Villa in Lido di Mondello
Lido di Mondello, Sicily
Villa Due Mari - Mondello An absolute jewel of a family home, the stately Villa Due Mari is just 300m from the beach of trendy Mondello. An incredibly rare opportunity to buy into the great Sicilian summer experience, it dazzles with immaculate renovation work and perfect presentation. FIVE BEDROOMS AND THREE BATHROOMS The villa is spread across three floors, with a living room-diner and kitchen on the ground floor, four bedrooms on the first and a self-contained flat on the second. In total there is a huge 240m2 of indoor space, including a wide marble staircase that wraps around an fully functioning elevator. Two kitchens, one in the flat under the eaves, give you the flexibility to entertain in different configurations or perhaps to retain a live-in housekeeper or property guardian. Everything is in pristine condition, and the home is sold fully furnished, inclusive of all contents shown in our virtual tour and photography. A GREEN LAWN AND AN IRRESISTIBLE SWIMMING POOL The 400m gardens are fully enclosed and offer numerous possibilities for family time or entertaining. On the street-side of the west-facing property you will find a small front garden and off-street parking for one car. A flight of steps leads up to a long, open front porch. To the rear is a beautiful deep portico offering 55m2 of covered outdoor space. If we were buying the villa we'd consider enclosing it with glass to hold a winter garden and give us extra living space all year round, but it's stylishly designed and refreshingly cool just as it is. Beyond this, the well-kept lawn leads to the 7x3m swimming pool, an invaluable addition to a home in such a popular location. Beauty and Style, at Home and Around the Corner Mondello is officially a district of Palermo, but has its own distinct identity and is separated from the main city by the towering rocky outcrop of Monte Pellegrino. It is an exquisite natural bay, with a deep white sandy beach and picture-postcard turquoise sea. The gentle entry to the water and shelter offered by the bay makes it an unbeatable spot to bring young children or less confident swimmers. It has been the go-to summer escape for citizens of Palermo since the town's elite started to build villas here at the turn of the twentieth century. The immediately recognisable Liberty architecture, an offshoot of the Art Nouveau movement, was once the prevalent style throughout Palermo, but widespread rebuilding work in the 1960s saw much of it sadly lost. Villa Due Mari is a beautiful example of the style - a time capsule and a piece of the region's cultural heritage. Even better, it stands on the famous via Margherita di Savoia, a central avenue which is noted for its collection of well-preserved Liberty homes.

Santa Flavia, Palermo
Casa Maria - Porticello On the outskirts of the picturesque fishing town of Porticello, ten kilometres east of Palermo, Casa Maria is a family home on the lower floor of a two-property villa.

Decoration is simple but uniform, with marble floors and wooden doors and trim throughout. The matching fixtures in the primary kitchen and bathrooms are included in the asking price. With would think about using the dining room as a third bedroom, or perhaps a comfortable lounge with a sofa bed to give you extra flexibility. HUGE OPEN ROOF TERRACE WITH A PARTIAL SEA VIEW The main attraction is on the roof, accessed by a communal staircase but not shared with anyone else. Up here you'll find all the sunshine and fresh air you could ever need, and a wooden pergola offers shade over what is currently an outdoor kitchen. The units won't remain in place, but the wooden structure is fully certified and built to last. Connections for water, gas, electricity, drainage and even a dishwasher mean that you could very easily enclose this a bit more and give yourself a beautiful south-facing family room with cooking facilities and even a bathroom. The view from the south-eastern corner is particularly good, with the waters of the Gulf of Castellammare visible 500m away in the middle distance. WONDERFUL LOCATION FOR BEACH, COUNTRYSIDE AND CITY If you like the idea of living in small town Sicily but don't want to give up on all the opportunities and infrastructure that a big city has to offer, Porticello is a marvellous spot. The state road that runs close by the property will take you into the outskirts of Palermo in twenty minutes, and you'll find a huge shopping centre, medical facilities and all kinds of larger stores. If you're heading into the centre you can save yourself the stress of hunting for a parking space by taking the train from Santa Flavia station, only five minutes from your front door on foot. This can also take you to the eastern Sicilian city of Messina, the stunning beach of Cefalù or the airport on the other side of Palermo. On days when you want to take it easy, the nearest beach is only ten minutes away. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE
Apartment in Termini Imerese
Termini Imerese, Palermo
Appartamento Giusi - Termini Imerese In the friendly market town of Termini Imerese, just 30 minutes from Cefalù and Palermo, Appartamento Giusi is a cosy little studio apartment on the second floor of a corner terrace townhouse, with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. A SMALL RENOVATION PROJECT The apartment is currently unfinished and requires renovation, giving the future owner the freedom to decide exactly how to organise and personalise the space. Its compact dimensions make this a relatively manageable project, with space for a kitchen and dining area, a sleeping area and a bathroom. The French windows open directly onto the balcony, creating a pleasant connection between the interior and exterior. Rather than completing the renovation herself, the owner has chosen to sell the apartment in its current condition and has adjusted the asking price accordingly. This leaves the buyer free to select their preferred materials, finishes and style. SOLD IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION The property will be sold in its current condition and will be formally separated from the larger existing unit once a purchase proposal has been agreed. For the right buyer, this represents an interesting opportunity to purchase a small sea-view property at an attractive price and complete the renovation according to their own needs and budget. A PRACTICAL LOCATION JUST MINUTES FROM THE SEA Termini Imerese is a very authentic Sicilian town and, despite its rich history, is not affected by mass tourism. The nearby ruins of the ancient spa town of Himera can be reached by car in just a few minutes, while the castle and medieval village of Caccamo are around 20 minutes away. Beach lovers will be pleasantly surprised by how easily Cefalù can be reached by both car and train. The Termini Imerese railway station is just a ten-minute walk from Appartamento Giusi. From there, you can also travel directly into the heart of Palermo, Sicily’s fascinating cultural and commercial capital. With the sun-drenched beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast on one side and the green hills of the Madonie Natural Park on the other, this property offers an excellent base from which to experience and explore Sicily, at a particularly attractive price.

