The heart of the home is a spacious living-dining room, complete with air conditioning, two sofas, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. From here, you’ll find two bedrooms, each with its own balcony, making this an ideal setup for family living, guests, or a home office. PARTIAL SEA VIEWS AND THREE BALCONIES While the apartment isn’t right on the seafront, it still offers charming partial sea views from the kitchen, bathroom, and communal stairwell. The south-facing Juliet balcony off the kitchen brings in extra daylight and gives you that sought-after Sicilian indoor-outdoor connection. Plus, with two additional balconies off the bedrooms, you’ll have no shortage of spots to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening breeze. MOVE-IN READY WITH SCOPE TO IMPROVE Appartamento Rosaria already comes with independent heating, working electrics, and a fully operational kitchen and bathroom. The floors are in good condition, and the space is comfortably liveable as it is. That said, there’s clear potential to add value: a bathroom renovation, some fresh plaster and paint, and optional updates to the kitchen would quickly lift the whole property.

Casa Mariolina - Mistretta A magical place to get away from your cares and spend time in nature, Casa Mariolina is a one-storey cottage on an acre of sea-view land in northern Sicily. THE WILD BEAUTY OF THE NEBRODI PARK Sicily's largest natural park, the Nebrodi is a vast, mountainous region whose lower hills are characterised by leafy green hillsides and a quiet, unspoilt natural beauty. The estate on which Casa Mariolina has been built is a perfect embodiment of this, with sixty olive trees and all manner of wild fruits overlooking a deep valley, with views stretching as far as the Tyrrhenian Sea, ten kilometres to the north. It's a beautiful and fabulously relaxing spot to unwind and get back in touch with your friends and family. Everything is geared towards the social experience, with an open plan cottage, a deep covered veranda and an outdoor kitchen that would be a dream come true for any ambitious chef. A DELIGHT FOR ANY CHEF On a terrace slightly above the main house, back along the driveway towards the main road, a huge area has been flattened, paved with terracotta tiles, and enclosed with a handrail. Here you find the incredible outdoor kitchen, with a barbecue grill, twin wood-fired ovens and a deep vat above a fourth fireplace. Two large chimneys transport the smoke above the tiled wooden canopy overhead. There is also a sink, fridge and worktop. Absolutely everything you need to prepare a rustic feast. Outside the cottage, on the veranda, are a pair of long dining tables, and indoors are two more. You could easily feed twenty or more people at once, a testament to the role that communal living - and above all communal eating – have always played in the life of Casa Mariolina. Of course, there is also an indoor kitchen space to rustle up a simpler snack. But if you love nature and you love to entertain, this cottage in the hills would make an unbeatable place to combine the two. A VERSATILE INDOOR SPACE The open plan cottage consists of a single large room, with a lounge area that becomes a bedroom with the use of a sofa bed, a dining space in the middle and a kitchen at the far end. Two separate entrances would allow you to create a proper bedroom if you wanted to. The bathroom has a shower and is neatly finished with a clean white tile. Completing the estate, which spans three parcels of land, is a storeroom for all of the equipment necessary to maintain the land and its trees. The property is sold as seen in our photos and video, including all fixtures and furniture. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Appartamento Clelia - Catania In the north of central Catania, in the shadow of Mount Etna on Sicily's east coast, Appartamento Clelia is a mid-sized third-floor apartment with an attractive asking price. 80M2 OF INTELLIGENTLY USED SPACE Three-metre ceilings give a roominess to the apartment, as do its dual exposition to the north and south, allowing light and breeze to pass right through the home. The twin verandas, one still open and one enclosed with glazing, add to the sense of openness. The one to the north, left open, overlooks a piazza where a market is held at weekends, and also has a view of the city's football stadium, home to 'the Elephants', Catania FC. The two bedrooms and living room are a roughly similar size, with the largest of the three a very large master bedroom which faces south, with a view over the central courtyard of the U-shaped apartment building. The smaller bedroom connects to the open veranda on the opposite side of the property, as does the living room, which is currently used as a dining room. The kitchen and bathroom are long and narrow, the latter with fully-tiled white walls and a box shower. The galley-style kitchen connects to the enclosed veranda, which has become a de facto utility room. You'll find a large deep sink and connections for a washing machine. GREAT LOCATION IN A VIBRANT AND GROWING CITY The flat is within half an hour's walk of all the city's major attractions, including the arterial via Etnea, the cathedral, the waterfront, castle and the Bellini theatre. Catania is home to Sicily's largest and busiest airport, which can be reached in just fifteen minutes by car, and gives you a broad range of options for travel within Europe and even, in the summer months, to the east coast of the US. Travelling a short distance up and down the coast brings you to the picturesque seafront towns of Taormina and Siracusa, each home to some fabulous restaurants, pristine sea and interesting boutiques. Further afield but still within 90 minutes' travel time are the Baroque towns of Noto, Ragusa and Modica, the temples of Agrigento and of course the natural wonder of the Mount Etna National Park. Low Condominium Fee and the Potential for Rental Income The communal areas of the building are maintained and managed by the condominium association, in return for a modest fee of €30 per month. Parking is freely available for residents in the central courtyard. At present the flat is rented to students who pay a rent of €400 per month. This arrangement could easily be continued if you don't plan to occupy the apartment yourself in the immediate future. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

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.

