Casa Renato - Furnari A huge sea-facing plot with a view of the Marinello lakes and the Gulf of Tindari, Casa Renato is an intriguing property with enormous potential TWIN COTTAGE WITH SEA VIEWS The bricks and mortar on the estate are limited to a pair of cottages. One of these has a kitchen and a sleeping area, the other a living room and a bathroom with a shower. The former is an older building, although renovated with a new kitchen in masonry and colourful tiles, and recently installed windows. The latter, while officially an outbuilding, has a French window and a lovely sea view. GROW YOUR OWN OLIVES AND GRAPES The estate spans 10,000m2 of quiet hillside land. Around fifty percent of this estate is given to a huge vineyard, now somewhat overgrown but which has the potential to be regenerated and produce a fulsome crop of grapes every harvest season. Of the remaining land, much is given to an olive grove, where approximately 350 mature trees yield 600 litres of premium quality oil every year. The whole of the estate is classified as agricultural land, which means that you could raise livestock as well as growing any kind of fruit or vegetables here if you chose. AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AND BUILD The land's size would allow for the construction of a new home measuring up to 110m2, if you have the means to do so. It would certainly offer a spellbinding view, as well as a practical base from which to oversee the growth and collection of the fruit. A neighbouring plot is anticipated to come on the market in the very near future, giving the opportunity to expand the holding even further.

Appartamento Rosaria - Gioiosa Marea Looking for an affordable coastal home in Sicily that doesn’t require a full renovation? Appartamento Rosaria might just be the answer. SPACE AND LIGHT IN THE HEART OF TOWN Located on the first floor of a well-kept building in Gioiosa Marea, Appartamento Rosaria offers around 96m2 of living space with a bright and airy feel. The heart of the home is a spacious living-dining room, complete with air conditioning, two sofas, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. From here, you’ll find two bedrooms, each with its own balcony, making this an ideal setup for family living, guests, or a home office. PARTIAL SEA VIEWS AND THREE BALCONIES While the apartment isn’t right on the seafront, it still offers charming partial sea views from the kitchen, bathroom, and communal stairwell. The south-facing Juliet balcony off the kitchen brings in extra daylight and gives you that sought-after Sicilian indoor-outdoor connection. Plus, with two additional balconies off the bedrooms, you’ll have no shortage of spots to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening breeze. MOVE-IN READY WITH SCOPE TO IMPROVE Appartamento Rosaria already comes with independent heating, working electrics, and a fully operational kitchen and bathroom. The floors are in good condition, and the space is comfortably liveable as it is. That said, there’s clear potential to add value: a bathroom renovation, some fresh plaster and paint, and optional updates to the kitchen would quickly lift the whole property. Whether you’re looking for a starter holiday home, an affordable rental investment, or a project with manageable upgrades, Appartamento Rosaria delivers great value just a short stroll from the beach.

Casa Marinella - Mistretta A fabulous value-for-money proposition for a buyer with a little time to invest and the appetite for a renovation, Casa Marinella is a four-bedroom villa with an unbeatable view. Miles of Stunning Hillside Laid Out in Front of You On the western edges of the Nebrodi Natural Park, less than four kilometres from the hilltop town of Mistretta, Casa Marinella stands on the western bank of a dramatic valley, which plunges 400m downhill over just a couple of kilometres, directly to the rear of the house. With the mountains opposite rising up to peaks over a thousand metres above sea level, and the waters of the Mediterranean visible on the horizon away to your left, it's a magical panorama almost completely undisturbed by human activity. The two-storey villa has been built to take full advantage of this, at the top of a 4,000m2 plot filled with over a hundred olive and fruit trees, but offering an uninterrupted view over their green canopy from the ground floor terrace and the balcony upstairs. The lower level has nearly 50m2 of mostly covered patio, including an outdoor kitchen with traditional stone fireplaces and grill. This is a property which will transport you to a simpler way of life, in contact with nature and the food chain. 220M2 OF LIVING SPACE ON TWO FLOORS Of course, there is also a conventional kitchen indoors with an antique bread oven, none the less spacious and with room for a family dining table. Joining it on the ground floor are a living room whose window overlooks the valley, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Each of these last two spaces have patio doors straight out onto the terrace. On the first floor you'll find four more rooms and a second bathroom, although the fixtures for this are yet to be installed. Two of the rooms have valley views (even taking in the sea seven kilometres to the north, on a clear day), and the home is flanked by the balcony on two sides. To the rear there is another terrace, a large flat space which takes full advantage of the gradient of the land. A RENOVATION PROJECT WITH A FABULOUS PAYOFF There is a lot of work to be done before Casa Marinella can be said to be truly complete – the upper floor in particular is very much a work in progress. The walls need to be plastered and even, in some points, raised to the level of the roof. The floor is still in cement, and all of the decoration will need to be done from scratch. Of course, the advantage of this is that you can set the place up to look exactly as you would like. The ground floor could be used straight away, and indeed you could live there while working upstairs. At some point it, too, will need a fair amount of work however, with the wiring, windows and bathroom all in particular need of attention. Casa Marinella is definitely a project house – but for the sum of the purchase price and an investment around €100,000 you could own a really stunning big home fifteen minutes from the sea in one of Sicily's most underrated regions.

Casa Mariolina - Mistretta A magical place to get away from your cares and spend time in nature, Casa Mariolina is a one-storey cottage on an acre of sea-view land in northern Sicily. THE WILD BEAUTY OF THE NEBRODI PARK Sicily's largest natural park, the Nebrodi is a vast, mountainous region whose lower hills are characterised by leafy green hillsides and a quiet, unspoilt natural beauty. The estate on which Casa Mariolina has been built is a perfect embodiment of this, with sixty olive trees and all manner of wild fruits overlooking a deep valley, with views stretching as far as the Tyrrhenian Sea, ten kilometres to the north. It's a beautiful and fabulously relaxing spot to unwind and get back in touch with your friends and family. Everything is geared towards the social experience, with an open plan cottage, a deep covered veranda and an outdoor kitchen that would be a dream come true for any ambitious chef. A DELIGHT FOR ANY CHEF On a terrace slightly above the main house, back along the driveway towards the main road, a huge area has been flattened, paved with terracotta tiles, and enclosed with a handrail. Here you find the incredible outdoor kitchen, with a barbecue grill, twin wood-fired ovens and a deep vat above a fourth fireplace. Two large chimneys transport the smoke above the tiled wooden canopy overhead. There is also a sink, fridge and worktop. Absolutely everything you need to prepare a rustic feast. Outside the cottage, on the veranda, are a pair of long dining tables, and indoors are two more. You could easily feed twenty or more people at once, a testament to the role that communal living - and above all communal eating – have always played in the life of Casa Mariolina. Of course, there is also an indoor kitchen space to rustle up a simpler snack. But if you love nature and you love to entertain, this cottage in the hills would make an unbeatable place to combine the two. A VERSATILE INDOOR SPACE The open plan cottage consists of a single large room, with a lounge area that becomes a bedroom with the use of a sofa bed, a dining space in the middle and a kitchen at the far end. Two separate entrances would allow you to create a proper bedroom if you wanted to. The bathroom has a shower and is neatly finished with a clean white tile. Completing the estate, which spans three parcels of land, is a storeroom for all of the equipment necessary to maintain the land and its trees. The property is sold as seen in our photos and video, including all fixtures and furniture. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

The large dining table is a magical place to enjoy meals in the summer. HUGE RUSTIC OUTBUILDING TO RENOVATE To the rear of the main house is a huge 140m2 outbuilding divided into two units, each with a separate entrance. The larger is in better condition, with a fixed oven and an exposed wooden ceiling. Behind this is a stone room that needs to be completely restored before use. The first room, next to the outdoor kitchen, contains an old-fashioned wine press that is included with the sale, as well as all kinds of equipment that can be used to help tend the estate and harvest its fruit. In fact, everything you see in our photos and virtual tour is included - there is even a tractor! Peace and Seclusion with Sensational Hillside Views This corner of the island offers the possibility to completely disconnect from modern life. It has a private water supply from both a well and a nearby spring and it would be very possible to install solar panels to give you energy independence too. The olive grove contains about 250 mature trees, and there is also a huge array of fruit trees and more than enough space to grow your own vegetables. It's an area where a car is essential, but the town of Mistretta is only twenty minutes' drive up the road. To the north is Santo Stefano di Camastra, and there are plenty of wonderful beaches within an hour's radius, none more spectacular than the golden sandy seafront of Cefalù to the west. With the green slopes of Sicily's largest natural park to explore above you and the pristine waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea below, it's a magnificent spot for lovers of the great outdoors.

Castello Rosso - Rodì Milici A one-bedroom apartment with a balcony view to win your heart immediately, Castello Rosso is part of a small holiday complex at the heart of a charming Sicilian village. With use of a swimming pool, sauna and roof terrace it is a great way to spend time in the Mediterranean in luxury and style, without an extravagant price tag and wearing maintenance hassles. GREAT USE OF NATURAL LIGHT The apartment is divided into two rooms, the living area and a bedroom. The former is very large, L-shaped, and designed to take full advantage of Sicily's 300 annual days of sunshine. Morning sun comes streaming in through the wall to the east, which has been fully glazed with a sliding door that opens onto a roomy balcony. The views of the valley make the perfect breakfast backdrop. The wall to the south has no windows, but glass bricks have been liberally added into the wall, allowing beautiful patterns of light to play out across the room all throughout the day. The bedroom has a garden view, and although it is much smaller than the kitchen-living room, it has plenty of storage space in the form of an alcove closet. An en-suite bathroom with a cubicle shower has been brightly finished in clean white tiles. SWIMMING POOL, SAUNA AND ROOF TERRACE The property comes with shared ownership of a beautiful garden and grounds that are filled with some incredible features. Best of all is the sparking swimming pool, an unbeatable spot to cool off in the heat of the Sicilian summer. But you'll also have the option to warm up in a wooden sauna, nestled underneath the orange trees. The roof terrace is huge, 65m, with some amazing panoramic views over the little village of Rodì Milici and the green hillsides that frame it. There is also a garage which connects directly up into your apartment, and a garden planted with all kinds of local fruit trees and vegetation. The condominium fee, which covers the maintenance of all of this, is a very reasonable €50 per month. A Rural Location with Fabulous Nature in all Directions Rodì Milici is a typical Sicilian village, quiet and certainly not touristy, notwithstanding the small complex in which Castello Rosso stands. The nearest beach is just ten minutes away, and if you prefer your nature a bit more high altitude you can reach the slopes of both the Nebrodi Natural Park and Mount Etna in a short drive. Out to sea are the spectacular Aeolian Islands, and the glamour of Taormina is only 30km to the south. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Luciano - Forza D'Agrò Nearly 400m above sea level but less than a kilometre from the nearest beach as the crow flies, Casa Luciano commands phenomenal views of Sicily's eastern coast as it runs south to the famous resort of Taormina. Restore a Home in the Sun The three storey property is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen-cum-sun room and a snug living room on the ground floor which is heated by a fireplace. There is character in spades, with one unique feature the fact that the home has literally been built into the rock face against which it stands. In one of the showers, and behind the sink in the kitchen, the back wall is literally just exposed bare rock. Some work will be needed to make the most of the charming home, including replacement windows and bathroom fixtures. However, the raw beauty of this historic property, not to mention the amazing views from those upper terraces, guarantees a handsome return on your effort and investment. A Place in Cinema History Just seven kilometres north of the luxurious holiday landmark, the picture-postcard village of Forza d'Agrò is an attraction in its own right, having featured in the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy. It's easy to see why the lovely hilltop community was chosen to evoke the Sicily of a hundred years ago... it's everything you imagine from a traditional hamlet on the island, from the narrow cobbled streets to the terracotta-tiled rooftops. The population declined dramatically over the past fifty years, but the international market has seen it start to recover in recent years, with overseas investment helping to restore a gentle bustle of activity to the alleyways and tiny piazzas of the town. Great Potential as an Income Generator Needless to say, the village's proximity to the sights of Taormina and its connection to the world of cinema mean that there is plenty of potential to recoup much of your outlay in periods where you can't use the home in person. In peak season a well presented two-bedroom property in Forza d'Agrò can command up to a thousand Euros a week. Take a look through our full listing and our information-packed website to find out how we can help you manage your new purchase even after the contract has been exchanged.

Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'Alunzio A pair of properties contained within the same detached villa, Casa Gullotti comprises a fully renovated and joyfully traditional three-bedroom home on the upper floor, and a restoration project space on the ground floor. Set into the hillside, just three kilometres inland from Sicily's north coast in the lower hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park, it enjoys fabulous sea views from the windows, gardens and all three balconies. A Classic Home Beautifully Restored The upper floor is a real classic of Sicilian style. The patterned floor tiles are locally produced and a great example of the design school that finished many of the great houses of the region. You will also note the quality of the marble finishings in the two bathrooms, and the characteristic fixed oven in the kitchen, built into a solid counter that has been finished in a bright checkerboard tile. The three double bedrooms are all large, and two have their own balconies. One overlooks the sea to the north, while the other gets day-round sunshine on the souther side of the property. In the middle, facing east towards the region's spectacular sunsets, is a living room with a balcony of its own. 120m2 to Renovate The ground floor is identical in size, with a front door to the south and direct access onto the gardens. It is in need of a total renovation, including new plastering, wiring and plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen and all decoration. However, the structure of the building is sound. It is fully independent of the upper apartment, meaning that it would be perfectly possible to sell one on and cover the costs of the other, or to let one as a holiday home. The space outdoors is not well maintained but with some investment of time and/or money could prove a really sunny and scenic spot in which to spend long afternoons or eat outside in the warm summer evenings.

It is sold fully furnished, with all contents as seen. ...and one to renovate Casa Calderaro is a similar size and shape to Casa Vasi, and also has that wonderful valley-view balcony. There the similarities end, however, as this house has been completely stripped of all plaster, partitions and utilities. With the exception of a few floor tiles which you might choose to reuse it's a blank canvas. The windows on the long side of the space have a lovely hillside view, better in fact than the other apartment has to offer. The roof seems to be well maintained too. And there is the same basement underneath the main living area. However, a significant investment of time and capital will be needed to turn this back into a modern living space.

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.
