Casa Franco - Mistretta Surrounded by five hectares of olives and fruit trees, Casa Franco is a two-storey country house of around 180 m2 in the hills above Mistretta, at the end of its own private drive. A 180 m2 House to Renovate The ground floor holds the kitchen, with a brick fireplace in one corner, a large living area and a further room for dining or sleeping, all connecting directly with the terrace outside. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a large central room, with small balconies over the hillside and ceilings of 2.75 metres. The house needs renovation before it meets contemporary standards, but it is a solid base rather than a ruin. An essential refit might cost around €50,000 to €90,000, while a complete refurbishment, including a three-bedroom layout upstairs, could run from €100,000 to €180,000 or more. Five Hectares, a Spring and Two Outbuildings According to the sellers, the olive grove can yield more than 300 litres of oil in a favourable year, with apricots, pears, persimmons and prickly pears growing alongside ornamental planting. A natural spring flows all year round, supported by a 5,000-litre cistern. A stone outbuilding near the house and a former store along the drive could become guest quarters or an independent annexe, subject to the necessary permissions, opening the way to hosting family or small-scale rural tourism. Daily Life in Mistretta, Beach Days at Santo Stefano di Camastra Mistretta's shops, pharmacies, bars and restaurants are a few minutes by car, the coast at Santo Stefano di Camastra is 25 to 30 minutes away and Cefalù about 45. The airports of Palermo and Catania are roughly equidistant from the estate. For buyers who want land, water and privacy on a realistic budget, and the chance to build value through renovation, the whole project adds up here. Contact us to arrange a visit and walk the estate for yourself. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa Antonella - Sciacca With three independent homes and an olive grove, Villa Antonella occupies gated grounds in the coastal countryside of Maragani, a short drive west of Sciacca. It would suit an extended family, a group of friends or a holiday letting investment. Two Apartments, a Cottage and Shared Outdoor Spaces Around 200 square metres of living space are divided between a red-fronted villa, split into two apartments, and a separate white cottage. Each apartment has a kitchen-diner of about 16 square metres, two bedrooms, a bathroom and its own entrance and outdoor space, with double glazing, mosquito screens and air conditioning. The cottage adds an open-plan living room and kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom served by a 300-litre solar thermal system. Between the buildings, a 32 square metre communal kitchen with bathroom fronts a shaded veranda where all three households can eat together, and there is a 20 square metre garage plus parking in the paved courtyard. Solar Power and 22,000 Litres of Water Storage A 6 kW photovoltaic system with around 15 kWh of battery storage supplies all three homes, while mains water is backed by two cisterns totalling roughly 22,000 litres, a serious advantage through the Sicilian summer. Double glazing, shutters and mosquito screens keep the apartments comfortable in every season. Holiday Lettings or One Reunified Villa The sea is 350 metres away and the fenced grounds extend to about 1,700 square metres, with room for a pool in the olive grove subject to consent. As it stands the property can host several families at once, an ideal shape for holiday letting, with Selinunte under half an hour away and Agrigento's Valley of the Temples about an hour and a quarter. The floor plans identify the partition wall dividing the main villa, so a buyer could also recreate a single four-bedroom home with a guest annexe. The price takes account of the work still to do, leaving room in a sensible budget for the transformation. Contact us for plans, photographs and a viewing.

Appartamento Melina - Palermo On the eleventh floor of a well-managed complex in south Palermo, Appartamento Melina is a three-bedroom, 165m2 penthouse with incredible views of the city's rooftops and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the north. Space, Light and a Sociable Floor Plan Windows on both east and west elevations mean the apartment stays bright and airy light throughout the day, with sea-view sunrises on one side and city sunsets on the other. There are three bedrooms, each with its own balcony: one facing the sea, one with a panoramic outlook across the city, and a third with its own dedicated outdoor space. The living room opens onto a long balcony overlooking rooftops and green space, with double exposure ensuring the living areas are never short of natural light. The kitchen-diner, is the pick of the family spaces, a generously sized and versatile hub with a large cooking area at one end and a dining section that can comfortably seat the whole family at the other. There's even room for a comfortable little lounge with sofas and the stylish built-in bookshelves around the archway entrance. A Quiet Address with Excellent Connections Appartamento Melina is on via Santa Maria di Gesù, a calm residential street in Palermo’s Guadagna district, directly opposite a public park. The city centre is five minutes by car. Palermo Guadagna railway station is a fifteen-minute walk, with direct services into central Palermo in about ten minutes. For those who want to leave the city, the ring road gives quick access in all directions: the Capo Zafferano peninsula is about twenty minutes to the east, Mongerbino’s beaches are within easy reach, and Falcone-Borsellino International Airport is approximately twenty minutes by car. Very Well Maintained Communal Spaces The building is made up of four residential blocks around a communal garden. The lift was replaced in the past few months, the roof was fully waterproofed recently, and the communal entrance – marble floors, wood panelling – is in excellent condition. Two private parking spaces with an automatic gate are included. Appartmento Melina can be occupied immediately once furnished. Just five minutes from the centre of one of the Mediterranean’s most fascinating cities, and at an asking price you would never find in similar coastal locations, this is a real value proposition.

