Villa Sole - Aspra Twenty minutes from the centre of Palermo but on a beautifully quiet stretch of coastline, Villa Sole has an unbeatable position right on the waters of the Gulf of Palermo. AN UNBEATABLE BEACHFRONT LOCATION The property's back yard actually opens directly onto the sandy beach, just outside the fishing village of Aspra, in a neighbourhood which was always a favourite stomping ground for the rich and famous of Palermo to spend their summers, and is now seeing renewed investment from the regional authorities in the form of beach amenities and a sports centre.

The star attraction, however, is always going to be the sparkling turquoise waters of the Gulf of Palermo, which the architect of this spacious villa has managed to keep in view from almost every room. Nowhere is the view better than from the first floor terrace, a vast open space connected to two of the bedrooms, partially shaded by the eaves of the roof but predominantly sun-drenched throughout the daytime.

There's no better place from which to take in the colourful sunsets that spread out over the mountains behind Palermo across the bay. FOUR BEDROOMS, THREE BATHROOMS AND ALL THE LIVING SPACE YOU NEED The villa has four bedrooms, each of which is comfortably large enough to be a double, if needed. The master is a particularly impressive space, with an en-suite bathroom featuring a box shower, and a walk-in closet.

It's one of the pair that opens onto that superb terrace. Two further bathrooms are available for family use; one upstairs and one down. The daytime spaces are even bigger and beautifully designed. You'll find a cosy lounge with excellent lighting design, a compact dining room with a sea view, and the highlight huge a sun room with full glazing on the beach side; giving you an unbroken view out to the sand and surf beyond the terrace.

There is even an open fireplace on one side, meaning that this doesn't only have to be a summertime gathering spot. Elsewhere, the galley-style kitchen is well fitted and offers everything you need to prepare meals for the whole family. A WELL-LAID 1,000M2 PLOT The outdoor spaces include a ground floor terrace, similar in size to the one on the first floor above, which is still raised above the level of the beach beyond.

Here you'll find a simple outdoor kitchen and a useful tool shed. The front garden is leafy and tropical, with tall palm trees offering shade to the hardy grass lawn below. There is off-street parking for up to four vehicles. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE
