Casa Baldassarre - Bagheria a 200-square-metre first-floor apartment in Bagheria, Casa Baldassarre stands on the edge of the town with fantastic transport links by road and rail. With independent access, a private garage and a 100-square-metre terrace, this property balances charm with wonderful liveability. EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ELEGANCE The apartment showcases perfectly preserved original frescoes on the ceilings and decorative majolica floors with geometric and floral patterns. Nor are modern comforts lacking - the large reception room features a modern pellet fireplace, whilst the windows feature state-of-the-art insulation to keep the climate perfectly controlled and the noise of the busy city outside. The layout includes three double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with tub, one with shower), fitted kitchen, a laundry room and a utility room. High ceilings throughout create a sense of space and light. OUTSTANDING CONNECTIONS Bagheria station is only 200 metres from the property, offering twelve-minute train connections to central Palermo. The fishing village of Aspra, celebrated for its seafront, fresh fish markets and authentic atmosphere, is a two-minute drive or fifteen-minute walk away. Corso Butera's shops, restaurants and services are all within easy walking distance. Despite the main road location, top-quality acoustic insulation ensures complete silence when windows are closed. INVESTMENT VERSATILITY The property would be fantastic as a spacious family home, but we could also see it as a boutique B&B conversion. The independent entrance and 200-square-metre layout allow for creating separate guest suites whilst maintaining elegant common areas. The private garage is particularly valuable for tourists travelling by car – or of course for your own personal use. The spacious terrace, already equipped with a canopy and outdoor kitchen with wood-fired oven, would really shine with a little attention, and has the potential to make a stunning roof garden and solarium.

Casa Rosaria - Gratteri A substantial renovation project on one of Gratteri’s main streets, Casa Rosaria is a four-storey townhouse of approximately 220m2 with the rare advantage of a private garden in the heart of the village. 220m2 OF CHARACTER ACROSS FOUR FLOORS The traditionally built stone house is arranged over four levels, connected by a marble-clad staircase in excellent condition. Rooms range from a ground floor entrance with an original stone sink to a first floor chamber carved directly into the rock – a wonderfully atmospheric space. The upper floors offer a kitchen-living area with potential for an open-plan layout, and a top floor with well-preserved chequerboard cement tiles and panoramic views that stretch to the sea. A PRIVATE GARDEN IN THE VILLAGE CENTRE What really makes Casa Rosaria stand out in this part of the world is its rear garden, accessed from the top floor terrace. Private outdoor space attached to a house in Gratteri’s old town is exceptionally uncommon, and it opens up possibilities that most village properties cannot offer – from outdoor dining to a kitchen garden or a quiet retreat under open sky. SOLID BONES, READY FOR YOUR VISION Casa Rosaria needs moderate to thorough renovation. At least one timber floor structure requires rebuilding, the bathroom must be redone, and the roof, electrics and window frames all need attention. The facade, however, is in good order, and the reinforced concrete staircase is sound throughout. A minimum budget of around €40,000 will bring the house into comfortable use; although if you want to make it into a really stylish mix of historic charm and modern comfort you might need to find two or three times that. The Mountains of the Madonie, Half an Hour from Cefalù Gratteri sits around 700m above sea level in the Madonie Natural Park, surrounded by outstanding hiking and mountain landscapes. The ever-popular beach town of Cefalù is only a thirty minutes drive down a winding scenic road, and you can find supermarkets and larger shops along the way in Lascari. For international connections, Palermo’s international airport is ninety minutes to the west. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Salvatore - Bagheria A three apartment palazzo on four floors, with a glorious sunny top-floor living room and roof terrace, Casa Salvatore stands in the historic centre of Bagheria, a small Sicilian city just fifteen minutes by train from Palermo. THREE APARTMENTS AND A ROOFTOP TERRACE Each of the first three floors is a one bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bathroom, and all have their own entrances from a shared marble staircase. It would be perfectly straightforward to create a trio of separate apartments, and the top floor could either become a studio or a common leisure space – perhaps depending on whether you plan to renovate for resale or the rental market. Tall ceilings throughout lend a touch of history and an airy openness to the rooms, and balconies on Via Scoppa bring in natural light. The top floor is probably the biggest selling point, an open-plan space with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two sides. This leads out to a corner terrace with views over the rooftops and bell towers of the town. TEN MINUTES TO THE TRAIN,FIVE TO THE SEA Bagheria is a lively little city of around 40,00 residents, boasting a lively food scene, pedestrianised shopping streets and a rich cultural heritage centred around its famous baroque villas, including the celebrated Villa Palagonia. It's something of a satellite of Palermo, and the train station that's just ten minutes away on foot helps commuters and tourists alike reach the centre of Sicily's capital in less than a quarter of an hour. The charming seafront village of Aspra, with its fish restaurants and access to the coves of the Capo Zafferano peninsula, is five minutes away by car. When you need to travel internationally, Falcone-Borsellino airport is about 45 minutes away and you can also get there by train with a single change. A RENOVATION PROJECT PRICED TO LEAVE YOU AN AMBITIOUS BUDGET The property needs a comprehensive programme of work: new plumbing and wiring, heating installation, new window frames, bathroom refurbishments and facade repairs. The ground floor, which has been unoccupied longest, requires the most attention, while the second floor is in notably better condition. The low asking price leaves significant room to renovate in a way that will stand the test of time, and the result could be a substantial and characterful home – or three or four - in one of northern Sicily’s best-connected towns.

Villa Caterina - Cefalù A three or four bedroom villa to renovate in one of Sicily's most sought-after locations, Villa Caterina is a 220m2 detached house on 1,200m2 of land. In the hills of the municipality of Cefalù, around ten minutes from the famous beach town itself, it offers a beautiful view of the Gulf of Termini Imerese, facing west towards the region's spectacular sunsets. SUNSET OVER THE WATER Positioned 300m above sea level in a sparsely populated district known as Campella or Contrada Monte, the villa is set up to take full advantage of that expansive view of the Conca d'Oro, the great coastal arc that sweeps from Campofelice di Roccella to Palermo. Looking inland, the verdant hills of the Madonie rise up at your back like a carpet of green. Best of all, the area is heavily protected by local planning regulations, which guarantee that no new developments can infringe on your view or sense of privacy and seclusion. A CLEAR PATH TO A FULLY RESTORED HOME The house sustained fire damage around a decade ago, but the load-bearing structure held firm thanks to the quality of its relatively recent construction. An extensive insurance dispute resulted in detailed court-commissioned surveys and laboratory analyses, providing comprehensive documentation of the building's condition. A full engineer's cost estimate has been drawn up for the renovation, covering a new roof, structural consolidation, replacement windows and floors, modern electrical and plumbing systems, heating and cooling, and solar panels. With the purchase and renovation combined, the total outlay is estimated at under €500,000. THE PEACE OF THE COUNTRYSIDE, WITH CONVENIENCE AND HISTORY ON HAND Despite its secluded hillside setting, the property is only a ten-minute drive from the centre of Cefalù, with its UNESCO-listed cathedral, golden sandy beach, and full range of shops and restaurants. The Madonie Natural Park is on the doorstep, and Palermo's international airport is about an hour away by car. Few locations in northern Sicily combine this kind of rural tranquillity with such easy access to the coast and its amenities. For buyers looking for space, views and value just outside one of the island's most desirable towns, Villa Caterina is as good a proposition as anything you'll find.