Casa Nido - Porticello Tucked into a quiet square just steps from the harbour, Casa Nido is a cosy studio apartment in the fishing village of Porticello. Originally a storage room, this raised ground-floor apartment has been converted into a compact 24m2 home, with a glazed front door that brings natural light in. Stairs lead up to a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed, framed by a second arch in the old Sicilian style. Ornate ironwork of a kind usually found above grand palazzo doorways has been repurposed as a window through this archway, keeping the sleeping area secure while still letting air flow freely. Downstairs, peach-coloured walls and a simple kitchen with gas hobs, a fridge and a washing machine complete a practical, good-looking interior. There are even two small bathrooms, one on each level. Five Minutes from Everything Step outside and the sea is barely 150 metres away, with the village's newly relandscaped seafront park, Piano Stenditore, just two minutes on foot and a sandy beach close by. The harbour's fish stalls, a handful of restaurants and a local bakery cover daily life, and parking is easier to come by here than in most Sicilian harbour villages. A little further along the coast, the old fishing hamlet of Sant'Elia has a pretty cove of its own, while the archaeological park of Solunto and the nature reserve of Monte Catalfano rise above the village. The Baroque town of Bagheria is a short drive inland, the train station is about ten minutes on foot, and from there Palermo is half an hour away and the airport about 45 minutes by car. A Canvas to Make Your Own Priced to reflect its size and its potential, Casa Nido is one of the most affordable ways to gain a foothold in the Sicilian property market, without any need to renovate or invest further. We see potential in simplifying the layout by removing one of the two bathrooms, and the downstairs could use some decorative touches. It is, however, ready for immediate use.

Villa Maurice - Trabia With panoramic Tyrrhenian views, Casa Maurice is a two-apartment house in the hills above San Nicola l’Arena, on Sicily’s north coast. Two Independent Apartments Each floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open living, dining and kitchen area, with grey-toned modern tiling throughout and a window in every room. The upper flat opens onto a terrace with sea views and its own staircase down to the parking area. The lower flat, recently modernised, has a spacious glass shower enclosure in its bathroom. Outside, sturdy gates lead into a fully fenced garden planted with olive and fruit trees, with parking close to the house. Peaceful Countryside that's Convenient for Palermo and Cefalù San Nicola l’Arena, a few minutes downhill, has supermarkets, restaurants, a marina and a morning fish market, along with its own train station. From there, Palermo and Cefalù are both about half an hour away, and Palermo’s international airport is around 45 minutes by car. The Madonie mountains and the Monte Catalfano Nature Park are close by for hiking. Towards Palermo, the coast is lined with further coves around Altavilla Milicia and Mongerbino. The Perfect Spot for a Sea-view Infinity Pool Only minor cosmetic work is needed, and a gently sloping garden with a sea view leaves scope for an infinity pool, alongside the option of upgraded heating and solar power. Split living, a family base or a partial rental income are all realistic here, on a stretch of coast where fully renovated houses tend to command notably higher prices.