One of these is a tree-filled orchard, 715 m2 in size and planted with a mix of lemons and olives. The other is currently empty but at 523 m2 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.

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.

Villa in Casteldaccia
Casteldaccia, Palermo
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
House in Castellana Sicula
Castellana Sicula, Palermo
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

House in Zingarello
Zingarello, Sicily
Casa Carmelo - Agrigento A three-bedroom villa with sea-view balcony, Casa Carmelo is a beautiful holiday home in Sicily's southern region of Agrigento. 500M FROM THE SEA The waves of the Mediterranean wash up against Sicily's south coast just beyond the end of the quiet cul-de-sac on which Casa Carmelo is found. With a fabulous sandy beach only a kilometre from your front door you'll never grow tired of coastal walks or long sunny days in the sand and surf. The coastline faces south-west, making it the perfect spot from which to enjoy the island's famous sunsets. This district of the region of Agrigento is a quiet, residential one. While the nearest shops and amenities need a car to reach easily, they are only a short drive away and the no-through road means that you'll experience almost no noise from traffic or neighbours. The gardens and fields nearby are green and verdant, with plenty of citrus and olive trees amongst many other forms of agriculture in evidence. Needless to say, this guarantees a bounty of locally produced fruit and vegetables. TWO FULLY INDEPENDENT APARTMENTS Casa Carmelo offers 138m2 of internal space, divided between two floors. Each of these, however, can function as a private apartment. There is a bathroom on each, a kitchenette built into one corner of the upstairs living room and a separate one on the ground floor. An external staircase lets you enter the upper property without disturbing anyone downstairs, and a lockable door at the top of the imposing indoor staircase affords privacy to both halves of the property. The rest of the ground floor is a large living room measuring about 50m2, which the current owners have made use of as a studio space, with a double bed under the stairs. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, so even if you don't plan to do this you can sleep six in comfort, even without adding sofa beds in either of the living rooms. The ground floor enjoys a shaded veranda directly outside the front entrance, while anyone staying upstairs will love the ample balcony with its partial sea view away to the south. The garden of Casa Carmelo is spacious and well-maintained, and the whole property is in excellent condition. The windows are new, with mosquito blinds and external blackout shutters, and there are air conditioning units in all of the rooms. A REGION FILLED WITH TREASURES Anyone familiar with Sicily will know that Agrigento is primarily famous for the 'Valley of the Temples', a huge archaeological complex that is home to the remains of the city of the Greek city of Akragas. The vast temples and other remains found there are one of the most important sites for ancient history to be found anywhere in Europe. The site begins just fifteen minutes' drive from Casa Carmelo. Only a little further up the road is the beautiful white cliff known as the 'Scala dei Turchi', or the Turkish Steps. With its pristine strata glistening against the deep blue sea by day, or reflecting the colours of the sunset as dusk falls, this is an unmissable sight that will never fail to enthral visitors.