Casa Davide - Solanto Overlooking the little piazza at the heart of its historic fishing village, Casa Davide is a two-bedroom apartment in the Borgo di Solanto, within the municipality of Santa Flavia. With private access to a beach just a few metres away and Palermo's airport only a 45 minute drive, it would make a gorgeous holiday home on Sicily's north coast. PRIVATE ACCESS TO THE SEA The Borgo di Solanto grew up around a castle built in the twelfth century to protect the local tuna fishery and later became a retreat for Sicilian aristocrats and Bourbon royalty. The exclusive atmosphere continues to this day, as Casa Davide enjoys a private right of way down to a beach club on the small stretch of seafront just a few metres away. Housed within a little condominium with just two other apartments, it benefits from a dual entrance, with a raised front porch overlooking the sunny town square and a shared courtyard at street level to the rear. PERIOD CHARACTER AND MODERN COMFORTS High ceilings, original tiled floors and solid wood window frames give the apartment the feel of a proper Sicilian home. The spacious living room is big enough for a sizeable dining table and shares with the compact kitchen a lovely view of the piazza in front of the property. To the rear, beyond the two double bedrooms, the bathroom has been recently renovated with smart new tiling and a large walk-in shower. An underground cistern of 18,000 litres and air conditioning in the living area ensure year-round comfort. MINUTES FROM PALERMO, BUT COMPLETE PEACE AND SERENITY On the headland of Mongerbino and Monte Catalfano, just ten kilometres east of Sicily's boisterous capital city, Solanto feels a world away. Facing out onto the long lazy Gulf of Termini Imerese, it has views of twinkling sea and green hills that rise up to the mountains of the Madonie Natural Park. Nonetheless, the metropolis can be reached in just twenty minutes by road or rail - Santa Flavia station is under two kilometres away. You'll find convenient supermarkets and everyday infrastructure in nearby Bagheria and Casteldaccia. Cefalù is about forty minutes by car, and the international airport under 45 minutes. It's actually remarkable that despite this convenience and the heritage of Solanto, the village itself is almost totally undisturbed by mass tourism. There would, however, be a market for such a charming and well-located apartment as a short-term holiday let. READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE The property is fully habitable, with all services connected and a recently modernised bathroom. Some cosmetic updates could give it an extra layer of polish, but there would be absolutely no pressure to do any work before you move in.

Casa delle Sorelle - Porticello A renovation project ideal for buyers working to a defined budget, Casa delle Sorelle is a two-storey terraced home in Porticello, just a short walk from the marina and local beaches. CLOSE TO THE WATERS OF THE GULF OF TERMINI IMERESE The property is located only three minutes from the Porticello harbour and near the small coves of Sant’Elia, making seaside activities an easy part of everyday life. From the local fish market to opportunities for swimming, diving and boating around the Mongerbino headland, the area is well suited to those who enjoy coastal living. All essential services are close at hand, from shops, bars and restaurants in Porticello to road and rail connections around a kilometre away in Santa Flavia. A BLANK CANVAS TO SHAPE TO YOUR NEEDS The cottage provides 49 m2 of internal space, arranged in L-shaped rooms on both floors. Upstairs, a small loft above the staircase offers storage, while downstairs a compact bathroom is neatly positioned beneath it. The house will require work, but a total investment under €100,000 should allow for a complete modernisation tailored to your tastes. Its manageable scale, central location and characterful structure make this an appealing option for anyone looking to enter the Sicilian property market.

SEVEN EN-SUITE BEDROOMS AND THREE KITCHENS The 400 m2 main house is arranged across two generously proportioned floors. At its heart is a 50 m2 masonry kitchen with hand-decorated tiles, a built-in barbecue and a wood-burning oven – an environment that evokes the old Sicilian culinary traditions while equipped with every modern convenience. The adjoining reception rooms feature handcrafted wooden panelling and a large open fireplace, creating the kind of atmosphere where evenings stretch long into the night. On the ground floor of this building, two en-suite bedrooms accessibility and privacy, while upstairs three further bedrooms have exposed timber-beam ceilings, their own bathrooms and, in two cases, private terraces with panoramic views over the Trapanese countryside. Across the courtyard, the 100m2 guest house boasts two more bedrooms, and a kitchen of its own. Perhaps best of all, under the shade of a monumental portico, is the outdoor kitchen, built in masonry with a wood-burning oven; an amazing way to keep the family connected on a sunny summer's day A PULL AND A PARK - THE PERFECT ESCAPE INTO NATURE The other outdoor spaces are no less exceptional. From the terrace the grounds slope gently towards a 10 × 6 m swimming pool with a solarium, hydromassage jacuzzi and day-beds. Beyond this, the huge parkland estate is a botanical treasure trove.