Casetta Chiara - Sant' Agata Di Militello Looking out towards the Aeolian Islands from a quiet hillside lane, Casetta Chiara is a stone cottage above Sant'Agata di Militello, on Sicily's northern Nebrodi coast. A View that Rewards the Climb At close to 480 metres above sea level and under three kilometres from the coast, the cottage looks north over the Tyrrhenian Sea towards the Aeolian Islands, sharp and clear on the brightest days and a fixture of the view all year round. Around the house there is little but country lanes, light woodland and open meadow, an easy place to feel properly removed from the crowds. A Practical One-Bedroom Retreat A driveway climbs from the lane to a terraced front garden, where a traditional oven is built into the cottage's stone wall, ready to be brought back to life as a wood-fired barbecue or replaced with a small outdoor kitchen. Inside, the larger room has a dual aspect and will fill with light once the west-facing window is unshuttered, while the smaller room next door opens straight onto the garden, sea view included. A hidden door in the living room leads through to a bathroom space, and the exposed timber beams overhead are worth keeping on show. Renovate on a Modest Budget The solid stone walls keep the rooms naturally cool in summer and cosy in winter. The roof has recently been redone, but kept on show, perfectly in keeping with the rustic feel of the property. Electrics, plumbing and drainage will be the three biggest challenges to address, with the site not currently connected to the municipal main. However, a pipe passes nearby, so connecting to it will not be a complicated task. A septic tank will be needed, too, but we suggest a realistic budget to turn this into a charming and fully habitable retreat would only be around €40,000. Easy Reach, Far From the Crowds Sant'Agata di Militello, with its shops, cafes and services, is a short way downhill. Cefalù is under an hour's drive away, and Messina and Milazzo, both within around 80 minutes, offer ferries to the mainland and boats out to the Aeolian Islands themselves. Catania and Palermo airports are roughly equidistant, and Mount Etna begins to rise just 30 kilometres to the south.

Villa Marco - Cefalù Set on a hillside that rises steeply from the Tyrrhenian shore, Villa Marco is a traditional stone villa just ten minutes from the beach and old town of Cefalù. It's completely detached from the summer crowds, while the iconic seafront stands just ten minutes away. Pool, Pergola and Panorama Positioned 350 metres above sea level and under a kilometre inland, Villa Marco enjoys stunning views and has been designed to take full advantage of them. Many of its best spaces are outdoors, including the large panoramic terrace, partly shaded by a bamboo pergola and paved in traditional Sicilian terracotta. An above-ground pool on a raised wooden deck is equally spectacular, with both areas orientated towards the turquoise expanse of Tyrrhenian Sea below. The view takes in the famous Rocca of Cefalù and, on clear days, the silhouettes of the volcanic Aeolian Islands, fifty miles out to sea. Everything is framed by a spacious 3,600m2 of beautiful natural grounds. Deceptively Modern in Traditional Stone Although the villa actually dates back only to the 1990s, its architecture and choice of materials are deeply rooted in the traditions of the region. Exposed wooden beams, natural stone walls, hand-painted traditional tiles in the masonry kitchen and a large fireplace in the living room give the interior a character that takes decades to acquire naturally. An adjacent stone outbuilding adds an outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired oven, a utility room and overflow sleeping space. Cefalù, Ten Minutes Downhill Cefalù draws visitors from across northern Europe throughout an extended summer season, and its pull only grows in autumn and spring when the crowds have gone but the weather remains beautiful. For a property of this character, with a pool and Tyrrhenian views, demand is consistent and the location is one that rarely needs explaining to prospective guests. Villa Marco is offered for sale fully furnished and all paperwork in order, making the path from purchase to occupancy or rental use a fabulously short one. There is also room to invest and add sleeping capacity. Although currently there is only one bedroom, we have identified two cost-effective routes to adding a second on a modest budget. For more on this and an extended insight into everything Villa Marco has to offer, take a look at the full listing on our site.

Appartamento Filippo II - Marina di Caronia A ground-floor flat with two terraces and two bedrooms, Appartamento Filippo II is a fully furnished and immediately liveable apartment in the quiet seafront town of Marina di Caronia, on Sicily’s northern Tyrrhenian coast. TWO TERRACES, TWO WAYS TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS The sea-view terrace at the front of the property faces east across the bay and is ideal for sunbathing and breakfast in the morning light. A long corridor connects it to a second terrace that opens directly from the kitchen, a more sheltered spot suited to outdoor lunches and evenings outside. The interior covers around 55m2 net, arranged as a kitchen-diner of 17m2, a twin bedroom, a 16m2 master double with a view onto the courtyard, a hallway and a bathroom with a modern cubicle shower. The washing machine is already plumbed in. Both entrances are from Via Vespucci. SOLD FURNISHED AND READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE Appartamento Filippo II is sold fully furnished and fitted with double-glazed PVC windows, air conditioning in every room, a 1,000-litre water cistern and a gas boiler for hot water. Nothing needs to be budgeted beyond the purchase price. The apartment does not form part of the building’s condominium arrangement, which means no service charges and a straightforward ownership structure. A QUIET CORNER OF SICILY’S NORTHERN COAST Marina di Caronia is at the foot of the Nebrodi mountains, with a beach fifty metres along the road and a train station five minutes on foot. Sant’Agata di Militello is around twenty minutes by car for supermarket shopping and hospital services. Palermo’s airport, the nearest international gateway, is under ninety minutes’ drive. For a beachfront apartment in north Sicily that is furnished, complete and ready to use, Appartamento Filippo II is a strong proposition.

