Villa Presti - Cefalu TWO-BEDROOM, SEA-VIEW HOUSE IN CEFALÙ'S GREEN HILLS Surrounded by woodland, at the top of one of the lower peaks of the Madonie Natural Park but just twelve minutes' drive from Cefalù, Chalet Presti offers a sensational blend of seclusion and convenience. With Cefalù one of Sicily's blue chip tourist markets, this is a very solid investment for an enticing price per square metre – the total covered area spans a huge 240m2. We see Chalet Presti as being ripe for a makeover with the addition of a pair of extra bedrooms, giving it a sleeping capacity of eight plus, and significant potential as a vacation rental if you don't plan to live there 365 days a year. VAST STORAGE SPACE FOR CARS OR AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY Built on two floors and a mezzanine, the house takes advantage of the hillside to offer beautiful views from every room. The ground floor is currently a huge garage, or storage space, but there is tons of potential to put this to a more efficient use. Outside is a terrace which overlooks the green hillside rolling down to a wide stretch of coastline which is visible throughout. BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS LIVING AREA On the upper floor is the main living area of the house. Here you will find a pair of bedrooms and twin bathrooms, as well as a spacious family kitchen. However, the majority of the space is taken up with a chalet-style, high-ceilinged open space living room, with a mezzanine gallery built on a slight overhang. This intelligent bit of design has created what is currently used as an additional living area and a dining space. Of course it could be changed in something more efficient, like 2 new bedrooms.

Casa Salvo - Sciacca Characteristic country house surrounded by olive trees, citrus plants and fruit trees. The house is located in the municipality of Sciacca in the province of Agrigento. Sciacca is a coastal, tourist and spa town rich in monuments and churches. It is very famous for its historical carnival. The property is about 110 km from Palermo airport (plus/minus 1 hour driving time). In less than an hour you can reach the magnificent Trapani and in about 1.5 hours the famous beaches of San Vito lo Capo. The centre of Sciacca is just over 8 km away. At a distance of less than 5 km you will find shops, grocery shops, a butcher's shop and all important services. The property is situated on a plot of about 8,000 square metres. The land is full of olive trees (about 100), orange trees (about 50) and many fruit trees (plums, apricots, figs, bananas, mulberries, persimmons, pomegranates). Part of the property has been converted into a vegetable garden where the current owners grow all the seasonal vegetables. The property has 3 wells and is already equipped with an irrigation system to water all the plants. You have your own oil (annual production about 200/250 litres), your own fruit and vegetables. There are two buildings on the property, a house and a storehouse. The house consists of 4 rooms and a nice veranda. The building has a living room with open kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The house has a double entrance. The first one is at the back of the house under a nice veranda that gives access to the large living room with open kitchen. On the left side of the living room is the entrance to the first bedroom. The second entrance is instead located at the front of the house, next to the driveway to the property, and provides access to a small hallway where the second bedroom is located on the right and the bathroom on the left. The rooms all have windows and are therefore very bright. The window frames are double glazed and fitted with mosquito nets. There is a nice terrace on the roof of the house, but at the moment there are no fixed stairs to reach it. The house is habitable and does not require any special works. However, at the moment the property is not connected to the electricity grid. The current owners supply electricity via a generator. Ideally, the property could be equipped with a photovoltaic system that would make it energy self-sufficient (in Italy, there are currently significant government subsidies for the installation of photovoltaic systems and energy storage). Alternatively, one could apply for a connection to the national electricity grid. The property does not have a heating system and there are no heat pumps installed. The house is equipped with a certified Imhoff tank. Water is supplied by the three wells on the property. A few dozen metres away from the house is the second building, which is used as a storage room. All the equipment necessary for cultivating the land is kept in it. The storage consists of two rooms. In one of the two rooms, a small tractor is currently parked, which is useful for cleaning the land. The tractor could be subject to negotiation, but is not included in the sale price of the property.

