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.

Casa Balata - Realmonte On a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea just outside Agrigento, Casa Balata is a fabulously renovated farmhouse which sleeps twelve in style. Currently operated as a luxury B&B which has been rated as “Outstanding” by users on Booking.com, it would also make a sensational family home for a buyer who prizes serenity and sustainability. SIX INDEPENDENT SUITES WITH BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS The villa consists of a main building and a guest house. 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. The iconic cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi are only four kilometres away, and the Valley of the Temples is also right around the corner. Whether you are looking to make unforgettable memories with your own visitors or attract paying guests, you will be spoilt for choice with the spectacular coast and delicious culinary traditions of the region.

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.

Casa Filippo - Marina di Caronia In the quaint fishing village of Marina di Caronia, at the foot of the stunning Nebrodi Natural Park, you won't find anything closer to the beach than Casa Filippo. SPACIOUS GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT RIGHT ON THE SEAFRONT The location of Casa Filippo could hardly be better, as it fronts directly onto the sea. Only a small road separates your front windows and private veranda from the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Directly across the road is a stretch of rocky beach, but only a few metres away is the large expanse of sand and pebble that is shared between bathers and fishing boats in a charming, timeless equilibrium. The two bedroom apartment has 40m2 of terracotta-paved veranda wrapping around its front and side, with a main entrance into a spacious hallway and French windows straight into the kitchen-diner. The bedrooms are both spacious and nicely furnished, and the wood-effect floors and brand new fittings make everything perfectly inviting. In total there is about 70m2 of indoor space. SOLD FULLY FURNISHED AND IN PERFECT CONDITION Everything in this warm and welcoming home has been freshly renovated, redecorated and even refurnished, meaning that you will be purchasing a property in absolutely pristine condition. The electricity and plumbing have been redone, the walls replastered and painted, in a gleaming white indoors and a sunny yellow outside. The bathroom and kitchen are both brand new. The apartment is on the ground floor of a block of flats, but there are no condominium charges to pay and the entrance is completely private, through a gate at street level, up a short flight of stairs and straight onto that glorious sunny patio. A BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE FOR SUNNY HOLIDAYS OR A PEACEFUL RETIREMENT Marina di Caronia is a small town right on the sea, in the shadow of the Nebrodi mountains. This gives a thrilling colourful landscape of turquoise, blue and green as the hills begin to climb right from the water's edge. The region is overlooked by international travellers, meaning that you and the other residents will have the town's large crescent moon beach almost entirely to yourselves, even in the height of summer. The water quality is superb and the nearest spot for a dip could hardly be closer to your front door, just metres along the road. The nearby towns of Sant'Agata di Militello and Sant Stefano di Camastra will provide all the shopping and services you need, and the cities of Palermo and Messina can be reached in an hour and a half by car or train.

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

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

Appartamento Principe Nicola - Catania A sixth-floor apartment in Catania, just 500 metres from the sea, Appartamento Principe Nicola combines city convenience, sunlight, and investment potential in one bright package. SEA, CITY AND SICILY AT YOUR FEET Set in north-eastern Catania, this apartment puts everything within easy reach: rocky beaches, seafood restaurants, and the port are a 10-minute walk, with the historic Baroque city centre just beyond. A new metro stop is planned right on the doorstep, connecting you to the heart of the city in minutes, while the airport is only a 25-minute drive. Whether you want a base to explore eastern Sicily or a practical home in one of the island’s most dynamic cities, the location delivers. LIGHT, VIEWS AND OUTDOOR LIVING Perched on the top floor with a southwest-facing terrace, the apartment is filled with natural light. The terrace offers sweeping city views and sun throughout the day, while the bright wrap-around hallway catches a glimpse of the sea. A shared rooftop terrace crowns the building with views of Mount Etna and the waterfront, adding to the sense of airiness and connection to the landscape. A BLANK CANVAS WITH VALUE TO ADD Sold unfurnished, the apartment is ready for you to put your stamp on it. The interior is in good condition, and the option to enclose and connect the rooftop terrace offers a rare chance to create private outdoor space. With the upcoming metro line set to boost demand and the property’s position just 500 metres from the sea, this is both a practical home and a smart investment, offering flexibility for personal use or rental potential.

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. Indoors, the finishings are built to last, especially in the kitchen, where the cupboards have been installed in brick and tile, the traditional Sicilian fashion. There's air conditioning for the summer and an efficient pellet-burning stove for the short winters. Even better, all of the furniture will be included in the sale. Just pack your suitcases! 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.