Villa Alessandro - Altavilla Milicia Renovated from top to bottom and ready to move in, Villa Alessandro is a three-bedroom sea-view property in Altavilla Milicia, steps from Sicily’s northern coast. THREE FLOORS, THREE SEA VIEWS The villa rises over three levels, each with its own outdoor space. On the ground floor, a 16m2 covered veranda looks out to sea and connects to an open-plan living space of more than 35m2. A tiled parking area for two cars and an ornamental garden path complete the ground-level approach. The first floor holds the master bedroom with its own 16m2 terrace, a second bedroom that opens onto a private rear garden planted with olive, orange and fig trees, and a bathroom with a sea view. On the top floor, a third bedroom with en-suite opens onto the largest of the three terraces, with a 180-degree panorama. READY TO MOVE IN, OR READY TO LET A recent comprehensive renovation has left the property in excellent order, with certified electrics and plumbing, double-glazed windows, updated bathrooms and four heat pumps across the three floors. The valid habitability certificate is in place. For buyers with rental income in mind, this area of the northern coast sees strong summer demand from international visitors. A fully documented three-bedroom sea-view property with multiple terraces and a walk-to-the-beach location is well placed to perform. WELL CONNECTED TO PALERMO AND BEYOND Altavilla Milicia’s shops and services are under 5km away. The local train station brings central Palermo under 20 minutes by rail, and the international airport is roughly 45 minutes by car. Bagheria and the Capo Zafferano coast are under 15 minutes in the other direction. At this price, a fully renovated property in this position on Sicily’s northern coast offers compelling value.

Villa Antonello - S.Agata di Militello With a sweeping 180-degree view over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the green Nebrodi hills, Villa Antonello is a solidly built two-apartment property at 450 metres above sea level in the municipality of Sant’Agata di Militello, completed in 2011 and ready to use. One Apartment to Use Now; Another to Finish The first apartment is finished to a high standard of craftsmanship, with a brick fireplace connected to the radiator heating system, terracotta floors, exposed beamed ceilings and custom-built wooden cabinetry. The living space is on the ground floor with a well-fitted kitchen and WC; the upper level has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a private terrace with sea views. Air conditioning is in place on both floors. The second apartment mirrors the same layout and has been built to the same structural standard. It needs its finishing touches — kitchen unit, radiators and stair cladding — making this a short fit-out project rather than a renovation. Both apartments hold certificates of habitability. Outdoor Life and Self-Sufficiency A stone outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired oven and dining table is built at the edge of the hillside, looking straight out over the valley. The 3,300m2 plot is planted with olive trees that produce their own extra-virgin oil, and there is a prepared area beneath the terrace for a vegetable garden. A 40m2 outbuilding is fully registered and provides ample storage or workshop space. Sea, Mountains and Verdant Green Hills The town of Sant’Agata di Militello, with its beaches, marina, supermarkets and year-round services, is seven kilometres away — around fifteen minutes by car. Direct trains connect the town to Palermo (under two hours) and Messina (around an hour and a half). Palermo’s international airport is under two hours by road. Cefalù is an hour to the west. The Aeolian Islands, visible on a clear day, are reachable by ferry from Capo d’Orlando, 25 kilometres east. Potential Rental Income Villa Antonello is well priced for a two-apartment property with this quality of view and this level of finish in the first apartment. The second apartment, once completed, opens up solid rental income potential in a part of Sicily where experiential tourism is growing. The combination of cool summer temperatures, Nebrodi park access, sea proximity and good transport links makes this a compelling offer for a second home buyer or small rental investor alike.