Villa Gioiosa Between sky and sea, nestled in the hills in the reserved area of S. Lucia di Gioiosa Marea, in a paradisiacal setting between woods, mountains and sea, the villa offers a priceless view, a typical example of the beauty of the northern coast of Sicily. The building is an optimal synthesis of the characteristics of the place where it is located: a rugged landscape by the sea with a breathtaking view. The property is less than 3 km from the centre of Gioiosa Marea, where all the main services and shops can be found, and of course miles of beaches and sea. The village is right in front of the Aeolian Islands, which are easy to see on sunny days. THE VILLA Leaving the motorway, you drive along a beautiful state road in the countryside, accompanied for long stretches by the view of the sea (driving this road in an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider must be the dream of many...). After leaving the state road, you reach the property via a side road, which is in poor condition for a short stretch, but still easily passable. The villa is arranged on three levels and has two independent entrances. The main entrance is on the first floor. Access is via an external staircase that leads to a large "open hallway". Entering the house, one finds a large living area equipped with a thermal fireplace and a kitchen separated from the living room by a brick archway. Thanks to the large windows in the living room, the house is very light, airy and cool. From the perfectly renovated and furnished kitchen, one has access to a balcony that extends over the entire right side of the house. Access to the sleeping area is through a door that separates the two areas. A small hallway on the left leads to the first master bedroom, which is also in excellent condition, is very large and has access to the balcony. On the right side of the hallway is a second large room with a window overlooking the green forest at the back of the house. Finally, in the middle of the hallway is the finely tiled main bathroom with whirlpool bath. A door in the kitchen area leads to the second floor of the house. This is where the current owners have fitted the laundry room. The presence of a fully finished terrace of over 100 m2 with an impressive 360° view of the surrounding nature would suggest another use for this space. As if all this were not enough, a door in the hallway leads down to the minus 1 floor, where there is a real studio flat with its own entrance, consisting of a kitchen, bathroom with shower and sleeping area. Here, too, the condition is excellent, everything is perfectly furnished and equipped. If desired, it is possible to enter the studio from a large, uncovered terrace, which also offers an incomparable view. The house is built on a plot of 1100sqm, where there are cherry, fig, chestnut and olive trees as well as ornamental plants. If you want, you also have enough space for a small vegetable garden. At the moment, the owners have put a large outdoor pool on the left side of the house, which could also be replaced by a permanent pool. Below the house runs a bridge of the motorway, it is only a short distance, from the tunnel exit to the tunnel entrance. Outside you can hear it when the wind comes from the north. Not inside the house. Surely this is also the reason why the house is offered quite cheaply. SERVICES Heating system: gas boiler and thermo fireplace Water: Connection to the municipal waterworks. Water always available Hot water: boiler and thermo fireplace Sewerage: Connection to the municipal sewerage system Internet: Excellent network coverage, download speed over 100 mb per second. Windows: Double glazing and adjustable external shutters Air conditioning: rooms and studio with heat pump cold/hot CONCLUSIONS The villa is definitely an excellent investment for those lucky enough to buy it! Built in 2012, 10 years later the house seems to have just been built. Both inside and outside it is in excellent condition. Everything is perfectly maintained and furnished. Especially the interior is impeccably maintained and needs no renovation. The materials used are of excellent quality, the terracotta tiles are perfect, the bathrooms are very well equipped, the main kitchen and also that of the studio flat are made of wood, complete with all appliances and in perfect condition. Also very positive is the presence of double-glazed windows and adjustable external shutters which, together with the thermal cover and the thermal fireplace, make the house warm in the mild winter and very cool in the summer. The terrace on the second floor and the uncovered patio on the first floor are little used so far, but could be equipped with barbecues, sofas and verandas to enjoy the magnificent view in the company of friends and family. The house is being sold as you see it, fully furnished and ready to go. You don't have to deal with builders, architects, surveyors and furniture stores.... Everything is already prepared. Pack your bags, your new home in Sicily is already waiting for you.

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.

Nevertheless, in our opinion, a general freshening up of the house could considerably improve the aesthetic condition. The windows are partly aluminium without double glazing and partly wooden, also without double glazing. Potentially, the house is a little paradise.