Casa dei Nonni - Galati Mamertino With stunning views and an enticing price tag, Casa dei Nonni is a slice of the most traditional Sicily in a beautiful natural park. THREE BEDROOMS AND A COVERED ROOF TERRACE The property is built on four floors, with the lowest a semi-basement accessible from an adjacent street. The main body of the home is on the ground, first and second floors, with one bedroom on each. Two of these are cosy doubles with direct sea views through north-facing windows. The master, on the first floor, is twice the size and in addition to the same window as the others has a balcony overlooking the street outside. The ground-floor kitchen is brightly lit from a large street-facing window, and kitted out with a blue suite of oven, gas hobs, cupboards, double sink and fridge-freezer that is only ten years old. The small family bathroom on the first floor has a tub with a shower attachment and smart white tiling. On the top floor, the terrace measures 18m2 and gives you a great panorama over much of the village and the hills that rise around it on three sides. It is afforded shade by a fixed canopy and would make a lovely family space for relaxing afternoons or outdoor meals. SICILY'S LARGEST UNSPOILT WILDERNESS The Natural Park of the Nebrodi Mountains is the largest expanse of protected land in the whole of Sicily, and stretches from the beaches and marinas of the Tyrrhenian coast to the foothills of Mount Etna in the south. Along the way it unfolds as a thrilling landscape of mountains and lakes, forests and rivers which provide a home to innumerable species of flora and fauna. Galati Mamertino, where Casa dei Nonni stands, is a little community of around two thousand residents at an altitude of 800m above sea level. It's one of the last stops you come to before the centre of the natural park, which is completely free from towns and villages, spreads out over a vast area of 80,000km2. A WELCOMING COMMUNITY WITH CLOSE FAMILY TIES Since it was built in the 1970s, Casa dei Nonni has remained in the same family, and you will find that this is typical of much of the real estate in these traditional inner-Sicilian villages. Galati Mamertino is a warm and friendly place with a chance to really get under the skin of authentic Sicilian life. It does have all the modern conveniences you need, however, with supermarkets and smaller shops, a pharmacy and post office, and a smattering of bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the property. You will also appreciate the fibre optic internet cabling and the efficient public services. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Pinuccia - Gratteri With sea views and timeless charm, Casa Pinuccia would be perfect for a buyer who wants the thrill of restoring an old home in Sicily. THREE-STOREY HOME WITH BEDROOM,LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN Casa Pinuccia's layout is simple, with a 15m2 living room on the ground floor, a bedroom of the same size on the first floor and a kitchen and dining room on the second. Tucked away under the first staircase is a ground floor bathroom with a miniature tub and shower attachment. The living room opens straight onto the street through double doors which also let plenty of light into the cosy space. The first floor bedroom has the bonus of a sea-view balcony, and the dining room upstairs has the same. The room is only a little smaller than those below, despite the presence of the kitchen. We would actually love to see this floor opened up and turned into a single kitchen-diner. Doing this you could even put in a sofa and a couple of bookcases and allow yourselves to use the ground floor as a second bedroom. It would do justice to the sensational view from the balcony. A RENOVATION CHALLENGE WITH A CHARACTERFUL CORE There is no getting away from the fact that a lot of work is going to be needed, not least on the wooden ceilings which have suffered from water damage. Beyond this Casa Pinuccia will need new windows, electrical wiring and plumbing to bring it up to modern safety codes. Additionally the fascia needs to be refreshed, and the elderly air conditioners replaced – we would suggest with two-way heat pumps. On the plus side of the ledger, the staircase was redone in concrete in the 1980s, finished with some lovely Sicilian marble and remains in great condition. The bathroom is from a similar era but the simple decoration has aged well and everything still works efficiently. The roof is also holiding up well. You'll love the decorative floor tiles throughout the home, and the fixed wood oven built right into the kitchen wall is a must-keep. AMAZING HILLTOP LOCATION IN SICILY'S FAVOURITE NATURAL PARK The position of Casa Pinuccia is a huge selling point. Everything that surrounds Gratteri is beautiful green hillside, which stretches up to the towering peaks of the upper Madonie and down to the pristine Tyrrhenian Sea below. Although you could enjoy a different route around the fields, woodland and mountainsides of the region every day for a year, you'll also adore the fact that the nearest sandy beach is just 