I've never been a comfortable vacation type. But this time I needed something different in my life. A refuge. So, pushed by a Sicilian friend, I ended up here, a few kilometers from Piazza Armerina, immersed in the rugged and beautiful countryside of the Sicilian hinterland. The mansion had been described to me as “a dream of stone”, and when I walked through the iron gate, I realized it was no exaggeration. The house, ancient but completely renovated, seems to emerge from the earth itself. It is built with light stone from the Aidone mountains, handmade, alive under the sun. As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed by a tidy and fragrant garden, with olive trees, ripe figs and smooth stone paths. But the heart of the outdoor space is undoubtedly the square barbecue: modern, elegant, with one side entirely dedicated to cooking pizzas. On the first evening, I lit a fire, mixed with local flour and baked my first pizza, watching the hills turn golden. The villa opens with a bright ground floor: a modern kitchen, where light enters slices from the windows, blends with a functional living room furnished with a large modular sofa. That's where I spent my evenings, reading, music and silence. There is also a basic bathroom and a practical storage room, where I have placed my backpack and hiking shoes. On the first floor, two bedrooms overlook small wrought-iron balconies, from which you can enjoy a different view every morning: light fog, sharp sun, wind in the leaves, and then... silence. Here too, a modern and well-kept bathroom, with simple but elegant finishes. The attic was a real surprise: a single large open space, naturally divided into two areas by a play of different heights. I chose the highest part to create a small photography studio, while in the lowest area I spread a carpet, placed pillows, books and a floor lamp. Exposed wooden beams are the only reference to tradition in an environment with an essential and contemporary taste. The secluded location is what makes this place truly special. Piazza Armerina is just a few minutes away by bicycle. There I walked through baroque alleys, tasted freshly stuffed cannoli and visited the famous Villa Romana del Casale, with its breathtaking mosaics. But every time, I couldn't wait to return to these hot, silent stones. When the sun goes down, the walls turn orange, and everything seems suspended. This villa is a place where the ancient stays outside, carved in stone, while the modern welcomes you inside with style and simplicity. It is the perfect balance between history and present, between roots and freedom. A place that speaks to you, observes you, protects you. Here, between stone and fire, I found something I had lost: time.

We are talking about the 15th century and we immediately notice the conformation of the building, with the ground floor and its portico, the typical stables, a series of storerooms and cellars, while on the first floor, as was customary in the past, we find the living quarters, barns and other rooms that once served the function of extra storage rooms, but which today could be rooms, communal spaces or other, depending on how one wants to re-imagine the distribution of space. Crowning the ancient farmhouse is a fund, part of which is used for grazing, part for fodder production, with an orchard, wood and vegetable garden. In short, an ancient farmhouse worthy of a setting for a Boccaccio tale. In fact, the farmhouse features architectural elements and artefacts that constitute significant evidence of local history and art, which in this case are also recognised as being of immeasurable cultural and architectural value. It has been years, if not decades now, that the world has completely changed, and although one would like to tell a long story of ancient intrigues, love affairs, victories and defeats, a tale worthy of an epic novel, we are forced to return from our journey through time and note that, as is the case in many cases, modernity has brought about the cessation of farming and livestock breeding, leading to the loss of the land's peculiar vocation. But, as we all know, one door closes and another one opens. The current owners, who are engaged in other activities, have always, in keeping with family tradition, kept the building and grounds in good condition. In fact, they have carried out numerous maintenance works on the main building, also at a structural level, and have periodically mowed the grass, cut wood and cared for the fruit trees, keeping the entire property in good condition.à. In the light of all this, the possibilities for functional recovery are many, from a tourist-restaurant and restaurant vocation to socio-healthcare or senior housing, but also purely residential, all of which obviously implies the restoration of the main building with a redistribution of the internal spaces and a feasibility assessment of the construction of new facilities to increase the opportunities and services to be offered depending on the final destination. Here, along the magnificent Lake Idro, in an old house full of history and ready to welcome new and even more beautiful ones.

We walk through the districts of the Ispica countryside, where blades of grass lie prone to the constant blowing of the sea breeze, laden with swollen dewdrops in which the sun is reflected in the turquoise sky. The old farmhouse immediately evokes the idea of frugality, rusticity and the echo of a distant yet so incredibly familiar era. It is a marvel of absolute calm, in an infinite field, a reality in which one can laugh, joke, cry and love without anyone knowing. In other words, it is a place we could truly call our own. Today, however, the property is in a state of neglect, the garden is uncultivated and in need of replacement. But, equipped with the right vision, we immediately identify the main concept: do we salvage the two small houses that are there or do we demolish everything and salvage the volume? Either way, the imagination has a lot to feed on. A modern, contemporary villa in a minimalist style as well as a combination of tradition and modernity? A swimming pool or jacuzzi? Or a volleyball net hung between a palm and an oak tree? Or solar panels on a canopy to protect the car? A beautiful colonnade with climbing plants or an orchard, an olive grove, a citrus grove or... the ideas are endless, just like the potential of this rustic cottage nestled in its gigantic grounds that seem to be a fiefdom worthy of a medieval noble vassal. And so the proposal takes shape: a large plot of land of more than 12,000 square metres plus two buildings, the larger of which is partly used as a dwelling with a living area, two bedrooms, bathroom and storeroom, with a warehouse alongside, while the second building, of more modest dimensions, was certainly once used as an agricultural warehouse. Today we can think either of recovering the volume, or of renovating the existing buildings, changing or retaining, according to need, their function, for our first home, for holidays or as a property to be rented out to the delight of many tourists.