Having all this always at one's disposal for many could be a real dream The house is served by: Electricity: Active Water: Well with 9,000 litre cistern Hot Water: Boiler Sewer: Black Well Internet: Good network coverage, download speed 40 mega

Plot Dispenza – Sea-view Buildable Land in Sicily's Madonie Natural Park, with Consent to Build Multiple Homes or a Holiday Village A beautiful stretch of sea-view land on the hillsides of northern Sicily, Plot Dispenza offers nearly two hectares of meadow and olive trees, bursting with potential. The plot is beautiful and the location scenic, but the real key asset here is the fact that it has been classed as Zone C 'buildable' land. In contrast to most land which becomes available to the international market, this allows for a far larger-scale development project. Ready to develop, with permission to build On 'Zone C' land it is permitted to build 0.1m3 of habitable structure for every m2 of ground space. In the case of Plot Dispenza that translates to 600m2 of housing or accommodation. This is enough to build a medium-sized holiday village or glamping resort for tourists, a residential complex suitable for timeshare or second homes, or simply four or five detached villas, depending on the scale of each. Of course, it would also be possible to build a single structure, a really vast luxury home. But from an investment standpoint the best returns are likely to come from dividing the land. Five kilometres from the beach, in the foothills of a stunning Natural Park The site is directly adjacent to the SP9 road which runs downhill from Collesano, on the lower slopes of the picturesque Madonie Natural Park, to Campofelice di Roccella on the Tyrrhenian Sea. With the iconic beach town of Cefalù less than half an hour to the east, and the international airport at Palermo just an hour to the west, the location is a perfect one. Collesano is an extremely popular destination with the international market, and even in this out-of-town district we have recently helped buyers from Austria, Germany and the USA buy villas and land in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a wonderful, open-minded community where the best of traditional Sicilian heritage blends seamlessly with new arrivals from all corners of the world. If you are ready to take on a challenge, Plot Dispenza is incredibly rich in potential. Don't miss the full listing on our site.

Villa Giò Casuzze (Ragusa Marina) Villa Giò is a splendid, perfectly renovated villa located a few metres from the sea in a residential context. The property is located in one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of eastern Sicily, on the coast of Marina di Ragusa, precisely in the locality of Casuzze, (a hamlet of Santa Croce Camerina). The location allows one to reach the beach even on foot, being only 600 metres away from it. The area offers all the necessary services (restaurants, pizzerias, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc.), but at the same time is less chaotic than nearby Marina di Ragusa. The province of Ragusa can be reached by plane by landing at Comiso (the nearest airport) or Catania (the most important airport). The coastline, with its shallow waters sloping towards the open sea and a wonderfully blue sea is particularly suitable for families with children. Marina di Ragusa is the beating heart of the summer nightlife on the Ragusa coast and is one of the busiest seaside resorts in the whole of Sicily. Those who want to relax in quiet and peaceful areas will find in the Randello Reserve the perfect place to be in contact with nature and enjoy an uncontaminated sea. Situated in the heart of the Val di Noto, with no less than 18 sites declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 2002, Ragusa is one of the most important places for the presence of testimonies of Baroque art, with its churches and eighteenth-century palaces set above all in the ancient part of the city, Ragusa Ibla. An area where history, art and tradition contribute to making the Hyblean area one of the most renowned and popular tourist destinations in Sicily today. A few kilometres from Ragusa are two other UNESCO heritage sites: MODICA, the city of a hundred churches but also of the flavoured chocolate that has been produced there for centuries according to an ancient recipe, and SCICLI, an enchanting, scenic and precious Baroque jewel. The PORTO TURISTICO MARINA DI RAGUSA is only 2 km away from the property, which can be easily covered on foot or by bicycle along an efficient cycle path that runs along the sea and offers a breathtaking view, especially at sunset; it is one of the best equipped and most efficient moorings in Sicily, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. THE VILLA The property was built in 1986 and entirely renovated in 2022. The renovation was aimed at energy efficiency, bringing the dwelling up to energy class A4, through the installation of a 6 kw photovoltaic system with 15 kw storage batteries, a hybrid boiler for heating by means of radiators installed in each room, a heat pump for the production of domestic hot water, and the replacement of windows and doors with thermal break windows. The property is also equipped with air conditioners for cooling/heating, an alarm system and surveillance cameras, a wall safe, an irrigation system for the entire garden, a container for the supply of LPG gas, and a well that guarantees a plentiful supply of water in addition to that provided by the municipality of Santa Croce Camerina. The villa is spread over two floors and enjoys ample equipped outdoor spaces and a large garage on the -1 floor. It has two entrances, one pedestrian and one vehicular, positioned on two different sides of the house. The driveway access leads via a ramp to the lower floor, where there is a very large garage that can accommodate up to four cars or a boat, as well as being a valuable shelter for storing all the outdoor furniture during the colder months when it is not in use. The pedestrian access to the property leads to a beautiful garden with lawn and ornamental and fruit trees (oranges, lemons, olives) and to a large portico where the two entrances to the house are located. The first gives access to the living room, the second to the kitchen. This makes it very convenient to be able to make use of the outdoor spaces to organise lunches and dinners during the long spring and summer months. Continuing along the veranda you reach another perfectly equipped area where you will find an oven, a barbecue, and a laundry room with bathroom and shower. Under the veranda are the two entrances to the house. The first gives access to the kitchen, the second to the living room. On the ground floor there are then two bedrooms, a storage room, a bathroom and a winter garden, cosy and very bright, which constitutes the added value to the house. The property is completed by a beautiful attic room, which is accessed via a spiral staircase located on the left side of the house. The height of the central part of the attic, where the bedroom and the dining area have been positioned, serenely allows it to be exploited to the full. The side part, on the other hand, where the kitchen and bathroom have been positioned, has a limited height. The attic is completed by two balconies located on the two extreme sides of the house. One of the two balconies has a sea view. Its incredible features make the property the most beautiful in the area and certainly one of a kind. An important detail to highlight is also the total regularity of every part of the property, which does not have any illegalities. The Energy Class A4 allows very low running costs of the property and a great appreciation in economic terms of the property. The villa is ready to be lived in. It does not need any work. Nothing is missing except for a swimming pool which can be quietly placed in the large lawn behind the house. 1 Kitchen 1 Living room 1 Winter garden 2 Bedrooms 1 Bathroom 1 Store room 1 Laundry room with shower 1 Porch with barbecue and oven 1 Garage 1 Attic room (kitchen, bathroom with limited ceiling height + living room bedroom with normal ceiling height) Services: Water: Well for irrigation + municipal waterworks Hot water: Hybrid boiler Electricity: 6 kw solar panels + 15 kw storage batteries Double glazing Air Conditioning in each room Alarm system with cameras + wall safe Irrigation system Mobile phone connection speed: 130 MB

Casa Marilyn - Cinisi Villa Marilyn with its large garden is located approximately 20 km west of the city limits of Palermo in the municipality of Cinisi. The village of Cinisi is located directly by the sea and just a few kilometers from Palermo airport. The property To get to Villa Marilyn, drive about 7 km inland from the coast into the hills. The house is situated at 590 m above sea level and has a wonderful view of the north-west coast as far as San Vito lo Capo. The house was built almost 30 years ago by the current owner and makes a very solid impression. There are no damp patches or cracks in the walls. The approximately 120 m2 apartment is located on the second floor and is accessed via an external staircase. Underneath is a large garage with adjoining cellar room of approximately 80 m2. From here you can also access the apartment directly via a spiral staircase. There is also a toilet in the garage. The approx. 120 m2 upper floor is divided as follows: You enter the eat-in kitchen and find yourself in a room of certainly 40 m2 with windows facing the sea. From here, a corridor leads to the sleeping area, where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Everything is very practical, but even the floor tiles are not unfashionable and acceptable. The house has a pitched roof, which prevents the infiltration of water. Around the entire building, a so-called Indiana - which corresponds to a trench on the inside in front of the outer wall around the entire house - was created, which is a space about 1 m wide that prevents the penetration of moisture and cold. As you can see, this measure was successful! Around the house there is an orchard of almost 2000 m2, which is not completely flat; in addition to olive trees, there are mainly fruit and nut trees. It is all very green and there seems to be no lack of water. The house does not have a municipal water connection, but it does have a well and rainwater can be collected in a 50,000-liter cistern. There are two springs just a few meters from the house where you can also fill up with drinking water. The surroundings There are some neighbors in the immediate vicinity who also live here all year round, but you still have total privacy and cannot be seen from your terrace. The village of Cinisi can be reached by car in about 10 minutes on a very well-developed winding provincial road, where there are also very beautiful sandy beaches and of course very good shopping facilities. Palermo city center can be reached in about 40-50 minutes, the airport in about 20 minutes. From the house you can start very nice hikes and enjoy the super view. There is cell phone reception at the house, Internet is received via a satellite dish. The owners are asking around €200,000 for this house. The house has all permits and would cost well over €340,000 as a new build. I would install double glazing in the windows, install radiators if necessary (the pipes are prepared) and update the electrical system as work required for year-round living.

