panoramic sea views, 2,379 m2 of land and two registered structures providing the basis for reconstruction. Panoramic Views over Capo Zafferano Set on the slopes of Monte Catalfano, Villetta Ippocampo enjoys a sweeping 180° view across the Mediterranean towards Capo Zafferano. The land rises gently across a series of terraces planted with olive, lemon and fig trees, prickly pears and other Mediterranean vegetation. Both registered structures are situated in elevated positions within the plot and benefit from the coastal setting. Despite its natural surroundings, the property is well connected. Aspra is around eight minutes’ drive away, Bagheria approximately fifteen minutes and Palermo around thirty-three. Spiaggia dei Francesi can be reached in about two minutes by car or seventeen minutes on foot. Two Listed Buildings with Reconstruction Potential The property comprises two existing registered buildings with a combined area of approximately 75m2. The larger building measures around 55m2 and includes an existing terrace with a simple pergola structure, whilst the second measures approximately 20m2 and is situated higher up the hillside. Both require substantial reconstruction, but their registered status provides the basis for a new project of up to 75m2 of covered space, subject to the necessary technical and planning approvals. A Project to Create from the Ground Up The site offers the opportunity to create a completely personalised home centred around its strongest features: the panoramic sea views, terraced landscape and outdoor setting. Terraces and pergolas may also form part of the finished property, whilst the exact layout will depend on the approved architectural plans. With vehicle access already in place and able to assist with project and works management, Villetta Ippocampo is an excellent option for anyone looking to create a distinctive permanent residence or holiday home near Palermo.

Casa Gisella - Caltavuturo Casa Gisella is a compact three-level home in central Caltavuturo, offering two flexible bedrooms, two balconies, mountain views and a practical base for enjoying both village life and the Madonie landscape. Traditional Layout, Flexible Living The house is arranged over three floors, with a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor, a small WC beneath the stairs, and a traditional fireplace adding character to the main living space. The first floor contains a large room currently arranged as a sitting room but suitable as a second bedroom, with two doors opening onto a wrap-around balcony. A narrow ancillary room provides useful storage and could potentially be adapted as a laundry or utility area. The principal bedroom occupies most of the top floor, with air conditioning, a recently renovated bathroom and access via a small landing to another wrap-around balcony with the best views in the house. Mountain Views from the Heart of Town Casa Gisella sits right in the centre of Caltavuturo, with cafés, shops, a pharmacy, bakery and restaurants all within a few minutes’ walk. The Rocca di Sciara rises directly above the town, with the start of the walking trail around fifteen minutes away on foot. Terravecchia Castle is even closer, while the wider Madonie landscape is always close at hand. Campofelice di Roccella and the coast are around 39 minutes away by car, while Cefalù can be reached in just under an hour. Habitable Now, with Scope to Improve The house is currently habitable, with technical and cosmetic updating recommended rather than wholesale restoration. The electrical system should be renewed, the plumbing reviewed, and old staining from a resolved leak needs redecorating. The windows and façade can be retained for a simpler, lower-cost approach, or upgraded as part of a fuller refurbishment. The property does not currently have the Italian certificate confirming formal approval for occupation, but the building itself has been legally regularised through retrospective building approval.

Villa Gargallo - Priolo Gargallo Villa Gargallo is a character-filled historic villa in central Priolo Gargallo, offering original frescoes, period floors, a private courtyard and a large roof terrace for buyers ready to take on a substantial restoration project. Historic Character Worth Preserving Behind the elegant stone façade, the villa retains many of the features that make older Sicilian homes so distinctive. High ceilings, original frescoes, decorated floors and traditional doors survive throughout the property, while the principal reception room stands out with its elaborate painted ceiling and two balconies overlooking the street. The accommodation is arranged on one main level, with four large rooms presented as bedrooms, a central corridor, former kitchen, bathroom and additional flexible space. The house requires comprehensive renovation, including work to the roof, damp and infiltration, plumbing, electrics and window frames. Private Outdoor Space in the Centre of Town At the rear, a private courtyard provides valuable outdoor space away from the street, while a spiral staircase leads to a substantial roof terrace extending across the building. The terrace requires restoration and safety improvements but has the potential to become one of the villa’s strongest features. Villa Gargallo is also protected by the Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali, helping to preserve the historic and artistic character that gives the property its identity. A Serious Project with Strong Potential We estimate that a conservative restoration will require a minimum investment of around €200,000. Once restored, the villa could become an impressive four-bedroom private residence or, subject to the necessary permissions, a boutique B&B, guesthouse or office space. Priolo Gargallo’s centre is on the doorstep, while Syracuse, Ortigia, beaches, nature reserves and Catania airport are all within easy driving distance.

Plot Romolo - Cattolica Eraclea Open, panoramic and ten minutes from the sea, Plot Romolo covers more than 13,000 m2 of buildable land near Cattolica Eraclea. The setting is Sicily's quiet south-west coast, in the province of Agrigento. A House of 120 to 130 m2 Facing the Sea The plot carries a building entitlement under Sicily's rules for agricultural land. This allows a home of roughly 120 to 130 m2 plus rural outbuildings tied to the use of the ground. The exact size and design must be confirmed by a technician, who will check the local rules, restrictions and permits. The ground is mostly level or gently sloping, at around 140 metres above sea level, facing south and west. A single-storey house with wide openings and shaded verandas would make the most of the sea view. There would be space left over for a Mediterranean garden, cultivated areas and, where authorised, a pool. Setting up the Amenities An internal track is already traced and follows the natural shape of the land. The approach runs along a good state road, with only a short unsurfaced stretch at the end. Mains electricity is close by thanks to a neighbouring house, and if you want to stay green there is obviously more than enough land to install an independent photovoltaic system. Water can come from a well, subject to permits, or a tanker-filled cistern of the kind widely used on rural properties. Drainage would use an approved independent system. The Beach of Eraclea Minoa and the Platani Nature Reserve The beach and pine wood at Eraclea Minoa are about ten minutes by car. The sands run beneath the white cliffs of Capo Bianco and the archaeological area of the ancient Greek town. The nature reserve at the mouth of the River Platani adds dunes and quiet shoreline. Cattolica Eraclea, 10 to 15 minutes away, covers daily services. Sciacca is around 35 minutes and Agrigento with its Valley of the Temples about 40. The airports at Palermo and Trapani are each roughly two and a quarter hours. Land of this size with a sea view, a workable gradient and services within reach is the raw material for a made-to-measure home. Plot Romolo is priced to leave the bulk of a project budget for the build itself. We would be glad to talk through what is possible.

Palermo and Cefalù Within Easy Reach The location is one of Casa Carmela’s strongest advantages. Termini Imerese railway station is only a three-minute walk away, with trains reaching Palermo in around 33 minutes and Cefalù in about 27. Closer to home, shops and supermarkets are just minutes away, while the port and seafront can be reached on foot. Medieval Caccamo and the Madonie mountains are also within easy reach for days in the Sicilian countryside. Low-Maintenance Living with Plenty of Potential Annual condominium fees are around €420, helping to keep ownership costs low, while qualifying buyers may also benefit from Italy’s favourable first-home tax treatment. The apartment is ready to enjoy immediately, but anyone wanting a more contemporary layout could open the kitchen towards the living room to create a larger open-plan space. Whether used as a first home in Sicily, an easy second-home purchase or a rental investment, Casa Carmela offers flexibility without the usual renovation headaches.