Land in Collesano
Collesano, Palermo
Plot Cinzia - Collesano Expansive and unspoilt, the huge hillside estate that is Plot Cinzia is a dream for the kind of buyer who is at peace with nature and doesn't back away from a challenge. While the old cottage that currently stands on the southern edge of the plot will need to be rebuilt from scratch, the raw beauty of this Sicilian country land is bursting with possibility. A BIRD'S EYE VIEW ON THE COAST The estate spreads over some 20 acres (80,000m2) of countryside on the western edge of the Madonie Natural Park, a few kilometres north of the picturesque little village of Collesano. The land slopes down towards the bottom of a valley which feeds into the Tyrrhenian Sea at the coastal town of Campofelice di Roccaella. The majority of the estate is woodland, home to a diverse range of trees and wildlife. The emptier pastures open up on the lower slopes to give a fabulous view of the sea in the middle distance, 8 kilometres away and about 400m downhill. The two existing buildings on the land are 100m2 and 40m2 respectively. You could work off this footprint, but the size of the pot means that the option would be available to create a much larger villa, complete with a guest house and swimming pool. HAVEN OF BIODIVERSITY You will find the soil fertile, with olive oil produced from trees in this region considered to be of particularly high quality. There are over a hundred olive trees on the plot at present, and one could easily imagine a buyer adding many more. You will also find a wide variety of trees and bushes, many of which bear fruit and nuts of all varieties. The land is home to numerous species of bird as well as hares, lizards and small mammals. There is already a well on the land, and you would certainly be able to achieve true sustainability and energy independence if you were to invest in solar panels to power and heat your new home. LESWS THAN HALF AN HOUR TO THE BEACH While the drive into Collesano is no more than six or seven minutes, you will also find it very easy to reach the towns at sea level. Both Campofelice and Lascari have lovely stretches of coastline, and the famous resort of Cefalù is only a 35 minute drive. Palermo and its international airport can be reached in an hour.

House in Gangi
Gangi, Palermo
Casa Marino - Gangi IN ITALY'S ORIGINAL “MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE”: TWO BEDROOM RENOVATED PROPERTY FOR SALE IN THE MADONIE NATURAL PARK Where is Italy's most beautiful village? Opinions will vary as widely as traditional pasta recipes, but the community of Gangi in the Madonie hills of Sicily has a better claim than most. In 2014, a heritage association called I borghi piu belli d'Italia (“Italy's most beautiful villages”) held what became an annual competition to find the nation's most picturesque community – and Gangi ran out the inaugural winner. Casa Marino is a beautiful restoration project in the historic old town of this magical hillside settlement. With a centuries-old construction giving it the sturdiest possible skeleton and no expense spared on the painstaking revamp, it is a fabulous opportunity to own a heritage property for a reasonable price A UNIQUE SHAPE AND DESIGN The house is on the end of a pair of terraces, tapering towards a wedged end that makes it look more of a tower than a family home when approached from one side. However, the four long storeys in fact combine to offer a surprisingly large 137m2 of habitable space. The narrow end of the building is a stairwell, and the wider part follows the same floor plan for the first three floors: a corridor leading past a bathroom with a large shower to a living or bedroom at the property's broadest section. LOCAL CRAFTSMANSHIP The materials used in the recent renovation are top quality, with locally produced floor tiles, sparkling bathroom fittings and crisp plaster accentuating the sections of the original, nearly metre-thick, stone walls which have been left on display in large sections of the property. The roof has also been repaired and is now in excellent condition. Only the stairwell is in need of work at this stage, and there are certainly no issues which would stop you moving in as soon as you complete the purchase. A really unique property, you won't regret taking a longer look at Casa Marino.

Italy
Property for sale in Italy divides between move-in homes and restoration projects, and the asking price rarely shows which is which. Prices run from around €20,000 (£17,000) to over €2m, with 504 homes under €100,000.
Tuscany and the northern lakes sit at the top, while Umbria, Abruzzo, Apulia and Sicily return far more house for the money. Use the filters to narrow by region, price and property type.
Why buy property in Italy
Italy offers the widest gap between entry and prime of any market we cover. Prices run from around €20,000 for a village house needing work to over €2m for a Tuscan estate, with 1,693 homes inside a €300,000 budget. Tuscany, Umbria and the northern lakes carry the recognisable names and the prices to match, while Abruzzo, Apulia, Sicily and Sardinia return considerably more space for the same money. Restoration is the norm rather than the exception, and the cost of the work is rarely reflected in the asking price.

Can foreigners buy property in Italy?
Yes—foreigners can buy property in Italy, including non-residents. In many cases the process is straightforward, but some non-EU buyers may need to meet Italy’s reciprocity principle (your notary/lawyer can confirm based on nationality).
The purchase is completed before an Italian notary (notaio), who verifies the legal title and registers the deed. Buying property does not automatically give you residency, so plan visas/residency separately if you want to stay long-term.
What is the property buying process in Italy?
A typical Italy purchase follows:
(1) offer accepted,
(2) due diligence (title, mortgages/charges, planning and cadastral conformity),
(3) preliminary contract (compromesso) with deposit (caparra),
(4) mortgage/finance (if needed) and final checks,
(5) completion at the notary signing the deed (rogito) and transferring funds,
(6) notary registers ownership with the land registry and updates cadastral records.
In Italy, verifying urban planning + cadastral conformity (often with a geometra) is a major risk-reducer, especially for older homes.