20 minutes away by car. The spectacular seafront of Norman Cefalu is only five minutes beyond that. And Palermo reachable in not much over an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Matteo - Gratteri In the small village of Gratteri, seven kilometres inland and 650m above sea level in the heart of the Madonie Natural Park, Casa Matteo is a must-see for buyers interested in renovating an historic . MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OF THE SEA AND MOUNTAINS The steep terrain and the height of this terraced palazzo building combine to offer unobstructed sea views from the second and third floors. The former even has a balcony that offers you the chance to enjoy the fabulous coastal panorama in the open air. At the moment, the top floor kitchen only has a small window facing north towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, but we think that even a mid-budget renovation project would be able to create a terrace on this level that would give you a bird's eye view of an enormous swathe of northern Sicily. To the rear, Casa Matteo has a view of the surrounding village from the upper floors, which is as charming as the front is dramatic and memorable. FOUR STOREYS AND OVER 150M2 OF LIVING SPACE The home is divided into six rooms, which could be configured in a variety of ways. Most of these are over 15m2, and the largest space, a second floor pair of rooms connected through a broad archway, offers over 40m2, plus the sea-view balcony at the front. We imagine the finished home with two bedrooms on the lower levels, a beautiful living room-cum-diner on the second floor and an unforgettable kitchen with full-wall glazing opening onto a roof terrace at the top of the property. A RENOVATION CHALLENGE THAT OFFERS A RICH REWARD As you'll see from our virtual tour and photography, it is obviously going to be necessary to dedicate time and budget to the historic home. The exact budget will depend on your needs and tastes, as well as how much of the work you're in a position to take care of yourself. We estimate that the final investment will need to be in the region of €110,000 – really, a bargain for the chance to own a piece of Sicilian heritage that's been remodelled to your exact taste. Some features that we think it would be a shame not to incorporate into the final design include a staircase made from the rare and exceptionally durable Billiemi stone, two floors' worth of clay tiles and the antique bread oven which has been built into the kitchen. Take a tour and let your imagination start to work on this fascinating restoration project! FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Giusi - San Michele di Ganzaria A three-storey home in a beautiful historic village, Casa Giusi stands at the centre of San Michele di Ganzaria in the south-eastern municipality of Caltagirone. BUILT TO MAXIMISE LIGHT AND SPACE Each of the three storeys of the little townhouse consists of a single living space and a bathroom. This means that even though it only has a single exposition, roughly west onto the quiet side street on which it stands, Casa Giusi is naturally lit and feels very spacious for its size. The ceilings are three metres, and the clean plaster walls and light ceramic floor tiles make the place roomy and easy to maintain. The windows are new and in aluminium, with external blackout shutters to let you get the best possible night's sleep and keep your property secure when you can't be there in person. TWO BEDROOMS; TWO AND A HALF BATHROOMS The ground floor is a welcoming kitchen-diner, with all the fixtures you need to prepare a meal in the best-lit portion of the property at the front, and a cosy dining space that's also big enough for a sofa and armchairs at the rear. A smart staircase leads you up to the bedrooms, under which is the primary bathroom, with a box shower in one corner. The first floor bedroom is the master, a really big 20+m2 with French windows opening straight onto a nice little terrace. You could easily put a table and chairs here and enjoy breakfast in the open air. An en-suite WC is small but practical. The second bedroom is only a little smaller and still enjoys its own balcony, where you can enjoy the sunshine on a summer afternoon. This too has an en-suite bathroom, with a miniature tub. AN HISTORIC REGION WITH UNESCO PROTECTION The Baroque towns of the Val di Noto have been recognised as a World Heritage Site by the global cultural authority UNESCO since 2002. The most westerly of these is Caltagirone, a twenty minute drive from San Michele di Ganzaria. The little village, where you will find all of the shops and facilities you need on a daily basis, is not much less historical in its own right, having been first settled during Sicily's ninth century Byzantine period. We think you and all of your visitors will love the unspoilt charm and traditional beauty of the region and this welcoming hillside community in particular. The value for money is obviously outstanding, and the well-maintained property has no urgent need for investment. At this price it won't be on the market long.