Villa Rosanna – Trabia Detached villa on 2 levels, newly renovated, perfectly insulated, with panoramic views of the coast The property The villa for sale is a detached house on two floors with panoramic views over the Gulf of Capo Zafferano to Cefalù, with an adjoining plot of land of approx. 1500 m2 with lush olive trees and a superstructure pool. Above all, it is energy self-sufficient thanks to the total energy renovation carried out in 2022 with the installation of a solar system on the roof, which guarantees an energy efficiency class A2 with an energy consumption of 88.97 kwh/m2 per year (the invoice below the photos clearly shows the very low consumption). The house with walls, roof and windows has been completely renovated and insulated, so the electricity bill together with the batteries will no longer be a problem for you. Thanks to the orography of the terrain, access to the villa from the outside is via two entrances that completely separate the two floors: a main entrance on the ground floor directly into the study and another via an external staircase that leads to the balcony on the first floor and extends around the entire perimeter of the building. The exterior design of the villa follows the natural course of the land with the olive grove extending laterally on one side and a reserved area for relaxing with a hammock on the other. Inside, the two floors are connected by an internal staircase made entirely of solid oak wood. On the ground floor there is a study, a bathroom and a room that is currently used as a living room but could easily be converted into a bedroom. Adjacent to the living room there is a small storage room with access from the outside, where the connections for a second kitchen are located, which can be realised and possibly connected to the first floor to guarantee it complete living autonomy. The first floor houses both the living area and the sleeping area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living area is functionally divided with the kitchen located in an open-plan space with the living room. The kitchen leads to the terrace on the mountain side. From the living room you reach the balcony with views of the gulf. To the side, with reserved views of the meadow with olive trees, there is an equipped terrace covered by a wooden roof and transparent elements that houses the dining area and the brick barbecue, which is connected to the representative outdoor areas. The internal distribution therefore makes it possible to have two independent flats that could guarantee the presence of two families or even an investment opportunity with a second income. The unfurnished house is in a ready-to-move-in condition. The following work may need to be done by the buyer: Some paving stones are broken in the driveway and would need to be replaced, The railings on the upper balcony would need painting and one bedroom in particular, which was previously used as a nursery for 7 year old twins, would need painting. The vendors will no longer be doing this work. Surroundings Contrada Vucca Vanelle is characterised by stately villas built in the 80s and 90s, when the area experienced its greatest expansion, culminating in the construction of various holiday homes for the Palermitan middle class. Today, thanks to its connection to the city of Palermo, the area is a favourite destination for those who want to live in a quiet environment away from the noise of the city, both in summer and winter. The villa can be reached via provincial road 12, which is connected to the state road linking coastal towns such as San Nicola l'Arena, Altavilla Milicia and Trabia to the Palermo-Catania motorway. The sea and the motorway entrance can be reached in about ten minutes by car and the hillside location allows you to enjoy the freshness in summer and the panorama. Opportunities We have already sold several villas in this area; the price was quite comparable depending on the size and condition - but no property had anywhere near these insulation values, which is characterised by low electricity consumption but also by a pleasant quality of living in summer and winter. Not to mention the better sales value! This will also play an even greater role in Sicily in the future. This is not just a holiday residence, but above all a villa that can be lived in all year round, just as it has been used in the past. It is being sold purely for family reasons. I could imagine that the sellers would also accept a slightly lower purchase offer in view of the minor cosmetic repairs.

