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.

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.