Villa Salina - Trabia Spacious and meticulously designed, Villa Salina is a three-bedroom detached home located just outside Trabia, in the province of Palermo. Just 800 meters as the crow flies from the nearest beach, you can enjoy sea views from the sunny terraces, the best of which spans the entire flat roof of this single-story property. THREE BEDROOMS AND SOME FANTASTIC FAMILY SPACES The floor plan is typically Sicilian, with one end of the house used during the day and the other at night. The former includes a large entryway and a very spacious kitchen-dining room, where you can enjoy the sun streaming in through the large south-facing window. The three bedrooms can all accommodate two people, although one of them is currently used as a study. The veranda was once an open porch that has been enclosed on three sides. This has created a fabulous space to use year-round, with the windows open in summer and closed to retain heat during Sicily’s short winters. JUST A FEW STEPS FROM THE BEACH Although the area is very rural—and you certainly won’t feel as close to your neighbors as you would in the more densely populated residences and complexes closer to the beach—the road to the sea is only 1.4 km away. If that seems too far on a hot day, you can cover the distance in just a few minutes by bike or car. The property is also strategically located near Sicily’s main highway, which connects Palermo in the east with Messina in the west. The location is truly ideal for a buyer wishing to explore all that Sicily has to offer, with no part of the island more than a three-hour drive away. IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR YEAR-ROUND USE The property is extremely energy-efficient, with solar panels on the roof to generate electricity and heat water, and recently installed windows to insulate the interior. The south-facing windows and the veranda are perfect for enjoying the warmth of the sun even on a winter day, and, as a final touch of comfort, all rooms feature gas radiators. In the summer, you’ll appreciate the air conditioners throughout the house and the shade provided by the trees in the garden and the awnings in front of the veranda and on the roof. Plus, of course, you can cool off with a dip in the crystal-clear water whenever you feel like it!

Casa Isolotto - Misiliscemi Barely 300 metres from the shore on Sicily’s western coast, Casa Isolotto is a historic building awaiting restoration in the municipality of Misiliscemi, between Trapani and Marsala. EGADI VIEWS AND A PRIVATE PATH TO THE BEACH The two-storey building covers around 195 square metres and includes a main residential wing and a characterful former stable of 50 square metres. On the first floor, a panoramic terrace looks directly across the Mediterranean to the Egadi Islands. Curved terracotta roof tiles and interlocking clay drainpipes speak of a building with real historical character. The property comes with over a hectare of land – 11,000 square metres of Mediterranean scrubland stretching from the house towards the water. A private path crosses this land and leads to a near-private beach, far from the usual tourist circuits. KITE-SURFING, FLAMINGOS AND WINE COUNTRY The Stagnone lagoon, one of Europe’s premier kite-surfing destinations, is just minutes away to the south. Here you can also visit the ruins of one of Europe's oldest settlements, the Phoenician island town of Mozia. The Trapani salt pans, where flamingos gather at sunset, are a short trip up the coast, and the celebrated wineries of Marsala are close at hand. Ryanair base Trapani Birgi airport is just 15 minutes away, and Palermo provides a second option that's under an hour along the motorway. The port of Trapani offers fast hydrofoil connections to Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo. A RENOVATION WITH A HEAD START The ruined property will require a complete renovation, with our best estimate of work costs between €1,500 and €1,800 per square metre. However, it may come as a pleasant surprise to learn that in Italy, its status as a listed building actually simplifies the planning process, allowing work to begin without the usual bureaucratic delays. The finished product, whether a private residence or a holiday rental in one of Sicily’s fastest-growing tourist markets, would represent outstanding value for money. With over a hectare of land, a path to the beach and views of the Egadi Islands, properties like this rarely stay available for long. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa Giovanna - Campofelice In the midst of a productive lemon grove on a full hectare of land, Villa Giovanna is a two-bedroom country home with panoramic sea views in the hills above Campofelice di Roccella, on Sicily’s north coast. OUTDOOR LIVING AT ITS BEST The covered terrace is the heart of daily life here: a permanent tiled canopy over a terracotta floor, facing the sea and overlooking an unexpectedly lush Mediterranean lawn which really shines in the sun. A stone-built outdoor kitchen and an additional a pizza oven around the corner makes this a dream spot for long, sociable evenings in the open air. The paved parking area at the end of the private driveway offers its own panoramic views of the Gulf of Termini Imerese, and the estate’s 300 lemon trees, thirty olive trees and drip irrigation system create a lush and productive setting. A SOUND STRUCTURE READY TO BE SHAPED Inside, the 90m2 villa has an open-plan living room with a high sloping ceiling, a kitchen-diner with walk-in pantry, a study, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The structure is solid and the exterior was recently re-rendered, but the interior fittings are due for an update. This is a project home with serious potential for anyone who wants to shape a property to their own tastes, and the result could be a very comfortable rural retreat with all the character of its idyllic lemon grove setting. A WORKING ESTATE WITH RENTAL APPEAL The estate really sets this property apart. Whether you want to produce your own olive oil and organic lemons, or simply enjoy the privacy and beauty of a productive Mediterranean garden, the grounds deliver. The combination of sea views, rural seclusion and a working grove also gives Villa Giovanna real appeal as a holiday let for guests looking for something beyond the ordinary. BETWEEN CEFALÙ AND PALERMO Campofelice di Roccella is a year-round community with all the services you need, only two kilometres from the property. The beaches are less than ten minutes away, Cefalù is just ten kilometres to the east and Palermo is 45 minutes by motorway. A property of this calibre and scale, in this position, is well placed in the current Sicilian market. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

White Loft - Mondello A fully furnished, ready-to-use holiday apartment just steps from one of Sicily’s most celebrated beaches, White Loft is found on via Stesicoro in the prestigious seaside district of Mondello, on the outskirts of Palermo. CONTEMPORARY DESIGN, READY TO MOVE IN The ground-floor apartment underwent a total renovation in the recent past, and is sold fully furnished with designer fittings throughout. The open-plan living space is anchored by a Modulnova kitchen, while a Rimadesio-style glass partition creates a seamless flow of light between the lounge and the double bedroom. A resin-finished bathroom with walk-in shower, a private south-west-facing terrace and air conditioning in both main rooms complete a home that is ready to use from day one. The terrace faces the rocky hillside of Capo Gallo and benefits from both permanent cover and a retractable awning, making it usable in all conditions. AN INVESTMENT THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF White Loft is already an established holiday let managed by our agency's sister company, Solemar Sicilia. Scores of 8.4 on Booking.com and 4.6 on Airbnb attest to its popularity and smooth operation. Net rental income from the April-to-October season alone is around €15-20,000, and there is obvious scope to extend this into the increasingly popular low season if you don't plan on wintering here yourself. A private parking space adds significant market appeal, and a basement storage room is an extremely helpful facility for the owners. Both are rare finds in this neighbourhood. With the sale, the option to continue the arrangement with Solemar Sicilia would give the opportunity for a completely frictionless transition, and the potential to purchase on a pure investment basis. The flexibility of their service, however, would give you complete freedom to use the home as you like, and cash in on its lucrative position and beautiful design any time life keeps you elsewhere. MONDELLO: PALERMO’S FAVOURITE BEACH The beach is roughly 300 metres from the front door, and the cafes, restaurants and shops of the town centre and promenade are all within walking distance. Central Palermo is fifteen minutes away by car, and Falcone-Borsellino international airport is reachable in around 25 minutes, with direct flights across Europe and to the United States in summer. For a buyer seeking a holiday investment in one of Sicily’s most desirable locations, White Loft offers strong and stable returns at a competitive price point.

Casa Mandrazze - Castelbuono On the edge of one of the Madonie’s most vibrant towns, Case Mandrazze are a pair of independent country homes listed for joint sale. On a 6,000m2 countryside estate just outside the surprisingly lively Castelbuono, it offers flexibility, privacy and sea views. A STONE FARMHOUSE WITH SEA VIEWS The main house is a two-storey building in the traditional Madonie stone style, with an open-plan ground floor featuring a kitchen, living room with fireplace and bathroom. Upstairs, two bedrooms with sea views open off a generous landing that's topped off with a sunny balcony. The house is habitable now, though a full update of the fixtures and bathrooms would bring it to a modern standard. The front terrace offers panoramic views north over the olive groves and down to the Tyrrhenian coast, a feature that is uncommon at this altitude in the Madonie. A GUEST COTTAGE WITH POTENTIAL The separate single-storey cottage dates from the 1980s and offers a living room, two bedrooms and a mezzanine. It needs some foundation repair before it can be used, but otherwise is in good shape, with relatively modern fittings and only a little redecoration needed to make a very comfortable little annexe for visitors or to market as a holiday rental. This, too, is surrounded by a shady terrace with lovely green park views. An outdoor kitchen here would really put the cherry on the cake. COUNTRYSIDE LIVING,TOWN AT YOUR DOORSTEP Castelbuono is a walkable distance or short drive away, offering restaurants, shops, year-round cultural events and one of the strongest international communities in the Sicilian interior. The north coast beaches are about 35 minutes by car, and Palermo’s international airport is roughly 90 minutes away. This well-balanced location means that the homes are fully connected to all mains services , keeping the necessary renovation budget to a level that would still compete with many single homes. All of this makes the twin buildings and fruitful gardens of Case Mandrazze a compelling prospect for buyers who want space, seclusion and value.