With all of the attractions of the town within easy walking distance, and the beaches of the Capo Zafferano peninsula just a stone's throw away, this is a great opportunity to get yourself a holiday home in Sicily without leaving the area of Palermo. Smartly Designed and Well Presented With about 50m2 of internal space made to feel deceptively spacious by high ceilings and a minimalist design, the apartment is divided into four spaces: kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. There is also some storage in a little loft. The bedroom is the biggest of the four, with plenty of space for a double bed and other furniture. The exposed wooden beams on the ceiling lend a nice rustic touch. The living room and kitchen are neat and functional, and the bathroom contains a box shower. A Lively and Traditional Community Bagheria is a socially active town of about 25,000 people, which buzzes with activity all year round.

The centre of Palermo can be reached in a matter of twenty minutes by train, bus or car. The Sicilian capital has expanded in recent years, but there is still a strip of green belt before you get to Bagheria, which allows the market town to retain a distinctive sense of its own identity.

As a budget option to serve as a base for holidays in Sicily which is convenient all year round, and not just in the high season, it is a great option for the price point, and unlikely to stay on the market for long.

Casa Puccio - Sciacca This typical Sicilian old town house is located in the center of the south-western Sicilian port town of Sciacca. Surroundings The house is certainly more than 100 years old, and the walls are correspondingly thick. The old town of Sciacca is located on a hill, so that this house can only be reached by a very small car. You usually park in the market square in the upper part of the town and then walk about 100-150 m to the house. The property The house has the typical charm of a Sicilian old town property, it extends over three floors and as it is situated on a slope, both the first floor and the first floor have direct access from a small street. Theoretically, the first floor could also be lived in independently and separated from the rest of the house. There is a toilet on both the first floor and the second floor. From the second floor, a relatively comfortable internal staircase leads to the top floor, where we find a roof terrace of around 40 m2, which also offers a partial sea view between the houses. The house originally belonged to a Sicilian family who emigrated to Germany and the current owners, the heirs of the former emigrants, are no longer interested in this house, which is why they want to sell it. The house is in an average condition, it can also be described as inhabited, especially since the smaller, damp areas in the house are still being repaired by the current owners. These damp patches are not so much due to the ingress of moisture from outside, but mainly because the house has not been lived in for many months. Options The owners are asking a z#price of €57,000 for this key-ready house with the existing furnishings, which seems justified given the approximately €35,000 invested in recent years

Casa Li Bianchi - Pollina PARTIALLY RESTORED THREE-BEDROOM HOUSE IN THE MADONIE SPACIOUS AND BURSTING WITH POTENTIAL On three storeys (though mostly on two), with balconies offering magic views of the Madonie Natural Park and as far as Mount Etna on the horizon, Casa Li Bianchi is a restoration project that would make a second home, popular guest house or the perfect spot from which to smartwork in dazzling surroundings. With room for three, perhaps four bedrooms and all the character of a Sicilian home, this house will make a perfect place to bring a large family for holidays, or even to start a new life in the sun. SEA VIEWS AND GREEN HILLSIDES Pollina is a delightful hilltop village with astonishing views, up into the hills of the park but notably out to the Mediterranean sea, which lies just a few kilometres to the north. A stone's throw from Cefalù, within easy reach of Palermo and with the Aeolian Islands in full view on a clear day, this little escape 400m above sea level has remained beautifully untouched by the throngs of mass tourism and retains an unmistakeable Sicilian charm. A JOB ALREADY HALF COMPLETE Renovating old property on the island can be fraught with challenges, but this is a superb opportunity for a first timer. The entire skeleton, save for one small internal room, has been recently rebuilt to a high, seismic-safe standard, with new walls, roof, floors, doors, and balconies. Even the pipes are still gleaming! Take advantage of the chance to do the fun part – the interior design, the finishing touches – and end up with the Sicilian hideaway you always dreamt of, with a fraction of the time and expense needed to take on the majority of the renovation projects the island has to offer.