Casa Guttuso - Bagheria A terraced townhouse on two storeys, Casa Guttuso stands on a quiet street just five minutes walk from the centre of Bagheria. Although in need of a full renovation it has a lot of potential, and a great location in an area which is quiet but easily walkable to all of the large town's shops and key amenities. TWO BEDROOMS AND BRIGHT SUNNY LIVING AREAS In total, Casa Guttuso offers 74m2 of habitable space, split into five rooms. The ground floor has a high-ceilinged front room, with three glazed door panels opening onto the street outside. To the rear is an internal space accessed through an archway, which would make a fine guest room or an extension to the living area. The main bedroom is on the first floor, a large room similarly divided in two. There is lots of room to create a spacious bathroom and a walk-in closet. On the top floor there is a kitchen which opens through what is currently a single door to the terrace. If you can widen that and put in some French windows you'll have a beautiful bright space in which to cook and eat which both indoors and out. Even better, if faces South and the building opposite is only on two storeys, so you'll get a lot of direct sunshine all day long. RENOVATION GOALS It's going to be necessary to redo the roof, which isn't in great condition, and as you'd expect of an unrestored home of this age, to start from scratch with wiring and plumbing. Once you've done that though, installed a bathroom and kitchen and decorated, you will have a lovely property. We think that the whole renovation work could be completed to a nice standard for around forty thousand Euro. If you'd like to hear more about how those costs breakdown, or even talk to us about our renovation project management service, drop into one of our offices, pick the phone or email us today! PRACTICAL LOCATION WITH GREAT TRANSPORT LINKS The driving distance to Palermo is only twenty minutes, and Bagheria's train station, about two kilometres from your front door, will take you there in about the same time. From here, or by the nearby motorway, you can also head east towards Cefalù and Messina, or south down to Agrigento. Unlike some more touristy areas of the Sicilian coast, Bagheria is a real year-round city, with a thriving international community and some fantastic options for eating and nightlife that stay busy in all seasons.

Plot Galia - Montallegro Description The Galia property near Montallegro is very close to the Torre Salsa beach and is located in the nature reserve of the same name.

Casa Maria - Pollina Facing directly onto the church square in the heart of a medieval Madonie village, Casa Maria is a two-bedroom home on three floors in Pollina, ready to be lived in from the day of purchase. CAR ACCESS AND AN OPEN SETTING IN A HILLTOP VILLAGE One of the most practical advantages of Casa Maria is that it can be reached by car, something that is far from guaranteed in Sicily’s historic old towns. Situated on the edge of Pollina’s centre, overlooking the piazza in front of the Church of San Giuliano, the house enjoys a sense of openness and light that is rare in a village setting. East and north-facing windows give the upper floors bright, airy interiors, and on clear days the eastern horizon extends as far as Etna. The position also makes any future renovation work far more straightforward than it would be in the narrow alleyways deeper inside the old town. TWO BEDROOMS, A WORKING KITCHEN AND A DUAL-ASPECT LIVING ROOM The ground floor contains a guest bedroom, a storage area and the main bathroom with bathtub, bidet and washbasin. On the first floor, the main bedroom has a small balcony overlooking the piazza. The top floor is the highlight: a functioning kitchen with hob and oven leads into a large L-shaped living area with balconies to the east and north. A small service bathroom is also found at this level. Solid wood internal doors, aluminium external shutters and well-maintained plasterwork throughout reflect the quality of a thorough 1990s renovation. The marble staircase connecting the three floors adds a touch of character. MINOR TWEAKS, NOT A FULL RENOVATION While there are some areas to think about, Casa Maria is ready to be moved into from the day of completion. The main investment required will be in a new facade. Beyond that, the roof is in good condition, the electrics are functional and mains gas is available at the building for a future heating installation. Split-system air conditioning across the three floors would complete the picture without major building work. The ground floor is a garage conversion, which will need a permit to be fully standardised – but this process is already underway, and as soon as you complete, a certificate of lawful status will be issued. This is a property that offers a clear path to comfortable living with a modest and manageable scope of work. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Vaccaro - Altavilla Milicia Surrounded by over 2,000m2 of productive Mediterranean garden, Casa Vaccaro is a two-bedroom semi-detached villa with sea views in the hills above Altavilla Milicia, just half an hour from Palermo. A WORKING GARDEN AND OUTDOOR LIVING AT ITS BEST The star of the property is its extraordinary plot: olive trees, citrus groves, figs, pomegranates and almonds flourish across the grounds, while a 100m2 paved terrace with a wooden canopy provides a shaded outdoor living room with the sea glinting on the horizon. A traditional wood-fired oven and a 25m2 outbuilding – already connected to water and drainage – complete the setup. With the beautiful north Sicilian coast stretching in both directions, the location offers a fabulous views all year year round. ANTIQUE CHARACTER INDOORS The 65m2 interior is sold with its period furniture: solid wood chests of drawers, handcrafted sideboards and details that give the home a warmth and dignity rarely found in newer builds. The layout includes a living room with an arched opening to the kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Structurally part of a semi-detached building, the villa has fully separate access and solid boundary walls ensuring total privacy. THE PERFECT POSITION FOR EXPLORING THE ISLAND The proximity to both Sicily's north coast and internal motorways means that you can get almost anywhere on the island in under three hours. Indeed, most major cities and attractions – including Trapani and Marsala in the west, Agrigento in the South and Catania in the west – are less than a two hour drive. Palermo is only a half hour away, and the idyllic seafront of Cefalu is just a 40 minute drive. Nearby Altavilla Milicia provides a train station that also gives good connectivity by public transport. The nearest beaches are only four kilometres away. Whether you love to explore or are planning on hosting guests who will want to get out and about, there is something amazing to cater to all tastes. AFFORDABLE RENOVATION, STRONG RETURNS Some targeted work is needed – crack repair, updated finishes, modern heating and cooling – but the investment required is modest relative to the potential uplift in value. The outbuilding is a natural candidate for conversion into an independent guest suite. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa Francesca - Trabia A development property with approved plans for three new houses, Villa Francesca sits in a panoramic position above the coastal village of San Nicola l'Arena, midway between Cefalù and Palermo. A VILLA WITH FLEXIBLE POTENTIAL The property comprises a 1960s Mediterranean-style villa with two independent apartments, set in 2,500m2 of parkland planted with lemon and olive trees. The villa needs updating but the structure is sound, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a terrace and covered porticoes. At 140 metres above sea level and just over a kilometre from the coast, it enjoys sea views and cooling breezes. An authorised well provides water year-round, and the mature gardens are maintained by an irrigation system. DEVELOPMENT LAND WITH APPROVED PLANS Planning permission is already in place for three detached houses, each around 120m2, with private gardens exceeding 1,500m2 and even provision for swimming pools. This second lot, the land to be developed, has its own private access. Construction costs will come to about €160,000 per unit, and you will also need to budget for development charges at around approximately €75,000, but completed new properties in this area typically sell for around €230,000. We'll leave the maths to you and your accountants, but there is obvious potential here. QUIETLY VERSATILE LOCATION San Nicola l'Arena is a small marina community with basic amenities. Good connections along the coastal highway mean that nearby Trabia, Termini Imerese and Bagheria offer varying degrees of infrastructure, shops and services – all within a twenty minute radius. Palermo itself is reachable by train from San Nicola's little station or in half an hour by car, with the international airport reachable in around 45 minutes. The beach of Cefalù is only 40 minutes to the east. Although the property definitely feels rural, this is actually a quietly very well connected location and well worth consideration as a second home.