From a beautiful and bold internal staircase in glass and steel, we go up to the upper floor, where under the exposed wooden roof we find 3 bedrooms, 1 double room with en-suite bathroom, a second double room and a twin room with their own bathroom. bath. Here too, two beautiful covered terraces allow you to gaze across the entire valley, from Monte Stivo to Bondone. The entire villa reflects the owner's desire to surround himself with pleasant and aesthetically particular things, without giving up the maximum usability of all the spaces and the technology to guarantee the pleasure of living. The garden, the true pride of this residence, is built on various terraces from which to enjoy various views of the valley, and on the main one a splendid swimming pool with breathtaking views.

Today we are going to Piazza Armerina, a municipality in central-eastern Sicily located in the Erei mountains at around 700 m above sea level. I must admit that I was unaware of the presence of this place and I thought it was a square in Enna and not a true natural and artistic masterpiece, known as "The city of Mosaics and the Norman Palio" or "The city of 100 churches". Our meeting is at the Duomo, the highest point in the city. From here a series of medieval streets unfold through which we wander in ecstasy, while to the right and left we are surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque buildings. A Vespa whizzing by a few steps away from us brings us back down to earth and understand that we are in the 21st century. Among these ancient buildings we identify the one where the property we are going to visit today is located, the result of a recent renovation where a large and modern apartment has been created on the first and second floors. Having crossed the threshold through an ancient and austere wooden door, an elegant staircase covered in Caltagirone marble and ceramics takes us to the first floor where the various rooms develop from the large atrium starting from the living room, the large living area with an American kitchen with a relaxation space and a splendid view where we can admire the famous Gagini balcony and finally a study room and bathroom in refined marble. The staircase that leads us to the sleeping area is another element that characterizes the entire house, marble and glass blend together in an extremely pleasant contrast between the classic and the modern. The second floor reflects the dimensions of the one below, but is different in layout and style the slope of the roof. Here we find the three rooms, one with a walk-in closet and the large bathroom finished in a more modern but no less beautiful way. What can I tell you, a few lines are not enough to describe in detail each environment and the characteristics of the materials and finishes, what we know is that if the center of Piazza Armerina is your destination your search will stop here.

Marina di Cecina, Tuscany, is famous for its sandy beaches, transparent sea and large countryside in the hinterland, rich in vines, olive groves and cypress trees - an area that abounds in both natural and human beauty, ancient, historical and even recent. Fertile ground for those looking for a place to stay, for those who love Tuscany, with its immense sunsets, friendly people and exquisite cuisine. A question. How many is 300 metres? It's a little less than a five-minute walk. And by bike? Maybe half a minute. All this for a simple thought: we are practically at the seaside. The proposal we want to talk to you about today is in fact a large flat only 300 metres from the beach. It is situated in a very quiet residential area and occupies the first floor of a small house. With 4 free sides it presents itself as a solution for those who want a first or second home for themselves, but also for those with business ideas. The entrance gate leads us to the private courtyard on the ground floor while the external staircase takes us up to the first floor. In its almost 115 square metres of floor space, in addition to three balconies, we find a large entrance hall, a dining room, a kitchen with pantry, a living room, two large double bedrooms, a large bathroom and a last room that could be a study, a third small room or simply a walk-in wardrobe. Large spaces and many rooms, which could be further improved and rationalised, perhaps by obtaining a third bedroom and a second bathroom useful both for personal use and in case one wanted to use the property to rent out, an idea not to be underestimated given the high demand and not only during the summer period. Internally it is in fair condition and can be lived in immediately, with central heating and a beautiful fireplace in the dining room, but with some modernisation and customisation work you can make it absolutely unique.

We are in the historic center of Scicli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where among medieval columns and porches stand the baroque domes of the cathedral. Among oleanders, olive trees and flowers, the scent of the bakery 50 meters away wakes us up in the morning. Here the specialty is the so-called "Testa di Turco", at least double the size of the average, which crumbles into a thousand crunchy and delicate layers of puffy pasta that hide a good dose of cream from the citrus aftertaste. This is the aura of the property below presented, which is spread over a portion of an ancient building and is configured as the ideal for the creation of a reality where, in addition to the scent of the bakery, you can breathe air of modernity, baroque and minimalism. You can think of a holiday home for yourself or for others, for guests or to make income, but also for a primary residence. Why not? Because at the end of the day the location, the main factor of each property, also here it has the upper hand but should not be neglected all the other features. It must be designed as a sort of terraced house, well restored, with parts where, for example, ancient bricks and an old building spring out of the stucco specially, other interesting details such as the medieval arch in the living area, all elements and fine architectural details. Sure, if on one side the house has all some particular elements, on the other there is a final touch to give it its own personality. As an idea, here you could think of how to use the contrast between ancient stone and stucco, installing light wood shelves, decorated with fatty or tropical plants, a beautiful monster for example, perhaps putting some light as can be seen in some modern chic rooms where outdoor bulbs are very popular, the aluminum element in black color, going to work then on the balance of the colors of the house. Let's imagine it in the center of Scicli, both as ours and as a B&B: a living area with a beautiful sofa, the kitchen with a small counter, and the bathroom / laundry room. On the first floor the bedroom, the second bathroom with shower and finally the mezzanine with the exposed roof to be used according to your style. Surely the potential is there, they are at an affordable price, and are located in the center of Scicli, where there is a splendid portion of the building which only your personal touch is missing.