Appartamento Gregorio - Casteldaccia Perched 65 metres above the Tyrrhenian Sea on a hilltop plot in Casteldaccia, Appartamento Gregorio is a two-bedroom apartment with views across the Gulf of Termini Imerese from both bedrooms and some lovely design touches that make it feel instantly homely. A QUIET GATED PLOT WITH DIRECT ACCESS FROM THE CARPORT The apartment forms part of a low-rise condominium, although it offers the privacy of an independent home. A private entrance leads straight in from a shaded front porch, screened from the road by trees and shrubs, and a carport is within a few steps of the front door. The property is part of a small block of flats with shared gardens and use of an automatic gate from the street. Other amenities include a huge water reserve from an communal reservoir. SPACIOUS INTERIORS WITH QUALITY FINISHES The home has two large bedrooms, each with parquet flooring and its own balcony, and a striking formal living room with a fine, expertly laid parquet floor. There is also a separate dining room large enough for eight, a built-in Sicilian kitchen with tiled work surfaces, a separate laundry area and a large family bathroom with a window. Decorative ceiling friezes, panels of coloured internal glass and a careful choice of tile work add character throughout, in a way that suggests an owner who has cared deeply about the small details. A SMART MOVE ON THE COAST EAST OF PALERMO Appartamento Gregorio sits at the top of a hillside overlooking the sea, with the centre of Casteldaccia a short walk or drive away. In the other direction, down the hill, some popular beach clubs and public coves are easily accessible, as is the historic Duca di Salaparuta winery. The local train station is around ten minutes’ walk and brings you into central Palermo in about 25 minutes. The international airport is less than an hour by car, and Cefalù under an hour up the coast in the other direction. A DURABLE FAMILY HOME OR A HIGH-POTENTIAL INVESTMENT The home is ready to occupy as it stands, with the vendor committing to refurbish the exterior balconies before completion. It has everything you need for a full time relocation to the Sicilian sun, including step-free access that makes it perfect as a retirement property. On the other hand, the spacious layout could support a division into two completely self-contained one-bedroom apartments of nearly 100m2 apiece, each with its own sea-view balcony and fully independent entrance.

Villetta Doreen - Sant'Ambrogio (Cefalù) Part of the three-year-old and beautifully kept Giardini di Cefalù residential complex, in the coastal hamlet of Sant’Ambrogio, Villetta Doreen is a fully furnished modern two-bedroom semi-detached villa just ten minutes from Cefalù. The villa is sold fully furnished and in excellent condition, with nothing to spend before moving in. CONTEMPORARY COMFORT WITH PANORAMIC TERRACES The nearly new villa is finished to the highest standards, with ceramic floors, finely plastered walls and wooden trim in a contemporary colour palette. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen on the ground floor lead out onto two terraces: one facing the sea and one looking up towards the mountains. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a balcony with a partial sea view, while the guest room opens onto a south-facing balcony that catches the sun throughout the day. A 2.4 kW photovoltaic system and A++ energy classification keep running costs impressively low. A QUIET VILLAGE ON THE DOORSTEP OF CEFALù Sant’Ambrogio is a hamlet of around 300 people perched on a terrace above the Tyrrhenian coast, with local restaurants, a village shop and a quiet beach at the foot of the cliffs. The old town of Cefalù and all its amenities – shops, restaurants, schools, hospital – are just a ten-minute drive along the coast. The Madonie Natural Park rises behind the village, and Palermo’s Falcone-Borsellino airport is roughly ninety minutes away by car. TURN-KEY AND READY TO WORK FOR YOU A private garden with a real grass lawn, a communal swimming pool and proximity to one of Sicily’s most popular tourist destinations give Villetta Doreen strong potential as a holiday rental. Our sister company, property managers Solemar Sicilia, would even be able to take all of the logistics off your hands, if you want the simplest possible route into that market. For a buyer seeking a low-maintenance property near the coast with immediate usability and rental income, Villetta Doreen delivers on every count.