Villa Vanessa - Mongerbino Villa Vanessa is a splendid, newly built villa situated on the coastal road that connects Aspra with the fishing village of Porticello. Along this road there are numerous villas that belong or have belonged to wealthy Palermitans. The location is perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the village of Aspra, where freshly caught fish is sold every morning. Numerous pubs, restaurants, bars and all major shopping facilities can be reached in a few minutes. The villa enjoys a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Palermo. The sea is visible from all rooms of the villa and seems to penetrate the house. An expanse of a thousand shades of blue that change depending on the time of day and weather conditions. The villa is about 15 km from the centre of Palermo and less than 50 km from Falcone Borsellino International Airport. Bagheria railway station is also less than 3 km away. The villa The villa stands on a plot of 3,300 metres, most of which is wooded with pine and oak trees. The plot is sloping and extends over the front and rear of the house. The villa was recently completed and consists of 2 floors. The main entrance of the villa is on the right side of the house. The entrance of the villa opens onto a small corridor with a first bedroom on the left, a bathroom on the right and, further along the corridor, a kitchen-diner. At the end of the corridor is the large living room with a fireplace. The room has large windows and double doors that look out onto the large veranda with sea views. Here you can spend the spring and summer months and enjoy the large outdoor area that the villa has. On the left side of the villa there is an outdoor kitchen with barbecue. Everything is new, the window frames with double glazing, thermal insulation and shutters, the doors, the terracotta floors throughout the house and the beautiful fireplace in the corner of the living room. The view from all the windows is breathtaking, the sea can be seen from almost every point of the house. A staircase leads to the second floor where there is a large hallway with windows. Here there is a second door leading to the villa (this door gives the possibility to create two different flats with independent entrances). A corridor then leads to the 3 bedrooms, all of which have access to the terrace and offer sensational sea views. At the end of the corridor is the bathroom on the first floor. The property is located in one of the most beautiful streets in the province of Palermo. Everything has been built to high quality standards and in full compliance with the building regulations in the area. A swimming pool has not yet been installed, but there is enough space for it.

Nobles Anwesen - Aci Reale This 1000 m2 estate in the absolute centre of Aci Reale was bought 20 years ago by a wealthy German and completely restored over eight years of painstaking and elaborate work. The buildings are built around a very beautiful inner courtyard, which also houses a swimming pool, which is currently covered by a wooden platform and a conservatory. The entire property has 30 rooms and 15 bathrooms alone. Everything is more than luxurious, from the bathrooms to the ornate ceilings and marble floors. The origins of this building go back to a Spanish Baroque family who had their headquarters here. Over the years, the property fell into disrepair and was only rediscovered and fully restored by the current owner. There really isn't a corner of this property that isn't in perfect condition. Of course, there is central gas heating and a system for cooling and monitoring. It is not easy to describe this property here. Every room is decorated differently, the owner's love for this property is evident everywhere. You simply have to visit this house yourself and wander through the rooms. There are several kitchens and also five separate flats that can be rented out individually and are not furnished but have been completely renovated. The main house, where the owner lives all year round, has a billiard room, for example, and its own bar, which almost looks like a small pub and is equipped with everything that goes with it. The dining room has room for 20 people, the owner's bedroom is more than luxurious, there is a huge dressing room with an infinite number of cupboards, a huge private bathroom, etc. The property also has several terraces on different levels, which also offer a view over the whole city to the sea. As Catania is easy to reach by plane from many cities, I recommend that anyone interested book a flight and let us and the owner show them round the house. Determining the purchase price is of course difficult, as on the one hand there is the almost lavish interior including all the furniture, for which the owner claims to have spent around € 10 million including the purchase price and renovation work. On the other hand, there is of course a real price per square metre in the centre of Aci Reale, which does not provide for such purchase prices. Nevertheless, the vendor would like to achieve a real price for this property that does not correspond to what he has spent so far, but nevertheless does justice to the value of the property, the renovation work and the furnishings.