Casa Ilona - Trabia With sea-view terraces and beautiful interiors, Casa Ilona is a great option for a mid-budget holiday home in northern Sicily. ONE BEDROOM AND ONVE VERSATILE LIVING SPACE The recently-renovated house is composed of a large living area, a compact bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. One end of the living room is given over to a kitchen, which has been beautifully fitted with custom-built wooden cupboards, worktops and drawers. The rustic charm is reflected in the exposed beams of the cottage ceiling, and the expensive travertine stone floors. The bathroom is comfortable and stylish, with a monochrome majolica tile print around the efficient modern shower. To one side of the home is a patio which has been partially covered by a fixed gazebo. This makes an unbeatable spot for outdoor meals and sunbathing. Underneath is a spacious garage with an automatic door, and a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine. There is additional space to park three or four cars off-road. A SCENIC SPOT WITH SEA AND COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS The property sits in 1,000m2 of sloping land, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea just four kilometres to the north. With a terraced garden both in front of and behind the home, there is plenty of outdoor space in which to grow flowers or vegetables, dine al fresco or just sit in the stillness of nature and enjoy the cooling breeze which brushes the scenic spot, 380m above sea level. If you want the best view of all, head up to the flat roof of the home, which is suitable for use as a patio. From here the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Termini Imerese are in full view, along with the green hillsides and neat rows of fruit and olive trees closer to home. CONVENIENT FOR THE BEACH AND FOR THE CITY One of the best beaches in this stretch of coastline, the romantic Ombelico di Venere outside San Nicola l'Arena, is just a fifteen minute drive away. If you are in search of something sandier you can head east to Casteldaccia or west to the long, quiet stretch of coast by Campofelice di Roccella. Beyond this is the sumptuous Cefalù, with its Medieval old town and UNESCO-protected cathedral. If you want to explore the island's urban life, a little over 40 minutes will bring you into Palermo, a huge, resurgent metropolis and Italy's fifth-largest city. Whether you want world class opera, international boutiques and fine dining, or street food, bustling markets and a passionately supported football club, there is something for you here. From the calm silence of Casa Ilona, however, the bustle of modern life feels half a world away. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa Alfonso - Scala dei Turchi A huge detached villa, fully renovated and with an uninterrupted view of one of Sicily's best-loved landmarks, Villa Alfonso is an absolute bargain at the asking price. A TERRACE WITH A TRULY UNIQUE VIEW It's impossible to start anywhere other than the top, where the open terrace gives lovely views on all sides, but a special treat is in store when you look to the south-east. The pristine white cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi beach are in full view. It's a really rare opportunity to be able to buy a property this size with such a famous backdrop. The tourist attractions don't end there, either. The legendary Valley of the Temples is only fifteen minutes up the road, the vineyards of Marsala are a short drive to the west and Sicily's largest golf resort is only just around the corner. FIVE BEDROOMS AND A BEAUTIFUL GROUND FLOOR There is abundant room indoors and out, with 145m2 of indoor space on each of the two floors. In addition to this are the deep porches and balconies that stretch the entire width of the home to the front and rear, the flat roof, the garden and an orchard on the southern side of the plot. Indoors you will find five bedrooms, four upstairs and one on the ground floor.

Appartamento Ballarò - Palermo Appartamento Ballarò gives you a front-row seat to one of Sicily’s most vibrant cities. Sitting quietly above one of Palermo’s most famous markets, this third-floor apartment pairs authentic Sicilian character with an unbeatable central location. WHERE HISTORY MEETS DAILY LIFE Step outside and you’re instantly immersed in Palermo’s historic centre. The Cathedral, Teatro Massimo, and bustling piazzas are all a short walk away, while Ballarò market provides fresh produce, colour, and energy right at your doorstep. Despite its lively surroundings, the apartment itself offers a surprising calm, giving you the best of both worlds: the city’s flavour without the noise. LIGHT, SPACE AND SICILIAN CHARM Inside, the apartment flows along a central hallway connecting three bright bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living room. Elegant terracotta floors and subtle Baroque ceiling details give each room its own Sicilian personality. Two balconies look out over the market below, while an adjoining bonus room offers flexibility as storage, a study, or as a potential fourth bedroom. A CANVAS WITH ENDLESS POTENTIAL Already in excellent condition, Appartamento Ballarò is move-in ready but brimming with potential. A kitchen upgrade, modernised bathrooms, or adding air conditioning to some of the bedrooms would instantly boost both comfort and value. Whether you imagine it as a stylish city retreat, a thriving tourist rental, or a long-term investment, this property’s blend of location, character, and potential makes it a rare find in the heart of Sicily’s capital.

Casa Aldo - Castellana Sicula A three-bedroom property on three floors, the rural Casa Aldo is roomy, in good overall shape and fantastic value for money. THE FEELING OF BEING COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN NATURE Built a few hundred metres outside the small village of Castellana Sicula, Casa Aldo is close enough that you can choose to walk into town, but the surrounding thicket of pine and eucalyptus trees makes you feel half lost in nature. The views from the second floor windows and the marvellous open terrace outside the first floor living room are amazing, with a vantage point over the tops of those trees to the rooftops of Castellana. However, at ground level you feel surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, the scent of the trees and the gentle chorus of cicadas acting as a kind of sensory firewall from the cares of the modern world. This is a spot in which you can lose yourself in your thoughts, your work or the company of your family and friends. STURDILY BUILT AND SPACIOUS Casa Aldo is in fact half of what used to be a giant farmhouse, a testament to the region's once-dominant agricultural sector. Although it has now been turned into a twin pair of semi-detached homes, you'll still find more than enough space for even a large family to holiday in the summer, or in which to host guests all year round. The ground floor has a trio or large rooms with vaulted ceilings, once the stables of the villa and now a cool reception space that will make a great first impression. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor follows a similar plan, with a landing that flows into a living room and then a dining room. There is also a kitchen, another bedroom and another bathroom. The top floor has two large bedrooms and a bathroom. INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL TO MODERNISE AND EVEN EXPAND The property is in good overall condition, but some investment will be needed to repair a small damp issue. The infiltration can be eliminated by cutting back some large pine trees whose needles have clogged the gutters, but you will have to make good some damage. Aside from this, you might want to spend some money modernising the bathrooms and kitchen, but there is no urgent need to begin any renovation work. We think it would make a sensational summer base for the entire family, and there is even the possibility of buying the adjoining home and some of the surrounding land. A really inspiring property, full of potential – ask us more about Casa Aldo today. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

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

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