Appartamento Massimiliano - Aspra A stone’s throw from the sea in a charming little fishing village on the Gulf of Palermo, Appartamento Massimiliano is a two-bedroom apartment with generous living spaces and a really winning balcony that wraps around the south and west sides of the home. A WRAPAROUND BALCONY OVER THE ROOFTOPS. The first floor apartment’s standout feature is this balcony, accessible from the master bedroom, living room and kitchen-diner. Even without a lofty top floor vantage point, your view will take in green hillsides, colourful neighbouring buildings and a wide open sky, with a hint of sea breeze drifting up from the waterfront. The sea is just 350 metres away. Inside, the rooms are airy and well-proportioned, with marble tile floors, white walls and wooden doors. The kitchen is large enough to seat eight and benefits from dual aspect windows. A second bedroom, bathroom, storeroom and utility room complete the layout. The property is sold unfurnished and in good condition, ready to be personalised. A FISHING VILLAGE 20 MINUTES FROM THE CITY Aspra is not a seasonal resort. It is a working community with bakeries, fish markets and restaurants open twelve months a year. The beaches and seafront promenade are minutes away on foot, and the coastline in both directions is full of coves and inlets to explore. Nearby Sant’Elia and the fishing harbour of Porticello add further character to the peninsula. Year-round demand for both residential and tourist rentals means the apartment offers genuine income potential alongside personal use, making it a practical choice for buyers who want their property to work for them. Bagheria train station is 2km away, connecting you to central Palermo in twenty minutes. The international airport is a 45 minute drive. IN GOOD CONDITION AND READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE A fresh coat of paint is all it takes to make this apartment your own. The bathroom is in good working order and the common areas of the building have been looked after with care. It is sold unfurnished, giving you the perfect opportunity to redecorate and put your personal stamp on the home before moving in, but all of the connections and infrastructure are sound, and you will have no trouble creating a homely atmosphere in this warm, sunny and well-located apartment.

Villa Iolanda - Cefalù Set in the green, wooded hills behind one of Sicily’s best-loved beach towns, Villa Iolanda is a detached two-storey shell overlooking Cefalù. The buyer will need to complete the unfinished property, but will have almost unlimited freedom to personalise it as they like. A COMPLETE STRUCTURE TO FINISH EXACTLY AS YOU LIKE The shell of the villa has been built in reinforced concrete with insulating clay block walls and a structurally watertight roof. At around 93 square metres over two floors, it will offer a pair of bedrooms and at least one bathroom on the ground floor, and what will eventually be an open living space on the upper level, where the views are at their best. A wraparound terrace will take full advantage of this, giving views of the Rocca di Cefalù, the cathedral and some of the Tyrrhenian Sea beyond. The buyer will have complete freedom to choose all finishes and materials, with the walls, floors and windows still to be installed, besides the plumbing, electrics and drainage. This is a rare opportunity to have complete creative freedom over a brand new home without having to involve yourself in the bureaucracy-heavy planning stage. The garden wraps around the front of the ground floor, with room for a lawn, outdoor kitchen and dining, and even a small pool if you would like. TEN MINUTES FROM THE BEACH The property sits at around 200 metres above sea level, roughly 1.3 kilometres from the coast as the crow flies, in a quiet residential pocket of well-spaced detached houses surrounded by woodland and lush hillsides. The access road is in good condition, and supermarkets are within a ten-minute drive. The old town of Cefalù, with its UNESCO-listed cathedral and famous sandy beach, is about the same distance. Cefalù’s railway station offers direct services to Palermo in under an hour, and the island’s main international airport is around 80 minutes away by car. A CEFALU' ADDRESS AT A RARE PRICE Even allowing for the investment required to complete Villa Iolanda, detached homes within the municipality of Cefalù rarely come on the market at this price point. We estimate between €100,000 and €140,000 above the purchase price to be a realistic budget for the rest of the work, so you are trading time for a significant discount on the typical cost of a new home in perfect condition here. All necessary documentation is in order and the sellers will hand over with renewed permits, so work will be able to begin without any delay.
